Speaker 1 (00:00):
The following is a paid commercial by Black Girls Sunscreen.
The views expressed our those of the sponsor and not
iHeartMedia or this station. Welcome to Shamelessly Chante. Yeah, with
your host Shanta Lundy the money.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm your host, Shantay Lundy.
But yeah, but there's been a lot happening right in
front of our eyes. Some huge social moments that are
shaping our society have us questioning our own thoughts and beliefs,
have us questioning our livelihood and how do we exist
(00:41):
in this world. So some of the things that have.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You know, come up, I think are just reacting to
pop culture drama, discussion how social media is shaping our
real life friendships, business, mental health. So there are some
topics that I wanted to kind of float by you
two just have a conversation about, okay, and social moments.
You all is us breaking down viral trend reacting to
(01:07):
pop cultural drama and discussing how social media is shaping
real life friendships, business, and mental health. Okay, just for
a recap. Let's start here because I'm in this space, okay,
and we debate about it. We debate if already rich
(01:27):
people should already rich people have quote unquote side hustles. Now,
let me explain what this question means. Okay, so a
rich person would qualify as someone that has wealth significant wealth,
has created a lane in an industry. So think of musician,
(01:49):
movie star, somebody that's big, okay, has a name and
then starts, I don't know, a shoe company, for a
liver company. So what do we think about rich people
having side hustles? Like they just pop up, like, oh
my god, this has been a passion project of mine
(02:09):
for ten years. What do you all think about that?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Sometimes it seems like a bit of a money grab,
to be honest with you. They are capitalizing on the
fame and popularity that they already have, be it from
music or from film, and then just taking that into
liquor or to fashion, and you know, in some cases
it might seem authentic. I guess if maybe it truly
(02:37):
was something they were always passionate about, but they just
kind of fell into this other career and they were
incredibly successful. But to me, sometimes it does feel like
a money grab.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Does so there have been some successful ones just in beauty, yes, yeah,
and we can name, we can name Rare beauty, we
can name fenty beauty. You know, then we have sacred happening.
You know right now that's a lot of eyes on
sacred because of the tour. But we can The list
can go on and on and on. Some of them
(03:10):
go on to be extremely lucrative and successful and then others, Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I can think of one. This goes back a little bit.
But Jessica Simpson, I mean, her shoe brand far exceeded
any success that she had as do they still have
sing styles?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And Macy's.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
That I don't know where it's at still.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I think she's still in some of the more mean
stream department stores, certainly online.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah. So does this not like rub anybody the wrong way?
Like as a as a Okay, let me talk about
my experience. There are celebrities in some care for me,
current chante, mature chante, understand business. I can appreciate more
(04:03):
voices in the space so we can all hold hands
and bring awareness to sun safety. I remember when a
certain haircare brand launched in during COVID and the haircare
founders were upset because this brand went on a circuit
of press. So she was on you know, every morning show,
(04:26):
radio shows. I mean, she was picked up instantly by
all the like social media platforms, and it just kind
of like overshadowed anybody that had done work in hair,
and still today that person is getting recognition for the brand,
their brand, and it's like squashing the founders that were
(04:48):
literally in the kitchen creating their own formulas. So we've
gotten over it, but it hurt, right because when you
come from a family already that has wealth, when you
come from you know, successful careers in other industries, it's
kind of like, as black women, can we invest in
(05:10):
each other as opposed to now, you know, entering a
space that causes like competition. That's how I feel about it.
I would prefer the person and we can't tell anybody
what to do with their money and invest in the
others because you already got your bag.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
True.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I feel that.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
It's kind of twofold because in business you learn should
have multiple streams of income. So I look at it
from that standpoint because their career, be it acting or
being a musical artist, it'll fizzle out at some point.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
But then you have.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
When you go on tour and you make one hundred
million dollars. Okay, that's not every but you go for life.
You saw your beauty company, You get to one hundred
million dollars one time. The artists go on tour and
make that several times.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, but why can't they still work?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Okay? Should we bring back segregation?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Oh gosh, okay. So I definitely have a position on this.
