Welcome to the Bay.

Speaker A:

Hey, thank you.

Speaker A:

Appreciate it.

Speaker B:

So we're so excited that my girl came to check in with Dr. Stamps, the one and only.

Speaker B:

And I just, honestly, honestly, I brought her on the show like I was explaining tour to be more of a role model and speak positivity into my foster youth.

Speaker B:

This ain't about that reality.

Speaker B:

I don't give a about none of that.

Speaker B:

Shout out Natalie.

Speaker B:

Now all you let me all y'.

Speaker A:

All.

Speaker B:

But at the end of the day, we don't care about none of that.

Speaker B:

This real.

Speaker B:

And Ms. Sedania, I said it right Person Sidani.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Edit that.

Speaker A:

It's okay.

Speaker B:

But I was.

Speaker B:

I worked on it.

Speaker B:

I tried my best.

Speaker B:

So anyway, I.

Speaker B:

The number one thing that you said, that stuck with me, as y' all can see.

Speaker B:

Shout out from my hoe to CEO.

Speaker B:

You made it in rap, but you got it from the track.

Speaker B:

Let's talk about it.

Speaker B:

That was the best statement that you made that I said, I gotta get this bitch on the show now.

Speaker B:

Get her Bay Area stars.

Speaker B:

And I just really wanted to hear your story, you know, I looked you up.

Speaker B:

Gemini.

Speaker B:

My girl fucks with the Geminis, you know, young lady, 33, from New York, right?

Speaker B:

Born, born and raised.

Speaker A:

But no, no, not raised.

Speaker B:

Just born, born, not raised.

Speaker A:

Raised in Florida South.

Speaker B:

Raised in Florida.

Speaker B:

South Florida.

Speaker B:

But you started in the industry of stripping, right?

Speaker B:

What got you in that industry?

Speaker B:

Like, how did it start?

Speaker A:

And you know what's so funny too, let me just say this, cuz that post I made and like every now and then, I always like to start still pull something from that of my era.

Speaker A:

Because a lot of people, I don't know, maybe they don't know.

Speaker B:

They don't get it.

Speaker A:

And I'd be like, sometimes okay, one time, just random story.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker A:

I went to a strip club as a host.

Speaker A:

They booked me and you know, I was talking to the girls.

Speaker A:

I'm like, you know, I used to be a stripper too.

Speaker A:

They like, girl, stop lying.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker A:

Like, I'm just like, wow.

Speaker A:

But that.

Speaker A:

It was a good.

Speaker A:

It was a good and bad moment at the same time.

Speaker A:

It was like a moment where I felt like I made it so much and something else that people don't even know me from.

Speaker B:

That.

Speaker A:

That was great.

Speaker A:

But then it also was like, no, I want People to know where I came from, period.

Speaker B:

You have to.

Speaker A:

I never would nobody forget.

Speaker A:

Don't ever think I just.

Speaker A:

Just woke up.

Speaker A:

No, no.

Speaker A:

I was hustling for a long time.

Speaker B:

How was that lifestyle like, Cuz for me, coming from a hoe to a CEO, everybody assumed a hoe in a stripper.

Speaker B:

And let's just be real that we suck everything.

Speaker B:

Me personally, I was robbing.

Speaker B:

That's just me.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker B:

Let's just keep it 100.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

When I first started, I might have been sucking it, but when I got in the game.

Speaker B:

And you get accustomed to that money coming in as fast.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

How did that work for you?

Speaker B:

Like, you know what I mean?

Speaker A:

So I started dancing young.

Speaker B:

How old were you?

Speaker A:

Sixteen.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

And my mom left me.

Speaker A:

It was a situation where I feel like we was so grown and just doing our own thing.

Speaker A:

And she kind of was just like, you know, y' all figure it out.

Speaker A:

Let me go figure it out.

Speaker A:

And another thing too, in her culture, her mom, like, left her when she was that age.

Speaker A:

So it was kind of like, okay, you 16 now you can generation in her eyes in the Jamaican world, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

She came to.

Speaker A:

To America when she was like 15 on her own, and she had to figure it out.

Speaker A:

So now it's like, okay, I did what I had to do for you to this age, and now you got to figure it out.

Speaker B:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Just because she probably didn't know, you know, when some generational trauma, it.

Speaker B:

It trinkles down.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

So her mind, you grown girl, you

Speaker B:

got a good relationship with your mom.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I love that.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I love that.

Speaker A:

I love my mom.

Speaker B:

I love that a lot of people

Speaker A:

don't do that, realize that she was doing her best and what she knew how to do.

Speaker A:

It's like she might not have did the best, but how she didn't have nothing to draw from.

Speaker A:

So she was just doing what she knew, facts.

Speaker A:

So I couldn't be mad at her.

Speaker A:

And yeah, we're great now.

Speaker B:

I appreciate that.

Speaker B:

Because a lot of young girls, even a lot of the foster youth that I deal with, and including myself, like, we've had trauma, right.

Speaker B:

In situations where we felt like our parents left us and they wouldn't.

Speaker B:

But a lot of people don't look at what did our parents.

Speaker B:

Parents go through.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

They don't give us hugs.

