- 1:58Speaker 1: you don't have these many you don't have these any
- 2:00Speaker 1: brands instead around it can't communicate. Communication is one of

- 2:06Speaker 1: you sit around and you and you and you decide
- 2:09Speaker 1: and how you plan out your your brands, and how
- 2:12Speaker 1: you communicate your brains. I mean, I think we have
- 2:18Speaker 1: to understand that even miss the media today. Dude, if
- 2:21Speaker 1: you can't communicate about what you believe, what your morals are,
- 2:25Speaker 1: what your vision is, you can believe in yourself all day,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but if you can't get other people to believe in
- 2:29Speaker 1: what you're doing, then I mean, you really don't have
- 2:31Speaker 1: a business. And I mean we're talking about entrepreneurship, and
- 2:35Speaker 1: you know, being a CEO, your life is based off
- 2:38Speaker 1: of communication. And I think, um, you know it only
- 2:42Speaker 1: happens on the outside in public what you practice in private.
- 2:46Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest. I come from a father
- 2:48Speaker 1: who is a master communicator and he's just been one
- 2:52Speaker 1: of the things that I would say makes me who
- 2:55Speaker 1: I am today is my confidence within myself and I've
- 2:59Speaker 1: gotten He's taught me how to believe in myself. And
- 3:02Speaker 1: so at home, we are constantly practicing communication. Um, we
- 3:07Speaker 1: have Oh my gosh, you're gonna think he's crazy, ready
- 3:09Speaker 1: for this. We have morning meetings about the smallest of things.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I remember when I was younger, we would even have
- 3:15Speaker 1: morning meetings about Okay, if something a family member disliked, Okay,
- 3:19Speaker 1: what are you gonna do about it? Let's negotiate a plan.
- 3:21Speaker 1: How are you guys going to overcome your disagreement? You know,
- 3:23Speaker 1: physical altercation wasn't allowed, but um, it's something that he
- 3:28Speaker 1: definitely prepared me to do. And I'm so grateful for
- 3:30Speaker 1: my father because I'm where I am today because of
- 3:34Speaker 1: his leadership. And where are you based there right now? Oh,
- 3:38Speaker 1: weren't Philly. Weren't Philadelphia. But my father is um uncle
- 3:41Speaker 1: magic and the hip hop magician. He's really well known.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Um he does he does celebrities, kid's birthday parties. He's
- 3:47Speaker 1: a magician. He owns a uh a children entertainment company.
- 3:50Speaker 1: And he's from New York. But then we migrated to
- 3:53Speaker 1: Philly because um it had been a little bit cheaper
- 3:57Speaker 1: for some office space. Was like yeah, the big New
- 4:00Speaker 1: York ate the move. So so so your father was
- 4:05Speaker 1: was an entertainer. Oh yes, he's a comedian, he's a
- 4:09Speaker 1: he's a magician. So he's done parties for Russell Simmons
- 4:15Speaker 1: to Jay Z, everybody. I gotta get your father on
- 4:17Speaker 1: the show. Now, you that wasn't that wasn't in your
- 4:21Speaker 1: bio nowhere. Now, your father already got me inspired because
- 4:24Speaker 1: I'm my my, I'm an entertainer. My my, what when
- 4:27Speaker 1: you stand up comic? That's how I started, before I
- 4:30Speaker 1: got into managing people and writing sitcoms. And because I
- 4:33Speaker 1: played a major role in my whole life, you know.
- 4:36Speaker 1: But being a magician, a black magician. Yeah, I'm not
- 4:40Speaker 1: even trying to brag, but my dad is so much
- 4:42Speaker 1: cooler than everybody else's dad. Well guess what. I want
- 4:45Speaker 1: to put him on one and making conversation. But let's
- 4:47Speaker 1: stay go on, just day, stay to you because he
- 4:48Speaker 1: made he built this brand through you, and you're great communicators.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And one of the things you wanted to talk about
- 4:53Speaker 1: was generational wealth. Let's talk about that, breaking breaking generational
- 4:57Speaker 1: curses of poverty. She puts her family in position to
- 5:00Speaker 1: run her companies as they build legacy together. The first
- 5:03Speaker 1: company to gain international success was the Sprinkle of Jesus App,
- 5:07Speaker 1: which is the media company which she then began to
- 5:09Speaker 1: branch off to need to need based front business and
- 5:13Speaker 1: build an empire of profitable sources of income. Yeah, I think, yeah,
- 5:18Speaker 1: I think what happened and really, just to put it
- 5:20Speaker 1: in a nutshell, because anyone listening, like, yo, you guys,
- 5:23Speaker 1: I don't want you guys to just listen to this
- 5:25Speaker 1: and just be inspired enough to oh my gosh, that
- 5:27Speaker 1: was so cool, like it be inspired enough to actually
- 5:30Speaker 1: do something, you know what I mean. And so for me,
- 5:32Speaker 1: we learned really quickly with this social media generation. Of
- 5:36Speaker 1: course I was getting popular on social media, on Instagram,
- 5:38Speaker 1: on the Facebook. And it's only took one time, are
- 5:42Speaker 1: you listening very righty for this? It only took one
- 5:44Speaker 1: time for me to wake up and um, you ever
- 5:46Speaker 1: get you met him? Not gotten it? But there was
- 5:48Speaker 1: a little post on my phone and it said this
- 5:51Speaker 1: image has been deleted due to infringement on the Instagram policy.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And so immediately that rose a flag to me and
- 6:00Speaker 1: my father, and we're like, yo, we're building a brand
- 6:02Speaker 1: into business. But if your business is homeless, if your
- 6:05Speaker 1: business doesn't have a home, it's homeless. And so at
- 6:08Speaker 1: any point in time, your social media page can be
- 6:10Speaker 1: ripped from you. You are not the controller of that.
- 6:13Speaker 1: And so we built Sprinkle of Jesus app and we
- 6:15Speaker 1: started literally marketing. Um. We knew that it would gain
- 6:19Speaker 1: a lot of momentum. We started, um, you know, selling
- 6:21Speaker 1: in that purchases selling advertisement. It was just such a
- 6:24Speaker 1: profitable platform for the Christian community continue to share their gifts.