I think I remember when that post hit and I thought, hmm, okay,
is this to create a viral moment or are we
being serious here? Because I feel like it's something very
easy to say. But if you really think about segregation
(06:42):
historically from a historical perspective, So it was in nineteen
fifty four right where the Supreme Court ruled that it
was unconstitutional. It took the country though another ten years
after that to truly like end segregation in all of
the gym cro laws. But what made it unconstitutional was
(07:06):
that it truly wasn't equal. I mean the whole idea
of separate but equal. So unless you're starting out on
equal footing, how can it truly ever be equal? And
you have another group or another community to this far
ahead and has great wealth already established, and you have
another community that just will never be able to get
(07:28):
there because they're starting like below ground zero. So fast
forward to today, and why it still won't work is
because there's still this incredible disparity in wealth. So even
though you have people of color, black people specific specifically
who are very successful, still when you make the comparison
(07:49):
between the majority, there's there is no comparison to be made.
So I still believe that you would have the same
situation that because we're not on equal footing, it wouldn't
truly be separate but equal. So and I have a
few numbers that just really quickly to the point of
(08:10):
income disparity. So if you look at in this country nationally,
the median wealth for a white family is two hundred
and eighty five thousand, for black family it's forty four.
So that's median. And then if you go city by city,
so LA for white family three fifty five, two hundred
(08:33):
and fifty five thousand, for black family four thousand, So
in the major cities it's it's far worse. So again
I just think that it sounds interesting, it's an interesting discussion,
but if you really dig into the numbers and understand
why it didn't work the first time, we haven't progressed
far enough that it would work today.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So what's going on? How Black Girls sun Screen?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
So I want to highlight the sunscreen that every girl
needs when she's on the go. Make It Glow SPF thirty.
If you love our queen Black Girls Sunscreen SPF thirty,
you'll love Make It Glow.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
One's a lotion. One's a spray.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Our lightweight continuous sunscreen spray applies to the body evenly,
leaving a layer of sun protection from harmful UVA and
UVB rates infused with glycerine, jehoba and avocado to help
moisturize your skin. Make It Glow leaves all the skin
tones and skin types with a radiant glow for on
the go. Make It Glow can be used on the
(09:32):
face and body, has no parabins, leaves a dry touch finish,
no mess, no white casts. We have a travel friendly
size which comes in three ounces, and we have a
five ounce size just in case you need a little
bit more. You can find Make It Glow at Alta, CBS, Walmart,
and of course Black Girls Sunscreen dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yes, so here's how I'm using my MiG. Make It
Glow MiG is an internal word. But I'm mixing make
it Glow with a little bit of bronzer to give
me that glistening, nice effect. Yeah, so I'm protected with
the sunscreen. And then of course I got a layer
in the sexiness, because why not?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
That's how I use mine, Okay. And when I don't
feel like rubbing sunscreen in, I just want to be
on the go, be quick, be quick. Yeahah, and sometimes
I'll pull in the spring plate. But anyway, so wait,
where can we find make a glow black Girls Sunscreen
dot Com? What retailers can we find make it Glow in?
Speaker 6 (10:27):
I have Ulta okay, CVS okay, and Walmart and Walmart.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's all. That's all I got off the top of
my dome. Okay, So Walmart, let's start with Alta, so
you can find most of our products in Alta. But yes,
you can definitely find her in Alta. You can find
her in CVS. And I don't want to say Walgreen, Okay,
I want to say both and make it glow five
ounce in Walmart.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yes, we love bigger sizes because that three ounce goes.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's supposed to go, right if you're wearing your sunscreen. Properly.
You know this is gonna last you on maybe one trip,
maybe one. This is this is a message to all
the folks that buy one sunscreen a year and sing
it's supposed to last. That means that you're not properly
wearing the sunscreen and the amount that you're supposed to
wear correct this three ounces does not last you one year.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
You're supposed to reapply every eighty minutes, and if you're
in the water, reapply when you get out the water.
If you're sweating a lot, you want to reapply less
than the eighty minutes, so water sweating, and.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
If you want to be cute, So I just want
to really hone this message in. If you're buying just
one sunscreen, it doesn't matter if it's a spray, if
it is the lotion, or even the five ounce. If
you're only buying one a year, it is not sufficient
and we're gonna leave it at that.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I can use a tube in a month because I reapply.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And you're listening to Shameless.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
If you want to present your skin cray, make sure
you get some black Girl sunscreen. Black Girl, your ain
gunnandageum sign bab just lit on your black Girl signscreen
blacky black, don't crack.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But people get sun burned too.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
As my cousin, I'm skimming skins for women and for men,
and how this summer street. Don know how you got
the beach. It's a beach, yes, big side of that
dry white cash. You should take your melon. You can
still get melanoma. It's made wick a cow while Vocado
and her home, and it smoldy.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Purpose.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
You could use it for your lows women. Let the
sun make it mad, make it go, you go, wish
you gotta win the fine linest on the show. If
you want to protect your skin crane, make sure you
get some black Girl signscreen. Black girl, you're on gunnandagum
sign being just lit on your Black Girls sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So I saw a video that I sent to both
of you all of a woman talking about her being
on a group trip, and she was, in my opinion
projecting like, Okay, if y'all don't pay my way, my
flight in my hotel, you cannot dictate what I'm doing,
So do not give me that itinerary. I do not
(13:13):
want to go on excursions. I don't have to meet
you at your at your main event dinner. I don't
have to do anything that you want me to do
because you ain't paying my way. I need to understand
how we're feeling about this, because there's a lot of
conversation about just group trips and there's always one hater,
there's always one bad apple on a trip. Was she
the bad apple? Or does she have a valid point?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
I can see her point because I I'll do the excursions.
