Something is wrong with her.

to you a little more
about the situation with my son.
- You was going through
something in your life
and you dropped the ball, man.
- My mom, she didn't raise me.
My mom's been on drugs
since I've been born.
- So have you been
staying clean, mom?
- Trying.
- You trying?
- All those birthdays
you feel like she missed,
it will be worth it.
- To release that energy,
sometimes when you do
some physical activity.
Would that be something you
would be interested in doing?
- Yes it would.
- The King and
Queens of Tomorrow is
my nonprofit organization
that I started.
- Thank you for coming

- Hey, hey.
- I've known Yung Joc for
some time and I wanna ask him,
would he be willing to
help do the fundraiser,
Save the Tatas.

I lost her to breast cancer.
My sister was diagnosed
with breast cancer.
- Right, right.
- You know,
so I'm definitely with it.
- Okay so we gonna
do the speed dating?
- Okay and I think honestly
nobody should tell
somebody to come
who they done fucked before.
- Well I'm gonna be in trouble.

are all meeting the guys
that we met on Instagram
for the speed dating today.
And hopefully the girls picked
some very handsome guys.
- What are you guys toasting to?
- Tonight.
- Tonight.
- I agreed to go to the
speed dating at the sex shop
because I thought it
would be fun, for one,
and I mean, I like drinking,
so shit, wine tasting's fun.
- Hey.

Okay, yeah I'm lazy,

I just wear my waist
trainer all fucking day.
I took it off before
I came in here.
- Does it work?
- Yes.
- Alright.
Dang, it's doing
more than working.
- Something's happening.
I ain't seen the process
but yeah.
- Yes.
- And what about you?
- Well, I have a few
nonprofit organizations.
- Oh that's awesome.
- Where I make wigs for kids
and things like that 'cause
I'm in the school system.
So I have also a
nonprofit where basically,
we give back to the community.
- That's cool.
- Gonna be a good
relaxation moment for you.
- It sure will,
I'm pretty good tasting my wine.
- Hey, how are you?

Y'all follow me right quickly?
- Alright.
- 'Scuse me, man.
- 'Scuse me.
No, you're good, bro.
- Boy, you looking

Boy looking like a...
- See anybody you're
interested in?
- Yeah, it's about
maybe one or two.
- One or two, okay.

- You know me.
Plus, you know me and Nas
still going through it, so.
And then I'm just kinda
- Oh.
- Hi.
- Girl, y'all gon'
be back together.
You know how that goes.
- Right, that's the reason
why I don't need to
be looking right now.
- La'Bri and Nas'
relationship is
like how most typical
young relationships are.
One minute, they're on,
next minute, they're off.
I just know that's not
something I could do right now.
If your ass leave, you leave.
That's it.
So, yeah, Angel, she's
not answering her phone.
I don't know where she at.
- So let's hook the guys up
with the groups of threes
and see which ones are
the best fit for you
or who you like.
- I already know who
I want but okay okay okay.
I think when I walked in and we
made eye contact,
it was like, "Wow, finally."
- This is giving me
La'Bri of Love vibes.
I need my own show.
- Bitch you got a man.
What the hell is
you talking about?
- I still wanna get my show.
They be having people, too.
- What kind of gym
pants you wear?
- I'll wear whatever
you want me to wear.

or basketball shorts?
- Basketball shorts.
- Thank Jesus!
- Hey everybody.
Good evening.