Speaker B:

And because they wasn't hugged, how do you expect that?

Speaker B:

Right?

Speaker B:

So I respect you for still respecting your mother.

Speaker B:

A lot of kids these days, including myself, I've been there where I'm mad, right?

Speaker B:

I'm angry because I'm like, where are you?

Speaker A:

And I've been there, too.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I hated my mom for a long time.

Speaker B:

Me too.

Speaker B:

Me too.

Speaker A:

Then as I grew up and I realized how hard life is, I'm like, oh, my God.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

You were dealing with this plus three.

Speaker A:

And I don't even got kids.

Speaker B:

You got siblings?

Speaker B:

How many siblings?

Speaker A:

I have.

Speaker A:

My mom has five kids.

Speaker B:

Got it.

Speaker A:

So I'm like, if life is this hard for me at, like, 21, 22.

Speaker B:

With no kids.

Speaker A:

With no kids.

Speaker A:

I'm just thinking like, damn, I won't have to do this with three kids.

Speaker A:

With four kids.

Speaker A:

With.

Speaker A:

Trying to.

Speaker A:

With.

Speaker A:

And she wasn't stripping.

Speaker A:

She wasn't making nowhere near the money I was making.

Speaker A:

I'm like, I'm making all this money.

Speaker A:

I'm still struggling.

Speaker B:

No facts.

Speaker A:

So I'm like, you know what?

Speaker A:

Damn, life is actually really hard.

Speaker B:

It is.

Speaker A:

And she really wasn't just saying, like.

Speaker A:

Sometimes she'll say like, I don't have the money.

Speaker A:

And I'm like, you got money, right?

Speaker A:

There is in your purse.

Speaker B:

You got some shoes.

Speaker B:

Yeah, but.

Speaker A:

But now when I think it's time, I. I don't got no money.

Speaker A:

Like, I might have.

Speaker A:

I don't have no.

Speaker A:

So I get it.

Speaker A:

It's like everything that I was seeing that I was just like, oh, why she do this?

Speaker A:

Why she work all the time?

Speaker A:

She was at work.

Speaker A:

She don't have time for us.

Speaker B:

You get it now?

Speaker B:

I'm always at work, man.

Speaker B:

And I.

Speaker B:

Hey, that's.

Speaker B:

Honestly, that's why I needed you here.

Speaker A:

Cuz I know that seven days a week.

Speaker B:

I love.

Speaker B:

But I love that about you.

Speaker B:

You a hustler.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker A:

I get it.

Speaker A:

So I had to stop being mad.

Speaker A:

Like, you know what?

Speaker A:

I was mad.

Speaker A:

But now I understand.

Speaker A:

Being an adult and living life, you just understand things.

Speaker A:

And I'm like, oh, shit, you know what?

Speaker B:

Life be lifein'.

Speaker A:

You weren't bad.

Speaker A:

You was just trying to make it in fucking America.

Speaker B:

And I get that.

Speaker B:

And in my mind, what do you think?

Speaker B:

Like, even though your mom went through the struggles and you made it out, I say you made it out.

Speaker B:

Me, personally, hello.

Speaker B:

You made it out, period.

Speaker A:

Clap for that club.

Speaker A:

Made it out.

Speaker A:

Definitely made it out.

Speaker B:

What do you call turning a hustle into a legacy?

Speaker B:

Because to me, I'm an outsider watching you on the screen.

Speaker B:

And you know all the people that ain't on the screen, like, oh, my God, I want to be famous.

Speaker B:

What is that life, like, know it's different.

Speaker B:

And my mom like, bitch, I want to be famous too.

Speaker B:

But I'm like, no, I really don't want that.

Speaker B:

I'm more discreet.

Speaker B:

But in my mind, it's a different life.

Speaker B:

You can't go nowhere and be regular.

Speaker B:

What is that like?

Speaker B:

Because everywhere you go, there's pictures there.

Speaker B:

Pop.

Speaker B:

What is that like?

Speaker B:

Like, explain that to the young girls that want to be famous.

Speaker B:

What's the pros and the cons to that?

Speaker A:

So I would say, for one, a lot of people, and I tell this to a lot of people, I said, there's a difference between being rich and famous.

Speaker A:

People don't understand that.

Speaker A:

They think when you're famous, you're rich.

Speaker A:

That's not true at all.

Speaker A:

And if you're just looking for a way to get rich, it's a lot more ways to get rich besides getting famous.

Speaker A:

And then, you know, if it's not something that you genuinely love is.

Speaker A:

If you don't like people, if you don't like people in your business, if you don't like, you know, if you're a private person, like, no.

Speaker A:

And it's so crazy because you will be surprised how many girls will go even on baddies or just do or music or whatever, because they just want the money.

Speaker B:

They want the money.

Speaker A:

But then now you hate your life because you're miserable, because you actually hate people.

Speaker A:

You hate going to podcasts.

Speaker A:

You hate showing up to events.

Speaker A:

You hate hugging your fans.

Speaker A:

Now the fans don't like you because they like, oh, she's mean to her fans.

Speaker B:

Damn, they gonna whoop your ass.