I don't want to do them, but I'm not gonna
be that bad apple to ruin the vibe of the trip.
So I'll participate reluctantly and have fun reluctantly. But yeah,
I get what she's saying.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I get what she's saying, but I just assume not
go because I don't want to bring anybody else down.
If I know that it's a trip that's going to
be full of excursions and plan dinners and just an itinerary,
I probably will sit that one out because I would
prefer when I go on vacation to do nothing. So yeah,
(14:18):
I understand where she's coming from. So I wouldn't put
myself in that position.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Have you all traveled with girlfriends before?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I've done two group trips, I have.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I've only traveled with like one other person. So you know,
our early days we would share a room, and then
our later days, as we got older, we would have
different rooms. I just felt like personal space was important,
and then sometimes you just need your just time to
like just decompress, and especially if you've been with a
person all day. Okay, So am I going to comply
(14:52):
with all itinerary stuff on a group trip? No, that's
not for me. And I would probably tell the hosts like,
oh my gosh, I'm so excited to come here. Here's
what I'm I know myself. At five o'clock, you know,
excursion or five o'clock call time to get on the
bus to drive three hours and then to do something
(15:13):
like you know, chase chickens and then have some lunch
that you know was like a I don't know, a
tuna sandwich. I don't eat damn tuna. And then you
know I have to drive back three hours. I'm good. Yeah,
Oh I'm super good. I'm gonna eat my hotel breakfast
and I'm gonna be at the beach doing whatever I
want to do. See how when you get back, because
(15:34):
then they got a dinner planned. That's fair Okay, are
y'all wearing colors special colors for the trip the outfice, So.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
There's an itinerary and a dress code.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, not a dress code, just like, hey, we're all
gonna wear blue on Now.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I've seen on trips where like everybody's in matching T
shirts and it has like air that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Oh dang, no part.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Really I am.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I don't like dressing up like.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Everybody ouse if you didn't invite it, not at all.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Because I feel like they know me, they know me.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Mh, I'm doing I'm wearing the shirt, I'm wearing the
colors me too.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yep. Yeah, I'm gonna have fun with it.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Dang.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Believe I know, I know, party pooper. Maybe you just
haven't had that experience for your like, you know what,
this was cool, This was cool.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I just know myself really well, you know, and I
know what I enjoy and what I don't. And I
think I'm just at a point in my life where
I'm not going to put myself into situations that I
don't enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Okay, what about bringing your man's, your spousees, or your
partners on trips if it's not a couple trip, leave
him home. Okay, that's my opinion. Couple trips.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
He's my favorite person to travel with. So we're just
gonna go on our own trip, all right. Yeah, not
a couple of trips either. Oh my gosh, I'm so
anti social.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's all right, it depends I like somebody to push
my bags around. Make sure you know we're gonna catch
the uber. So so you know, my partner is a verb,
not a nown, so if that makes sense, verb not
a noun. So if I go, if if he's coming
somewhere with me, it's stress free. Oh yeah, I don't
(17:34):
got to worry about nothing. I don't need to understand
conversion rates. I don't need to know the training schedule.