Fellas, look at you guys,

- Isn't she gorgeous?
- Oh I had just did
something before I got here.
- Girl, who you visiting
before you got here?
- You forgot to button it up.
- I'm joking.
So you got rid of
your girlfriend.
- Huh?
- You got rid of
your girlfriend.
- I never had a girlfriend.
- He had a girlfriend?
- He had something?
- I never had a girlfriend!
- Not this guy.
- He had a love mark on
his neck or something.
- That was a tattoo.
- Is that a hickey?
- No, not at all.
- Tell her that.
- I told you. Well I told her.
I think he a man ho.
- No one remembers it.
- If she remembers
it, I believe it.
- What do we keep talking about?
- So was it like a little
hickey or a big hickey?
So who in the hell else got a
girlfriend at this damn table?
Because I didn't know
- I don't need to be
grouped into the category
of having a girlfriend.
- Uh, uh. So you want
to date him, okay.
- First of all, you told
me this man had a hickey
on him a few weeks ago.
- Who don't got a
hickey on their neck?
- She still stalking him,
what you talking about?
You know it take a whole month
before we get another dick
before we move onto
the next nigga.
You said you don't have kids?
- No.
- And how old are you?
- 31.
- You don't want kids?
- Yes.
- Why you ain't have them?
- Pull out game strong.
- Okay that's not like good.
So you guys have the
same problem he has?
- I was working,
I was working, trying to
get established first.
- Oh.
- That's wassup,
and you, you just young still.
- I like that.
- I just,
I never had, not condom sex.
- I will fuck your life up.
It's, but, yeah,
I don't need to--
- I might need it.
- So what--
- Boy, this is some grown
woman shit over here.
- Right quickly ladies,
we gotta switch out and
bring in some other guys.
- See you later Kansas City.
- Richie comes around the table
and he literally just takes my
chair and just scoops me out.
He's like, "Let me get a hug."
He's smelling all good,
looking all delicious.
Nice meeting you honey.
- We're gonna wake up.
- Huh?
- Okay?
- Okay. Thank you.
- I really think Dime
and Richie are hitting
it off, you know,
she said he was
looking like a snack
and he pulling her chair
out and all that, you know,
like gentleman shit, so,
I think I did a good job
with thinking two would
be a cute little match
for each other.
- 'Cause I like
this woman already,
'cause she about the business.
- So what kind of
business do you do?
- I'm an IT architect, I
do real estate investment.
- I felt like Mama
Bear at this table,
'cause I wasn't interested,
except for I was interested
in the guy who was a little,
he had a weird personality
but he was definitely
on his money game.
- So what do you wanna
be when you grow up?
- Listen, I don't
know who you is,
this man is conducting
all the questions.
Listen.
- Okay.
- Let's redirect this.
- Alright, we gonna
redirect this.
- We gonna get to the questions?
- One of them was just
talking too damn much,
he got on my nerve.
- Whatcha y'all want?
Whatcha y'all want?
Y'all want girlfriends?
Y'all want fuck buddies?
Whatcha y'all want?
- You gotta get to know
somebody first, damn!
- They know what they want.
- Good lord.
- But we got going on.
Whatcha y'all want?
- No, honestly, I'm looking
to have somebody I could
have a good time with.
I like to travel, I
like to go out of town.
- You think because
we're strippers,
we're just fun
out-of-town buddies.
'Cause you was like ooh.
- He don't even know
we were strippers.
- Oh well, I mean...
- You just told him.
- Oops, sorry.
- Let's talk about
what's outside the club.
- Yes.
- So what, are you
guys wanting kids?
Anybody want kids?
Anybody wanna get married?
- I would love to get married
and I would love kids.
- I have a six and seven
year-old, a boy and girl,
so I don't want any kids.
- Are you married?
- I'm divorced.
- Oh, you're divorced.
- Oh, you all worn the fuck out.
Two kids that's back to
back and a failed marriage,
your ass is tired.
Shit.
- Down the line, I would
love to get married--
- Down the line sounds
like a long ass time.
- Why you make a bitch
goddamn stop fucking with you,
'cause it's like, damn
nigga, down what line?
You got three more
lines 'til you 30.
What line you wanna go down.
Yeah, y'all just
here trying to see
what the hell y'all
can catch right quick.
- It was nice meeting you guys,
not you.
- It's okay.
- I see you in the streets.
- The feeling's mutual.
- So I am definitely happy
that La'Bri told Richie to come
because at first, I was
just like, it's no hope,
but that man is fine.
- I definitely had fun
at the wine tasting.
Speed dating.
Can I take the cup with me?
- You can drink it real fast.
- So today I'm meeting
with two of the kids
from my nonprofit,
Zaire and Jaisean.
I'm gonna follow up with them
to make sure the kids are
