Speaker 1 (00:00):
And speaking about real networking. It's my favorite thing when
our entrepreneurs for Wealth Building Wednesday land in the studio
live and in person, I get to shake their hand.
That's what I think real networking is about, in person,
in real life. Look, i'll take it if you're on
the phone, but it's always my favorite thing when folks
come in and so now I get that wish. She's
(00:22):
an La native and a candle maker, the candle maker
behind the House of Mosaic Candles. She started making candles
back in twenty sixteen because she was fed up with traffic.
I'll let her explain. Tony Shaw, owner of House of
Mosaic Candles, Good morning, good morning, Thank you for having me. Yeah,
it sounds very timely for the season. Mosaic Candles is
(00:45):
giving holiday season in just the name.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, we have a variety of holiday sins and the
mosaic actually stems from me also being a stained glass
mosaic artist. So similar to you know Walt Disney tie
their perry. You know, everything was going to be under
the House of Moaic umbrella. So now we have house
some Mosaic Candles.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Wow, well, congrats on that. It's hue. So you just
tired of driving.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, so, my favorite candle store at the time was
located in Culver City and they relocated to Santa Monica, hence,
you know, getting on that ten Freeway always hitting traffic,
and then where they were located didn't have parking. So
I did it a couple of times, and I'm like,
you know what, this is not working for me anymore.
(01:33):
I'm gonna learn how to make my own candles. That's
a little bit of the aries blood.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But you know, okay that your way or the highway
the highway.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So, so basically you were inspired by the terrible LA
traffic to d I Y T d I Y. And
obviously you love candles or you wouldn't have been that
important to you to drive through traffic to get the
dog on things. So then you started making your own
And how does that turn into a full time I'm
House of Mosaic Candles experience.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah so, And I will admit I made a bunch
of very bad candles to start out with until I
found someone who was willing to take me under their
wing and teach me the ways of the wax and
the wick. And I started right here locally. I'm a
local girl. I literally could have walked here, but started
(02:26):
at the Creunshaw Farmers Market and you know, just getting
feedback from friends and family and like you said, twenty
sixteen and I'm blessed to be here nine years later,
still still at the Creunshaw Mall on Saturdays and online
and doing various pop ups throughout La County.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So wow. So when you made them for yourself, you thought, well,
these are pretty good, maybe some other folks would like them,
but people were probably begging you for the candles all
the time. Well I did.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I would give them to a friends and family and
to some of the people that I work with, and
they were very honest and I appreciated that they're like,
you know, not quite there. And then when they finally
gave me the the stamp of approval.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So now like my sister, she's she's coming to my
stash constantly as well as my nieces, which I appreciate.
You know, that means I'm doing something right.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So you're mostly selling online and in pop ups?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Correct?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So, like I said, every Saturday usually I'm at the
Baldwin Hills Mall at the Crenshaw Hills Farmer's Market, definitely
have the website presence and looking to pivot a little
bit for twenty twenty six and try to do more
B to B and also to find some retail locations.
I was in a couple of retail locations coffee shops,
(03:52):
but unfortunately they closed, so I'm looking to re establish
in the retail space as well.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, so we've got to if we have an amazing
retailer out there that's thinking that they want to have,
you know, something new in their store, they can maybe
reach out to you. House of Mosaiccandles dot com is
the website. If you don't know how to spell mosaic,
it's mos Aic mosaic Housi Mosaiccandles dot com. So we
(04:19):
can shop right now. Would we get them in time
for Xmas or Kwanza?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Uh, let's see, we're yes. Oh yeah, we're a couple
of weeks out of outside of Christmas. And the great thing,
because I'm local, I do offer delivery. I was actually
delivering candles last night. So if your local la I
will bring them to you, you can save on the shipping. Otherwise,
if they're going anywhere in the United States, the sooner
(04:44):
the better you know the post offices. Uh, it could
be tricky, but you know, I'll save you from being
in the post office lines. I'll do all the delivery
for you.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wow. Okay, So we can still get these as holiday gifts,
get them delivered to us. And you are very creative
with your candles. You have lots of different kinds of candles,
you pay tribute, you have different colored jars. Yes, why
is that important?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, I think it just speaks to the aesthetic. I
wanted to make a quality, premium candle that was affordable.
I mean a lot of times, you know, before this experience,
you know, you know, you get something at your local
you know, big lots target that kind of thing, but
(05:33):
probably it didn't permeate the room. So I wanted to
provide something that was you know, pretty, but the main
thing is that it's going to permeate the room. We
now offer a woodwig candle, which gives you the added
benefit of the crackle of the wood. So just wanted
to offer a variety of options for woodwig candles.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Are those like kind of for a technicular looking wick, yeah,
as opposed to the thread kind. Then you have them
in hands.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We have them in the paint tins. We have amber jars,
we have we have our Minis bundles which are in
our Minis tins. So just yeah, a variety of offerings
for people at different price points. And we do have
a gift bundles, so for anyone who just says, hey,
I just want to give it as a gift, we
(06:22):
have some pre curated bundles as well.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I love the different names and the different I guess flavors.
Sense it's not flavored, don't you don't eat it? Yes,
you have a candle called Cringshaw.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That is just fruity goodness. That's a lime, orange, cherry
and vanilla, and it just speaks of the vibrancy of
the Crenshaw community, which I'm a part of. You know,
you can find a little bit of everything on Crenshaw
and it's it's just you know, it brings you joy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I mean that's part of the thing that would make
these really fun gifts. You have one called All the Vibes.
What's that said?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, so that one is a narroli that has some
fluoral nodes as well as some musky notes.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And I think that was like.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Just just an old too, you know, just having fun.
Let's just let's just you know, be in our vibes
and you know, especially in these trying times, you know,
just trying to find the grace and the goodness where
we can.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Then I feel like Caribbean teak wood. That's probably self
self explanatory, Eat, beach, sleep, repeat, Maybe probably self gammy
sweet potato pie flavored candle, but that seems self explanatory too.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yes, So you know, I say, have the the goodness
of the sweet potato pie without the calories.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Not only that, if you can't cook, you can make
it seem.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Like you are, you know, coming to the house.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I cooked that sweet potato pie
knowing you got it from Sprouse Yet or you know,
Patty Label or whatever. Fresh cut roses seems self explained to.
Candles can be really expensive, though, I know, because I'm
a candle person.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, and again that was I was very intentional about pricing,
even for people that have been with me since twenty sixteen.
I've only really increased my prices a few times, you know,
due to you know, tariffs and everything everything going up.
But I did want to keep them at a price
(08:30):
point that I think was affordable. We do have specials
going on throughout the year. But the best thing about
these candles or that they're a vegan blend of coconut
soy wax. They are made with premium candle fragrance oils
that I have a money back guarantee. You know, if
they don't permeate the room, you know, come back to me.
(08:51):
Let me make it right up into including returning.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Permeate the room. You want the whole room to smell
like whatever that is. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes when I
get my on sale, you know, somewhere bargain bind candles,
they don't you know, you get a little faint smell buses.
You gotta be right up on that bad boy mine.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You'll know they're burning.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What is Lamert Park smell like?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh my god, Park is a fruity floral blend. So again,
you know, having been in the community, you know, I
remember when we were South Central and all these negative
stereotypes and that's not you know, people that are from
and in the community know that's not what we're about.
We're about community and taking care of each other and
(09:37):
having fun and support. And so that one is a
like I said, a merge of of both fruity and
floral notes, so some jasmine, some rose.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Some citrus. Of course I like it. I work in
Lahmurt Park every day, but I can totally see giving
someone a Lamert Park candle for Kwanza. Or you have
an inglewood one too.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And that's a Polo santo and grapefruit land so you
get the bouts of the earthy and the floral.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
That sounds wonderful.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Actually, oh that's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, so you have all the places I worked, No,
there's no San Francisco. Well you have all my la places.
Idris Elbow. Do you have Elbow candle?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We we can dream and fantasize. And when I dream,
when I smell that one, I'm like Idris coming out
the shower.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You know, just listen. She has a Michael Jordan. I'm glad.
