Speaker 5 (00:31):
Day Well, you are now Angela what I call her.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Ye, it's way up with Angela.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You are a media maving right people.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
You never know what Angie's gonna say.
Speaker 7 (00:52):
All right, it's way up. I'm Angela. Yee manos here
no may. I can't believe this turned into a thing,
but I've been seeing it's snowballing Esco. But this all
started on TikTok right a psychologist. She's a clinical informenic
psychologist based in La Leslie. Dobson was talking about returning
the shopping cart at the end of your shopping trip.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Here's what she had to say.
Speaker 8 (01:14):
I'm not returning my shopping cart, and you can judge
me all you want. I'm not getting my groceries into
my car, getting my children into the car, and then
leaving them in the car to go return the cart.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Now, I want to know what your thoughts are on that.
That was her explaining why she doesn't do it. People
were online saying she's entitled, they were saying she's lazy,
they were calling her a Karen. They're like, why don't
you take your kids with you to return the cart
or lock the car with them inside?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
I don't think you should lock the kids inside the
car ever, if you can forget that car.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Now, what do you think about this?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You want to know what I think?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You seriously?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I want to know what you think. Do you
return your shopping cart?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I pushed that cart where every land and lands.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm gonna tell you a couple of things.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Okay, you know, because shopping car shaming has been happening
online for years, it feels like an episode of Seinfeld
or something. But my thoughts are this. A lot of
times they do have places where you can return the
shopping car.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
If it's simple if it's too far.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And it's right there, I think you should return it.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Right that's only if you park next to it, but if.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
It's you know, because I can also understand not wanting
to leave your kids in the car. There's a non
profit Kids in Car Safety, and they said that at
least two hundred and sixty five children were abducted during
car thefts, So that's really hard. Sometimes people don't realize
there's a kid in the vehicle to when they steal
the car. So I can understand that if you have kids.
(02:41):
But then I also realized, like you can, you know,
put the groceries in the car, take your kids with
you to return the car.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But that's a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's too much work. Leave that car right where is
that somebody? They have people in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Right that actually return the cars.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
But what I don't like is when people leave the
car right there, like behind someone's car.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think that's rude like that.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
At least put it in between so people can pull
out and not let the car.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Don't leave it in the middle.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
To be responsible like that. I try that, but every
now and then, when you push that car, it just slides.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It slides. It slides.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Did you ever come outside and you're like, who left
their shopping cart behind my car?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Like that's a rude, terrible thing to do.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, but you know, I'm always a little bit you know,
not in the in the right now.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Dobson did this video.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
She said she knew it was gonna be a thing
to talk about, but she also didn't expect the anger
and judgment from people online.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
She said, he's even gotten death threats.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
They'll be mad at me. I ride on the shoulder.
I do a lot of wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You probably parking a handy parking handicap.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
You know what, I can't find my handicap.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Plat do you park in the accepting mother's spot?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I park anywhere on the sidewalk at the bus stop.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
You know, if somebody talking the other day they said
I follow the rules too much, like I don't like
parking illegal.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I ride on the shoulder, you know, yeah, you know,
and they get mad at that. You know, when the
traffic is built up and people are on the line,
I ride on the shoulder and skip everybody.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
You know, sometimes they want to try to pull back in,
and I'm the person that's not gonna let you pull back.
All right, well, listen, you guys, we have yet. When
we come back, let's talk about Kanye. There were some
technical difficulties. I'm just gonna be honest. So if we
tease it earlier and you happen to hear it and
we didn't do it, it's coming up next. We'll talking
about Kanye a lawsuit against him.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's way up, they say in the rooms, from industry
shade to all of gosp out angelas feeling that eye.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
I'm Angela ye Mano is here and Kanye West is
being sued by his former assistant for sexual harassment. Now,
according to Lauren Pisciotta, she said that she was bringing
in a million dollars a year on OnlyFans, and he
made her take down her only fans and offered her
a million dollars a year to take it down and
come be his executive assistant.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Want to see what she looks like? She kind of
resembles him? Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
So according to Lauren, she says that within one year
of working with Kanye, he started to send her sexual
text messages and it said things like, see my problem
is I'd be wanting to f but then after I
f I want to go to tell me how I
can't even say this. But then he said, then I
want her to cheat on me. Then he also asked her,
(05:20):
is my D racist?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
It is.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This fing racist D of mine.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
I'm going to beat this fing racist D for being
fing racist. I'm going to stare at pictures of white women.
I can't even is this.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
What he said? Is this like a transcript of what
he said in the.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Text, Yes, these are the messages, the text messages relaxed.
All right, So now he's facing a sexual harassment lawsuit
from her.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Now.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
She also said that he fired her after offering her
four million dollars a year to be his chief of staff,
and she turned that down, and then she was offered
a three million dollar severance package, but she says that
she never received the money, which is why she's also
suing him for wrongful termination and breach of contract. So
Kanye has not yet commented on the allegations within this lawsuits.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
She was getting money and only fans.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
First, she stopped that only fans to get this job,
a million dollars a year as an executive assistant. All right, Now,
Young Miami is talking about her relationship with JT and
The City Girls. Man let me tell y'all something. Me
and Mana were talking about how much we used to
love The City Girls together, but she was talking with
Complex and here's what she had to say about the
two of them kind of not doing music together right now.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
We've got a whole rollout of an album. Was just
so bad because we were just in two different spaces.