Speaker B:

They see you in certain areas.

Speaker B:

Like, you know, so it's like, will

Speaker A:

always tell people if this is not something that you genuinely enjoy.

Speaker A:

If you don't like people, if you don't like.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker B:

The being in the limelight.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Just.

Speaker A:

It's other ways to make money.

Speaker B:

It is.

Speaker B:

It's a million ways.

Speaker A:

Million and a trillion, trillion ways to make.

Speaker A:

Nobody don't know your business.

Speaker A:

Nobody don't know who you.

Speaker A:

Nobody know how basketball.

Speaker A:

I can't go nowhere.

Speaker A:

I can't go to a restaurant.

Speaker A:

Everybody just know who the I am and who I'm with.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

But that's the life I chose.

Speaker A:

And I'm okay with it.

Speaker B:

And it's okay.

Speaker A:

I genuinely like that stuff.

Speaker B:

And you fit you for the cam.

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

I be seeing you, and you don't miss a beat.

Speaker B:

Your ass be at every thing in a lot of girls.

Speaker B:

I noticed that.

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

But that's another thing where I was like, I gotta get her.

Speaker A:

And I want to say I'm making mess with my makeup.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker A:

Because, you know, for what you're doing for these girls.

Speaker A:

And so when I was.

Speaker A:

When my mom left and I didn't have, you know, any guidance, that's when I went to the club.

Speaker B:

That's when I went.

Speaker A:

And I didn't know what else to do.

Speaker B:

Me neither.

Speaker A:

And I just thought that was the only option.

Speaker A:

Same now looking back, was it my only option?

Speaker A:

I didn't even really try nothing else.

Speaker A:

For real, this looked like it's easy money.

Speaker A:

Let's just hold this money.

Speaker B:

The easiest mom finna rob this.

Speaker B:

Get it.

Speaker A:

But you know, if I had someone maybe like you, a sister.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And I love that you doing this and I even want to do that.

Speaker A:

Like one of my end goals is to have a, you know, open a shelter for.

Speaker A:

I'm the girl.

Speaker B:

I'm the one.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

That's what I do.

Speaker A:

For that, I just want to say thank you and you're doing a great job and keep that going.

Speaker A:

Because, yeah, sometimes people just need somebody, some guidance, just somebody to let them know what it is, what is not.

Speaker A:

I feel, I'm.

Speaker A:

I feel like I made so much.

Speaker A:

I'm like, bro, if I just had

Speaker B:

somebody to just tell me, yeah, but

Speaker A:

it can't be anybody either.

Speaker B:

It can't.

Speaker B:

You gotta have a lived experiences.

Speaker B:

We was just talking about that.

Speaker A:

Have the experience.

Speaker B:

Gotta understand where I'm coming from.

Speaker A:

I want to hear it from John Jimmer Joe, you know, Ms. Mary is like, okay, Ms. Karen.

Speaker A:

A church, like you don't get it.

Speaker A:

No Tino Shade.

Speaker B:

No, it's facts.

Speaker A:

But when you come in, you say, hold to CEO and I feel like, damn, she know what she.

Speaker A:

Damn, she.

Speaker B:

That's what it is.

Speaker A:

I would feel more relatable to you and I will listen more to you because I'm like, okay, there's not no squares.

Speaker B:

She been in the streets.

Speaker B:

She know the streets.

Speaker A:

She know.

Speaker A:

And so we need more people that's role models like you to show like, yeah, you turned your hustle into a legacy.

Speaker A:

Facts and that, you know, this is not go.

Speaker A:

This is the way to go.

Speaker A:

Like, I did that.

Speaker A:

I've been there, done that.

Speaker A:

Babe, that's not it.

Speaker A:

Let's do this.

Speaker B:

Let's do this.

Speaker A:

So for that,

Speaker B:

thank you, sister, so much.

Speaker B:

It feels good to hear that sometimes.

Speaker B:

Cuz I think being in a small community just from the Bay, y'.

Speaker A:

All.

Speaker B:

Y' all know we different.

Speaker B:

Everybody that's from any other goddamn continent, country, state, anywhere, they be like, the Bay, we different.

Speaker A:

Like, y' all have your own.

Speaker B:

It's a whole little vibe, but it's.

Speaker B:

It's another end to it.

Speaker B:

I'll speak on it.

Speaker B:

I feel like sometimes, like you said, it's a bubble, you know, and it stays like that.

Speaker B:

But we gotta start thinking outside.

Speaker B:

And that's what I'm doing.

Speaker B:

Even setting the tone with this podcast, I need bosses in my shit.

Speaker B:

I'm not just setting, you know, a podcast just for to have.

Speaker B:

No, this is bigger than that.

Speaker B:

Little girls like her is gonna watch this be like, damn, Dr. Stance.

Speaker B:

I knew that bitch.

Speaker B:

She had my back and then she had DTB come on and talk to me.

Speaker B:

Oh, my.

Speaker B:

Like, people don't realize how big that is.

Speaker B:

The last young lady I had on here, her father, her biological father raped her.

Speaker B:

And she told her story and then she cried.

Speaker B:

I had the whole room crying.

Speaker B:

Well, technically, she had the whole room crying.