- 6:28Speaker 1: So for example, people um Christians with books who just
- 6:31Speaker 1: dropped businesses, they would advertise on Sprinkle of Jesus. And
- 6:35Speaker 1: then we were like, you know, I'm the oldest out
- 6:38Speaker 1: of nine, so more of my brothers and sisters were
- 6:41Speaker 1: coming to age. So we quickly said, okay, let's make
- 6:44Speaker 1: sure while building an empire, we each look at their
- 6:47Speaker 1: gifts and their talents unless put them in position of
- 6:50Speaker 1: what business we think would be good. So that you know,
- 6:53Speaker 1: because Sprinkle Jesus is based off of cool, that we
- 6:56Speaker 1: need to start building things that no matter what noble matter,
- 6:59Speaker 1: if I'm not on social me anymore, if you know,
- 7:01Speaker 1: God forbid I die today, that my family would still
- 7:03Speaker 1: be able to survive. And so what we did was
- 7:06Speaker 1: is we started building need based businesses in credit, in
- 7:10Speaker 1: um taxes and things that aren't going nowhere, you know
- 7:13Speaker 1: what I mean, like aren't going anywhere. And we started
- 7:16Speaker 1: being the biggest advertisers on the sprinkled je app with
- 7:19Speaker 1: over eight million people. Now you are first of all
- 7:23Speaker 1: you when I you're catching me off gold, your your energy.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You're you really I gotta catch up here with you
- 7:29Speaker 1: because you really this is not Can you come back
- 7:33Speaker 1: on my show? I'm already rescheduling you. First of all,
- 7:36Speaker 1: I hear whateveryone. I love you, so I'm down whatever.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You're so supportive to the community, and I couldn't imagine,
- 7:42Speaker 1: like legit, where so many people would be if they
- 7:46Speaker 1: didn't run into you. And so you have my attention whenever.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Why are you laughing at your shot? You obviously don't
- 7:55Speaker 1: know who you're talking to. I'll and you so and
- 8:02Speaker 1: you you hitting everything that I'll talk about. It's just
- 8:04Speaker 1: it's just crazy and listening to come back to me
- 8:06Speaker 1: so fast. You know, I'm supposed to be what I'm
- 8:08Speaker 1: the host of this show. I'm supposed to be the
- 8:10Speaker 1: most the smartest person on this call. You hit me
- 8:13Speaker 1: with so much going like I was supposed to say
- 8:15Speaker 1: that she's taking over my show. I'm not taking because
- 8:22Speaker 1: it really is true. You know I always tell people,
- 8:24Speaker 1: because I always tell people. You know, you you control
- 8:26Speaker 1: the media, you can control your vards, and you can
- 8:29Speaker 1: dictate your traffic. That's what you're saying, and that's what
- 8:32Speaker 1: you're doing with these apps. You said ra Sean. Build
- 8:34Speaker 1: your brand through your apps, and when you know your
- 8:36Speaker 1: audience that you're attracting, then you play back information to them.
- 8:39Speaker 1: They respond to the information. You have to run out
- 8:42Speaker 1: and put an ad on a TV or put a
- 8:46Speaker 1: post on Facebook. Develop these apps, control your whether you're
- 8:50Speaker 1: a baker or whether you're a person who does concerts
- 8:53Speaker 1: or a person who does taxes. Take the time to
- 8:56Speaker 1: build your brand and collect that information about the people
- 8:59Speaker 1: who want to know about your brand. Then market back
- 9:02Speaker 1: to them and you get the reaction you want very fast.
- 9:05Speaker 1: That's what you think. Yeah, and I think yeah, And
- 9:11Speaker 1: I think for me, just as a young woman, right,
- 9:13Speaker 1: I understand I'm going to be in a constant state
- 9:17Speaker 1: of growth, evolution. And so for me, you know, you know,
- 9:20Speaker 1: I started out as people knew me as like kind
- 9:23Speaker 1: of the internet preacher, right, and then I became you know,
- 9:26Speaker 1: I showed people my life on you know, entrepreneurship and
- 9:29Speaker 1: leading a team and being a leader and being the CEO,
- 9:31Speaker 1: and then you know, I went through a natural hair
- 9:33Speaker 1: journey and then go ahead and and I built a um.
- 9:36Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm I'm just laying on it right now.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I'm taking over the um, the beauty supply stores, that's happening,
- 9:42Speaker 1: that's going to happen soon. Um. But when it came
- 9:45Speaker 1: to things, I just realized that I was in a
- 9:47Speaker 1: consistate of evolution. And so what I like now, I'm
- 9:50Speaker 1: not gonna like later, which means that people like now,
- 9:54Speaker 1: they're not gonna like later. So when it came to
- 9:56Speaker 1: making sure at least I acquired the data who once
- 9:59Speaker 1: believed in me. That's like right now asking the reason
- 10:02Speaker 1: why these big brands pay celebrities to be the face
- 10:05Speaker 1: of their company. Because there's this sense of trust and likability.
- 10:08Speaker 1: So if I can control that and continue to feed
- 10:11Speaker 1: the customers and and and my followers and the people
- 10:15Speaker 1: and the downloaders new things, and they'll grow with me,
- 10:18Speaker 1: and so I'll never be starting at zero anymore. And
- 10:20Speaker 1: so that's what the app for us and has legit
- 10:23Speaker 1: made every single company that I've built a piece of cake.
- 10:27Speaker 1: We're right now jumping jack tax. We help people start
- 10:30Speaker 1: their tax preparation companies, and um, we already have just
- 10:34Speaker 1: the first six months. My husband is the headrunner. That
- 10:38Speaker 1: every single business is ran by a different family member,
- 10:41Speaker 1: and um, we already have three hundred tax preparation offices
- 10:45Speaker 1: across the country due to the fact that one we
- 10:48Speaker 1: built the platform, we continue to innovate how we could
- 10:51Speaker 1: serve other people, and boom we are now we already
- 10:55Speaker 1: have a customer based We're not starting over again. And
- 10:57Speaker 1: so I wish more people would think about acquiring their
- 11:01Speaker 1: data so they never had to start over. Let you know,
- 11:03Speaker 1: when they're their kids took over anything like that. I
- 11:07Speaker 1: love it. I love it. I'm looking at your Instagram.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I went to it, had to find out more about it.
- 11:12Speaker 1: She has five names, seven thousand followers on Instagram count
- 11:15Speaker 1: you know, she has a she has a check that

- 14:33Speaker 1: Let Go the upcoming bloom House Tilt release, which I
- 14:37Speaker 1: saw the movie and then at the end I realized
- 14:39Speaker 1: it was a bloom House. I should have realized it
- 14:41Speaker 1: was a bloom House. Who I saw the movie and
- 14:42Speaker 1: I know what I was I was been getting into
- 14:44Speaker 1: because it's a fantastic movie. The movie premiered at Sundaz
- 14:47Speaker 1: Film Festival and premiered in Atlanta at the Bronze Lens
- 14:51Speaker 1: Film Festival. It was the opening movie. Please Welcome to
- 14:54Speaker 1: Money Making Conversations, David or Yellowa. Hello, Hello, my friend,
- 14:58Speaker 1: how you doing very well? And kids? Well you look good?