But I did book the trip though, Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
So Diddy right now, they talking about if Diddy should testify.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh I don't think he should.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I do not think he should testify, Absolutely not.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
He would open himself up side every single thing if
he got on that stand.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I remember when the video brokeize, well, and that's what
I was going to mention though, when the video broke
of the hotel situation with Cassie and somebody on his
team thought it was a good idea for him to
put a video out apologizing, and I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
When he was a Balihidi.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, I thought it was after he categorically denied it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, so I think it's best that he let his
attorneys handle all of the talking.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I agree, Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I'm in partial. I would need to see how the
case continues to I think.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I think for anyone who's on the defense, it takes
a lot of preparation to take the stand in your
own defense, and you really have to be prepared for
anything that comes up. But there's there's several casion, no case,
there's always more than one side to the story, right, absolutely,
(19:11):
I don't know absolutely.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
At this point, heard him, Oh yes, yeah, I was
about to say, yeah, so let's say, if Diddy gets off,
is he canceled.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
If he's canceled, he can still make music, but I
don't it'll never be the same for him, Okay, like
like a Chris Brown, Right, I think with him it'll
probably be.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Worse than a Chris Brown situation.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Mhmm.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
But I do think that there are people that will
continue to support him regardless of what absoluteless I mean,
you see that now.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
They still support our Kelly.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
They're just people who no matter what comes out or
has come out in the trial, they are still free Diddy.
So I think if he somehow manages to get out
of all of this, there will be people that still
are going to support him and his music and his projects.
(20:10):
But I agree with Francis, it would will never be
the same because there are some people that will never
want to have anything to do with him or anything
that he might produce.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Again, I got two one minute questions, okay, okay. Thoughts
on the plantation that burned down?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Okay, so it didn't burn down sooner that Yeah, it's
a plantation. Yeah, why people want to have weddings that
a plantation?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Should the celebrities that had weddings and the plantations be
canceled because there's a couple of celebrities that have gotten
married on plantations. Yeah, I know one couple and they're
going through it right now and probably in court. Yeah,
a whole case. But they should have been canceled a
long time ago if they got married on the plantation.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Yeah, they should have been But cancel being canceled wasn't
even a thing then, Okay, shared black people really wear
sunscreen absolutely, of course, don't just say that because you
work for BGS.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I've worked before I worked for BGS. I think it's
just a matter of people not knowing. And we've talked
to you enough people across the country that just said
I didn't know because sunscreen companies never spoke to black people,
so there was never a reason to believe that it
was for us or that we needed it in any way.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
So I used to wear sunscreen before Black Girls Sunscreen,
but I was very inconsistent with it. I'm extremely consistent
and intentional now with the wear in sunscreen daily.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, I think that people have got all people should
wear it. You know, for us, we're learning a little
bit too late. We've gotten the sunburn. It hurts, you know,
our face is peeling, and it's just like, oh, I
still need sunscreen. So we're gonna come back to that.
Let's do our little our little year. Okay, I'll continue
it up today, Kimberly and Francis, this is how the
(22:06):
game goes. Okay, we're gonna do a round of questions
and you respond yet or no, we're gonna round robin it. Okay,
I'm gonna start and I'm gonna ask Kimberly and then
go to Francis and then okay.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Okay, so.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Kimberly yes. Debating people in the comment section mm hmmmmmm.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
No, no, no, I don't have time for that.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Okay, telling someone they look nice when they don't. We
know Kimberly does because she says big questions coming.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I do because I can tell when people are putting
an effort.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So they don't look nice, and you say they look nice.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Well, I wouldn't say they don't look nice.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
No, we don't want you to do that. No, she's
saying they don't look nice, but you're telling them they
do look nice.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It's because everybody needs a compliment. Everybody needs to be
I can always find something about someone that is nice.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
I love your nails, Okay, cool, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I don't tell people they look nice when they don't
look nice. I don't do that. I will say I
love your glasses, or I will say that's a pretty color. Sure, Okay,
there's always something, always something, Okay. Ordering the most expensive
item on the menu.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Nah, I'm still not about that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Oh lord, I don't look at prices on menus. Were here,
you already know what the menu is. Let's not go
to a steakhouse and you want somebody to order the
chicken or a pasta dish or salad, you know, especially
(23:57):
if you eat steak. That's all I'm saying. So you
know you know the setup, right, talk about somebody else's mama. No, no, never,
I do not.
Speaker 6 (24:12):

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Unsubscribing from an email list and then immediately resubscribing for

Okay, Now, got time I actually click off the box. Okay,

Oh yeah, I'm guilty of that all day long.

Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Sometimes switching your voice on the phone with work people.

I just did last night.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
What do you say, I've never done that again, But
I'm not an argue person. But I don't get that right.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
You gotta do it right. So it's like after every word,
like with intention are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
No, because I can have intention with my words without that.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
All right, she's shut with the tongue, y'all. But but
it will spice it up with that clap. Okay. Correcting
someone who mispronounces your name more than once.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yes, my last name is easy to mispronounce. It happens
all the time.
Speaker 5 (25:53):

additional four more hours. Yes, on the phone, scrolling shoop

Actually, put my phone to this. That's not the last
thing I see at night.