doing exactly what they said
that they were gonna do.
You already know what you want?
- Mm-hmm.
- You know what you
want already too?
Okay.
- Thank you.
- Grabbed that thing with
the quickness, didn't ya.
She wants salty caramel
and I'll just take vanilla.
- Thank you.
- So how y'all been?
- Good.
- Really straight, working.
- Uh huh.
- You know I just
got out this morning.
- Got out of where?
- I was incarcerated.
- Jaisean.
Is it behind a fight at school?
- Yeah. 'Cause they had
beat up security guard,
you know they
already took my life,
so I deal'd, you feel me,
I go back to them
and they get me my little
suspension or whatnot,
but they said they had
a warrant for my arrest
for like two weeks
but I didn't know
so I paid mine and
got out this morning.
I been taking therapy though,
but I ain't been working.
'Cause it's like, he a cracker,
I mean, he a white person.
Naw, he cool, he
straight but it's like,
when I be talking to him,
it's like I can't
talk to nobody,
that ain't been there,
been in my shoes,
you feel what I'm saying.
- Right.
- So it's like, I can't tell
him, he be like,
okay okay okay okay, that's
what I'm getting from him.
- You decide what you
gonna to school for?
- Yes, civil engineering.
- Okay.
I met Zaire and Jaisean
through me substituting
at one of the high schools
and Jaisean, he walks
in the class late,
he thought he was gonna
come in and be disruptive,
but after we spoke
and we had some words,
he was like, "You know this
lady, she's pretty good."
You and I talked about young
girls when y'all graduate,
the first thing you guys
wanna do is be strippers.
- Mm-hmm.
- Why do you feel that everybody
wants to be a stripper,
once they graduate high school?
- Maybe it's like an
easy quick way to money
and it's not like you
selling your private,
it's just like,
it's entertainment.
I feel like it's entertainment.
It's the quick,
easy route to money.
- Okay, so Zari does
not know that I dance.
Of course I keep it a
secret from my students,
because I don't ever
want them to feel
like, "You're doing
it, why can't I do it?"
Do you still feel that's
something you wanna do?
- You wanna do that
for real though?
- No, I mean, I know,
I don't think I could
do it personally,
but I support my friend.
- I know 'cause we
had that conversation
and I kinda told you guys
that's not the path to take,
I couldn't tell you why
and how I knew but...
- The money would
be great, but--
- But it's not, it's a lot of
deeper than just the money.
It's mentally...
even your self esteem
goes down at times.
Ya know what I'm saying,
and then you have some people
who don't like
dancers, whatsoever,
and they're gonna be
like, "Oh you a ho,"
- Right.
- "You're this, you're that."
They wanna do this lifestyle
for the glitz and glam
and it's not that at all.
But when the show airs,
they're definitely gonna know
that I am a dancer
and I am going to have a
lot of explaining to do.
Always gonna be here for
y'all and you know that.
- Of course.
- And anything you need
help with as far as college,
you know I'm coming
to your graduation,
I already told you.
I need you to stay
out of trouble,
'cause I need you to be
walking across that stage
in your cap and gown.
- I'm gonna do that, regardless.
- And as for as with you,
Imma catch up with you too,
and keep me posted on
college and everything.
- Okay, I will.
- Okay, let's finish up our ice
cream and get up outta here.
- Today, I meet with G,
also known as G Visuals.
He's a director here in Atlanta.
I would really like
for G to take my brand
to the next level
through this promotion.
So it's basically like a
commercial for my line.
So I'm really excited
'cause it's gonna be
my first commercial.
- Chin's out, close
your eyes, look up now.
Lick your lips one time.
Lick them one more time.
Nice.
- That was cute.
Right, oh my god, that was cute.
- And action.
- I liked it.
Yes, this says we're nothing
but La'Bri cosmetics.
- What's the tagline?
Say it again?
- We're nothing but
La'Bri cosmetics.
- Okay, I might have
to get you saying that,
that way we can
put it at the end.
So when we complete
this project,
what kinda, whatchu want,
whatchu want the people,
whatchu want the masters to be?
So when I get together with
my editor and everything
and we kinda got the
flow that you want.
- I really want the ladies
that wear my products
to feel confident,
unique, and empowered.
I just want people
to look at it bigger.
You know, I don't
know how that like,
I want them to see it as
as they see MAC or Sephora.
- I got your email about
making it a little edgy,
that's why I put
the orange in there.
You cool with that?
- I like that.
For the next one, can
we try another color?
- Yeah, yeah, we get
in there and do yours.
- I am so--
- And cut, cut.
Come over here and look