You know you got you threw in a black American
actor in there too.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And people always ask me about these names, and you know,
it's it's just what hits me when I smelled the candle,
and uh, you know the first thought.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's your inspiration.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The inspiration. We have the Michelle Obama and the Barack
Baraque come on the first family forever, first family.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, those seem like they would be good presence too,
especially if you have you know, that's something you know
Grandma and mom might like. You know, you got your
Michelle Obama can't candle the goat.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So that was in honor of Muhammad Ali's is the
greatest of all time?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh yeah, I need that one. Yeah. Yeah, that's a black.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Sea scentse so it was earthy. Yeah, that's a favorite
as well.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Is that okay? So why do we care that it's
vegan and whatever else? You said?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Absolutely, So you want to make sure that we're using
sustainable products both in our homes and on our bodies
of course. So you know, most of most of the candles,
especially the less expensive ones, are made from paraffin wax,
which is carbon based. So you know we're talking about
you know, you know, petroleum base and that can if
(11:53):
you're burning those kinds of candles, you're having that in
your in your intimate, your atmosphere in your house. So
you want something that's a vegan, clean burning, non toxic,
so that you know we're not taking that into our bodies.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, petroleum based product is basically the same thing they
make that's why I'm always encouraging people not to use
vacoline on our skin. I know, you guys want to
take my black cars. She don't like hot sauce, and
she wants us to stop using vacaline. But vacolini is
a petroleum product. We are not cars. No, so you know,
(12:29):
use shape butter right. It'll last just as long. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It's non toxic. I'm actually also a member of Black
Women for Wellness with your neighbor across the street, and
we're talking about beauty justice. And you know, again like
you're saying vascline on our skin, you know, looking at
the labels of our products that we put in our hair,
on our lips, on our face, and you know, why
are there rising rates of cancer? Why are you know
(12:57):
there's so many health elements. It's because all these chemicals.
I mean, if you can't even pronounce it, why are we,
you know, using it in our house and having it
on our bodies.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, well, we're going to get a little bit deeper
into that and yeah, and your entrepreneurial journey when we
come forward. Tony Shaw is my guest house of mosaiccandles
dot com ms, I a ms A I see mosaicic
just what like? It sounds like House of Mosaic Candles
dot com is the main place to buy or I
(13:26):
guess we can stop buy the Crenshaw Farmers and Market
that's happening Saturdays over at the mall. And I guess well,
we'll talk more about that when we come forward. KBLA
Talk fifteen eighty unhaws, my guests, we are talking about
House of Mosaic Candles. I just followed you on Instagram.
It's surprise, surprise, it's called House of Mosaic Candles. And
(13:49):
I guess this is where we can track the pop
ups if we want to see. So many businesses now
are functioning on Instagram where you can follow where you're
going to be, from food trucks to vendors.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, yeah, I usually post where I'm gonna be, uh so, yeah,
please follow me on Instagram House and Moseic Candles and
you can uh find me anywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, I noticed your website has a need help number
this three one O six two five nine twenty four
three one O six two five two nine two four.
Is that another way we can order? Can we?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Because I know everyone's not on all the tech and
please give me a call. You can reach me there
and I can take all the information and send h
you know, and and emailed uh invoice or you know,
take a payment another way.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So yeah, yeah, I'm way too much of my life
as virtual. But I think there are lots of folks
that still prefer that customer service of being able to
call you then you could deliver it. You can have
all your quans of shopping done in one stop. I
got you H three one o six two five twenty
nine twenty four three six two five twenty four. I
see you have house of Mosaic Workshop. Is that something
(15:02):
we need to know? That patch on your jacket which
looks like a Ronnie Girl running poet Ronnie Girl brand
Ronnie Girl.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yes, so how some Mosaic Workshop is the creative side
of my business. So in addition to selling candles, I
also offer candle workshops as well as a brand new
candle bar, so we're if you want to have more
of an experiential moment with me, I do workshops at
(15:31):
I built a home studio at my home so you
can come to my house and take my workshops, or
if you wanted to have something at your home or
I do corporate team builders as well. So yeah, let's
make candles and have fun.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Okay, what's the candle bar?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
So the candle Yes, I'm so glad you asked. So
the candle bar is more of an activation. So let's
say KBLA is having a big event and they would
hire me to bring the candle bar there, so the
guests at your event would have the opportunity to make
candles with me and they can take those away. It's
a way to bring experiences to your event as well
(16:10):
as you know, an instagrammable moment. So yeah, the candlebar
is just a fun activation that I'm trying to expand
on in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh nice, Yeah, I know. That's that's the big thing now,
is experiences over just buying stuff exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I mean, it's nice to have things given to you,
but wouldn't it be even more fun to make it yourself?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah? Yeah, and then you can say that you made
someone something exactly, which you know, of course is partly true,
right right, personalize it. Yeah. So we're talking about non
toxic stuff, and it sounds like you're doing a bit
of a deep dive with that. With black women for Wellness.
I love them. They're on the show, you know from
(16:54):
time to time. How do you track that, like as
an entrepreneur and as a consumer, you know, I think
in really some areas like makeup and hair care products,
it can be pretty urgent.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, yes, and and again I'm learning from the young
leaders that black women for a while, and it's just
to be very conscious of the label, you know, what
to look for, you know, particularly in like skin and
hair products, you know, avoiding the paraffins and the sulfates.
And they actually gave me some websites where, I'm sorry,
(17:30):
some apps where you can scan the bar code on
your product and you can see if it gets you know,
a green seal of you know, less toxic versus red,
which is avoid So just really learning to look at
the labels and understanding that it's something that we need
to be aware of, like you know, all the you know,
our communities are already at risk of you know, all
(17:52):
those different coul morbiditis, you know, the diabetes, the hypertension,
and it's just something we need to be aware of
and be proactive about. You know, we can't grab stuff
off the shelf. We have to understand what we're putting
into our bodies.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, my former hairstylist, Louanna passed away from cancer, and
I just I feel like it was all those products.
You know, she's coloring, she's straightening, she's her whole, just
an incredible stylist and a really nice lady. Lambert Park
resident Lewanna Johnson Rest in peace, lou And I just
(18:27):
think the reason I bring her upside from the fact
that she's a lovely lady, a black woman who died
from cancer, is because we think it's just some airy
fairy thing. Oh, I'm so cool, I use vegan this
and that. No, we're talking about something that could actually
make you sick and die.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, and we and we already you know,
we die too soon in our communities. And I think
there's not enough education, and so I really appreciate being Again,
I can't shout out black women for a wowness enough
for what they do the community.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And we have to tell you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
As soon as I found out, I left their meeting
and I was texting my daughter and my nieces and
my sister to let them know, like, hey, you guys,
this is very important. So once we learn something, we
have to spread the word. We have to tell each
other so that you know we're protecting our community and
putting a veil over our community of knowledge, because that's
how we protect ourselves, knowledge and action and action. Yes, yes,
(19:24):
and we can you know, demand that our local stores,
you know, have these clean our products on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, that's a good point. More go to places like
you House of Mosaic Candles dot com, Napoli Naturals, you know,
the places that around us that do pay attention to
that stuff. So we obviously we can buy your candles online,
we can go to the farmer's market, we can track
your pop ups on Instagram, or call you and get
(19:50):
some help and a big shout out to you, because
it's not easy to start something and not know how
to do it and be bad at it at first
until you you get great at it, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, again, I blame it on the Aris blood. I say,
I'm reformed. I'm not as bad as I was in
my twenties. I'm much better, I like to I asked
for help and that's what got me to this point.
I found somebody who you know, I'm like, hey, I'm
not getting it right, and he was like, come sit
down and let me, let me teach you a thing
or two. So yeah, I am intentional about you know,
(20:24):
reaching out when I need to and and learning. You know,
I'm I'm at a point in life where I want
to learn and experience things.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So so if you if you had a tip for entrepreneurs,
what would it be.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I would definitely tell them that if you have an idea,
get past the analysis paralysis and do it. Put it
out there and get the feedback. And that's really how
you tweak it to be even better. But if if
you just have a great idea and you sit at
your house and you sit on it, nobody will ever
(20:56):
get a chance to experience it. So take that first
step and actually actually do it.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You talking to me, all right, And how can we
support you as an entrepreneur as a black owned business.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So a couple of ways. Definitely, you know, if you've
been a customer, you know, tell a friend. If you're
not a customer, give me a try again. It's it's
about the products, but also the customer service. That's very
important to me to make sure you have the best
experience with my product. If you're a business and you're
looking for gifts for your employees or for your event.