The following is a paid commercial by Black Girls Sunscreen.
The views expressed our those of the sponsor and not
iHeartMedia or this station. Welcome to Shamelessly Chante. Yeah, with
your host Shanta Lundy the money.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm your host, Shantay Lundy.
But yeah, but there's been a lot happening right in
front of our eyes. Some huge social moments that are
shaping our society have us questioning our own thoughts and beliefs,
have us questioning our livelihood and how do we exist
(00:41):
in this world. So some of the things that have.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You know, come up, I think are just reacting to
pop culture drama, discussion how social media is shaping our
real life friendships, business, mental health. So there are some
topics that I wanted to kind of float by you
two just have a conversation about, okay, and social moments.
You all is us breaking down viral trend reacting to
(01:07):
pop cultural drama and discussing how social media is shaping
real life friendships, business, and mental health. Okay, just for
a recap. Let's start here because I'm in this space, okay,
and we debate about it. We debate if already rich
(01:27):
people should already rich people have quote unquote side hustles. Now,
let me explain what this question means. Okay, so a
rich person would qualify as someone that has wealth significant wealth,
has created a lane in an industry. So think of musician,
(01:49):
movie star, somebody that's big, okay, has a name and
then starts, I don't know, a shoe company, for a
liver company. So what do we think about rich people
having side hustles? Like they just pop up, like, oh
my god, this has been a passion project of mine
(02:09):
for ten years. What do you all think about that?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Sometimes it seems like a bit of a money grab,
to be honest with you. They are capitalizing on the
fame and popularity that they already have, be it from
music or from film, and then just taking that into
liquor or to fashion, and you know, in some cases
it might seem authentic. I guess if maybe it truly
(02:37):
was something they were always passionate about, but they just
kind of fell into this other career and they were
incredibly successful. But to me, sometimes it does feel like
a money grab.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Does so there have been some successful ones just in beauty, yes, yeah,
and we can name, we can name Rare beauty, we
can name fenty beauty. You know, then we have sacred happening.
You know right now that's a lot of eyes on
sacred because of the tour. But we can The list
can go on and on and on. Some of them
(03:10):
go on to be extremely lucrative and successful and then others, Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I can think of one. This goes back a little bit.
But Jessica Simpson, I mean, her shoe brand far exceeded
any success that she had as do they still have
sing styles?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And Macy's.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
That I don't know where it's at still.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I think she's still in some of the more mean
stream department stores, certainly online.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah. So does this not like rub anybody the wrong way?
Like as a as a Okay, let me talk about
my experience. There are celebrities in some care for me,
current chante, mature chante, understand business. I can appreciate more
(04:03):
voices in the space so we can all hold hands
and bring awareness to sun safety. I remember when a
certain haircare brand launched in during COVID and the haircare
founders were upset because this brand went on a circuit
of press. So she was on you know, every morning show,
(04:26):
radio shows. I mean, she was picked up instantly by
all the like social media platforms, and it just kind
of like overshadowed anybody that had done work in hair,
and still today that person is getting recognition for the brand,
their brand, and it's like squashing the founders that were
(04:48):
literally in the kitchen creating their own formulas. So we've
gotten over it, but it hurt, right because when you
come from a family already that has wealth, when you
come from you know, successful careers in other industries, it's
kind of like, as black women, can we invest in
(05:10):
each other as opposed to now, you know, entering a
space that causes like competition. That's how I feel about it.
I would prefer the person and we can't tell anybody
what to do with their money and invest in the
others because you already got your bag.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
True.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I feel that.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
It's kind of twofold because in business you learn should
have multiple streams of income. So I look at it
from that standpoint because their career, be it acting or
being a musical artist, it'll fizzle out at some point.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
But then you have.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
When you go on tour and you make one hundred
million dollars. Okay, that's not every but you go for life.
You saw your beauty company, You get to one hundred
million dollars one time. The artists go on tour and
make that several times.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, but why can't they still work?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Okay? Should we bring back segregation?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Oh gosh, okay. So I definitely have a position on this.