this over, Shaunte.
- I decided to take G's
advice and use Shaunte Renee.
She has a really pretty
face and I love her lips
and getting to tell her
what I wanted to see her do,
it was dope, I liked
it, I enjoyed myself.
- Let's change the
background on the light
and you need to
own your shoulders.
- Cover your biddies.
There you go. Thanks.
Put your hair behind
your shoulders.
Keep your hands straight,
look at the camera.
As you lick it,
you gonna suck on it or
whatever you doing to it.
- I'm 100% confident
in my promo,
like I really think G
nailed it, I nailed it,
I'm just excited to see
the finished product.
- And got it.
- How does one suck with
it, is it with one hand,
is it with two,
- With a lotta spit?
- It's like the ladies FNL show.
Have you ever watched
them do your feet?
And they be like with
two hands, up and down.
- What like--
- And a whole bunch of lotion,
yeah, you be like
I got your game,
- So that's how you suck a dick.
- Yeah, you gotta
try it that way.
- Do you look at him
in his eyes though?
- Yes, ma'am.
- I look at a nigga in his soul.
- You give him that death stare.
- Well you give them the death
stare with a dance, goddang,
I'm scared of you.
- I gotta be all
in them, like yes,
- I be wanting a nigga
be driving home goddamn,
like this bitch,
that's the type of shit..
- Today, I'm gonna shoot
with my awesome photographer,
Gio Mondelli, he shoots
with all the celebrities,
high-fashion models in Atlanta.
I've been working with him
for at least five years
Lingling is going
to be my model.
And this is the new
beginning for Angel Kake.
What have you been doing lately?
- So I have been
gone a little while.
I've been constantly busy.
Running around, trying to get
things in order, you know,
really just been trying to
network with my modeling.
- That's nice.
- I got to see my son, you know,
got to spend time with
him for his birthday.
Can't believe he's eight.
They grow up so fast, right?
So I actually got to
fly to the West Coast
and see my son.
You know it wasn't forever,
but the little time I did
get to spend with my son,
it really refueled my
heart with a lotta love.
How old's your little boy now?
- Seven, so they would be
like perfect age to play.
- Perfect.
- What part of California?
- He's in the Bay Area.
- Oh right.
- I actually didn't know
that LingLing's son
lived in California.
Her hanging out with her son,
that has to bring like
tons of joy to her life.
My line is for all sizes,
and so most of my
models are high-fashion
and I thought she'd
be really perfect.
- I just wanna say thank you
for you know, letting
me be here with you,
'cause like, it
just to me was like,
she wants me?
- Yeah, you're gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- So Angel Kake is
happy to have you.
- Thank you!
- And so I brought tons
of styles for you today.
- I love the way this looks.
- That looks perfect on you.
Everything in my line,
actually it goes on
a high-fashion model,
it goes on a really curvy girl,
it can go on a plus-size model.
- Don't lean forward.
And just push your hips
out to the side more.
There we go.
- Yes, exactly.
- Keep your shoulders
toward the camera.
Good.
- Perfect.
- Okay.
- How about an expression
to open your mouth
just a little tiny bit?
Just use your eyes, okay?
- I think she did a great job.
It looked great,
her makeup was good.
We didn't do too
crazy on the hair
so it worked out really well.
- Give me a little smile,
just little, there we go.
Good.
That's good.
Good.
Alright, perfect.
- Can I take some of
the ones we just...
- Yeah, we'll take
a quick look here.
- I feel that the
photo shoot went great.
I think for me, I'm like,
shoot, something I love to do,
so I try to kill it.
- No Photoshop needed.
- Right right.
- I'm supposed to meet
with Angel Kake and Stormy
at the coffee shop.
And of course, Stormy is
running late, as usual,
but she checked in, she
says she's on her way,
so hopefully,
she'll be here soon.
- Hey Miss Dime.
- Hey. You're
with the fur coat.
- It feels like I haven't seen
you for some days, I guess--
- I know.
- What have you been doing?
- Um...
So look, y'all better
not fucking judge me.
'Cause you know,
I was telling my
friend the other day,
you know, I want an
open relationship,
I like open relationships,
people say they wanna spend
the rest of their life
with one person,
but of course, it's
gonna get boring.
So I just feel like
if I get married,
me and my husband, we can
spice up our relationship
by inviting women in.
To me, the more the merrier, so.
- So would you gonna
sleep with the girls too,
or how is that gonna work?
- Yeah.
- So you was gonna, y'all was
gonna do the girl together.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then, and then--
- It depends on how I'm feeling,