(21:27):
Let's say you're having a panel, you need gifts. I
do amazing bundles. And then again, if you're a retailer
and you're looking for a candle brand, I would love
to talk with you, as well as other brands who
want to expand into candles and they don't want the
hassle of making them. I do white label candles well,
(21:48):
so I make candles for other businesses. So I want
to be your partner both on the consumer and the
business end.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, this looks really really nice. I'm looking at the bundles.
It looks like a great idea for a business, a
wedding or any kind of thing like that. Well, thank
you so much. It's really nice to meet you, Tony Shaw,
House of Mosaiccandles dot com. I hope all of us
will consider that for under the Tree or you know,
under the canara or whatever you're celebrating, just celebrating life.
(22:19):
Best of luck to you.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
All Right, the phone lines are wide open and we'll
talk about it after news, traffic and sports. I'm kbla
talk fifteen eighty holidays, fam, it's you me miles in
the microphone right now, eight hundred and nine to fifteen eighty.
Phone is wide open. I'm getting in that spirit. I
don't put up decorations till after Thanksgiving. I don't want
(22:44):
to hear Christmas carols when we haven't had turkey yet.
But I'm all in now, let's do this good. That's
a good wow. You got skills. Molly Bell's over here
clowning me, She says, I Compton, what no west Side?
I want a Compton California candle. Okay, we'll get you
(23:05):
a Compton California candle. Queen. Your wish is my command.
I did not work in Compton. I did work in Compton,
meaning like I partnered with the Mayor of Compton back
then when it was Mayor Omar Bradley. We did. We
did events, fundraisers for Compton and Centennial High So I
(23:25):
guess that counts.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
It's funny you said, like, what's Lahmert Park smell like?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Like?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
What does Compton smell like? Y'all that's the smell of Compton.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Hmm, smells good. I'm sure it smells good. I have
I'm not that's gonna be up to Molly Bell. She's
the Queen of Compton. But I'm just saying I've done
work for Compton. I got love for Compton, but I
never actually had a job where I went there every day. Okay. Also, Myles,
I figured out, well, I can't say I've totally figured out,
(23:52):
but I started to get a little bit more clarity
about the Diddy conversation because I don't want to be
a hypocrite like I I do believe victims, and I
don't condone the behavior. I do think he got a
raw deal because he's basically in prison for prostitution, which
is something they usually just let people go for, even
(24:14):
though it's across state lines. I know he did a
lot of dirt in the business or allegedly for a
lot of years. What I've figured out is that I
hate to see black men go to prison. I hate
to see us tearing each other down. That's what I
don't like. And two things can be true. Bill Cosby
(24:34):
can be guilty of drugging women and forcing himself on them,
as literally dozens alleged, including some women that I respect,
like Beverley Johnson. And he can be a great artist
who's hilarious, who modeled a more gentle style of parenting,
(24:54):
who gave us a different perception of the black family
on television, donated millions of dollars to HBC using important
Black causes. Did he can be somebody where we saw
it on tape, an alleged domestic violence perp who allegedly
ripped off a lot of people in the industry, you know,
(25:18):
who allegedly got Tupac, you know, and Biggie taken out.
I don't have proof of those things. If I did,
I would have a totally different attitude. And also he
could be the guy that put all these people on,
you know, created the soundtrack for much of our lives.
(25:39):
Was super successful or is a super successful entrepreneur, an innovator,
somebody who tried to get out the vote. Like two
things can be true.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Things can be true at the same Yeah, multiple things.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So I think that's that's what I had to find
peace because, you know, Fahima and some others were kind
of calling me out saying I'm being an apologist, that
I'm trying to minimize the domestic violence or the you
know whatever. His his various transgressions are, I don't want
(26:14):
to get on fifty cents enemy list either. By the way,
did you see him taking down Marlon WANs yesterday? Oh Lord,
have mercy. I have no beef with you, but I
don't like seeing us taking each other down. I don't
like seeing another black man taken down. And I do
not think it's fair that black men don't get the
same forgiveness and the same redemption arc that other people do.
(26:40):
I mean, I think it's very ironic that, you know,
fifty cent is taking down Diddy while elevating Donald Trump,
who is a convicted sexual assaulter, a thirty four time
felon who we you know, who settled out of court
for being people off through Trump University, the things that
(27:02):
he claimed that he claims he's mad at Diddy for
the things Trump has done our way worse than that,
and he's a stand for him. So that double standard
doesn't sit right with me either.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
No, I get you.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
I feel like, like I said before, I really I
can't wait for the time when people do this deep
research and we can get a Trump documentary where somebody
like a you know, like a fifty or time, somebody
who we look at as a mogul in these mediums
can really come in and you know, put their executive
produced stamped on it and give it the you know,
the validity that this document is getting from fifty and
(27:36):
from a partnership with you know in Netflix. So you know,
I think it's only a matter of time, and it's
just another version of it in my opinion, though, I
get you, no dominant, I get you.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's and it's becoming so frequent, you know, it's
like to pick this one off and this one no.
I mean, and look, I get we have to be
accountable for our crimes, but not really because look who's
in the White House.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
I still got to accountable for your crimes.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Okay, well, when is that going to happen for all
of these other folks? When is that going to happen
for Elon Musk? When is that gonna happen for Donald Trump?
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Like documentary style, when is that going to happen?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Documentary jail finds not getting to be president? M Karma.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Karma's on his way way, That's.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
What I'm talking about. Anyway, on to cheer your things.
Maybe you can play that's that Stevie wonder Again, I'm
feeling very Christmassy because Tony brought me a present. My
first holiday season present from Tony Shaw of House of
Mosaic Candles. So I'm going to unbox it. It's in
(28:47):
the cute bag the Tony the House of Mosaic. Oh,
she's got a black woman on the sticker sealing it.
I almost don't want to break this seal because it's
so pretty, but I well, because I want to see
what's inside. Oh good, I didn't have to break it.
I can save this beautiful sticker. Maybe I can put
on the back. I'm like, oh, oh, so cute eucalyptus inspiarment,
(29:12):
Caribbean teak wood, ginger lime. Can you see? These are
the mini candles, the miniature candles and la summer summer nights.
I'll save that one for the summer. Oh, these are
so cute. I got four lovely candles, and I'm definitely
(29:33):
going to go to her website and get some more stuff.
House of Mosaic. Let's smell. Let's see what probably eucalyptus
inspiariment would be good? Yes, delicious, it's green. It's so cute. Okay,
she didn't pay me to do that. I just did
(29:54):
it because I wanted to support a black owned business,
and she came in and let me see what La
summer night smells like. Ooh, yes, it's I don't know,
I don't know how to describe it. I like it
smells like No, it smells like the beach and the
warm summer air that I miss so much. Right now, Okay,
(30:16):
there's a lot of crazy stuff going on that we
need to talk about, but I just wanted to follow
up on that because you know, I don't want to
be a hypocrite. And when I say things on the
air sometimes which feeling complete, then I'm thinking about it
during the day, I'm thinking about it at night. Well
what did I mean? Well, why did I say that? Well,
maybe Myles was right, Well maybe Fitty was right. Well
(30:39):
maybe you know, maybe Puck was right. All right, let's
go to Lynette calling us from LA. Good morning, Lynette, Good.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Morning Dominique, thanks for taking my call. Reparations and memory
of our ancestors, and we know that the stroke continues.
But always to God be the glory. You know, Dominique,
you shouldn't have to worry about with you know, going
back and forth about the Diddy. I mean, it is
what it is, you know, I mean, like you say,
where is all this investigation on Trump and everything. Who's literally,
(31:13):
i mean, got thirty four counts. He's got to get
out of jail car being a president.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And what he says for that matter. You know, our
drunken secretary of Defense who you know, who's been charged
allegedly charged with a bunch of sex crimes. You know
he's not doing time.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, and a few things here. We don't have to really,
you know, go through this moment as just a moment.
This is a teachable moment, and that's really what the
bottom line is. There's some folks that got to be
held accountable. You know, the president is more consequential than anybody.
(31:56):
He's taking money from people, bread out of mouth of
our babies, our seniors. I mean, they got this thing
with this new Social Security social Security Medicare rule January first,
that's supposed to be hidden and it's gonna really affect
seniors and people that's on disability about them keeping up
their account information. Half of them don't even do computers,
(32:16):
and uh, what's that automation of stuff? And then we
got this big budget bill for military nine hundred billion dollars.