- 15:01Speaker 1: Got all black? Is at the look? Or when you
- 15:02Speaker 1: doing press day? Well you know I knew I was
- 15:05Speaker 1: gonna be meeting you or better better step up? Well
- 15:09Speaker 1: this is regular, this is addressed regular. But I'm great
- 15:12Speaker 1: to have your studio. Let's talk about uh, your career. Okay. Um.
- 15:19Speaker 1: So when I say Nigerian, yeah, okay and to England.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I was born in the UK to Nigerian parents, but
- 15:26Speaker 1: I lived in the Nigeria from the age of six
- 15:28Speaker 1: to thirteen before moving back to the ukn Okay cool.
- 15:31Speaker 1: So now you went to the accent there you know, No,
- 15:36Speaker 1: it's not now you're talking about last night the movie. Yeah,
- 15:41Speaker 1: well that that guy is a detective from South Central absolutely,
- 15:44Speaker 1: and so it's it's it's fun. It's fun being able
- 15:47Speaker 1: to portray all these roles. And so when I when
- 15:49Speaker 1: I was reading through your resume and it's just a
- 15:51Speaker 1: small party resume. You know, how do you prepare? Well,
- 15:57Speaker 1: you know, my philosophy is to go to the character
- 16:00Speaker 1: rather than bringing the character to you. So you know,
- 16:02Speaker 1: it's it's what's on the page. Um. If it's a
- 16:05Speaker 1: fictional character, then you have to build that a bit more,
- 16:08Speaker 1: especially if they're an American character. I find someone who
- 16:13Speaker 1: is like that character, who's from the place that character
- 16:16Speaker 1: is from, in order to be able to build the accent,
- 16:18Speaker 1: to be able to build some of the idiosyncrasies. I'm
- 16:21Speaker 1: not from here, so I can't assume that I have
- 16:24Speaker 1: all the cultural information that you need for that role.
- 16:27Speaker 1: But if it's a historical figure, then there's a lot
- 16:29Speaker 1: more resource exactly. So you interview people, you read a lot,
- 16:32Speaker 1: you watch documentaries, you do the voice work as well.
- 16:35Speaker 1: But you know, I tend to gravitate towards roles that
- 16:39Speaker 1: require a lot of work because I truly believe that
- 16:41Speaker 1: as an actor, the idea is to inhabit um, you know,
- 16:45Speaker 1: a human being the likes of which is not you.
- 16:49Speaker 1: That that that's what makes me feel like I'm going
- 16:50Speaker 1: to work. So let's let's just red after three movies
- 16:54Speaker 1: The Butler, which is different, Yeah, and then you had
- 16:57Speaker 1: The Help, Yeah, and then you have Planet of Rise
- 17:01Speaker 1: of the Planet of the Age, so different. How do
- 17:05Speaker 1: you prepare for each one of those? Well, you know
- 17:09Speaker 1: that the Butler, you know, I was playing uh some
- 17:13Speaker 1: Lewis gains in that forest. Whittaker and Oprah Winfrey's son
- 17:17Speaker 1: in that film. And I had to go from being
- 17:18Speaker 1: a teenager all the way through being in my in
- 17:21Speaker 1: my sixties for that. So that was a lot of
- 17:24Speaker 1: reading around history what was going on in America, especially
- 17:28Speaker 1: as it pertains African Americans in the fifties, sixties, seventies,
- 17:31Speaker 1: all the way through to the presidency of Obama. So
- 17:34Speaker 1: that that was exhaustive. But I actually had someone to
- 17:38Speaker 1: base it on that that that story was based on
- 17:40Speaker 1: a real um Butler and his son was still with us,
- 17:44Speaker 1: so I could speak to him and and so that
- 17:46Speaker 1: that that was fairly straightforward in terms of the work
- 17:49Speaker 1: that was required with that the help I was playing
- 17:50Speaker 1: a Southern Baptist preacher in the in that film, so
- 17:54Speaker 1: and that was a fictional character within a real context.
- 17:58Speaker 1: So I had to, you know, find a way to
- 18:00Speaker 1: generalize rum still be specific, but not necessarily have a
- 18:04Speaker 1: real person. And then the Rise of the Planet of
- 18:06Speaker 1: the Apes is just, you know, an action sort of
- 18:09Speaker 1: popcorn movie, but that, to be perfectly frank, requires less preparation,
- 18:13Speaker 1: less preparation, but a lot of work still because there's
- 18:17Speaker 1: a certain physical characteration, characterization that you have to give
- 18:20Speaker 1: and then you have to stay within the moment all
- 18:22Speaker 1: the time. And so so I would never say because
- 18:25Speaker 1: I can't act. I can tell the joke, okay, but
- 18:27Speaker 1: I can't get that. You know that not everyone knows that.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, Rushan McDonald will not
- 18:32Speaker 1: showing for any acting classes because I tried paying a
- 18:35Speaker 1: lot of money and somebody told me this is not
- 18:37Speaker 1: what you do. And so so the movie that you
- 18:39Speaker 1: that I saw you and unfortunately your your team was able.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I came back specifically for this movie for the interview.
- 18:46Speaker 1: I wasn't watching the d C and UH and yesterday
- 18:49Speaker 1: and a Council Mark flight to go to Philadelphia today
- 18:51Speaker 1: because I said, an opportunity to sit down and talk
- 18:54Speaker 1: with a man of your immense talent. And when you
- 18:56Speaker 1: get an award, and what does that mean to you?
- 18:59Speaker 1: When you are when you receive an award, because you
- 19:01Speaker 1: know you've got the global globe, you get in double
- 19:03Speaker 1: atp ple iconic role of modein Luther King Jr. Which
- 19:07Speaker 1: means that they resonated with the African American community, which
- 19:10Speaker 1: had to be a proud moment for you. And so
- 19:13Speaker 1: when you get the Spirit Awards, So when you get
- 19:14Speaker 1: these awards at each level, that means something to you. Correct. Yeah,
- 19:19Speaker 1: in my what I do is a very subjective thing.