When she doing her own thing, it just worked for her,
and when I'm doing my own thing, it worked for me.
But when we get together as a group, it just
was to connect me. So I think we both was
at a point where we was just like, we probably.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Just do our own I'm sad about that.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I know me too.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
And they were going back and forth on social media
at all see that, But then it felt like they
got in a better space.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Right But I still feel like it's something there, like
that's just not aligned with them, And I guess that's
why she's saying what she's saying. They know better than us.
But I was definitely a City Girls fan.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
All right now, Bust the Ryan's people are flaming him
because there he put up a picture on the beach,
and you know, the caption said, just know when you
are blessing highly favored, can nothing conquer what the blessings
are when you are made in the likeness of the
most High. He was in Carousel by the way, which
I've been wanting to go there. There's a hotel in
particular that I want to go to there. But anyway,
(07:32):
he's wearing jeans on the beach.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
But maybe he just landed. He's from New York and no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
But maybe when you just get to the hotel, or
you just get to the property and you before you
go in your room, or.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You now from New York.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
On the beach, they would have let him have it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
He just landed, or you know what could happen. He
might be leaving.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
All right.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Well, people thought it was strange and they were definitely
going on him.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Just for that.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
All right, Well, that is your ut. When we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
are not necessarily and the headlines. They're flying under the radar,
And we definitely want to make sure we talk about
what's going on with the Fearless Fund. We have definitely
been talking about this and Arian Simone who's the CEO
and founding partner, will tell you what's happening with the
Fearless Fund, because they were giving grants to black women
(08:31):
and it was stopped.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
News in the news that relates to you.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
All right, it's way up by Anngela Yee Manos in
a building, and let's get into some of these under
the radar stories. The US Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit has blocked the Fearless Fund from issuing grants
to only black women. Now, this fund is a VC
fund that does help out black women entrepreneurs who are
(09:00):
need By the way, we are the least funded out
of any group by venture capitalists. And in an opinion
that was released yesterday, the judges ruled that that is
substantially likely to violate the provisions of Title forty two
of the US Code, which ensures equal rights under the
law and prohibits the use of race when awarding and
enforcing contracts. And they said the funds program is unlikely
(09:23):
to be protected by the First Amendment. Now, if you
recall Arian Simone, who was one of the founders of
the Fairlest fund was on way up. And here's what
she had to say about what's been going on with
this trying to get blocked and with Edward Blum, who
is working with the American Alliance for Equal Rights, who
is definitely a very anti affirmative action.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
Here's what she had to say. We are being sued
by Edward Bloom's organization. He is a conservative legal strategist.
He's the same person that stopped affirmative action at the
colleges in June of twenty twenty three, and he has
a company called American Alliance for Equal Rights. They are
alleging exactly that we are being discriminatory, So I guess
(10:05):
we have like reverse discrimination or reverse racism.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
They're trying to they're trying to have an underserved group
of people who deserve the funding exact, get the funding
that they need, you know. And this has been something
that's been going on across the board that we have
to make sure we pay attention to as far as
people are trying to halt affirmative action. DEI efforts Equity
and Inclusion diversity, equity and inclusion programs. In corporate America,
(10:31):
a lot of corporations said they wanted to make sure
that there was diversity, because we have shown that with
diversity comes companies and corporations actually making more money, and
how important it is to have diversity. But unfortunately, you know,
these things are all being rolled back. So it's something
that we should all be paying attention to. This isn't
giving unqualified people money and opportunities. This is giving qualified
(10:54):
people a chance who normally wouldn't have the chance. All right, Well,
that is your under the radar. You know, we have
the way it mix of the time of the hour
and speaking of qualified amazing people, Cherie Jones is going
to be joining us. That is Sassy Jones. Love her clothing,
her accessories, her makeup. She's going to talk about her
journey to get to where she is today.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
When is cashed out having his baby. By the way,
now I saw she had another baby shower, shout out
to our girl cashed out. They said she's due to
give birth any day now, and she just had a shower,
a baby shower in Louis Vatan, so shout.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Out to her.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I don't know why people were upset about it, but
her having a baby shower in Louis Vaitan.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But why not the.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Problem people have said about anything?
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Yeah, Now, the first baby shower that she did, her
first child's baby shower was at the Detroit Pistons practice facility,
and then this one was.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
At the Louis Yeah, and she had a album.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
I guarantee you she bought some things while she was
there too. All right, now she posted y'all talking all
that ish, but not the one of you could have
a baby shower in Louvivtan, even if you could pay
for it. That was a client appreciation event they did
for me. My profile paid for that Buka butt and
the fact that they asked me to throw this shower
is even more baffling. Clarity is that girl? Imagine being
(14:31):
able to tell you a little girl later on? You know,
they wanted us to have your baby shower and Louis Vaitton.
Nobody is saying no to that. And they do do
events for Louis Vaittan for like their top customers and clients.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
They'll do a dinner there for you.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And the problem with her being.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
There, I don't know why, but I think it's totally
on brand. For cash doll all right, and that is
your yute. When we come back, we have ask ye
any question that you have one eight hundred two ninety
two fifty one fifty. I'm here with the award winning
advice giver new Mano. It's way up, whether.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It's relationship with career advice, Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
This is as GI what's up his way up with Angela?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yee?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I'm Angela Yee.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Manos in the building a winning advice giver today, so
we're gonna be looking to you today.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
We have somebody underline and she wants to remain anonymous.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Hello, Hello, Hey, how are you Hey?