I think I remember when that post hit and I thought, hmm, okay,
is this to create a viral moment or are we
being serious here? Because I feel like it's something very
easy to say. But if you really think about segregation
(06:42):
historically from a historical perspective, So it was in nineteen
fifty four right where the Supreme Court ruled that it
was unconstitutional. It took the country though another ten years
after that to truly like end segregation in all of
the gym cro laws. But what made it unconstitutional was
(07:06):
that it truly wasn't equal. I mean the whole idea
of separate but equal. So unless you're starting out on
equal footing, how can it truly ever be equal? And
you have another group or another community to this far
ahead and has great wealth already established, and you have
another community that just will never be able to get
(07:28):
there because they're starting like below ground zero. So fast
forward to today, and why it still won't work is
because there's still this incredible disparity in wealth. So even
though you have people of color, black people specific specifically
who are very successful, still when you make the comparison
(07:49):
between the majority, there's there is no comparison to be made.
So I still believe that you would have the same
situation that because we're not on equal footing, it wouldn't
truly be separate but equal. So and I have a
few numbers that just really quickly to the point of
(08:10):
income disparity. So if you look at in this country nationally,
the median wealth for a white family is two hundred
and eighty five thousand, for black family it's forty four.
So that's median. And then if you go city by city,
so LA for white family three fifty five, two hundred
(08:33):
and fifty five thousand, for black family four thousand, So
in the major cities it's it's far worse. So again
I just think that it sounds interesting, it's an interesting discussion,
but if you really dig into the numbers and understand
why it didn't work the first time, we haven't progressed
far enough that it would work today.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So what's going on? How Black Girls sun Screen?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
So I want to highlight the sunscreen that every girl
needs when she's on the go. Make It Glow SPF thirty.
If you love our queen Black Girls Sunscreen SPF thirty,
you'll love Make It Glow.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
One's a lotion. One's a spray.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Our lightweight continuous sunscreen spray applies to the body evenly,
leaving a layer of sun protection from harmful UVA and
UVB rates infused with glycerine, jehoba and avocado to help
moisturize your skin. Make It Glow leaves all the skin
tones and skin types with a radiant glow for on
the go. Make It Glow can be used on the
(09:32):
face and body, has no parabins, leaves a dry touch finish,
no mess, no white casts. We have a travel friendly
size which comes in three ounces, and we have a
five ounce size just in case you need a little
bit more. You can find Make It Glow at Alta, CBS, Walmart,
and of course Black Girls Sunscreen dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yes, so here's how I'm using my MiG. Make It
Glow MiG is an internal word. But I'm mixing make
it Glow with a little bit of bronzer to give
me that glistening, nice effect. Yeah, so I'm protected with
the sunscreen. And then of course I got a layer
in the sexiness, because why not?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
That's how I use mine, Okay. And when I don't
feel like rubbing sunscreen in, I just want to be
on the go, be quick, be quick. Yeahah, and sometimes
I'll pull in the spring plate. But anyway, so wait,
where can we find make a glow black Girls Sunscreen
dot Com? What retailers can we find make it Glow in?
Speaker 6 (10:27):
I have Ulta okay, CVS okay, and Walmart and Walmart.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's all. That's all I got off the top of
my dome. Okay, So Walmart, let's start with Alta, so
you can find most of our products in Alta. But yes,
you can definitely find her in Alta. You can find
her in CVS. And I don't want to say Walgreen, Okay,
I want to say both and make it glow five
ounce in Walmart.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yes, we love bigger sizes because that three ounce goes.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's supposed to go, right if you're wearing your sunscreen. Properly.
You know this is gonna last you on maybe one trip,
maybe one. This is this is a message to all
the folks that buy one sunscreen a year and sing
it's supposed to last. That means that you're not properly
wearing the sunscreen and the amount that you're supposed to
wear correct this three ounces does not last you one year.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
You're supposed to reapply every eighty minutes, and if you're
in the water, reapply when you get out the water.
If you're sweating a lot, you want to reapply less
than the eighty minutes, so water sweating, and.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
If you want to be cute, So I just want
to really hone this message in. If you're buying just
one sunscreen, it doesn't matter if it's a spray, if
it is the lotion, or even the five ounce. If
you're only buying one a year, it is not sufficient
and we're gonna leave it at that.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I can use a tube in a month because I reapply.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And you're listening to Shameless.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
If you want to present your skin cray, make sure
you get some black Girl sunscreen. Black Girl, your ain
gunnandageum sign bab just lit on your black Girl signscreen
blacky black, don't crack.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But people get sun burned too.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
As my cousin, I'm skimming skins for women and for men,
and how this summer street. Don know how you got
the beach. It's a beach, yes, big side of that
dry white cash. You should take your melon. You can
still get melanoma. It's made wick a cow while Vocado
and her home, and it smoldy.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Purpose.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
You could use it for your lows women. Let the
sun make it mad, make it go, you go, wish
you gotta win the fine linest on the show. If
you want to protect your skin crane, make sure you
get some black Girl signscreen. Black girl, you're on gunnandagum
sign being just lit on your Black Girls sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So I saw a video that I sent to both
of you all of a woman talking about her being
on a group trip, and she was, in my opinion
projecting like, Okay, if y'all don't pay my way, my
flight in my hotel, you cannot dictate what I'm doing,
So do not give me that itinerary. I do not
(13:13):
want to go on excursions. I don't have to meet
you at your at your main event dinner. I don't
have to do anything that you want me to do
because you ain't paying my way. I need to understand
how we're feeling about this, because there's a lot of
conversation about just group trips and there's always one hater,
there's always one bad apple on a trip. Was she
the bad apple? Or does she have a valid point?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
I can see her point because I I'll do the excursions.