- 19:23Speaker 1: You know, one person will love that performance, the same
- 19:25Speaker 1: performance another person will hate it. Um it's it's art,
- 19:29Speaker 1: So it's it's it's you know, the beauty is definitely
- 19:32Speaker 1: in the eye of the beholder. So when a group,
- 19:35Speaker 1: whether it's a certain academy or it's a it's an
- 19:40Speaker 1: award that you're being given because the public have decided
- 19:43Speaker 1: they enjoyed your performance. That's huge because it basically means
- 19:47Speaker 1: that this very subjective thing I do, more people than
- 19:50Speaker 1: not have liked it, and and and and that does
- 19:53Speaker 1: not always happen trust me. Um, So you know that's
- 19:56Speaker 1: it's it's incredibly encouraging. And a lot of what I
- 19:59Speaker 1: do as an is built on confidence. The more confident
- 20:02Speaker 1: you are, the more risks you're able to take, I think,
- 20:04Speaker 1: the more compelling the performances you can give. So it's
- 20:07Speaker 1: always encouraging when anyone acknowledges that you've done a good job.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Let's talk about why you're here today, because you're promoting
- 20:12Speaker 1: a movie that comes out August thirty. It's called Don't
- 20:15Speaker 1: Let Go, a bloom House Productions. And let me just
- 20:19Speaker 1: tell you if a little bit about blom Houses you
- 20:21Speaker 1: don't know, the last ten years they've produced over seventy
- 20:24Speaker 1: five horrible movies are intense dramas. I would call them
- 20:28Speaker 1: as well. Uh, some of the movies you know about
- 20:31Speaker 1: Happy Birthday, the Purge series, which is the first Purge
- 20:34Speaker 1: which I really liked, that just recently came up with,
- 20:37Speaker 1: had African American cast get Out. We all know about
- 20:40Speaker 1: that Halloween US. We all know about that Glass Black Clansmen.
- 20:45Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned these African American movies that after
- 20:49Speaker 1: consider this an African American start movie cast movie. Well,
- 20:52Speaker 1: you know, I like to think of it as a
- 20:55Speaker 1: film that happens to have an African American cost. What
- 20:58Speaker 1: I love about what bloom Hunts is doing is that
- 21:01Speaker 1: some of their films center around raised some of them
- 21:04Speaker 1: are not US. For instance, you know that could have
- 21:06Speaker 1: been a white family exactly. It was actually written as
- 21:11Speaker 1: a as a as a white family was sitting Ohio,
- 21:14Speaker 1: not South central Los Angeles, and not with an African
- 21:17Speaker 1: American cast. And I think that the more of that
- 21:19Speaker 1: happens the better, really, because I think black film or
- 21:24Speaker 1: African American films. There are films that you could rightly
- 21:27Speaker 1: label as that, but instantaneously they are limited. It feels
- 21:30Speaker 1: like it's for a specific audience. It feels like it
- 21:33Speaker 1: doesn't have a far reach. We've been told this life
- 21:35Speaker 1: forever that black doesn't travel and especially international. Exactly. Now,
- 21:40Speaker 1: can you imagine Jay Z or Kanye West Mousic being
- 21:44Speaker 1: deemed black music. You know, it's just great music and
- 21:48Speaker 1: the world loves it. And I like to think of
- 21:51Speaker 1: that as what's starting to happen with films that have
- 21:54Speaker 1: predominantly African American cast or black cast or African cast.
- 21:58Speaker 1: They just just be deemed great movivies because a white
- 22:01Speaker 1: cost or or a film with a prominently white cause,
- 22:04Speaker 1: it's not called a white movie, right exactly, that's not
- 22:09Speaker 1: a movie. So you know, I think I think that
- 22:12Speaker 1: the getting beyond that is going to be huge for
- 22:15Speaker 1: the business side of of of making movies for African
- 22:18Speaker 1: Americans and black people generally, and brown people generally, because
- 22:22Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I don't think that's
- 22:24Speaker 1: white people watch movies, especially when you are going for
- 22:27Speaker 1: a broad audience. But it's really interesting because I'm older
- 22:30Speaker 1: than you and I grew up under the black export,
- 22:33Speaker 1: black exportation films, right, Well, these movies was specifically created
- 22:37Speaker 1: for the black market. You know, it was the it
- 22:40Speaker 1: was the black guy versus the whitey. You know, we
- 22:43Speaker 1: got it in our all purpose that we got over
- 22:46Speaker 1: now the whole theme of these movies. And you're absolutely right.
- 22:49Speaker 1: When I look at the movies, and I'm so proud
- 22:51Speaker 1: of that, I'm so proud that First Purge was the
- 22:53Speaker 1: highest grossing movie out of that series. That means that
- 22:58Speaker 1: it's sold overseas because I've follow international dollars and it's
- 23:01Speaker 1: important when I see, you know, and I'll be honest,
- 23:04Speaker 1: a Denzel movie destroys domestically, they don't push it overseas,
- 23:09Speaker 1: and so and there's a lot of it has to
- 23:10Speaker 1: do it not pushing it overseas, not putting you on
- 23:13Speaker 1: those press junkets, you know, in in England, in Germany,
- 23:17Speaker 1: in France, in China, in Korea, in Africa. These are
- 23:21Speaker 1: the junkets that get you those international eyeballs. And that's important.
- 23:25Speaker 1: How do you think we can break that? How are
- 23:27Speaker 1: you thinking it's just a system. It's just to keep
- 23:29Speaker 1: working at it, because that's what you're doing. You have
- 23:31Speaker 1: an international brand. You you appear in international movies, so
- 23:35Speaker 1: your name has cachet that helps correct I think it's
- 23:39Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy. If you decide something isn't going
- 23:42Speaker 1: to be a success internationally, it won't. You know, what
- 23:45Speaker 1: happens with studios a lot of the time is they
- 23:48Speaker 1: literally just decide, they decide who's going to be a star,
- 23:52Speaker 1: what's going to be a success, and they put the
- 23:54Speaker 1: dollars behind it to drive that success. And if on
- 23:57Speaker 1: top of that you actually have a good product, then
- 23:59Speaker 1: you really have something on your hands. I think we've
- 24:02Speaker 1: seen with some of those films that you mentioned earlier,
- 24:04Speaker 1: Get Out Us, you can add Black Panther to that.
- 24:07Speaker 1: These are all the kinds of films that traditionally what
- 24:11Speaker 1: what we were told that that's not gonna work. The
- 24:14Speaker 1: Butler that you mentioned earlier, we couldn't get that film made.
- 24:17Speaker 1: No studio wanted to make it. He ended up making
- 24:20Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy million dollars on a on a
- 24:23Speaker 1: I think twenty million dollar budget. If all those studios
- 24:26Speaker 1: had anticipated that amount of trust me, they would have
- 24:29Speaker 1: come on board absolutely. And that's what we're talking about.