Speaker B:

These stories need to be heard.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

And I realized the business that I am in, I built this company myself.

Speaker B:

And this ain't to talk about me because the show is about you, but me coming from a literal, a real hoe stomping down.

Speaker B:

I'm talking about butt naked with glow up stilettos on bush in Frisco, okay?

Speaker B:

And having my own line of hoes to come in to this place now where I'm literally saving hoes.

Speaker B:

Now I'm saving hoes instead of pimping them.

Speaker B:

Lord, please, I don't want to go to hell.

Speaker B:

But it's just the truth.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

Your testimony, you got to speak it.

Speaker A:

But it sound testimony without a test.

Speaker B:

It sound bad, but it's the truth.

Speaker A:

It's the truth.

Speaker A:

Speak it.

Speaker A:

And look what you're doing now.

Speaker A:

You're, you're.

Speaker B:

I'm giving back and I'm making up.

Speaker B:

And I want to say you might

Speaker A:

have had to go to through that in order to have the mentality that you have now.

Speaker B:

Facts.

Speaker A:

Because if you didn't do it, you wouldn't even know you how to save a hoe.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

I wouldn't know how to save a ho.

Speaker B:

So I think even your story, like, you are more powerful than what you know.

Speaker B:

You know, you hold way more power than what you know.

Speaker B:

I know when you show up and all these girls, these.

Speaker B:

It's a lot of young girls that show up, right?

Speaker B:

And I know in my mind I'm not even a celebrity or famous or none of that, but when, like we do Bewick crash outs Every Monday at 7pm I let the girls come on there and they just crashed out.

Speaker B:

Talk about I don't give a, what is your baby daddy and kicked your door?

Speaker B:

We're here, I'm there every Monday, 7pm with my girls.

Speaker B:

I take the time out with my life because I realize my statue does hold this much clout and I'm like, oh, like I didn't realize it.

Speaker B:

So how is that for you when you realize, oh, I am that.

Speaker B:

Oh God, isn't it a difference?

Speaker A:

It's actually.

Speaker A:

It's weird though, like a bittersweet situation too.

Speaker B:

It is, it is.

Speaker A:

Because I be feeling like sometimes I'm promoting, you know, a lot of violence show.

Speaker B:

It's just money off.

Speaker B:

These young girls know that.

Speaker A:

But that's why I like to do podcasts because I feel like regardless of what you see me do or even what you hear on the music, it's like I want you to come and see me talk and know, you know what's right from wrong.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

What's reality from real?

Speaker A:

Because even reality people think reality TV is still not real life.

Speaker A:

No, it's not.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker A:

There is a difference.

Speaker A:

And another thing I want to say, you know, a lot of times people come from certain backgrounds, like the strip club, like a hoe.

Speaker A:

And then they get into a position to be successful, but they try to erase their past.

Speaker A:

They don't talk about it, nobody knows about it.

Speaker A:

So now it's like you just.

Speaker A:

And we need more examples of people making it out.

Speaker A:

Because there was a time, I remember like it was yesterday, I was like 20, I would say like 24.

Speaker A:

And I just had this revelation.

Speaker A:

I'm like, bro, what am I doing?

Speaker A:

Like, I just feel like I just get up every day, go to work, yeah, I'm making money, but this can't just be my life.

Speaker A:

Am I just about to do this forever?

Speaker A:

Facts and, but, and I had no example to pull from.

Speaker A:

Like I had nobody to look at and be like, okay, well she used to a stripper and she became this.

Speaker A:

Or she used to be a hoe and she became this.

Speaker A:

So I was just like stripping, trying to figure it out on my own.

Speaker A:

And that's another reason a lot of times I talk about it so much, because I want people to know.

Speaker A:

Like I want other strippers to know even.

Speaker A:

I just did an award show and I had the speech, in my speech I said, I dedicate this award to the strippers, period.

Speaker A:

Cuz I want them to know that if I could do it, you could do it too.

Speaker A:

You can do it.

Speaker A:

If I could.

Speaker A:

And not even just this, if I could do this, you could just do anything, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

Like you don't.

Speaker A:

It don't got to be a rapper, it don't gotta be a tv.

Speaker A:

So like you could just do whatever.

Speaker A:

Just know that that's not the end for you.

Speaker A:

Where you started, doesn't matter where you started.

Speaker A:

It's about really about how you finish.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

And I don't feel like we have enough examples of that.

Speaker A:

And that's why one thing, even with like Hari B, when she started making it, that was one of somebody I stuck to.

Speaker A:

Cuz I'm like, oh my God, she's

Speaker B:

a stripper that made it.

Speaker A:

Yeah, like, oh, like that was my first example of something out of nothing.

Speaker B:

That's a good example.

Speaker A:

It was great.

Speaker A:

It was the best example.

Speaker A:

I swear it gave me so much Clear.

Speaker A:

I'm like, bro, if she could do

Speaker B:

this, you could do it too.

Speaker A:

You can't tell me I can't do it.

Speaker B:

I love that.

Speaker B:

I actually love that because I. I actually try to think and say, well, damn, who did I admire?

Speaker B:

I had to.