I don't want to do them, but I'm not gonna
be that bad apple to ruin the vibe of the trip.
So I'll participate reluctantly and have fun reluctantly. But yeah,
I get what she's saying.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I get what she's saying, but I just assume not
go because I don't want to bring anybody else down.
If I know that it's a trip that's going to
be full of excursions and plan dinners and just an itinerary,
I probably will sit that one out because I would
prefer when I go on vacation to do nothing. So yeah,
(14:18):
I understand where she's coming from. So I wouldn't put
myself in that position.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Have you all traveled with girlfriends before?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I've done two group trips, I have.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I've only traveled with like one other person. So you know,
our early days we would share a room, and then
our later days, as we got older, we would have
different rooms. I just felt like personal space was important,
and then sometimes you just need your just time to
like just decompress, and especially if you've been with a
person all day. Okay, So am I going to comply
(14:52):
with all itinerary stuff on a group trip? No, that's
not for me. And I would probably tell the hosts like,
oh my gosh, I'm so excited to come here. Here's
what I'm I know myself. At five o'clock, you know,
excursion or five o'clock call time to get on the
bus to drive three hours and then to do something
(15:13):
like you know, chase chickens and then have some lunch
that you know was like a I don't know, a
tuna sandwich. I don't eat damn tuna. And then you
know I have to drive back three hours. I'm good. Yeah,
Oh I'm super good. I'm gonna eat my hotel breakfast
and I'm gonna be at the beach doing whatever I
want to do. See how when you get back, because
(15:34):
then they got a dinner planned. That's fair Okay, are
y'all wearing colors special colors for the trip the outfice, So.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
There's an itinerary and a dress code.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, not a dress code, just like, hey, we're all
gonna wear blue on Now.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I've seen on trips where like everybody's in matching T
shirts and it has like air that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Oh dang, no part.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Really I am.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I don't like dressing up like.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Everybody ouse if you didn't invite it, not at all.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Because I feel like they know me, they know me.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Mh, I'm doing I'm wearing the shirt, I'm wearing the
colors me too.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yep. Yeah, I'm gonna have fun with it.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Dang.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Believe I know, I know, party pooper. Maybe you just
haven't had that experience for your like, you know what,
this was cool, This was cool.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I just know myself really well, you know, and I
know what I enjoy and what I don't. And I
think I'm just at a point in my life where
I'm not going to put myself into situations that I
don't enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Okay, what about bringing your man's, your spousees, or your
partners on trips if it's not a couple trip, leave
him home. Okay, that's my opinion. Couple trips.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
He's my favorite person to travel with. So we're just
gonna go on our own trip, all right. Yeah, not
a couple of trips either. Oh my gosh, I'm so
anti social.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's all right, it depends I like somebody to push
my bags around. Make sure you know we're gonna catch
the uber. So so you know, my partner is a verb,
not a nown, so if that makes sense, verb not
a noun. So if I go, if if he's coming
somewhere with me, it's stress free. Oh yeah, I don't
(17:34):
got to worry about nothing. I don't need to understand
conversion rates. I don't need to know the training schedule.