- 24:31Speaker 1: On the show about to show that we're talking about
- 24:33Speaker 1: the producer of the movie Don't Let Go. Um. The
- 24:37Speaker 1: thing about the premiere this week, you got the trail
- 24:39Speaker 1: Blazer Award at the said premiered this week at the
- 24:43Speaker 1: Bronze Lands Films Festival. It premieres in the in the
- 24:46Speaker 1: theaters August. And when you got that honor, what ring
- 24:51Speaker 1: do you mind? Well? I sort of focused on the
- 24:54Speaker 1: phrase trail blazer. And the truth of the matter is
- 24:57Speaker 1: I I absolutely stand on the shoulders of several actors
- 25:01Speaker 1: who have gone before me, who have opened the doors
- 25:03Speaker 1: that I've looked through, a lot of them whose names
- 25:05Speaker 1: we don't even know because they had to work so
- 25:08Speaker 1: hard to break ground. That was so tough. Um. And
- 25:11Speaker 1: I'm just so glad that I live in a world
- 25:13Speaker 1: now where someone like storm Read can be playing the
- 25:16Speaker 1: kind of role she gets to play and Don't Let Go.
- 25:18Speaker 1: That just wasn't happening when I was younger. You know,
- 25:21Speaker 1: she was fourteen when we made this film. The idea
- 25:23Speaker 1: that a fourteen year old girl can get this unity, yeah, exactly,
- 25:27Speaker 1: the arrange, the opportunity to be able to build a
- 25:30Speaker 1: career earlier. I mean, you mentioned Denzel Washington. You could
- 25:33Speaker 1: talk about Sam Jackson, you can talk about a bunch
- 25:35Speaker 1: of other actors as well. They weren't afforded these kind
- 25:38Speaker 1: of opportunities till they were deep into their thirties their fourties,
- 25:41Speaker 1: but they had been working exactly you look at Morgan
- 25:44Speaker 1: Freeman as well, to add to that, they were not
- 25:47Speaker 1: being afforded opportunities as teenagers or even in their twenties,
- 25:52Speaker 1: or even in their thirties, and and that that's a
- 25:55Speaker 1: great change to see. So when I got that award,
- 25:57Speaker 1: you know, my determination is to keep on, uh not
- 26:01Speaker 1: not just opening the doors, but just removing the hinges
- 26:04Speaker 1: so that more people can come through. Well, David, thank
- 26:06Speaker 1: you for coming on my show man. The movie will

- 28:26Speaker 1: Ever Ate. You know, everybody knows I am a food
- 28:30Speaker 1: enh and food In fact, I went to this new
- 28:33Speaker 1: Brazilian restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia last night, you know, for
- 28:37Speaker 1: the child usually where I go. I got a new
- 28:38Speaker 1: one and got a new one and I went to

- 28:42Speaker 1: and eight top top top top cop got it done.
- 28:46Speaker 1: He's an entrepreneur with products on the shelves and whole
- 28:48Speaker 1: food stores. Please welcome to money making conversation. My man,
- 28:52Speaker 1: Chef Ginnard Wells. Hello, how you doing? Hey chef? You
- 28:58Speaker 1: know if we all, I love talk to che because
- 29:00Speaker 1: basically talk a lot. You know. He called me for
- 29:03Speaker 1: a little advice here and that he don't listen to
- 29:04Speaker 1: my advice, but he called. He called. You'll be amazed,
- 29:10Speaker 1: you know, because see he has this, he has this
- 29:12Speaker 1: little he has a little quality. He is that what else?
- 29:16Speaker 1: See he also he listened to advice, but he's also
- 29:19Speaker 1: listened to that what else? The possibilities? And you know,
- 29:23Speaker 1: I'm straight, don't do it? But Rashawn, what else after that?
- 29:29Speaker 1: I can't talk to you know, but you operating off
- 29:31Speaker 1: what if? But he's a man, so he comes to
- 29:33Speaker 1: me all time. Respect that, but you know that I'm
- 29:35Speaker 1: gonna give an answer that allows him to think about
- 29:37Speaker 1: the process. And that's why our relationship work because I
- 29:40Speaker 1: don't want you to be What Roshan says is the truth.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Rashan is just getting your information. That's that's based on truth.
- 29:47Speaker 1: But then again, you have to make a decision based
- 29:49Speaker 1: on what you feel you can an achieve. Sometimes you
- 29:52Speaker 1: gotta walk out there if you walk out there and
- 29:54Speaker 1: it's successful. He guess what, Rashaan gave me a thought
- 29:58Speaker 1: process that made me think of little bit different on
- 30:01Speaker 1: how I should approach this, And that's why our relationship
- 30:03Speaker 1: get along. We listen to my show, I'm just giving
- 30:06Speaker 1: you nuggets. You know, because you walk a different path,
- 30:10Speaker 1: you get up on the different side of the bed,
- 30:12Speaker 1: and it's a different time zone. You may be listening
- 30:14Speaker 1: to this show. So what I'm saying may work differently
- 30:20Speaker 1: if you approach it differently. So that's why Cheff and
- 30:22Speaker 1: I get along. Yep, And I have to make you
- 30:25Speaker 1: know your the the information and knowledge that you continue
- 30:29Speaker 1: in stealing me. You know it is so it is
- 30:32Speaker 1: so valuable. And what it does is it allows me
- 30:37Speaker 1: to truly step back, and that's I do step as
- 30:40Speaker 1: they say, how can you learn how to walk on
- 30:42Speaker 1: water by getting out of the boat. But what your
- 30:45Speaker 1: knowledge does is it helps me on how to approach
- 30:49Speaker 1: the situation and how to handle it. You know, what
- 30:54Speaker 1: you do is you help me put my guards up
- 30:56Speaker 1: when I'm walking into a place where normally if I'm
- 30:58Speaker 1: walking in defenseless and don't know what to expect, you're
- 31:02Speaker 1: the voice to read me. That helped me see things
- 31:05Speaker 1: and know how to operate in different perspectives and which
- 31:09Speaker 1: is is very key and beneficial and doing any kind
- 31:13Speaker 1: of business because a lot of people walk into platforms
- 31:16Speaker 1: are doing business and they have no idea of what
- 31:20Speaker 1: they're walking into. But when you have somebody like a
- 31:23Speaker 1: Rasha McDonald in your corner to help you walk in
- 31:26Speaker 1: with your eyes wide wide open instead of wide shut,
- 31:30Speaker 1: it helps you on how to better handle people, how
- 31:33Speaker 1: to navigate, and how to pretty much maneuver from all
- 31:37Speaker 1: the cooks and turns. You know, everybody don't have a
- 31:39Speaker 1: Rasha McDonald cheeko like I do. But I'm truly thankful
- 31:42Speaker 1: to how you in my life. Now let's talk about
- 31:44Speaker 1: this food, because you know he was talking to me about.