Speaker B:

I don't even know still.

Speaker B:

I don't even know.

Speaker A:

You get what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

I admire people that we can draw from, especially in that lifestyle.

Speaker A:

It's like there's no example, like what to do afterwards.

Speaker A:

Nobody telling you what to do with your money, what to do, nothing.

Speaker B:

Especially if you ain't used to that type of money.

Speaker B:

You go through that like, girl, all that loot, all of them husband be like, I kill him if I knew him tomorrow.

Speaker B:

I ask you this, do you.

Speaker B:

Cuz I feel like at 43, I think I almost got a decade.

Speaker B:

I don't, I don't.

Speaker B:

I ain't going to say I look like it, but I. I mean, you

Speaker A:

know, I can say that I'm less than 43 years old.

Speaker A:

You look.

Speaker A:

You look amazing.

Speaker B:

Thank you, sister.

Speaker B:

But let me say, it took me until 40, 41 to find my purpose in life, which is saving young girls.

Speaker B:

And even.

Speaker B:

Not even just young girls, because I hate to say it because I got boys in my program too, but saving young adults that come from foster care.

Speaker B:

What is your purpose in life?

Speaker B:

Have you found that?

Speaker B:

Because you're still kind of young too.

Speaker A:

You're 33.

Speaker A:

And I feel like I found my purpose.

Speaker B:

Are you living in it?

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

I found my purpose when it came to music.

Speaker A:

And I must say.

Speaker A:

Okay, so I just want to say so before I started music, I had every hustle, I did everything I tried.

Speaker A:

I opened up a pole dancing studio.

Speaker B:

So that is true.

Speaker B:

I was going to ask you about that.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Because I was like, well, you know, I know how to do pole dancing.

Speaker A:

Let me try to do.

Speaker A:

I was just trying because I knew that I just got.

Speaker A:

Just didn't want to be a stripper forever.

Speaker A:

And I'm just like, okay, let me put this money somewhere and try something.

Speaker A:

Open up holding studio.

Speaker A:

I had a boutique.

Speaker A:

I had a cleaning service.

Speaker B:

Okay, enough.

Speaker A:

I had.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Serial entrepreneur.

Speaker A:

I went to college.

Speaker A:

I swear, I was like, I did.

Speaker A:

I was.

Speaker A:

And I was like, I like it.

Speaker A:

I need to figure something else out.

Speaker B:

With no guidance.

Speaker B:

She did all that.

Speaker A:

No guidance.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And that.

Speaker A:

I failed a lot of businesses.

Speaker A:

It's okay.

Speaker A:

Because I didn't know what I was doing.

Speaker A:

I'm just trying to.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

Same.

Speaker A:

So I'm like, okay, I'm in college and again.

Speaker A:

And I feel, like, another reason why I feel a lot of business, because I wasn't passionate about it.

Speaker A:

I was just trying to do something to try to do some money.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I really am not like, that much into clothes like that.

Speaker A:

Like, I like buying clothes.

Speaker B:

I can't tell.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Like, I like to wear it.

Speaker A:

But I wasn't like, I have friends that's like, oh.

Speaker A:

Like, I have a stylist.

Speaker A:

I don't even pick my clothes.

Speaker A:

I'll be like, just put on whatever.

Speaker A:

They'd be like, no, girl, you cannot wear that.

Speaker A:

You gotta put this on.

Speaker A:

You gotta know that don't match.

Speaker A:

I'll be like.

Speaker A:

Like, just pull whatever.

Speaker A:

Like, I don't care, I swear.

Speaker A:

But they keep me in check, you know?

Speaker B:

I believe it.

Speaker A:

So I'm not really into style like that.

Speaker A:

The pole thing, it really wasn't.

Speaker A:

I just knew that I. I liked attention.

Speaker A:

And that's Gemini.

Speaker A:

Even when I was a dancer, I was such a popular dancer.

Speaker B:

You wasn't.

Speaker B:

You said.

Speaker A:

I said I was.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

I was gonna say, what?

Speaker B:

No, you pop that ass low like that.

Speaker B:

I wish I could do that.

Speaker B:

I can't do that.

Speaker A:

I'm a popular dancer.

Speaker A:

And I realized I like the attention of the crowd.

Speaker A:

That's why I started learning the poetry.

Speaker A:

Because I'm like.

Speaker A:

I like when everybody's looking at me and everybody's.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

It was about the money, too.

Speaker B:

But I love the attention, and it's not always negative neither.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

It's like, people are just amazed to see me doing these tricks.

Speaker B:

That's your art, sis.

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker B:

That is a talent in a art.

Speaker B:

Believe that.

Speaker B:

Oh, I can.

Speaker A:

It's hard to learn.

Speaker B:

And you got pretty hands, too.

Speaker B:

You do your.

Speaker B:

See, you ain't even got the.

Speaker B:

From grabbing that pole.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that is a. I love the stripe.

Speaker A:

I have a claw on my feet, though.

Speaker A:

Ooh, real bad.

Speaker B:

That's okay, but you still bad.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

Continue on.

Speaker A:

Okay, so, yeah, so I was just looking for something that would fulfill my purpose.