Speaker 10 (15:25):
I'm fine?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm good. It's me and Mano and we would love
to hear your question.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
How would you legally handle dealing with a difficult parent
like father who doesn't pay child support and he kind
of like works under the table, so it's hard to
receive anything from him. He wants to be a father
without doing anything financially.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Okay, so he's active in your child's life, but financially
he's not supporting.
Speaker 10 (15:53):
I wantn't say active. He does things like on holidays
to try to get attention.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, a couple of things here.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
So he has child support ordered through the court, ye,
and so he doesn't pay or he just like you said,
he gets paid under the table.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So there's no way for you to get what you
should be getting.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
No, the only.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I don't really have the advice to really give you
on this matter.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But what I could do is get you on the
phone with my kids mother and you can tell them
how good they had it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Oh, shut up, help me, you know what I'm saying, Like,
maybe you.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Can help me, Like, well, I think you know.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
The main thing is you want to make sure that
your daughter knows that she is loved, right, and sometimes
that means even though you and the father. I can
assume that you guys don't get along at all, right,
and you know they do have an app where you
guys through the court where you can talk to each other,
so those messages are monitored. But have you guys had
(16:50):
to do like any any type of family counseling?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Non?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He is not.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Okay. Well here, the advice that I.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Can give you is this, you are do You went
through the court to make sure that he has to
pay child support, so they have to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I would just make sure that with messages.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Remember, all of those things can be used in the future,
so just know that, like anything that you send him,
just watch how you speak and think about if somebody
else was going to see those messages, how would they
take that. So sometimes you can only control what you
do and you can't control what the other person does.
So I would focus on what I'm doing, how I'm
raising my child, the ideas that I'm putting into her head,
(17:28):
making sure that she knows how worthy and loved and
valuable that she is. And you can't control what he does,
but you can control how you speak to him, how
you react to him, and not letting him get under
your skin because it feels like maybe that's something that
he enjoys being able to do, and just making.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Sure that you keep it very neutral.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Look, my main thing is I'm just concerned about my
daughter and that is my first priority. Hopefully that's yours too.
Let's not get our emotions involved in this. Is if
you need to go through this app where you guys
have your messages monitored so he can't talk to you crazy,
you're not talking to him crazy. I'm hoping that in
time things do improve and get better. But I think,
(18:07):
like I said, you can only control yourself app.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So they have our Family.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Wizard that's a co parenting app and helps you deal
with child custody with scheduling. But maybe that's a way
for you to get serious, you know, and get started
doing things like that help. Well, honestly, I wish you
look because I can't understand how a man would not
want to be in his child's life.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Thank you, and she's blessed to have you. All right.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Well that was ask ye eight hundred two ninety two
fifty one to fifty just in case you couldn't get through.
When we come back, we have Sassy Jones joining us
and she is an entrepreneur. She started her company. By
the way, she went to Hampton University as well, but
didn't graduate from there, but her mom had her at
sixteen and she has turned out amazing and she started
her business while she had very young twin boys. They
(18:54):
were only a few months old. And we'll talk to
her about her journey.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's way up.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Way, what's up?
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Its way up at Angela yee And I am so
excited to have this sunshine in the room with me today.
Sharie Jones aka Miss Sassy Jones, and you know her
clothing and makeup and you can see the accessories line
which I have on right now. So you started Sassy
Jones in twenty thirteen, correct, Yep, you're right. And I
remember reading about how you sold your car. You had
(19:26):
hundred books, yeah, and you had twin boys very young
at the time.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, there four months when like I jump started the brand.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Okay, So then talk to me about how you started
the brand and initially what your concept was.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well, initially I wanted it to be like an MOLM
you could buy and sell jury and like have reps
to sell it for you.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But when I figured I was an entrepreneur, I was
working my corporate gig, like and I sold everything from
like banking products, insurance, food to restaurants, all of it.
So like marketing and sales, it's in my blood. And
I always feel like you're going to have a train
insperable skill from your past that you're going to take
with you into the next leg of your journey. And
so took a little bit of secret sauce from all
(20:07):
the corporations that I worked for, and I was in
the car one day driving a Geico, Like my commute
was like an hour and a half. And I heard
this radio commercial and it was like, hey, you can
come and set up your table at this trade show
and like pay this entry feme. And so I was like, well,
what would I do? I don't have a business, Like
if I were to show up, how would I show up?
(20:27):
I decided to stick with accessories in the beginning because
it's low cost of entry. It's one size fits all,
and at that time I wasn't designing. I would just
buy wholesale, right, And so I didn't have any money
to do the show. So I sold the car for
thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Wild because that's really betting on yourself.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, and you have to as an entrepreneur. But I
got the money, bought inventory, and paid the eight hundred
dollars for the show, and I'm little brown girl niece
Bucklin setting up my table. Then all the people started
to come in, and people would just walk by and
be like, oh, that's not for me, And I'm like
what does that mean? Psychologically? Like why am I continuing
(21:07):
to hear this loop over and over and over And
so I was like, f dad, Nope, and they will
walk I will go out in the island and get
them like nope, come here, try this on? Yeah, and
handed them the mirror and then like we will all
hype them up, like you look so amazing? What would
you wear with d D?