- 31:47Speaker 1: First of all, the show called Best Thing I Ever
- 31:50Speaker 1: Ate on the Cooking Channel. Tell them exactly what that
- 31:52Speaker 1: is before we start talking about the different places that
- 31:54Speaker 1: you went. Noet The Best Things That Ever comes on
- 31:59Speaker 1: every Monday night ninetm Eastern times. The show is about
- 32:04Speaker 1: every every person that's the co host in the show,
- 32:08Speaker 1: we go through our dialogues of everywhere that we've eaten
- 32:11Speaker 1: around the country. Some of the best food that resonates
- 32:15Speaker 1: with us and and typically may be themed around and said,
- 32:18Speaker 1: it may be something as simple as layers. When you
- 32:21Speaker 1: hear layers, what do you think of you think of
- 32:24Speaker 1: the best layer of lazagna, or do you think of
- 32:27Speaker 1: the best layer red delvy cake? You know, all the
- 32:30Speaker 1: best layer biscuit. And based off of those things is
- 32:34Speaker 1: how we go and pull from deep down inside some
- 32:36Speaker 1: of the best restaurants that we've eaten that and we
- 32:39Speaker 1: highlight those restaurants and we share with the world our experience.
- 32:45Speaker 1: And then the other fun part about it is the
- 32:47Speaker 1: chef in that restaurant actually opened those doors and allow
- 32:51Speaker 1: the viewers to get a glimpse into the world of
- 32:54Speaker 1: what it takes to prepare and create that dish, and
- 32:57Speaker 1: then we break it down verbe and what it's like,
- 33:00Speaker 1: and hopefully we encourage others to go out and and
- 33:03Speaker 1: think about the best thing that they ever hate to
- 33:05Speaker 1: seek out the best thing that they've ever amazing show.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I'm going into my actual third season Wolf the Show.
- 33:13Speaker 1: I'm truly excited about that, co hosting alone with some
- 33:18Speaker 1: various steamships out there from Wolfgang called Marcas Stewart, the Sawyer,
- 33:24Speaker 1: uh it's so it's so many of them, but it's
- 33:26Speaker 1: it's truly an amazing journey and it's you know, and
- 33:30Speaker 1: it's about paying off chi. Let's talk about the food. Now,
- 33:34Speaker 1: what I got all that Wolf game punk? I ate
- 33:37Speaker 1: at this place the other day. Okay, let's talk about
- 33:39Speaker 1: the food. Now, what place really really? And yeah, it's
- 33:46Speaker 1: please speaking suckulent terms when you talk about this food. Yeah,

- 36:14Speaker 1: did you recommend now, Chicago up that? But I just
- 36:16Speaker 1: went on the website to the Atlanta Breakfast Club and
- 36:19Speaker 1: that chicken and bacon. I got to get there. And
- 36:24Speaker 1: then my main man, my producers on the show, Sam,
- 36:26Speaker 1: he's been there. He was like talking about the peach
- 36:28Speaker 1: cobbler putting on top of the chicken and all that stuff.
- 36:32Speaker 1: So so, but I got a place up in up
- 36:34Speaker 1: in Chicago called Batter and Berries, which is all stand.
- 36:38Speaker 1: They're they're amazing up there. So so we got a
- 36:41Speaker 1: Labor Day, So everybody wants to eat right on Labor
- 36:45Speaker 1: Day gumbo by b Q fried chicken. What do you
- 36:51Speaker 1: recommend as a as a good family meal when the
- 36:54Speaker 1: family gets together, you know, doing these Labor day periods
- 36:58Speaker 1: of Martha September before get into that chicken time frame
- 37:02Speaker 1: that the turkey's time frame in November. Talk to us,
- 37:08Speaker 1: check you're sucking and again you know how you had
- 37:10Speaker 1: you had me inspired, had me want to go find
- 37:13Speaker 1: a knife and fall, give me that that stage. Get yeah, Now, hey,
- 37:18Speaker 1: when we when we're kicking out labor that you can't
- 37:20Speaker 1: kick it out without having some form, without having something
- 37:24Speaker 1: from over rib on them. And what I what I
- 37:27Speaker 1: always suggested a nice grade brown sugar preak, a rubed
- 37:31Speaker 1: rib and you put on the grill or if you
- 37:34Speaker 1: shortcut it, you can put it in the oven. As
- 37:36Speaker 1: a matter of fact, we did and we deal with
- 37:39Speaker 1: our cooking segments that we do together every Saturday, Rashaan,
- 37:43Speaker 1: we did an apple glaze baked rib that's perfect for
- 37:48Speaker 1: the Labor Day holiday season. It up. Throw you some
- 37:51Speaker 1: fresh feedia or Granny Smith apples in their wrapping and
- 37:55Speaker 1: four baking in the oven on three hundred and fifty
- 37:57Speaker 1: degrees forty five minutes, you have perfect fall off the bone.
- 38:02Speaker 1: But now if you're not, if you're not a pork
- 38:04Speaker 1: lover and you want to go on that more light
- 38:06Speaker 1: aside for us and chicken, I always suggest the dr
- 38:11Speaker 1: pepper smoked chicken take that whole Friday. Or you can
- 38:16Speaker 1: take your your thighs and legs, marinate them with some
- 38:20Speaker 1: dr pepper, the salt black pepper. Throw you some fresh
- 38:24Speaker 1: rose marry and time in there. Let it marinate for
- 38:27Speaker 1: twenty four hours, and when you get up early the
- 38:30Speaker 1: next morning, or your charcoals or your lump or your
- 38:34Speaker 1: or your hickory wood on the grill and just let
- 38:36Speaker 1: it smokers. How that dr pepper that is set in
- 38:39Speaker 1: all night starts to caramelize over the top of it,
- 38:43Speaker 1: gives it a nice to sweet flavor. On the inside
- 38:46Speaker 1: of it, that rose marry and time that is set
- 38:48Speaker 1: in gives it a great earth tone flavor. And it
- 38:52Speaker 1: also makes sure it makes it maintains the juice and
- 38:55Speaker 1: the and the moistness of it. So when you let
- 38:58Speaker 1: that out, when you set that out on your table,
- 39:00Speaker 1: you're good to go. But you already know you gotta
- 39:03Speaker 1: have them side and can't Nobody had no side without that.
- 39:08Speaker 1: That the turkey legs baked beans. And what I say
- 39:11Speaker 1: is you take your turkey, them smoked turkey legs that
- 39:14Speaker 1: you're getting their phone off the bone. You start off
- 39:17Speaker 1: that base and making those baked beans and you know
- 39:19Speaker 1: you can do a good tomato base. If you don't,
- 39:22Speaker 1: if you don't, grab baked beans out the can. But
- 39:25Speaker 1: get your nice good tomato base to some molasses. That's
- 39:29Speaker 1: the key, molasses tomato salce. Then you fold in either
- 39:33Speaker 1: your kidney beans or your pork and beans, whichever ones
- 39:37Speaker 1: you want in with it with those smoked turkey legs,
- 39:40Speaker 1: and let those baked beans just simmer. Now, see you
- 39:44Speaker 1: you have you have some people hurting themself when they
- 39:46Speaker 1: come to your house. And we got that potato salad.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Now it's always a battle. Which one do you want?