That's an abomination. They need to take our defense budget
and cut in half and give it to all these
people that's getting cut off the EV team.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
If we cut our social if we cut our military
budget and half, we could feed everybody everybody, right, we
wouldn't not forget about snap. Everybody could have enough to eat.
We can end hunger in America tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
And we did that, and you know, it's just really disgusting.
And then at least we can put a down payment
toward reparations. And by the way, in Algery a week
ago they had a big AU meeting about reparations and
how all the African countries are getting together and demanding reparations.
Fhy But I mean we tomorrow they're gonna be voting
(33:13):
on this bill. I heard about the defense budget or
if something like that or is it Friday? And we
just got to let them know. No way, I mean,
you ain't taking care of business at Hall. What are
we trying to intervene in other countries for?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'm laughing because when that when you call, you got
a list you want to talk about twenty five things,
and you know, and they're all important things, and you
make us aware of many important things. But you got
a lot on your mind.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Heck yeah, because they it's fast and furious, and it's
always stupid something going on. You know, it is very
consequential now these days, you know. So I just feel
like the Diddy thing. You know, if you're gonna put
out with Diddy, then put it out about Clive Davis
because he was all hugged up with Trump. And did
(34:03):
he put it out about Trump?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And release the dog on Epstein files while you're at it.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
That's what we've really been talking about. See. So when
they get up and all up about Diddy, and you know,
like I said, yeah, did he got to pay for
what he did? But then what about everybody else that
got all these get out of jail, car Creed? You know,
the monopoly is still going on. Where's our FDR's still
(34:30):
going on right now with these Olive guards and with
these folks up here and playing view that keep on
getting away with stuff and have been doing it for
years decades, you know, and we don't have not one
thing to I mean, come on now, we can get them.
We just got to be real diligent about it and
let him know that, hey, you ain't getting away with it.
(34:52):
Our children are coming first, for real, for real, you know,
and our country comes first.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So there it is, well, suppose our country comes first.
That was the whole slogan in America first. But it's
clearly not. You're talking about the Annual Defense Policy Bill
for nine hundred and one billion dollars in national security spending.
This is the thing I don't get. And Congress did
(35:18):
this under Joe Biden too. Trump asks for one amount
and then they want to give him more. They want
to give the Pentagon more. That's the same thing that
happened under Biden. Biden asks for the Pentagon, asks for
one amount, and Biden throws in billions more. I mean,
our defense spending is already ridiculous. Why would you give
(35:40):
him more money than what he's asking for. I mean,
we should be looking at cutting.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
And they have not had an odded girl and how long,
you know, And then they talk about, well, you know,
we we we could do pretty much what we want
to do because you know, we have all the this
immunity or whatever. But that's not the Constitution. And they
can't give rid of citizenship.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well you know this, with this Supreme Court, they can.
That's the scary thing with this Supreme Court. Now, whether
or not that's constitutional. Whether it's character you know, characteristic
of a multi supposed, multi ethnic democracy direct democracy is
another question, Lynette. But the fact is they can and
(36:30):
they are. They're doing whatever the heck they want. They're
already leaning towards giving him more presidential authority to just
fire people willy nilly from agencies that are meant to oversee,
you know, various aspects of our society. They've already given
him total immunity, which is not a thing, total presidential immunity.
(36:51):
How is that constitutional? That is a recipe for authoritarianism.
They can do it. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
As far them and investigate the heck out of them
like we should be doing, and making our Congress and
the oversized Communities committees know that we want this to
happen effective immediately, because this is not gonna fly. What
they're doing is a coup and it ain't nothing short
of that, and we ain't gonna let that happen either.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Nine hundred and one billion dollars for down the for
the military, and he and Trump asked for eight hundred
and ninety two, so they're just throwing in an extra
nine ye billion audit.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
They a't had no audit at GaOH, everybody, look at
the GAO report they have filled. They're audits for several
times before the tenagon.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yep. Okay, can that called me at eight hundred and
ninety two oh, fifteen eighty you're invited to do the same.
You're listening to unapologetically progressive KBLA talk fifteen eighty. Okay,
so too. Lynnett's point about social secus security, A lot
of the rules stay the same. There is a cost
of living increase of about two eight percent that's going
to go into effect. That's something that's been you know,
(38:10):
been around. It's not a Trump thing, but there's there
is a new thing that is a Trump thing, which
is that they're going to require that individuals verify their
identity either online or in person at a Social Security
office for any changes in their deposits. Now, that means
that if you're not mobile and you're not you know,
(38:34):
savvy online is going to be a problem. It means
more older Americans are going to have to travel to
their Social Security office, which if you live out in
the country that can be far away. Hopefully some folks
will be jumping in with, you know, help for senior citizens.
So they can either get help to update online, or
(38:55):
they can get rides or whatever. If you're not mobile.
It's definitely a a disproportionate burden for people who are
working with a disability or people with limited internet access.
Some will have to travel long distances. We know that
because of the DOGE cuts, these Social Security offices are
(39:15):
understaff now, which means when you get to the dog
One place, you're going to be in a long line.
It could be there all day. You may have to
go back again and again. So basically, they're just making
it harder for the disabled, harder for those with low
resources to get the benefits that they worked their whole
life to earn. And I know there may be some
(39:38):
court challenges to this because it does seem to be
a disproportionately burdensome for the disabled. But we'll see how
that works in this environment that we're in right now.
Let's go to JW calling us from LA. Good morning, JW. JW.
You're on the air. I'm good. What's on your mind? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
First of all, I want to thank you for your
patience with me. I already thank Males one be for
a while back, as well as old and when I
speak to him on his show at night. But here's
my point once before I have made it, uh, well,
before I come to a conversation I want to make,
(40:23):
I would I'd like to ask for some help because
I was on James far show saiday night with al
Jena Burning and he pretty much uh gave me uh.
I would say.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
He suggested that actually views whatever I can help, pretty
much there's some help to what's happening there in Alden
because I have raised a question, and he said, the
other bird has a lot of his plavments. I can
do what I suggested that the other person can do.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Right, He suggested you get involved as an activist rather
than just making suggestions to the activists that are probably
pretty overburdened at this point. It makes sense. Yeah, so
what what's your common or question for? First things first?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Jw okay, just forget the first thing first. Once I
get off for comment, please allow me to speak to
Miles off there. I will ally him with my my
email address. And this is my comment right now. First,
we had made common reference to Santa Monica the man.
(41:39):
This is multiple years ago. I can't think of what
time frame it was you had that black I guess
there was a black beach club.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, the Ebony Beach Club. Yeah. They just got a
settlement with the City of Santa Monica. They're getting three
hundred thousand dollars. And the City of Santa Monicas has
recently seated their Reparations Commission and they're looking at a
more widespread program that would be able to pay reparation
to other folks with links to Santa Monica who have
suffered similar indignities or setbacks on the part of the city.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Health was.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Her last name is White and his daughter's last name.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Is right Silas White. Yep. And I think Constance White
is the daughter.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Okay, cast this White who I'm referring to because I
consider her a one woman army. She was one person
amaze and difference man, because she got in contact with
right people.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, she got in contact with the right people and
she never gave up. I mean it's a little bit
easier than some other reparations cases because it happened or
restitution because it happened more recently. This happened during the
fifties when Silas White was stripped of his rent to
own agree and the city seized this property that he
(43:02):
had invested in for this beach club. Now she's getting
this settlement. But also part of the deal is that
she can partake of future reparations funds or actions that
the city puts in place. They're doing a display to
her dad at the main library there in Santa Monica.
(43:23):
They're naming a street her granddad. No, it's her dad,
I think, naming a street after him. And so they're
they're doing a pretty thorough restitution situation there. And you're right,
Constance White never gave up and she was told no,
and she opened another door and another door, and so
(43:45):
I think you're right to uplift her and we can all,
we can all benefit from her example. Speaking of never
giving up and uplifting great examples, the great great granddaughter
of Madam C. J. Walker, Allllia Bundles, joins me. Next.