Speaker A:

And I remember I made a song.

Speaker A:

I was in the club dancing.

Speaker A:

I was hearing a rap.

Speaker A:

Mind you, this is before Cardi B blew up.

Speaker A:

So there was not no female rappers at this time.

Speaker A:

Just like Nicki Minaj, you know, I'm in the club listening to the music, and the guys, they talk in, they show these and all this.

Speaker A:

I'm just like, bro, where is our music?

Speaker B:

Like, women get, like, no facts.

Speaker A:

Mind you, I'm from the South So I'm like, the Trina vibe is gone.

Speaker A:

Like, where is that?

Speaker A:

Like, like, yeah, like, where's this?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

So at first I was going to be a writer.

Speaker A:

That's what I initially planned to do.

Speaker A:

So I wrote a song for another female rapper and I was like, well, maybe if somebody wrapped this, you know, like, this is more I want to hear.

Speaker A:

I don't want to hear these talk about us.

Speaker A:

I want to hear us talk about them, period.

Speaker A:

So I let my friend here, I was like, friend, I'm gonna let somebody wrap this.

Speaker A:

And I wrapped it to her.

Speaker A:

She was like, girl, you need to be a rapper.

Speaker A:

And at first I swear I told her, I looked her right in her face.

Speaker A:

I, girl, stop fucking playing.

Speaker A:

I would never do that.

Speaker A:

Like, I just thought it was so cliche.

Speaker A:

I'm like, it was just.

Speaker A:

It didn't seem possible.

Speaker A:

I'm just like, girl, I'm not gonna be that.

Speaker A:

Like, it seemed possible.

Speaker A:

It didn't.

Speaker B:

Damn.

Speaker A:

It seems far fetched.

Speaker B:

Damn.

Speaker A:

It's like, you G me.

Speaker B:

What?

Speaker B:

And look at you now.

Speaker B:

Look at me now.

Speaker B:

That's actually dope as hell.

Speaker A:

But what it was was I tried it and she was like, let's just do it, like, for fun, like a joke, like, whatever.

Speaker A:

Just have fun.

Speaker A:

So I said, well, I like fun.

Speaker A:

I'll go do it for fun, whatever.

Speaker A:

Throw it on Instagram, like, you know, just playing around.

Speaker A:

And when the moment I went into the studio and ran on the microphone and rapped my verse.

Speaker B:

Fell in love with that shit.

Speaker B:

Fell in love with it.

Speaker B:

I'm a rapper.

Speaker A:

I'm a rapper.

Speaker A:

I swear I said that to her.

Speaker A:

I said, friend, I'm a rapper.

Speaker A:

You was right.

Speaker A:

I do need to do this.

Speaker A:

And then I just started thinking about everything that had come.

Speaker A:

Then I performed for the first time.

Speaker B:

How was that?

Speaker A:

Loved it.

Speaker B:

You wasn't scared?

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

But remember being on stage?

Speaker A:

I'm a stripper.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah, duh.

Speaker A:

So I'm used to performing on stage.

Speaker A:

So now I just added a microphone.

Speaker B:

That's true.

Speaker A:

And I was like, yo, this is for me.

Speaker A:

Like, this is what I've been missing my whole life.

Speaker A:

I felt that genuinely.

Speaker B:

Well, I be like, cause listen, I quit everything.

Speaker B:

That's my shit.

Speaker A:

Stop going to school, and I'm not telling nobody to do this.

Speaker A:

But this is what I did.

Speaker B:

It's just, it's just your path.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

With everything I said, you know what?

Speaker A:

I'm a rapper.

Speaker A:

I don't care.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker A:

Whatever.

Speaker A:

However, whatever it's gonna take for me to.

Speaker A:

I'M gonna do this.

Speaker A:

And I moved to Los Angeles.

Speaker A:

I was living in LA for, like, seven years.

Speaker A:

Like, I did the whole.

Speaker A:

Like, I was like, I'm a rapper.

Speaker B:

So you was moving out there networking, trying to find different.

Speaker B:

How did you end up on Baddies?

Speaker B:

What did you just go to the casting call and.

Speaker B:

Because I didn't see all of that, but you just.

Speaker B:

Because that's what you was on.

Speaker B:

But that put you on, like.

Speaker A:

So what happened was first we got to go back to the pandemic.

Speaker A:

So when the pandemic happened, shut everything down, and I started throwing parties.

Speaker B:

So stripper parties or just.

Speaker A:

Yeah, stripper parties.

Speaker A:

Really?

Speaker B:

That's smart.

Speaker A:

Until I started actually owning my own strip club.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

So love it.

Speaker A:

I went from stripping to owning my own strip club.

Speaker A:

And that was a big thing for a while.

Speaker B:

Hell, yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

That's a lot.

Speaker A:

The biggest names in the club.

Speaker A:

I had everybody coming to the club.

Speaker A:

I was booking, like, the Migos, period.

Speaker B:

That's why she said she was a baddie before this clock.

Speaker A:

Should I book Natalie Nun?

Speaker A:

I used to have everybody in my club.

Speaker A:

Swear to God, no, this is real.

Speaker A:

Believe it.