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I had my friend my girlfriends with me.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I ask you who was there with Yeah, that was
helping you hype people up.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It was my best friend to this day. She is
our marketing director. But I learned so much about my
journey on that day. I learned the a I made
way more in the one day than I did on
my two week paycheck at work. And I was like,
it's something to this, right, Like I have a proof
of concept that this deserves some more of my energy.
And then the second thing is I found my ministry,
like legit helping women see themselves just a little bit differently.
(21:53):
And my conduit is just style and fashion, but for me,
it is a ministry and it happens to be profitable.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Right now, Jarisee Jones is joining us Aka at shop
Sassy Jones. What do you think about hearing that radio
commercial and then that was kind of what was the
catalyst for you to do what you did? You think
that was like a divine calling at that moment, because
sometimes we hear something and we shut out that voice.
But you heard something and you actually followed that voice, Angela.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I never thought about it that way. Yeah, I don't know.
If I didn't hear that on that day that I
wouldn't have taken the turn that I took. That's serendipitous, honestly.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And I want to encourage people to listen to the radio. Okay,
listen to the.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Radio, right voice right right, and you've got to hear it.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Because I could have been jabbing on the phone. I
could have been talking on the phone. I could have
been listening anything, right, But it seats and it melted,
and I actually took action from it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Well, Charisee Jones is here aka shop Sassy Jones, and
we have more with her when we come back. We're
going to talk about working with family and also being
a woman, entrepreneur and a boss.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's way up, Turn me up.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Here we go again.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
This is way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
What's up as Way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
I'm Angela Yee and I'm joined by designer entrepreneur Sassy Jones.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
So talk about working with Kean your husband, girl, if.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You can do this, Angela, do anything. Because it is
so difficult. It never turns off. The challenges that arise
at work. We bring home before we say good morning.
Sometimes he'll ask me a question about something on the
data or like something shop of fire or whatever, you know,
and so it is a constant pulling, like constant realignment.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Or But the one good thing is you know he's
always got you back.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I trust him like nobody's business right. He is my
built in best friend. The loyalty is insane. The place
that he makes decisions from I know it's coming from
a place of love. He works just as hard, if
not harder, than I do, right, and the support you
can't put a price tag on that. The rule for
us is this is us. We don't try to stay
(24:01):
in no kind of boundary because it's stressful to try
to stay in that boundary versus just letting it flow
and be what it is. And so we talk business
at the dinner table now, on date night, right and
in the morning, and the sooner that I became okay
with that, things got easier okay instead of me trying
to perfect it.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Right now, Jarise Jones is joining us Aka at shop
Sase Jones. When you talk about your sons, right and
your kids because you do have twins, yes, sometimes as
a mom especially they were very young when you first
started this, women can feel guilty. People never ask men like, oh,
do you have kids? Do you have a family? How
do you do it? But they do ask women that
(24:38):
all of the time. So talk to me about that
balance because there are a lot of people who are
mothers who are trying to be an entrepreneur, who want
to do that, but they feel like restricted because of that.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And it doesn't go away. Can I just tell you
that it gets better and the more like the older
the kids get I involved in on what I'm doing,
so they actually understand why mommy is going to go
these things. But the feelings on the inside of mommy
still are there. The thing about the man woman balance. Okay,
I'm in this group called YPO, right, and have you
ever heard of it?
Speaker 5 (25:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So it stands for Young President's Organization. There's a lot
of many They don't ask them where their wives are,
but they asked me where my husband is? Right, They're
not asking who is keeping the kids to the man.
Never they're asking me, so we're your kids. In the
business world, I run into that a lot, and when
we're trying to do partnerships and things like that. If
me and Kean are in the room, they are looking
(25:32):
at Keon.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Right like speaking like you didn't start this and it's
not called Sassy Joy.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So they're talking to him, right, And.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'm just like, go ahead, bro.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
And this has happened to me. Not as much anymore,
but when I was first starting out. They will come
in and shake everybody's hand and speak to everyone. If
I'm the only woman, sometimes people don't even speak to you.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Nope, they don't, right, you know, and so you just
have to fight a little harder.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
I just wanted people to see everything that you've been doing.
You came up here. I know there's so much more
to what you have going on, but shop Sassy Jones.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
And I just want to just recognize you and like
big you up for the work that you do because
like having me here as a woman on entrepreneur and
continually giving others a platform to share their story. Well,
you probably have no idea how many people you're blessing.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
No, I love it and what I'm look and What
I love to see is when we have somebody up
here and I only have people up here who I
think are amazing, you know, I want to see that
return with people going to shop.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Sassy Jones.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
You do amazing already, but I want to even see
the impact that that has because I know as an
entrepreneur myself, how difficult it is, you know, at certain times.
So I love that and I love to have you
up here. And I know we're going to end up
doing some more things together in the future.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I already know. Yeah, I can feel it too, Sassy Jones.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Day Well, you are now Angela what I call her.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Ye, it's way up with Angela.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You are a media maving right people.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
You never know what Angie's gonna say.
Speaker 7 (00:52):
All right, it's way up. I'm Angela. Yee manos here
no may. I can't believe this turned into a thing,
but I've been seeing it's snowballing Esco. But this all
started on TikTok right a psychologist. She's a clinical informenic
psychologist based in La Leslie. Dobson was talking about returning
the shopping cart at the end of your shopping trip.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Here's what she had to say.