She's got a new book, Joy Goddess, and a great
story to tell. That's all coming up after News, Traffic
(44:08):
and Sports on KBLA Talk fifteen eighty
And speaking about real networking. It's my favorite thing when
our entrepreneurs for Wealth Building Wednesday land in the studio
live and in person, I get to shake their hand.
That's what I think real networking is about, in person,
in real life. Look, i'll take it if you're on
the phone, but it's always my favorite thing when folks
come in and so now I get that wish. She's
(00:22):
an La native and a candle maker, the candle maker
behind the House of Mosaic Candles. She started making candles
back in twenty sixteen because she was fed up with traffic.
I'll let her explain. Tony Shaw, owner of House of
Mosaic Candles, Good morning, good morning, Thank you for having me. Yeah,
it sounds very timely for the season. Mosaic Candles is
(00:45):
giving holiday season in just the name.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, we have a variety of holiday sins and the
mosaic actually stems from me also being a stained glass
mosaic artist. So similar to you know Walt Disney tie
their perry. You know, everything was going to be under
the House of Moaic umbrella. So now we have house
some Mosaic Candles.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Wow, well, congrats on that. It's hue. So you just
tired of driving.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, so, my favorite candle store at the time was
located in Culver City and they relocated to Santa Monica, hence,
you know, getting on that ten Freeway always hitting traffic,
and then where they were located didn't have parking. So
I did it a couple of times, and I'm like,
you know what, this is not working for me anymore.
(01:33):
I'm gonna learn how to make my own candles. That's
a little bit of the aries blood.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But you know, okay that your way or the highway
the highway.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So, so basically you were inspired by the terrible LA
traffic to d I Y T d I Y. And
obviously you love candles or you wouldn't have been that
important to you to drive through traffic to get the
dog on things. So then you started making your own
And how does that turn into a full time I'm
House of Mosaic Candles experience.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah so, And I will admit I made a bunch
of very bad candles to start out with until I
found someone who was willing to take me under their
wing and teach me the ways of the wax and
the wick. And I started right here locally. I'm a
local girl. I literally could have walked here, but started
(02:26):
at the Creunshaw Farmers Market and you know, just getting
feedback from friends and family and like you said, twenty
sixteen and I'm blessed to be here nine years later,
still still at the Creunshaw Mall on Saturdays and online
and doing various pop ups throughout La County.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So wow. So when you made them for yourself, you thought, well,
these are pretty good, maybe some other folks would like them,
but people were probably begging you for the candles all
the time. Well I did.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I would give them to a friends and family and
to some of the people that I work with, and
they were very honest and I appreciated that they're like,
you know, not quite there. And then when they finally
gave me the the stamp of approval.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So now like my sister, she's she's coming to my
stash constantly as well as my nieces, which I appreciate.
You know, that means I'm doing something right.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So you're mostly selling online and in pop ups?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Correct?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So, like I said, every Saturday usually I'm at the
Baldwin Hills Mall at the Crenshaw Hills Farmer's Market, definitely
have the website presence and looking to pivot a little
bit for twenty twenty six and try to do more
B to B and also to find some retail locations.
I was in a couple of retail locations coffee shops,
(03:52):
but unfortunately they closed, so I'm looking to re establish
in the retail space as well.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, so we've got to if we have an amazing
retailer out there that's thinking that they want to have,
you know, something new in their store, they can maybe
reach out to you. House of Mosaiccandles dot com is
the website. If you don't know how to spell mosaic,
it's mos Aic mosaic Housi Mosaiccandles dot com. So we
(04:19):
can shop right now. Would we get them in time
for Xmas or Kwanza?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Uh, let's see, we're yes. Oh yeah, we're a couple
of weeks out of outside of Christmas. And the great thing,
because I'm local, I do offer delivery. I was actually
delivering candles last night. So if your local la I
will bring them to you, you can save on the shipping. Otherwise,
if they're going anywhere in the United States, the sooner
(04:44):
the better you know the post offices. Uh, it could
be tricky, but you know, I'll save you from being
in the post office lines. I'll do all the delivery
for you.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wow. Okay, So we can still get these as holiday gifts,
get them delivered to us. And you are very creative
with your candles. You have lots of different kinds of candles,
you pay tribute, you have different colored jars. Yes, why
is that important?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, I think it just speaks to the aesthetic. I
wanted to make a quality, premium candle that was affordable.
I mean a lot of times, you know, before this experience,
you know, you know, you get something at your local
you know, big lots target that kind of thing, but
(05:33):
probably it didn't permeate the room. So I wanted to
provide something that was you know, pretty, but the main
thing is that it's going to permeate the room. We
now offer a woodwig candle, which gives you the added
benefit of the crackle of the wood. So just wanted
to offer a variety of options for woodwig candles.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Are those like kind of for a technicular looking wick, yeah,
as opposed to the thread kind. Then you have them
in hands.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We have them in the paint tins. We have amber jars,
we have we have our Minis bundles which are in
our Minis tins. So just yeah, a variety of offerings
for people at different price points. And we do have
a gift bundles, so for anyone who just says, hey,
I just want to give it as a gift, we
(06:22):
have some pre curated bundles as well.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I love the different names and the different I guess flavors.
Sense it's not flavored, don't you don't eat it? Yes,
you have a candle called Cringshaw.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That is just fruity goodness. That's a lime, orange, cherry
and vanilla, and it just speaks of the vibrancy of
the Crenshaw community, which I'm a part of. You know,
you can find a little bit of everything on Crenshaw
and it's it's just you know, it brings you joy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I mean that's part of the thing that would make
these really fun gifts. You have one called All the Vibes.
What's that said?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, so that one is a narroli that has some
fluoral nodes as well as some musky notes.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And I think that was like.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Just just an old too, you know, just having fun.
Let's just let's just you know, be in our vibes
and you know, especially in these trying times, you know,
just trying to find the grace and the goodness where
we can.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Then I feel like Caribbean teak wood. That's probably self
self explanatory, Eat, beach, sleep, repeat, Maybe probably self gammy
sweet potato pie flavored candle, but that seems self explanatory too.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yes, So you know, I say, have the the goodness
of the sweet potato pie without the calories.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Not only that, if you can't cook, you can make
it seem.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Like you are, you know, coming to the house.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I cooked that sweet potato pie
knowing you got it from Sprouse Yet or you know,
Patty Label or whatever. Fresh cut roses seems self explained to.
Candles can be really expensive, though, I know, because I'm
a candle person.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, and again that was I was very intentional about pricing,
even for people that have been with me since twenty sixteen.
I've only really increased my prices a few times, you know,
due to you know, tariffs and everything everything going up.
But I did want to keep them at a price
(08:30):
point that I think was affordable. We do have specials
going on throughout the year. But the best thing about
these candles or that they're a vegan blend of coconut
soy wax. They are made with premium candle fragrance oils
that I have a money back guarantee. You know, if
they don't permeate the room, you know, come back to me.
(08:51):
Let me make it right up into including returning.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Permeate the room. You want the whole room to smell
like whatever that is. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes when I
get my on sale, you know, somewhere bargain bind candles,
they don't you know, you get a little faint smell buses.
You gotta be right up on that bad boy mine.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You'll know they're burning.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What is Lamert Park smell like?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh my god, Park is a fruity floral blend. So again,
you know, having been in the community, you know, I
remember when we were South Central and all these negative
stereotypes and that's not you know, people that are from
and in the community know that's not what we're about.
We're about community and taking care of each other and
(09:37):
having fun and support. And so that one is a
like I said, a merge of of both fruity and
floral notes, so some jasmine, some rose.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Some citrus. Of course I like it. I work in
Lahmurt Park every day, but I can totally see giving
someone a Lamert Park candle for Kwanza. Or you have
an inglewood one too.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And that's a Polo santo and grapefruit land so you
get the bouts of the earthy and the floral.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
That sounds wonderful.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Actually, oh that's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, so you have all the places I worked, No,
there's no San Francisco. Well you have all my la places.
Idris Elbow. Do you have Elbow candle?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We we can dream and fantasize. And when I dream,
when I smell that one, I'm like Idris coming out
the shower.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You know, just listen. She has a Michael Jordan. I'm glad.