'cause it might be I
just wanna watch him.
- Okay.
But when you do
something with her,
like what are you
gonna do to her?
- What girls do
when they have sex?
- So you do this often?
Sheesh.
Dime wants to have an open
relationship with her mate.
My personal opinion,
I wouldn't do it,
but if it's, you
know, fun for her,
I think she should do it.
I can't, I could not
love another woman.
- But you'll have sex with one.
- You taking too long.
- Of course not, of course not.
- You know what,
I like you better
when you keep to one thousand.
Don't sugar coat with me.
I feel like Angel's confused
when she says she doesn't
believe in open relationships
and then she goes back and
say that all men cheat.
It's like, okay, if you know
your man is gonna cheat,
then why don't you lessen the
chances of him cheating on you
with you guys going out
and having fun together.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Don't stop.
- Okay, alright.
I like your hair.
- I like yo feet, girl.
- Oh, thank you.
- Hey, how's are you doing?
- Good.
- Awesome.
Why y'all didn't
get me no coffee?
- Girl, we--
- Y'all didn't think
I want no coffee?
- I'm trying to, this hair!
- You like it?
- Oh my god.
- It was honestly a mistake
but it's kinda cute, right?
Ya, I still got her
too, you know that?
You know it's like, you
gotta remind yourself
that you still got it, you know?
- What was your
dance name, girl?
- It was Stormy.
- Stormy.
- I kept my same name.
- Why you was late?
- So I got pulled over.
I apologize for being late.
Thank you, I really do.
- Well, I'm glad you
okay though, seriously.
- My goal was just to get
an update on their progress
and just make sure that
some of the things I share
with them that they
should be doing
that they were really doing it
and not just getting caught up.
So whatcha y'all been doing?
Whatcha been doing?
- I been just kinda getting
ready to relaunch my dresses.
- The boutique and stuff?
- Yeah.
- I thought you
did a photo shoot.
- We did. These
are the pictures.
- Okay good, so we
got some progress.
- Yeah. They are not edited.
- Oh let me see.
So you sell these though?
- Mm-hmm.
- This is cute
but you definitely giving
them boobs right here.
I'm like she selling the
dress with the boobs, girl.
What's for sale here?
Oh, she modeled for you.
- Uh huh.
- How cute. Y'all little friend.
- Don't. That's not nice.
- The pettiest...
- Oh that's cute.
I'm not, I'm just saying
y'all got a friend.
This is cute.
- Why she just
can't be our friend?
Why she gotta be little?
- She is little.
It's a compliment.
Why you always gotta think
I'm trying to be funny.
That's you trying to be funny.
- 'Cause you is.
- No, I'm not.
- 'Cause you is.
- She looks really cute.
- I feel like sometimes,
she wanna help us
from the bottom of her heart,
but a lot of it is
just to stroke her ego,
to feel like we
actually do need her
in order to be these
successful businesswomen.
And I went to your lady too.
- Who?
- The one who did the
wigs you referred me to?
- Yvonne?
- Yeah.
- What did she do?
- She just basically
told me, you know,
what she do, what she don't do,
how long she been doing wigs.
- But I have someone else I
want to introduce you too.
She lives in D.C.
- Okay.
- She's getting insurance
money for the wigs that you--
- Yeah, that's who I
thought she was, but okay.
- I'll do a call
with you and her.
- Okay.
- I think that Dime does
really want to be successful.
I think that Dime just
has so much going on,
I don't know if
it's gonna happen,
because I see her
being inconsistent
in her desire to get it done.
- When can we finish our
vision board party, 'cause--
- That's what I'm saying,
we could bring some wine
and some waters and some fruits
and we could all sit down
and complete our boards.
- I bring the wine.
- Y'all seem so nice
and like, I love y'all.
Not that I'm mommy but
I just wanna help y'all.
So if y'all don't mind,
we are gonna work on
being intentional.
Like you, you are
the Instagram queen.
Like every day is
something new from you.
Like start posting
more about the kids
and the wigs and stuff.
I think that would be good.
- Not, not on that page.
- See, that's what I
was about to say, yeah,
'cause my manager was like,
"Look we got to do
you a whole new--"
- Right, but you have a lot of
traffic on your current page
so you wanna
redirect those people
and then remember
the ones that--
- No.
- No, no, no, I'm telling you
from a marketing perspective,
you still wanna promote
on your existing page
because people like you
on your current page.
But you just
redirect from that--
- Well she can post like, do
a post, and then take it down.
- I love you so dearly but see,
this is where we gonna
have a conflict, ladies.
- I think that Stormy,
I admire her great work
and that she's not