Speaker 8 (01:14):
I'm not returning my shopping cart, and you can judge
me all you want. I'm not getting my groceries into
my car, getting my children into the car, and then
leaving them in the car to go return the cart.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Now, I want to know what your thoughts are on that.
That was her explaining why she doesn't do it. People
were online saying she's entitled, they were saying she's lazy,
they were calling her a Karen. They're like, why don't
you take your kids with you to return the cart
or lock the car with them inside?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
I don't think you should lock the kids inside the
car ever, if you can forget that car.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Now, what do you think about this?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You want to know what I think?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You seriously?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I want to know what you think. Do you
return your shopping cart?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I pushed that cart where every land and lands.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm gonna tell you a couple of things.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Okay, you know, because shopping car shaming has been happening
online for years, it feels like an episode of Seinfeld
or something. But my thoughts are this. A lot of
times they do have places where you can return the
shopping car.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
If it's simple if it's too far.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And it's right there, I think you should return it.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Right that's only if you park next to it, but if.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
It's you know, because I can also understand not wanting
to leave your kids in the car. There's a non
profit Kids in Car Safety, and they said that at
least two hundred and sixty five children were abducted during
car thefts, So that's really hard. Sometimes people don't realize
there's a kid in the vehicle to when they steal
the car. So I can understand that if you have kids.
(02:41):
But then I also realized, like you can, you know,
put the groceries in the car, take your kids with
you to return the car.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But that's a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's too much work. Leave that car right where is
that somebody? They have people in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Right that actually return the cars.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
But what I don't like is when people leave the
car right there, like behind someone's car.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think that's rude like that.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
At least put it in between so people can pull
out and not let the car.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Don't leave it in the middle.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
To be responsible like that. I try that, but every
now and then, when you push that car, it just slides.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It slides. It slides.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Did you ever come outside and you're like, who left
their shopping cart behind my car?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Like that's a rude, terrible thing to do.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, but you know, I'm always a little bit you know,
not in the in the right now.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Dobson did this video.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
She said she knew it was gonna be a thing
to talk about, but she also didn't expect the anger
and judgment from people online.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
She said, he's even gotten death threats.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
They'll be mad at me. I ride on the shoulder.
I do a lot of wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You probably parking a handy parking handicap.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
You know what, I can't find my handicap.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Plat do you park in the accepting mother's spot?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I park anywhere on the sidewalk at the bus stop.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
You know, if somebody talking the other day they said
I follow the rules too much, like I don't like
parking illegal.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I ride on the shoulder, you know, yeah, you know,
and they get mad at that. You know, when the
traffic is built up and people are on the line,
I ride on the shoulder and skip everybody.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
You know, sometimes they want to try to pull back in,
and I'm the person that's not gonna let you pull back.
All right, well, listen, you guys, we have yet. When
we come back, let's talk about Kanye. There were some
technical difficulties. I'm just gonna be honest. So if we
tease it earlier and you happen to hear it and
we didn't do it, it's coming up next. We'll talking
about Kanye a lawsuit against him.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's way up, they say in the rooms, from industry
shade to all of gosp out angelas feeling that eye.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
I'm Angela ye Mano is here and Kanye West is
being sued by his former assistant for sexual harassment. Now,
according to Lauren Pisciotta, she said that she was bringing
in a million dollars a year on OnlyFans, and he
made her take down her only fans and offered her
a million dollars a year to take it down and
come be his executive assistant.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Want to see what she looks like? She kind of
resembles him? Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
So according to Lauren, she says that within one year
of working with Kanye, he started to send her sexual
text messages and it said things like, see my problem
is I'd be wanting to f but then after I
f I want to go to tell me how I
can't even say this. But then he said, then I
want her to cheat on me. Then he also asked her,
(05:20):
is my D racist?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
It is.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This fing racist D of mine.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
I'm going to beat this fing racist D for being
fing racist. I'm going to stare at pictures of white women.
I can't even is this.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
What he said? Is this like a transcript of what
he said in the.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Text, Yes, these are the messages, the text messages relaxed.
All right, So now he's facing a sexual harassment lawsuit
from her.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Now.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
She also said that he fired her after offering her
four million dollars a year to be his chief of staff,
and she turned that down, and then she was offered
a three million dollar severance package, but she says that
she never received the money, which is why she's also
suing him for wrongful termination and breach of contract. So
Kanye has not yet commented on the allegations within this lawsuits.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
She was getting money and only fans.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
First, she stopped that only fans to get this job,
a million dollars a year as an executive assistant. All right, Now,
Young Miami is talking about her relationship with JT and
The City Girls. Man let me tell y'all something. Me
and Mana were talking about how much we used to
love The City Girls together, but she was talking with
Complex and here's what she had to say about the
two of them kind of not doing music together right now.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
We've got a whole rollout of an album. Was just
so bad because we were just in two different spaces.
When she doing her own thing, it just worked for her,
and when I'm doing my own thing, it worked for me.
But when we get together as a group, it just
was to connect me. So I think we both was
at a point where we was just like, we probably.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Just do our own I'm sad about that.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I know me too.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
And they were going back and forth on social media
at all see that, But then it felt like they
got in a better space.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Right But I still feel like it's something there, like
that's just not aligned with them, And I guess that's
why she's saying what she's saying. They know better than us.