You know you got you threw in a black American
actor in there too.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And people always ask me about these names, and you know,
it's it's just what hits me when I smelled the candle,
and uh, you know the first thought.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's your inspiration.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The inspiration. We have the Michelle Obama and the Barack
Baraque come on the first family forever, first family.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, those seem like they would be good presence too,
especially if you have you know, that's something you know
Grandma and mom might like. You know, you got your
Michelle Obama can't candle the goat.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So that was in honor of Muhammad Ali's is the
greatest of all time?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh yeah, I need that one. Yeah. Yeah, that's a black.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Sea scentse so it was earthy. Yeah, that's a favorite
as well.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Is that okay? So why do we care that it's
vegan and whatever else? You said?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Absolutely, So you want to make sure that we're using
sustainable products both in our homes and on our bodies
of course. So you know, most of most of the candles,
especially the less expensive ones, are made from paraffin wax,
which is carbon based. So you know we're talking about
you know, you know, petroleum base and that can if
(11:53):
you're burning those kinds of candles, you're having that in
your in your intimate, your atmosphere in your house. So
you want something that's a vegan, clean burning, non toxic,
so that you know we're not taking that into our bodies.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, petroleum based product is basically the same thing they
make that's why I'm always encouraging people not to use
vacoline on our skin. I know, you guys want to
take my black cars. She don't like hot sauce, and
she wants us to stop using vacaline. But vacolini is
a petroleum product. We are not cars. No, so you know,
(12:29):
use shape butter right. It'll last just as long. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It's non toxic. I'm actually also a member of Black
Women for Wellness with your neighbor across the street, and
we're talking about beauty justice. And you know, again like
you're saying vascline on our skin, you know, looking at
the labels of our products that we put in our hair,
on our lips, on our face, and you know, why
are there rising rates of cancer? Why are you know
(12:57):
there's so many health elements. It's because all these chemicals.
I mean, if you can't even pronounce it, why are we,
you know, using it in our house and having it
on our bodies.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, well, we're going to get a little bit deeper
into that and yeah, and your entrepreneurial journey when we
come forward. Tony Shaw is my guest house of mosaiccandles
dot com ms, I a ms A I see mosaicic
just what like? It sounds like House of Mosaic Candles
dot com is the main place to buy or I
(13:26):
guess we can stop buy the Crenshaw Farmers and Market
that's happening Saturdays over at the mall. And I guess well,
we'll talk more about that when we come forward. KBLA
Talk fifteen eighty unhaws, my guests, we are talking about
House of Mosaic Candles. I just followed you on Instagram.
It's surprise, surprise, it's called House of Mosaic Candles. And
(13:49):
I guess this is where we can track the pop
ups if we want to see. So many businesses now
are functioning on Instagram where you can follow where you're
going to be, from food trucks to vendors.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, yeah, I usually post where I'm gonna be, uh so, yeah,
please follow me on Instagram House and Moseic Candles and
you can uh find me anywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, I noticed your website has a need help number
this three one O six two five nine twenty four
three one O six two five two nine two four.
Is that another way we can order? Can we?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Because I know everyone's not on all the tech and
please give me a call. You can reach me there
and I can take all the information and send h
you know, and and emailed uh invoice or you know,
take a payment another way.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So yeah, yeah, I'm way too much of my life
as virtual. But I think there are lots of folks
that still prefer that customer service of being able to
call you then you could deliver it. You can have
all your quans of shopping done in one stop. I
got you H three one o six two five twenty
nine twenty four three six two five twenty four. I
see you have house of Mosaic Workshop. Is that something
(15:02):
we need to know? That patch on your jacket which
looks like a Ronnie Girl running poet Ronnie Girl brand
Ronnie Girl.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yes, so how some Mosaic Workshop is the creative side
of my business. So in addition to selling candles, I
also offer candle workshops as well as a brand new
candle bar, so we're if you want to have more
of an experiential moment with me, I do workshops at
(15:31):
I built a home studio at my home so you
can come to my house and take my workshops, or
if you wanted to have something at your home or
I do corporate team builders as well. So yeah, let's
make candles and have fun.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Okay, what's the candle bar?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
So the candle Yes, I'm so glad you asked. So
the candle bar is more of an activation. So let's
say KBLA is having a big event and they would
hire me to bring the candle bar there, so the
guests at your event would have the opportunity to make
candles with me and they can take those away. It's
a way to bring experiences to your event as well
(16:10):
as you know, an instagrammable moment. So yeah, the candlebar
is just a fun activation that I'm trying to expand
on in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh nice, Yeah, I know. That's that's the big thing now,
is experiences over just buying stuff exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I mean, it's nice to have things given to you,
but wouldn't it be even more fun to make it yourself?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah? Yeah, and then you can say that you made
someone something exactly, which you know, of course is partly true,
right right, personalize it. Yeah. So we're talking about non
toxic stuff, and it sounds like you're doing a bit
of a deep dive with that. With black women for Wellness.
I love them. They're on the show, you know from
(16:54):
time to time. How do you track that, like as
an entrepreneur and as a consumer, you know, I think
in really some areas like makeup and hair care products,
it can be pretty urgent.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, yes, and and again I'm learning from the young
leaders that black women for a while, and it's just
to be very conscious of the label, you know, what
to look for, you know, particularly in like skin and
hair products, you know, avoiding the paraffins and the sulfates.
And they actually gave me some websites where, I'm sorry,
(17:30):
some apps where you can scan the bar code on
your product and you can see if it gets you know,
a green seal of you know, less toxic versus red,
which is avoid So just really learning to look at
the labels and understanding that it's something that we need
to be aware of, like you know, all the you know,
our communities are already at risk of you know, all
(17:52):
those different coul morbiditis, you know, the diabetes, the hypertension,
and it's just something we need to be aware of
and be proactive about. You know, we can't grab stuff
off the shelf. We have to understand what we're putting
into our bodies.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, my former hairstylist, Louanna passed away from cancer, and
I just I feel like it was all those products.
You know, she's coloring, she's straightening, she's her whole, just
an incredible stylist and a really nice lady. Lambert Park
resident Lewanna Johnson Rest in peace, lou And I just
(18:27):
think the reason I bring her upside from the fact
that she's a lovely lady, a black woman who died
from cancer, is because we think it's just some airy
fairy thing. Oh, I'm so cool, I use vegan this
and that. No, we're talking about something that could actually
make you sick and die.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, and we and we already you know,
we die too soon in our communities. And I think
there's not enough education, and so I really appreciate being Again,
I can't shout out black women for a wowness enough
for what they do the community.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And we have to tell you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
As soon as I found out, I left their meeting
and I was texting my daughter and my nieces and
my sister to let them know, like, hey, you guys,
this is very important. So once we learn something, we
have to spread the word. We have to tell each
other so that you know we're protecting our community and
putting a veil over our community of knowledge, because that's
how we protect ourselves, knowledge and action and action. Yes, yes,
(19:24):
and we can you know, demand that our local stores,
you know, have these clean our products on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, that's a good point. More go to places like
you House of Mosaic Candles dot com, Napoli Naturals, you know,
the places that around us that do pay attention to
that stuff. So we obviously we can buy your candles online,
we can go to the farmer's market, we can track
your pop ups on Instagram, or call you and get
(19:50):
some help and a big shout out to you, because
it's not easy to start something and not know how
to do it and be bad at it at first
until you you get great at it, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, again, I blame it on the Aris blood. I say,
I'm reformed. I'm not as bad as I was in
my twenties. I'm much better, I like to I asked
for help and that's what got me to this point.
I found somebody who you know, I'm like, hey, I'm
not getting it right, and he was like, come sit
down and let me, let me teach you a thing
or two. So yeah, I am intentional about you know,
(20:24):
reaching out when I need to and and learning. You know,
I'm I'm at a point in life where I want
to learn and experience things.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So so if you if you had a tip for entrepreneurs,
what would it be.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I would definitely tell them that if you have an idea,
get past the analysis paralysis and do it. Put it
out there and get the feedback. And that's really how
you tweak it to be even better. But if if
you just have a great idea and you sit at
your house and you sit on it, nobody will ever
(20:56):
get a chance to experience it. So take that first
step and actually actually do it.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You talking to me, all right, And how can we
support you as an entrepreneur as a black owned business.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So a couple of ways. Definitely, you know, if you've
been a customer, you know, tell a friend. If you're
not a customer, give me a try again. It's it's
about the products, but also the customer service. That's very
important to me to make sure you have the best
experience with my product. If you're a business and you're
looking for gifts for your employees or for your event.