But I did book the trip though, Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
So Diddy right now, they talking about if Diddy should testify.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh I don't think he should.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I do not think he should testify, Absolutely not.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
He would open himself up side every single thing if
he got on that stand.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I remember when the video brokeize, well, and that's what
I was going to mention though, when the video broke
of the hotel situation with Cassie and somebody on his
team thought it was a good idea for him to
put a video out apologizing, and I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
When he was a Balihidi.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, I thought it was after he categorically denied it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, so I think it's best that he let his
attorneys handle all of the talking.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I agree, Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I'm in partial. I would need to see how the
case continues to I think.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I think for anyone who's on the defense, it takes
a lot of preparation to take the stand in your
own defense, and you really have to be prepared for
anything that comes up. But there's there's several casion, no case,
there's always more than one side to the story, right, absolutely,
(19:11):
I don't know absolutely.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
At this point, heard him, Oh yes, yeah, I was
about to say, yeah, so let's say, if Diddy gets off,
is he canceled.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
If he's canceled, he can still make music, but I
don't it'll never be the same for him, Okay, like
like a Chris Brown, Right, I think with him it'll
probably be.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Worse than a Chris Brown situation.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Mhmm.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
But I do think that there are people that will
continue to support him regardless of what absoluteless I mean,
you see that now.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
They still support our Kelly.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
They're just people who no matter what comes out or
has come out in the trial, they are still free Diddy.
So I think if he somehow manages to get out
of all of this, there will be people that still
are going to support him and his music and his projects.
(20:10):
But I agree with Francis, it would will never be
the same because there are some people that will never
want to have anything to do with him or anything
that he might produce.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Again, I got two one minute questions, okay, okay. Thoughts
on the plantation that burned down?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Okay, so it didn't burn down sooner that Yeah, it's
a plantation. Yeah, why people want to have weddings that
a plantation?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Should the celebrities that had weddings and the plantations be
canceled because there's a couple of celebrities that have gotten
married on plantations. Yeah, I know one couple and they're
going through it right now and probably in court. Yeah,
a whole case. But they should have been canceled a
long time ago if they got married on the plantation.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Yeah, they should have been But cancel being canceled wasn't
even a thing then, Okay, shared black people really wear
sunscreen absolutely, of course, don't just say that because you
work for BGS.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I've worked before I worked for BGS. I think it's
just a matter of people not knowing. And we've talked
to you enough people across the country that just said
I didn't know because sunscreen companies never spoke to black people,
so there was never a reason to believe that it
was for us or that we needed it in any way.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
So I used to wear sunscreen before Black Girls Sunscreen,
but I was very inconsistent with it. I'm extremely consistent
and intentional now with the wear in sunscreen daily.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, I think that people have got all people should
wear it. You know, for us, we're learning a little
bit too late. We've gotten the sunburn. It hurts, you know,
our face is peeling, and it's just like, oh, I
still need sunscreen. So we're gonna come back to that.
Let's do our little our little year. Okay, I'll continue
it up today, Kimberly and Francis, this is how the
(22:06):
game goes. Okay, we're gonna do a round of questions
and you respond yet or no, we're gonna round robin it. Okay,
I'm gonna start and I'm gonna ask Kimberly and then
go to Francis and then okay.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Okay, so.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Kimberly yes. Debating people in the comment section mm hmmmmmm.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
No, no, no, I don't have time for that.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Okay, telling someone they look nice when they don't. We
know Kimberly does because she says big questions coming.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I do because I can tell when people are putting
an effort.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So they don't look nice, and you say they look nice.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Well, I wouldn't say they don't look nice.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
No, we don't want you to do that. No, she's
saying they don't look nice, but you're telling them they
do look nice.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It's because everybody needs a compliment. Everybody needs to be
I can always find something about someone that is nice.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
I love your nails, Okay, cool, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I don't tell people they look nice when they don't
look nice. I don't do that. I will say I
love your glasses, or I will say that's a pretty color. Sure, Okay,
there's always something, always something, Okay. Ordering the most expensive
item on the menu.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Nah, I'm still not about that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Oh lord, I don't look at prices on menus. Were here,
you already know what the menu is. Let's not go
to a steakhouse and you want somebody to order the
chicken or a pasta dish or salad, you know, especially
(23:57):
if you eat steak. That's all I'm saying. So you
know you know the setup, right, talk about somebody else's mama. No, no, never,
I do not.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Okay, I'm just kidding. Okay, and my younger no, no, no, neither,
because you're not talking about mine.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Unsubscribing from an email list and then immediately resubscribing for
the discount, I.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Can say, oh sorry, I've never done that, but it's good, right, Yeah, yeah,

Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Sometimes switching your voice on the phone with work people.

I just did last night.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
What do you say, I've never done that again, But
I'm not an argue person. But I don't get that right.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
You gotta do it right. So it's like after every word,
like with intention are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
No, because I can have intention with my words without that.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
All right, she's shut with the tongue, y'all. But but
it will spice it up with that clap. Okay. Correcting
someone who mispronounces your name more than once.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yes, my last name is easy to mispronounce. It happens
all the time.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Mm hmmm, Yes, and I'm correcting the spelling.