- 39:52Speaker 1: Do you want mustard basic? Do you want mayobay? Exactly me? Hey,
- 39:58Speaker 1: when it comes that mail, babe, I always like blending
- 40:02Speaker 1: in a little sweet relish with it smoked from pre
- 40:05Speaker 1: ky in with it. And then what I do when
- 40:07Speaker 1: I boil my eggs, take that center out and make
- 40:11Speaker 1: the make it almost in the form of a deviled
- 40:14Speaker 1: eggs style when you blend in the end. And then
- 40:17Speaker 1: the key for your potatoes are you come go see
- 40:21Speaker 1: a lot of people grab them rushes. We see you
- 40:24Speaker 1: want them. You can go potatoes because those you can
- 40:27Speaker 1: go potatoes have a natural buttery flavor. To them already,
- 40:32Speaker 1: just the way they're grown. It just tastes amazing. So
- 40:34Speaker 1: when you mash those up with those eggs, that male,
- 40:39Speaker 1: you gotta win on your hands. And now when it
- 40:42Speaker 1: comes to dessert, when it comes to dessert, ain't even
- 40:46Speaker 1: fick the dessert because I'm calling Rashad McDonald and you
- 40:49Speaker 1: got to dem me a couple of them. My man,

- 43:09Speaker 1: So I've been waiting on this right here, Thank you
- 43:12Speaker 1: very much. I try, you know, I try to look look,
- 43:15Speaker 1: look comfortable. Right here. I have a power couple in
- 43:18Speaker 1: here in the house that are the founders of Pro
- 43:20Speaker 1: Black Health is a black owned vitamin company on a
- 43:23Speaker 1: mission to make the Black community healthier. Profits from vitamins
- 43:27Speaker 1: sales go to nonprofits and initiatives that focus on health
- 43:30Speaker 1: and healing in the black community. Please welcome to the
- 43:33Speaker 1: money making conversation, Collina, Yes McDaniel and husband Darien. He
- 43:41Speaker 1: got good voice too, you know, blow my little my
- 43:44Speaker 1: little taxi voice. Await, well, welcome, welcome, thank you, thank you. Great. Uh.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about health in the black community. Let's
- 43:54Speaker 1: do that first, because we are notorious for eating what
- 43:58Speaker 1: we want, ignoring the consequences of what we eat and
- 44:03Speaker 1: from okay, is not working? Okay? What's not working? Okay? Cool?
- 44:10Speaker 1: We go And so how how did that become a mission?
- 44:14Speaker 1: It became a mission for me in particular. So I'm
- 44:17Speaker 1: a general surgeon by training, but I specialize in weight
- 44:20Speaker 1: loss surgery bariatric surgery. So I see a lot of
- 44:23Speaker 1: patients who are kind of back the extreme of their
- 44:25Speaker 1: health based on their diet and lifestyle in general. Um.
- 44:29Speaker 1: And I'm seeing younger and younger patients or twenties, thirties,
- 44:32Speaker 1: forties with really debilitating disease. Um. But even through the
- 44:36Speaker 1: emergency room, I see a lot of young people with
- 44:38Speaker 1: really bad diabetes who are not diagnosed. And what I'm
- 44:41Speaker 1: finding is that a key component to the fact that
- 44:45Speaker 1: not only do we not eat well, um, but we
- 44:47Speaker 1: are not taught the importance of preventative care. So regular checkups,
- 44:51Speaker 1: basic eating habits, um. And it all goes down to
- 44:54Speaker 1: the foundation of health awareness and education. I think kind
- 44:58Speaker 1: of to start the discussion on taking you of yourself
- 45:00Speaker 1: in an everyday basis better than what we're taught to Okay,
- 45:04Speaker 1: So what is the messages? What is not eating well?
- 45:07Speaker 1: What does that? I hit that a lot what is
- 45:09Speaker 1: that perfect? So it's uh, depending on who you talked to.
- 45:13Speaker 1: Not eating well has different parameters, but in general, our
- 45:18Speaker 1: foods are overprocessed, they're full of preservatives, too much fat,
- 45:21Speaker 1: too many carbs. We can't afford fresh vegetables and fresh meats. Um,
- 45:26Speaker 1: So a lot of it is eating things that have
- 45:28Speaker 1: to stay on the shelf. It's in the packages in
- 45:30Speaker 1: a can which has the calories, but is devoid of nutrition.
- 45:34Speaker 1: It doesn't have the vitamins that it needs to feed
- 45:36Speaker 1: ourselves to keep us healthy. So your entrepreneurs this whole
- 45:42Speaker 1: are this whole business concept? How did they come about? Well, Um,
- 45:46Speaker 1: we got married about a year ago and as a couple,
- 45:50Speaker 1: we wanted to Okay, okay, you say that, but like
- 45:53Speaker 1: that was part of the business. It was part of
- 45:55Speaker 1: the bus because as a couple we were going to
- 45:58Speaker 1: not only love ourselves but try to get back to
- 46:01Speaker 1: our community and that was kind of a mission of
- 46:04Speaker 1: our our own, and um, we want to just find
- 46:07Speaker 1: a way to do that. So we started Pro Black
- 46:09Speaker 1: Health to kind of try to get back to the community.
- 46:12Speaker 1: But we found that we need a lot of resources.
- 46:14Speaker 1: There's a lot of nonprofits and initiatives already that need resources. So, UM,
- 46:19Speaker 1: I was actually watching a shark tank show and um
- 46:23Speaker 1: it was a company that sold beach towels and each
- 46:25Speaker 1: one you bought helped clean up the ocean for marine life.
- 46:29Speaker 1: And I was like, if we can do that for fish,
- 46:30Speaker 1: we could do that for black lives. Right. And so
- 46:34Speaker 1: my wife told me that of African Americans a vitamin deficient.