(21:27):
Let's say you're having a panel, you need gifts. I
do amazing bundles. And then again, if you're a retailer
and you're looking for a candle brand, I would love
to talk with you, as well as other brands who
want to expand into candles and they don't want the
hassle of making them. I do white label candles well,
(21:48):
so I make candles for other businesses. So I want
to be your partner both on the consumer and the
business end.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, this looks really really nice. I'm looking at the bundles.
It looks like a great idea for a business, a
wedding or any kind of thing like that. Well, thank
you so much. It's really nice to meet you, Tony Shaw,
House of Mosaiccandles dot com. I hope all of us
will consider that for under the Tree or you know,
under the canara or whatever you're celebrating, just celebrating life.
(22:19):
Best of luck to you.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
All Right, the phone lines are wide open and we'll
talk about it after news, traffic and sports. I'm kbla
talk fifteen eighty holidays, fam, it's you me miles in
the microphone right now, eight hundred and nine to fifteen eighty.
Phone is wide open. I'm getting in that spirit. I
don't put up decorations till after Thanksgiving. I don't want
(22:44):
to hear Christmas carols when we haven't had turkey yet.
But I'm all in now, let's do this good. That's
a good wow. You got skills. Molly Bell's over here
clowning me, She says, I Compton, what no west Side?
I want a Compton California candle. Okay, we'll get you
(23:05):
a Compton California candle. Queen. Your wish is my command.
I did not work in Compton. I did work in Compton,
meaning like I partnered with the Mayor of Compton back
then when it was Mayor Omar Bradley. We did. We
did events, fundraisers for Compton and Centennial High So I
(23:25):
guess that counts.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
It's funny you said, like, what's Lahmert Park smell like?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Like?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
What does Compton smell like? Y'all that's the smell of Compton.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Hmm, smells good. I'm sure it smells good. I have
I'm not that's gonna be up to Molly Bell. She's
the Queen of Compton. But I'm just saying I've done
work for Compton. I got love for Compton, but I
never actually had a job where I went there every day. Okay. Also, Myles,
I figured out, well, I can't say I've totally figured out,
(23:52):
but I started to get a little bit more clarity
about the Diddy conversation because I don't want to be
a hypocrite like I I do believe victims, and I
don't condone the behavior. I do think he got a
raw deal because he's basically in prison for prostitution, which
is something they usually just let people go for, even
(24:14):
though it's across state lines. I know he did a
lot of dirt in the business or allegedly for a
lot of years. What I've figured out is that I
hate to see black men go to prison. I hate
to see us tearing each other down. That's what I
don't like. And two things can be true. Bill Cosby
(24:34):
can be guilty of drugging women and forcing himself on them,
as literally dozens alleged, including some women that I respect,
like Beverley Johnson. And he can be a great artist
who's hilarious, who modeled a more gentle style of parenting,
(24:54):
who gave us a different perception of the black family
on television, donated millions of dollars to HBC using important
Black causes. Did he can be somebody where we saw
it on tape, an alleged domestic violence perp who allegedly
ripped off a lot of people in the industry, you know,
(25:18):
who allegedly got Tupac, you know, and Biggie taken out.
I don't have proof of those things. If I did,
I would have a totally different attitude. And also he
could be the guy that put all these people on,
you know, created the soundtrack for much of our lives.
(25:39):
Was super successful or is a super successful entrepreneur, an innovator,
somebody who tried to get out the vote. Like two
things can be true.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Things can be true at the same Yeah, multiple things.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So I think that's that's what I had to find
peace because, you know, Fahima and some others were kind
of calling me out saying I'm being an apologist, that
I'm trying to minimize the domestic violence or the you
know whatever. His his various transgressions are, I don't want
(26:14):
to get on fifty cents enemy list either. By the way,
did you see him taking down Marlon WANs yesterday? Oh Lord,
have mercy. I have no beef with you, but I
don't like seeing us taking each other down. I don't
like seeing another black man taken down. And I do
not think it's fair that black men don't get the
same forgiveness and the same redemption arc that other people do.
(26:40):
I mean, I think it's very ironic that, you know,
fifty cent is taking down Diddy while elevating Donald Trump,
who is a convicted sexual assaulter, a thirty four time
felon who we you know, who settled out of court
for being people off through Trump University, the things that
(27:02):
he claimed that he claims he's mad at Diddy for
the things Trump has done our way worse than that,
and he's a stand for him. So that double standard
doesn't sit right with me either.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
No, I get you.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
I feel like, like I said before, I really I
can't wait for the time when people do this deep
research and we can get a Trump documentary where somebody
like a you know, like a fifty or time, somebody
who we look at as a mogul in these mediums
can really come in and you know, put their executive
produced stamped on it and give it the you know,
the validity that this document is getting from fifty and
(27:36):
from a partnership with you know in Netflix. So you know,
I think it's only a matter of time, and it's
just another version of it in my opinion, though, I
get you, no dominant, I get you.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's and it's becoming so frequent, you know, it's
like to pick this one off and this one no.
I mean, and look, I get we have to be
accountable for our crimes, but not really because look who's
in the White House.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
I still got to accountable for your crimes.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Okay, well, when is that going to happen for all
of these other folks? When is that going to happen
for Elon Musk? When is that gonna happen for Donald Trump?
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Like documentary style, when is that going to happen?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Documentary jail finds not getting to be president? M Karma.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Karma's on his way way, That's.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
What I'm talking about. Anyway, on to cheer your things.
Maybe you can play that's that Stevie wonder Again, I'm
feeling very Christmassy because Tony brought me a present. My
first holiday season present from Tony Shaw of House of
Mosaic Candles. So I'm going to unbox it. It's in
(28:47):
the cute bag the Tony the House of Mosaic. Oh,
she's got a black woman on the sticker sealing it.
I almost don't want to break this seal because it's
so pretty, but I well, because I want to see
what's inside. Oh good, I didn't have to break it.
I can save this beautiful sticker. Maybe I can put
on the back. I'm like, oh, oh, so cute eucalyptus inspiarment,
(29:12):
Caribbean teak wood, ginger lime. Can you see? These are
the mini candles, the miniature candles and la summer summer nights.
I'll save that one for the summer. Oh, these are
so cute. I got four lovely candles, and I'm definitely
(29:33):
going to go to her website and get some more stuff.
House of Mosaic. Let's smell. Let's see what probably eucalyptus
inspiariment would be good? Yes, delicious, it's green. It's so cute. Okay,
she didn't pay me to do that. I just did
(29:54):
it because I wanted to support a black owned business,
and she came in and let me see what La
summer night smells like. Ooh, yes, it's I don't know,
I don't know how to describe it. I like it
smells like No, it smells like the beach and the
warm summer air that I miss so much. Right now, Okay,
(30:16):
there's a lot of crazy stuff going on that we
need to talk about, but I just wanted to follow
up on that because you know, I don't want to
be a hypocrite. And when I say things on the
air sometimes which feeling complete, then I'm thinking about it
during the day, I'm thinking about it at night. Well
what did I mean? Well, why did I say that? Well,
maybe Myles was right, Well maybe Fitty was right. Well
(30:39):
maybe you know, maybe Puck was right. All right, let's
go to Lynette calling us from LA. Good morning, Lynette, Good.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Morning Dominique, thanks for taking my call. Reparations and memory
of our ancestors, and we know that the stroke continues.
But always to God be the glory. You know, Dominique,
you shouldn't have to worry about with you know, going
back and forth about the Diddy. I mean, it is
what it is, you know, I mean, like you say,
where is all this investigation on Trump and everything. Who's literally,
(31:13):
i mean, got thirty four counts. He's got to get
out of jail car being a president.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And what he says for that matter. You know, our
drunken secretary of Defense who you know, who's been charged
allegedly charged with a bunch of sex crimes. You know
he's not doing time.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, and a few things here. We don't have to really,
you know, go through this moment as just a moment.
This is a teachable moment, and that's really what the
bottom line is. There's some folks that got to be
held accountable. You know, the president is more consequential than anybody.
(31:56):
He's taking money from people, bread out of mouth of
our babies, our seniors. I mean, they got this thing
with this new Social Security social Security Medicare rule January first,
that's supposed to be hidden and it's gonna really affect
seniors and people that's on disability about them keeping up
their account information. Half of them don't even do computers,
(32:16):
and uh, what's that automation of stuff? And then we
got this big budget bill for military nine hundred billion dollars.