But I was definitely a City Girls fan.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
All right now, Bust the Ryan's people are flaming him
because there he put up a picture on the beach,
and you know, the caption said, just know when you
are blessing highly favored, can nothing conquer what the blessings
are when you are made in the likeness of the
most High. He was in Carousel by the way, which
I've been wanting to go there. There's a hotel in
particular that I want to go to there. But anyway,
(07:32):
he's wearing jeans on the beach.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
But maybe he just landed. He's from New York and no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
But maybe when you just get to the hotel, or
you just get to the property and you before you
go in your room, or.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You now from New York.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
On the beach, they would have let him have it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
He just landed, or you know what could happen. He
might be leaving.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
All right.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Well, people thought it was strange and they were definitely
going on him.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Just for that.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
All right, Well, that is your ut. When we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
are not necessarily and the headlines. They're flying under the radar,
And we definitely want to make sure we talk about
what's going on with the Fearless Fund. We have definitely
been talking about this and Arian Simone who's the CEO
and founding partner, will tell you what's happening with the
Fearless Fund, because they were giving grants to black women
(08:31):
and it was stopped.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
News in the news that relates to you.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
All right, it's way up by Anngela Yee Manos in
a building, and let's get into some of these under
the radar stories. The US Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit has blocked the Fearless Fund from issuing grants
to only black women. Now, this fund is a VC
fund that does help out black women entrepreneurs who are
(09:00):
need By the way, we are the least funded out
of any group by venture capitalists. And in an opinion
that was released yesterday, the judges ruled that that is
substantially likely to violate the provisions of Title forty two
of the US Code, which ensures equal rights under the
law and prohibits the use of race when awarding and
enforcing contracts. And they said the funds program is unlikely
(09:23):
to be protected by the First Amendment. Now, if you
recall Arian Simone, who was one of the founders of
the Fairlest fund was on way up. And here's what
she had to say about what's been going on with
this trying to get blocked and with Edward Blum, who
is working with the American Alliance for Equal Rights, who
is definitely a very anti affirmative action.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
Here's what she had to say. We are being sued
by Edward Bloom's organization. He is a conservative legal strategist.
He's the same person that stopped affirmative action at the
colleges in June of twenty twenty three, and he has
a company called American Alliance for Equal Rights. They are
alleging exactly that we are being discriminatory, So I guess
(10:05):
we have like reverse discrimination or reverse racism.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
They're trying to they're trying to have an underserved group
of people who deserve the funding exact, get the funding
that they need, you know. And this has been something
that's been going on across the board that we have
to make sure we pay attention to as far as
people are trying to halt affirmative action. DEI efforts Equity
and Inclusion diversity, equity and inclusion programs. In corporate America,
(10:31):
a lot of corporations said they wanted to make sure
that there was diversity, because we have shown that with
diversity comes companies and corporations actually making more money, and
how important it is to have diversity. But unfortunately, you know,
these things are all being rolled back. So it's something
that we should all be paying attention to. This isn't
giving unqualified people money and opportunities. This is giving qualified
(10:54):
people a chance who normally wouldn't have the chance. All right, Well,
that is your under the radar. You know, we have
the way it mix of the time of the hour
and speaking of qualified amazing people, Cherie Jones is going
to be joining us. That is Sassy Jones. Love her clothing,
her accessories, her makeup. She's going to talk about her
journey to get to where she is today.
Speaker 2 (11:11):

Speaker 3 (11:25):

Speaker 7 (11:28):
And Rihanna has posted a new family is moving in
hashtag fancy hair is pulling up and it's time to
finally have the hair experience you've been waiting for. You
know how much switching my hair up matters to me.
I've had almost every texture, color length, from weaves to

Taraji b Henson is returning to BT as their awards

she'll be doing that. So they just announced all of that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Drake leads all the nominations with seven, followed by Nicki
Minaj with six, and then JCole sexy Red Victoria Monea
says it all have five and Usher is getting the
Lifetime Achieving BT Award.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Nice, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Speaking of Drake, Drake has he's on the Plain White
Tees remix and it's called Waguan Delailah. Yeah, and I
knew you would like this because you and Drake have
a similar accent.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
And let's hear this.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Waguan Delilah norm because there's better traffic. I just showed
my dog your Grimmy said he knows a man slapda.
I'm so geez, your Madami was a night turkey. I'm
being low key.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
It snowed now. A lot of people thought it was
Ai at first. He's he's versatile, but you know, the
actual link is up, so it's a real thing. And
he follows, Drake follows him. And doesn't that sound like
how you let me hear your real, real, real accent,
you know, you know jam me?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And all right?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
When is cashed out having his baby. By the way,
now I saw she had another baby shower, shout out
to our girl cashed out. They said she's due to
give birth any day now, and she just had a shower,
a baby shower in Louis Vatan, so shout.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Out to her.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I don't know why people were upset about it, but
her having a baby shower in Louis Vaitan.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But why not the.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Problem people have said about anything?
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Yeah, Now, the first baby shower that she did, her
first child's baby shower was at the Detroit Pistons practice facility,
and then this one was.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
At the Louis Yeah, and she had a album.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
I guarantee you she bought some things while she was
there too. All right, now she posted y'all talking all
that ish, but not the one of you could have
a baby shower in Louvivtan, even if you could pay
for it. That was a client appreciation event they did
for me. My profile paid for that Buka butt and
the fact that they asked me to throw this shower
is even more baffling. Clarity is that girl? Imagine being
(14:31):
able to tell you a little girl later on? You know,
they wanted us to have your baby shower and Louis Vaitton.