Speaker B:

I believe it.

Speaker A:

Just to literally everybody that you could think of in industry, they've been to my club.

Speaker A:

Love that.

Speaker A:

And I would kind of.

Speaker A:

Like, I didn't forget about rap, but I wasn't rapping.

Speaker A:

And then I just wasn't feeling fulfilled again.

Speaker A:

I was like, I'm making a lot of money.

Speaker A:

This is great.

Speaker B:

But you ain't in your purpose.

Speaker A:

It's not my purpose.

Speaker A:

And I just didn't.

Speaker A:

I'm like, this not what I want to do for.

Speaker A:

And, you know, one day I just told everybody.

Speaker A:

I said, hey, guys, you know, I'm so sorry, but did you just shut

Speaker B:

it down or how did you.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Are you serious?

Speaker B:

And then that was that.

Speaker B:

Where was that?

Speaker B:

In la?

Speaker A:

It was in la.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

A lot of people were upset.

Speaker A:

A lot of people were mad.

Speaker B:

I respect that, though.

Speaker B:

Me personally, personally made fun of me.

Speaker A:

It was like, this girl's stupid as hell.

Speaker A:

Like, you about to leave this to go for a dream, for a wish, for like a.

Speaker A:

You know, somebody told me, this is so funny.

Speaker B:

A dream that came true, though.

Speaker A:

It did come true.

Speaker A:

But this is what somebody told me.

Speaker A:

I told him, I want to be a rapper.

Speaker A:

I'm calling a club.

Speaker A:

He was like, are you dumb?

Speaker A:

Like, first of all, you're too old.

Speaker A:

You need to just get into real estate or something.

Speaker A:

That's what he told me.

Speaker A:

I was like, I can't Be raver.

Speaker A:

But honestly, when people say stuff like

Speaker B:

that to me, it motivates.

Speaker A:

It motivate me.

Speaker A:

It's like, now I have to prove

Speaker B:

to you how you got me up.

Speaker A:

And that was like an engine.

Speaker A:

Like, I have to show I have to make it.

Speaker A:

Because now I have all these people that's looking down at me, that's laughing at me, that's like, ah, bitch, you left the club.

Speaker A:

What did you do that for?

Speaker A:

And then now I could say that's what I did that for, period.

Speaker B:

I love.

Speaker A:

So follow your dreams, guys.

Speaker B:

You know, period.

Speaker A:

Your passion, your purpose.

Speaker B:

Your purpose.

Speaker A:

Just live in your purpose.

Speaker A:

Don't try to chase nothing else.

Speaker A:

Sometimes, even if it's something you got to get your money.

Speaker A:

Get your money and then invest into your purpose.

Speaker A:

Your purpose or your dream or your dream.

Speaker B:

And dreams do and come true.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

Like facts.

Speaker B:

A lot of people don't think they do, but they do.

Speaker B:

You're your own biggest enemy.

Speaker A:

Eight years ago, really?

Speaker A:

And I started, like, technically becoming an influencer, like 10 years ago on your social media platform.

Speaker B:

Really?

Speaker A:

Stuff, twerk videos, all that stuff.

Speaker B:

So you was back on MySpace, or am I just too.

Speaker B:

Oh, you know, the MySpace.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

My first video that went viral was on like, World Star.

Speaker B:

Really?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Like, before everything, like, got a million views on YouTube.

Speaker A:

It was like World Star hit hip hop.

Speaker A:

Like, everybody's like, oh, my God, you're on World Stars.

Speaker A:

You know, when you wake up, that is big.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker A:

That at that time, that was big.

Speaker B:

Yes, that's big as.

Speaker A:

That's an accomplishment.

Speaker A:

That was 10 years ago.

Speaker B:

So you been that.

Speaker A:

So I've been working towards something for all this time.

Speaker A:

You get what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

Sometimes people see me now and I made it, and they just like, oh, my gosh, you just blew up overnight.

Speaker A:

It's like.

Speaker A:

It's not overnight.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

And another reason why I feel like I blew up so much is, is because I'm taking all the information and all the hustle and all the stuff that I've been doing, and now I'm pushing it with that platform.

Speaker B:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

I like that a lot of people

Speaker A:

haven't been hustling as long as me, so they might get on and they don't even know what to do with the situation or the money.

Speaker A:

And they next year, nobody know who

Speaker B:

they are or in their broke.

Speaker A:

You get what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

So with me, a couple baddies, I think like that.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

But I've been up, I've been down, I Had money, I had lost money.

Speaker A:

I did this.

Speaker A:

I've been hustling.

Speaker A:

I've been doing so much for so long that I just knew what to do and how to work it and how to, you know what I'm saying sustain it.

Speaker B:

You knew how to sustain it because you can get a gang of money.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

But you can also go broke like that.

Speaker A:

And I did that 100 times.

Speaker B:

I think I did too.

Speaker A:

Probably realize like bro, what is going on?

Speaker B:

Like hey, were you not used to.

Speaker B:

I think your girl who the summer say they didn't get the wrong some money.

Speaker B:

I definitely was that at one point in my life they gave the wrong some money money because here how I want to get the all of this but I'm not looking at investing now.