That's an abomination. They need to take our defense budget
and cut in half and give it to all these
people that's getting cut off the EV team.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
If we cut our social if we cut our military
budget and half, we could feed everybody everybody, right, we
wouldn't not forget about snap. Everybody could have enough to eat.
We can end hunger in America tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
And we did that, and you know, it's just really disgusting.
And then at least we can put a down payment
toward reparations. And by the way, in Algery a week
ago they had a big AU meeting about reparations and
how all the African countries are getting together and demanding reparations.
Fhy But I mean we tomorrow they're gonna be voting
(33:13):
on this bill. I heard about the defense budget or
if something like that or is it Friday? And we
just got to let them know. No way, I mean,
you ain't taking care of business at Hall. What are
we trying to intervene in other countries for?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'm laughing because when that when you call, you got
a list you want to talk about twenty five things,
and you know, and they're all important things, and you
make us aware of many important things. But you got
a lot on your mind.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Heck yeah, because they it's fast and furious, and it's
always stupid something going on. You know, it is very
consequential now these days, you know. So I just feel
like the Diddy thing. You know, if you're gonna put
out with Diddy, then put it out about Clive Davis
because he was all hugged up with Trump. And did
(34:03):
he put it out about Trump?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And release the dog on Epstein files while you're at it.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
That's what we've really been talking about. See. So when
they get up and all up about Diddy, and you know,
like I said, yeah, did he got to pay for
what he did? But then what about everybody else that
got all these get out of jail, car Creed? You know,
the monopoly is still going on. Where's our FDR's still
(34:30):
going on right now with these Olive guards and with
these folks up here and playing view that keep on
getting away with stuff and have been doing it for
years decades, you know, and we don't have not one
thing to I mean, come on now, we can get them.
We just got to be real diligent about it and
let him know that, hey, you ain't getting away with it.
(34:52):
Our children are coming first, for real, for real, you know,
and our country comes first.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So there it is, well, suppose our country comes first.
That was the whole slogan in America first. But it's
clearly not. You're talking about the Annual Defense Policy Bill
for nine hundred and one billion dollars in national security spending.
This is the thing I don't get. And Congress did
(35:18):
this under Joe Biden too. Trump asks for one amount
and then they want to give him more. They want
to give the Pentagon more. That's the same thing that
happened under Biden. Biden asks for the Pentagon, asks for
one amount, and Biden throws in billions more. I mean,
our defense spending is already ridiculous. Why would you give
(35:40):
him more money than what he's asking for. I mean,
we should be looking at cutting.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
And they have not had an odded girl and how long,
you know, And then they talk about, well, you know,
we we we could do pretty much what we want
to do because you know, we have all the this
immunity or whatever. But that's not the Constitution. And they
can't give rid of citizenship.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well you know this, with this Supreme Court, they can.
That's the scary thing with this Supreme Court. Now, whether
or not that's constitutional. Whether it's character you know, characteristic
of a multi supposed, multi ethnic democracy direct democracy is
another question, Lynette. But the fact is they can and
(36:30):
they are. They're doing whatever the heck they want. They're
already leaning towards giving him more presidential authority to just
fire people willy nilly from agencies that are meant to oversee,
you know, various aspects of our society. They've already given
him total immunity, which is not a thing, total presidential immunity.
(36:51):
How is that constitutional? That is a recipe for authoritarianism.
They can do it. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
As far them and investigate the heck out of them
like we should be doing, and making our Congress and
the oversized Communities committees know that we want this to
happen effective immediately, because this is not gonna fly. What
they're doing is a coup and it ain't nothing short
of that, and we ain't gonna let that happen either.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Nine hundred and one billion dollars for down the for
the military, and he and Trump asked for eight hundred
and ninety two, so they're just throwing in an extra
nine ye billion audit.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
They a't had no audit at GaOH, everybody, look at
the GAO report they have filled. They're audits for several
times before the tenagon.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yep. Okay, can that called me at eight hundred and
ninety two oh, fifteen eighty you're invited to do the same.
You're listening to unapologetically progressive KBLA talk fifteen eighty. Okay,
so too. Lynnett's point about social secus security, A lot
of the rules stay the same. There is a cost
of living increase of about two eight percent that's going
to go into effect. That's something that's been you know,
(38:10):
been around. It's not a Trump thing, but there's there
is a new thing that is a Trump thing, which
is that they're going to require that individuals verify their
identity either online or in person at a Social Security
office for any changes in their deposits. Now, that means
that if you're not mobile and you're not you know,
(38:34):
savvy online is going to be a problem. It means
more older Americans are going to have to travel to
their Social Security office, which if you live out in
the country that can be far away. Hopefully some folks
will be jumping in with, you know, help for senior citizens.
So they can either get help to update online, or
(38:55):
they can get rides or whatever. If you're not mobile.
It's definitely a a disproportionate burden for people who are
working with a disability or people with limited internet access.
Some will have to travel long distances. We know that
because of the DOGE cuts, these Social Security offices are
(39:15):
understaff now, which means when you get to the dog
One place, you're going to be in a long line.
It could be there all day. You may have to
go back again and again. So basically, they're just making
it harder for the disabled, harder for those with low
resources to get the benefits that they worked their whole
life to earn. And I know there may be some
(39:38):
court challenges to this because it does seem to be
a disproportionately burdensome for the disabled. But we'll see how
that works in this environment that we're in right now.
Let's go to JW calling us from LA. Good morning, JW. JW.
You're on the air. I'm good. What's on your mind? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
First of all, I want to thank you for your
patience with me. I already thank Males one be for
a while back, as well as old and when I
speak to him on his show at night. But here's
my point once before I have made it, uh, well,
before I come to a conversation I want to make,
(40:23):
I would I'd like to ask for some help because
I was on James far show saiday night with al
Jena Burning and he pretty much uh gave me uh.
I would say.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
He suggested that actually views whatever I can help, pretty
much there's some help to what's happening there in Alden
because I have raised a question, and he said, the
other bird has a lot of his plavments. I can
do what I suggested that the other person can do.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Right, He suggested you get involved as an activist rather
than just making suggestions to the activists that are probably
pretty overburdened at this point. It makes sense. Yeah, so
what what's your common or question for? First things first?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Jw okay, just forget the first thing first. Once I
get off for comment, please allow me to speak to
Miles off there. I will ally him with my my
email address. And this is my comment right now. First,
we had made common reference to Santa Monica the man.
(41:39):
This is multiple years ago. I can't think of what
time frame it was you had that black I guess
there was a black beach club.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, the Ebony Beach Club. Yeah. They just got a
settlement with the City of Santa Monica. They're getting three
hundred thousand dollars. And the City of Santa Monicas has
recently seated their Reparations Commission and they're looking at a
more widespread program that would be able to pay reparation
to other folks with links to Santa Monica who have
suffered similar indignities or setbacks on the part of the city.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Health was.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Her last name is White and his daughter's last name.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Is right Silas White. Yep. And I think Constance White
is the daughter.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Okay, cast this White who I'm referring to because I
consider her a one woman army. She was one person
amaze and difference man, because she got in contact with
right people.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, she got in contact with the right people and
she never gave up. I mean it's a little bit
easier than some other reparations cases because it happened or
restitution because it happened more recently. This happened during the
fifties when Silas White was stripped of his rent to
own agree and the city seized this property that he
(43:02):
had invested in for this beach club. Now she's getting
this settlement. But also part of the deal is that
she can partake of future reparations funds or actions that
the city puts in place. They're doing a display to
her dad at the main library there in Santa Monica.
(43:23):
They're naming a street her granddad. No, it's her dad,
I think, naming a street after him. And so they're
they're doing a pretty thorough restitution situation there. And you're right,
Constance White never gave up and she was told no,
and she opened another door and another door, and so
(43:45):
I think you're right to uplift her and we can all,
we can all benefit from her example. Speaking of never
giving up and uplifting great examples, the great great granddaughter
of Madam C. J. Walker, Allllia Bundles, joins me. Next.
She's got a new book, Joy Goddess, and a great
story to tell. That's all coming up after News, Traffic
(44:08):