Nobody is saying no to that. And they do do
events for Louis Vaittan for like their top customers and clients.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
They'll do a dinner there for you.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And the problem with her being.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
There, I don't know why, but I think it's totally
on brand. For cash doll all right, and that is
your yute. When we come back, we have ask ye
any question that you have one eight hundred two ninety
two fifty one fifty. I'm here with the award winning
advice giver new Mano. It's way up, whether.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It's relationship with career advice, Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
This is as GI what's up his way up with Angela?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yee?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I'm Angela Yee.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Manos in the building a winning advice giver today, so
we're gonna be looking to you today.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
We have somebody underline and she wants to remain anonymous.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Hello, Hello, Hey, how are you Hey?
Speaker 10 (15:25):
I'm fine?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm good. It's me and Mano and we would love
to hear your question.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
How would you legally handle dealing with a difficult parent
like father who doesn't pay child support and he kind
of like works under the table, so it's hard to
receive anything from him. He wants to be a father
without doing anything financially.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Okay, so he's active in your child's life, but financially
he's not supporting.
Speaker 10 (15:53):
I wantn't say active. He does things like on holidays
to try to get attention.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, a couple of things here.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
So he has child support ordered through the court, ye,
and so he doesn't pay or he just like you said,
he gets paid under the table.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So there's no way for you to get what you
should be getting.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
No, the only.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I don't really have the advice to really give you
on this matter.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But what I could do is get you on the
phone with my kids mother and you can tell them
how good they had it.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Oh, shut up, help me, you know what I'm saying, Like,
maybe you.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Can help me, Like, well, I think you know.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
The main thing is you want to make sure that
your daughter knows that she is loved, right, and sometimes
that means even though you and the father. I can
assume that you guys don't get along at all, right,
and you know they do have an app where you
guys through the court where you can talk to each other,
so those messages are monitored. But have you guys had
(16:50):
to do like any any type of family counseling?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Non?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He is not.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Okay. Well here, the advice that I.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Can give you is this, you are do You went
through the court to make sure that he has to
pay child support, so they have to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I would just make sure that with messages.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Remember, all of those things can be used in the future,
so just know that, like anything that you send him,
just watch how you speak and think about if somebody
else was going to see those messages, how would they
take that. So sometimes you can only control what you
do and you can't control what the other person does.
So I would focus on what I'm doing, how I'm
raising my child, the ideas that I'm putting into her head,
(17:28):
making sure that she knows how worthy and loved and
valuable that she is. And you can't control what he does,
but you can control how you speak to him, how
you react to him, and not letting him get under
your skin because it feels like maybe that's something that
he enjoys being able to do, and just making.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Sure that you keep it very neutral.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Look, my main thing is I'm just concerned about my
daughter and that is my first priority. Hopefully that's yours too.
Let's not get our emotions involved in this. Is if
you need to go through this app where you guys
have your messages monitored so he can't talk to you crazy,
you're not talking to him crazy. I'm hoping that in
time things do improve and get better. But I think,
(18:07):
like I said, you can only control yourself app.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So they have our Family.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Wizard that's a co parenting app and helps you deal
with child custody with scheduling. But maybe that's a way
for you to get serious, you know, and get started
doing things like that help. Well, honestly, I wish you
look because I can't understand how a man would not
want to be in his child's life.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Thank you, and she's blessed to have you. All right.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Well that was ask ye eight hundred two ninety two
fifty one to fifty just in case you couldn't get through.
When we come back, we have Sassy Jones joining us
and she is an entrepreneur. She started her company. By
the way, she went to Hampton University as well, but
didn't graduate from there, but her mom had her at
sixteen and she has turned out amazing and she started
her business while she had very young twin boys. They
(18:54):
were only a few months old. And we'll talk to
her about her journey.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's way up.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Way, what's up?
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Its way up at Angela yee And I am so
excited to have this sunshine in the room with me today.
Sharie Jones aka Miss Sassy Jones, and you know her
clothing and makeup and you can see the accessories line
which I have on right now. So you started Sassy
Jones in twenty thirteen, correct, Yep, you're right. And I
remember reading about how you sold your car. You had
(19:26):
hundred books, yeah, and you had twin boys very young
at the time.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, there four months when like I jump started the brand.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Okay, So then talk to me about how you started
the brand and initially what your concept was.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well, initially I wanted it to be like an MOLM
you could buy and sell jury and like have reps
to sell it for you.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But when I figured I was an entrepreneur, I was
working my corporate gig, like and I sold everything from
like banking products, insurance, food to restaurants, all of it.
So like marketing and sales, it's in my blood. And
I always feel like you're going to have a train
insperable skill from your past that you're going to take
with you into the next leg of your journey. And
so took a little bit of secret sauce from all
(20:07):
the corporations that I worked for, and I was in
the car one day driving a Geico, Like my commute
was like an hour and a half. And I heard
this radio commercial and it was like, hey, you can
come and set up your table at this trade show
and like pay this entry feme. And so I was like, well,
what would I do? I don't have a business, Like
if I were to show up, how would I show up?