Speaker B:

I've built a multi million dollar company by myself with no funding my own.

Speaker B:

And I'm doing for the community.

Speaker B:

It's one thing to build a legacy and all that, but if you ain't doing with your what the does that matter?

Speaker B:

God is watching us all and I feel like he strategically places certain people in certain areas or rooms to do his work.

Speaker B:

And I feel like I'm that chosen one.

Speaker B:

I feel like you that chosen 1:1.

Speaker B:

We facts, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

We the chosen ones because everybody if it was you waking up being a celebrity, everybody would be a goddamn celebrity.

Speaker B:

Everybody, we all would be one.

Speaker B:

We all would build multi million dollar companies and can help foster you.

Speaker B:

That God strategic strategically chose you and he chose me.

Speaker B:

And that's why I wanted you here.

Speaker B:

Because like I said, you have no.

Speaker B:

Well, I'm sure you probably know but yeah, just your you as a being on how your presence is inspiring to a lot of young girls.

Speaker B:

They is watching you.

Speaker B:

I don't give a fuck about stripping me hoeing.

Speaker B:

I don't give a about none of that.

Speaker B:

Like you said, they respect us more than them goddamn white people with them psychology degrees.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

You get what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

And me coming from the streets and now I'm a doctor with a PhD.

Speaker B:

You could do it too.

Speaker B:

So just like you, I feel like you coming from, you know, a broken home with moms and all of that.

Speaker B:

Where's your pops?

Speaker A:

He was around.

Speaker B:

Was he around?

Speaker A:

But not like around same like I knew who my dad was.

Speaker A:

I would go see him, he'll come here and there, probably send us a couple dollars here and there.

Speaker A:

But he wasn't not around.

Speaker B:

Do all you and your siblings have the same.

Speaker B:

No, that got you.

Speaker A:

We all got different Dads.

Speaker B:

Same with me.

Speaker B:

I got five siblings too.

Speaker B:

All different situations.

Speaker A:

My dad was actually married when I was born.

Speaker B:

Oh that's fun.

Speaker A:

It was a little weird being you know going to his house and then his wife hated me and it was just.

Speaker A:

Just like it was very.

Speaker B:

Life is my life.

Speaker A:

Patience.

Speaker B:

I went through the same.

Speaker B:

They mean to you?

Speaker A:

Yeah, all that I couldn't understand.

Speaker B:

Me neither.

Speaker A:

But now I kind of get it.

Speaker A:

But it's still no reason to be mean to a kid cuz that ain't had nothing to do with me.

Speaker B:

I'm a child.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Why are you being mean to me?

Speaker B:

I'm a. I didn't you like this ain't my like right.

Speaker A:

But it's like she want to take it out on me cuz for my mom or something.

Speaker B:

I get it.

Speaker B:

I've been.

Speaker B:

That's crazy.

Speaker B:

I've been through that same well you know what?

Speaker B:

At the end of the day g them we made it and now I think we're here too and the ones that can't and then I know I'm so freaking hostile.

Speaker B:

But no I think that got it.

Speaker B:

I think that I wanna now can we close this?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Now I wanna say if you could tell these young girls something about DTB disturbing these bitches what would you tell young girls like her

Speaker A:

for one I would say do okay this is and it's still I have to remind myself this now.

Speaker A:

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Speaker B:

Oh say it again sister.

Speaker A:

Comparison is the thief of joy for a long time for and I know a lot of people were looking at this this person.

Speaker A:

We have social media, we see everybody life we like oh well she have this and why I'm not here and this and that.

Speaker A:

We have to stop comparing our lives to other people.

Speaker A:

That's only showing their highlight reel.

Speaker B:

O you get what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

These people nobody's going on really showing what's wrong in their life and where was you know what I'm saying And what's going on at home?

Speaker A:

They just showing oh the purse.

Speaker B:

The purse.

Speaker A:

You don't know what happened before purse whoop for that.

Speaker A:

You get what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

But she got showing the black eye but she's showing the purse.

Speaker A:

So we have to stop looking at other people's lives and just compare comparing it and then downing your life.

Speaker A:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

You have to fall in love with your own journey, with your own path.

Speaker B:

I like that.

Speaker A:

And know that success is not a destination.

Speaker A:

Success is literally the motion of trying to get to where you want to go.

Speaker A:

You get what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

So if you have a destination, you say like, like I want to be a rapper.

Speaker A:

Just for instance, you're not successful when you hit the Billboard charts.

Speaker A:

You're successful when you're going to the studio, when you're, you know, making work, when you're, that's when you're, you're successful because you're actively working towards your goal.

Speaker A:

So if your goal is, you know, real estate and you're going to the classes and you're studying and you're, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A:

You didn't have to to sell the first house yet.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

But the action of doing the work, taking the steps and to doing the work, that is success.

Speaker A:

So let's stop putting success as oh, when I get here, I'm successful.

Speaker A:

No, when you're on your way there, you're successful.

Speaker B:

And I got to remind myself that too.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

I have to.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker B:

I know.

Speaker A:

That's why I want to say to the girls, stop comparing and know that success is in the journey and not the destination.