- 46:37Speaker 1: So I said, well, let's come up with something with
- 46:39Speaker 1: a vitamin company and then allow people to invest in
- 46:42Speaker 1: their health and also invest in their health. What is
- 46:45Speaker 1: what is vitamin deficiency? What is that? So there's a
- 46:48Speaker 1: vitamin inadequacy and there's vitamin deficiency. UM. Vitamin deficiency means
- 46:54Speaker 1: that your vitamin levels in your blood are so low
- 46:57Speaker 1: that you have a higher chance of not functioning to
- 47:01Speaker 1: your optimal potential UM, higher chance of getting a chronic
- 47:04Speaker 1: disease cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure. Then there's vitamin and
- 47:08Speaker 1: adequacy where you don't feel bad. But if you're an
- 47:12Speaker 1: adequate long enough and your levels keep going down that
- 47:15Speaker 1: gas in the gas tank, you'll be you will you
- 47:17Speaker 1: will stop running and go into deficiency mode. So we're
- 47:20Speaker 1: not running at our peak potential. Now, the thing about
- 47:24Speaker 1: it when I hear these different cars, the thing about
- 47:26Speaker 1: pro black and then people who just naturally eat what
- 47:30Speaker 1: they want to eat, don't care. Does every run into
- 47:33Speaker 1: the difficultures in the in the vision that you're trying
- 47:36Speaker 1: to put in place. Yeah, and that's where we went
- 47:39Speaker 1: without Pro Black Health because it means promoting health in
- 47:42Speaker 1: the black community. And so we're trying to change the
- 47:45Speaker 1: mindset and change the narrative and kind of make it
- 47:48Speaker 1: cool to be healthy and one of our slogans as
- 47:51Speaker 1: healthy as the New Ridge and um. And so we
- 47:54Speaker 1: did pro Black Health to kind of instill that pride
- 47:57Speaker 1: and doing it and pride in our health and hoping
- 47:59Speaker 1: that mission and that along with the vitamins take us
- 48:02Speaker 1: to the next level of vitamins are just a vehicle
- 48:05Speaker 1: to get people to think healthier and to help other
- 48:08Speaker 1: nonprofitsied initiatives promote health. So, you know, ain't the word healthy.
- 48:13Speaker 1: People kind of run from that, you know, because you
- 48:16Speaker 1: know that that sounds medical. I'm just talking really, you know,
- 48:20Speaker 1: because you know, I like people promote healthy food, you know,
- 48:22Speaker 1: and they're talking about calorie that they come up with
- 48:25Speaker 1: a little trick team trick words to get people health
- 48:29Speaker 1: means this, you know, and but you're selling the same products.
- 48:31Speaker 1: So I always know that when you say the word
- 48:33Speaker 1: healthy people, Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. Oh,
- 48:38Speaker 1: I keep you these uh these childlings over here keeping
- 48:41Speaker 1: this fried chicken is deep greased. You know it tastes
- 48:44Speaker 1: good to me. I don't know what you're talking about,
- 48:45Speaker 1: vitamin deficiency. I get up on time every day, but
- 48:48Speaker 1: you don't notice that. You you keep slowing down the
- 48:50Speaker 1: try in your body. And then that education I'm asking you,
- 48:55Speaker 1: the education part of this whole relationship is even more
- 48:57Speaker 1: important than actually getting people to tell to buy them
- 49:00Speaker 1: or healthy correct correct correct um. And that's why we
- 49:05Speaker 1: also have an apparel side to the brands UM with
- 49:10Speaker 1: slogans that just say pro black or pro black health
- 49:13Speaker 1: UM or healthy is the new Rich. Because I can't
- 49:19Speaker 1: promise you that these vitamins are going to do anything
- 49:22Speaker 1: exhormably different than any other healthy routine that you would do.
- 49:25Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna beat you over the head and
- 49:27Speaker 1: say this is the only way to go. I just
- 49:29Speaker 1: want you to be in the mindset of your health
- 49:33Speaker 1: is your greatest asset. Right. So Steve Jobs, on his
- 49:37Speaker 1: deathbed would have given every penny away to be healthy again. Um, So,
- 49:41Speaker 1: whichever way you decide to do it, whether it's you
- 49:44Speaker 1: exercise more or change your diet or put out soda,
- 49:48Speaker 1: we want to promote individual health because the big picture
- 49:52Speaker 1: is we're living in a time where we are unhappy
- 49:54Speaker 1: with the state of that's the African American community in
- 49:57Speaker 1: general politically. But how do you fight the good fight?
- 50:01Speaker 1: How do you push your agenda or propel what we
- 50:03Speaker 1: want to change if individually we're not healthy enough to
- 50:06Speaker 1: do so. Right, So when you're one year ago marriage, right, Okay,
- 50:11Speaker 1: so you launched the business. You know he's talking about
- 50:14Speaker 1: this relationship about business. You know, you're talking about love.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Over here, they're about business. But I'm with you. Though
- 50:19Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm not managing a contract that marriage
- 50:24Speaker 1: where it ties in real quick. She had a plan
- 50:27Speaker 1: here we um we talked about should we have kids
- 50:32Speaker 1: or should we not have kids. There's a good chance
- 50:34Speaker 1: that we're not the kid couple. But he's always felt like,
- 50:40Speaker 1: when I leave here, what am I going to leave behind?
- 50:43Speaker 1: So if you have children, your children can take your legacy.
- 50:46Speaker 1: So the business pro Black health is our legacy. So
- 50:49Speaker 1: it's not a physical baby. But we want this to
- 50:52Speaker 1: be here after we're gone, to still make a change,
- 50:55Speaker 1: to still make a difference. Well, you're making a difference.
- 50:57Speaker 1: That the issue I have, it's not really an issue
- 51:00Speaker 1: like who wants to listen, because that's the hard part
- 51:03Speaker 1: of changing. So let's let's talk about different age groups,
- 51:06Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, the under eighteen and the millennial age
- 51:10Speaker 1: of eighteen and thirty four, and then at thirty four,
- 51:13Speaker 1: thirty four to fifty, because over fifty people think real different,
- 51:17Speaker 1: they actually want to live longer. They're they're they're the
- 51:19Speaker 1: listeners to the vitam they're the listeners now, and so
- 51:24Speaker 1: so talk about those different age groups to post fifty
- 51:27Speaker 1: people versus the people under fifty, Well I could go
- 51:31Speaker 1: with under fifty. Um. That's why we went with really
- 51:35Speaker 1: cool names and colors on our vitamins. Um bright. If
- 51:39Speaker 1: you go to our social media pages, it is about
- 51:41Speaker 1: being bright and cool and out going and um Like.
- 51:44Speaker 1: One of the names is called King Essentials, it's brightens
- 51:47Speaker 1: blue and it's fun. My multi vitamin for women it's
- 51:51Speaker 1: called Queen Essentials, and it's just a good colorful bright
- 51:55Speaker 1: So making it cool to be healthy, not just your
- 51:58Speaker 1: plain white vitamin bottom also for the kids, got young royalty,
- 52:02Speaker 1: so when it's still in that young royalty into your