(20:27):
I decided to stick with accessories in the beginning because
it's low cost of entry. It's one size fits all,
and at that time I wasn't designing. I would just
buy wholesale, right, And so I didn't have any money
to do the show. So I sold the car for
thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Wild because that's really betting on yourself.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, and you have to as an entrepreneur. But I
got the money, bought inventory, and paid the eight hundred
dollars for the show, and I'm little brown girl niece
Bucklin setting up my table. Then all the people started
to come in, and people would just walk by and
be like, oh, that's not for me, And I'm like
what does that mean? Psychologically? Like why am I continuing
(21:07):
to hear this loop over and over and over And
so I was like, f dad, Nope, and they will
walk I will go out in the island and get
them like nope, come here, try this on? Yeah, and
handed them the mirror and then like we will all
hype them up, like you look so amazing? What would
you wear with d D?
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I had my friend my girlfriends with me.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I ask you who was there with Yeah, that was
helping you hype people up.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It was my best friend to this day. She is
our marketing director. But I learned so much about my
journey on that day. I learned the a I made
way more in the one day than I did on
my two week paycheck at work. And I was like,
it's something to this, right, Like I have a proof
of concept that this deserves some more of my energy.
And then the second thing is I found my ministry,
like legit helping women see themselves just a little bit differently.
(21:53):
And my conduit is just style and fashion, but for me,
it is a ministry and it happens to be profitable.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Right now, Jarisee Jones is joining us Aka at shop
Sassy Jones. What do you think about hearing that radio
commercial and then that was kind of what was the
catalyst for you to do what you did? You think
that was like a divine calling at that moment, because
sometimes we hear something and we shut out that voice.
But you heard something and you actually followed that voice, Angela.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I never thought about it that way. Yeah, I don't know.
If I didn't hear that on that day that I
wouldn't have taken the turn that I took. That's serendipitous, honestly.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And I want to encourage people to listen to the radio. Okay,
listen to the.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Radio, right voice right right, and you've got to hear it.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Because I could have been jabbing on the phone. I
could have been talking on the phone. I could have
been listening anything, right, But it seats and it melted,
and I actually took action from it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Well, Charisee Jones is here aka shop Sassy Jones, and
we have more with her when we come back. We're
going to talk about working with family and also being
a woman, entrepreneur and a boss.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's way up, Turn me up.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Here we go again.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
This is way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
What's up as Way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
I'm Angela Yee and I'm joined by designer entrepreneur Sassy Jones.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
So talk about working with Kean your husband, girl, if.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You can do this, Angela, do anything. Because it is
so difficult. It never turns off. The challenges that arise
at work. We bring home before we say good morning.
Sometimes he'll ask me a question about something on the
data or like something shop of fire or whatever, you know,
and so it is a constant pulling, like constant realignment.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Or But the one good thing is you know he's
always got you back.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I trust him like nobody's business right. He is my
built in best friend. The loyalty is insane. The place
that he makes decisions from I know it's coming from
a place of love. He works just as hard, if
not harder, than I do, right, and the support you
can't put a price tag on that. The rule for
us is this is us. We don't try to stay
(24:01):
in no kind of boundary because it's stressful to try
to stay in that boundary versus just letting it flow
and be what it is. And so we talk business
at the dinner table now, on date night, right and
in the morning, and the sooner that I became okay
with that, things got easier okay instead of me trying
to perfect it.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Right now, Jarise Jones is joining us Aka at shop
Sase Jones. When you talk about your sons, right and
your kids because you do have twins, yes, sometimes as
a mom especially they were very young when you first
started this, women can feel guilty. People never ask men like, oh,
do you have kids? Do you have a family? How
do you do it? But they do ask women that
(24:38):
all of the time. So talk to me about that
balance because there are a lot of people who are
mothers who are trying to be an entrepreneur, who want
to do that, but they feel like restricted because of that.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And it doesn't go away. Can I just tell you
that it gets better and the more like the older
the kids get I involved in on what I'm doing,
so they actually understand why mommy is going to go
these things. But the feelings on the inside of mommy
still are there. The thing about the man woman balance. Okay,
I'm in this group called YPO, right, and have you
ever heard of it?
Speaker 5 (25:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So it stands for Young President's Organization. There's a lot
of many They don't ask them where their wives are,
but they asked me where my husband is? Right, They're
not asking who is keeping the kids to the man.
Never they're asking me, so we're your kids. In the
business world, I run into that a lot, and when
we're trying to do partnerships and things like that. If
me and Kean are in the room, they are looking
(25:32):
at Keon.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Right like speaking like you didn't start this and it's
not called Sassy Joy.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So they're talking to him, right, And.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'm just like, go ahead, bro.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
And this has happened to me. Not as much anymore,
but when I was first starting out. They will come
in and shake everybody's hand and speak to everyone. If
I'm the only woman, sometimes people don't even speak to you.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Nope, they don't, right, you know, and so you just
have to fight a little harder.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
I just wanted people to see everything that you've been doing.
You came up here. I know there's so much more
to what you have going on, but shop Sassy Jones.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
And I just want to just recognize you and like
big you up for the work that you do because
like having me here as a woman on entrepreneur and
continually giving others a platform to share their story. Well,
you probably have no idea how many people you're blessing.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
No, I love it and what I'm look and What
I love to see is when we have somebody up
here and I only have people up here who I
think are amazing, you know, I want to see that
return with people going to shop.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Sassy Jones.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
You do amazing already, but I want to even see
the impact that that has because I know as an
entrepreneur myself, how difficult it is, you know, at certain times.
So I love that and I love to have you
up here. And I know we're going to end up
doing some more things together in the future.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