a dancer anymore
but I do not, at
the end of the day,
if you're not
selling shit for her,
she doesn't really give a fuck.
So do you actually do
your own marketing?
- Listen, I do my own marketing.
I make a lot of money
from social media.
I'm telling you that
there are people
who currently live on your page
that need to be redirected.
- And they wanna support you.
- That's it and they wanna buy.
So we gonna redirect those
people to our new page.
And we're not gonna
argue about what's right.
- Okay, that was
just telling you--
- But I have to go, ladies,
I love y'all so much,
it's been so well.
It's been well seeing
you girls today.
And I will be looking forward
to seeing you girls on Sunday.
- Hello everyone.
- Hey hey hey.
Don't you look all pretty.
- Girl, please. That's you.
- You look cute!
You so pretty, I love your hair.
So pretty.
- Thank you.
You know, had to put
some curls in today.
- LingLing is here and
she has to know no idea
that I'm going to
give her the money
that I raised for her and
I figure what better time.
I am so happy you're here
because I have something
that I want to give you.
- Mm-kay.
- Well LingLing, I want
to give you something.
- Hold on, don't don't
don't give me nothing.
- And I really hope
with everything
that you receive this in the
same way I'm giving it to you
with like all of the love.
I know we had this
talk and you know,
with what you were going
through with your skin cancer,
and everything and nobody knew.
I know you didn't know,
so when you were asking me
did I want you to help me out,
all of that was for you, that's
why I didn't let you come.
I feel great when I'm
helping somebody out,
literally couldn't
even sleep last night,
like I was smiling
the whole way here.
I think I even broke down
and cried a couple times
in the car just
thinking about it,
because that's how warm
and fuzzy it makes me feel
to know that I'm
doing something good.
I'm giving somebody
a break, you know.
- Ja couldn't make it because
he had an event out of town,
but he did send
me a text message
and said that I have his
support, nevertheless, so.
- Just take it and
just know that--
- No, I can't take
no money from you.
- Girl, here take this.
Lilia picked this
bow too, by the way.
- It's so.
- I just want you
to know that just
from one mom to another,
one fighter to...
- When LeaLea surprised
LingLing with her fundraising,
I thought that was
very nice for her
to help her with her problem.
- Everybody be thinking of
themselves, but you not,
you not, and I meant
it when I told you
that I was gonna do my part
to help you so.
Open it, just read the card.
You don't have to
take out the money.
You don't have to just,
but I just want you
to read the words
and know that it came
straight from my heart.
- Did she lick it or did
you lick it?
- Girl, I licked it but
I didn't suck no dick
before I licked it, so.
- Even if you did.
- So go girl.
- If it's one thing
life has taught me is
that success is not final.
Failure is not fatal.
It is the courage to
continue that counts.
And you my dear, are as
courageous as they come.
Love you 'til life.
Thank you babe.
For her to say that everything
that she did for me,
that card and all the
love that was made with,
it shocked me.
- I just wanted to do
that for you before I left
because I wanted to see
that beautiful smile.
- Thank you.
- Aw, let me give some
hugs, that was so sweet.
- Thank you.
- God bless you.
- Thank you.
- But you got this.
- Got it.
- Girl, I was telling y'all.
- Damn!
- Not her.
None of this would be possible.
So I would like to thank my mom
for taking one for the team.
'Cause she left me--
- I think they might be like.
- Has a short nigga ever
tried to get up there?
- You know I don't do short men.
I don't like eye-level dudes,
like, I need to, I
have to look up to you.
- Short dudes got a complex.
- Why do short dudes
be having a big old...
When a man is short, but
he already has his own,
like you know, short people
problems, you know what I mean?
This, just, it's a fact.
- Today, I'm meeting
Doctor Norman.
This gentleman walks
out with this big ax.
I don't know what
she's getting me into,
I don't have any idea.
- Okay Laina, this activity
is for you to release anger.
I know you feel unworthy,
I know you feel that your
mom did not love you.
I need for you to release
all negative energy.
The man you love dearly,
he pimped you out.
- This is for my
mom abandoning me.
Drugs. My grandpa.
This for my dad passing away.
My struggle.
- Yes, excellent.
Good job, Laina. Good job.
- Throughout the years
of my life growing up,
I cried every night.
It's so much pain I endure
that I don't think I
can endure any more.
It's just like, in me.
I'm just used to it.
- Laina, repeat after me.
I am powerful.
- I am powerful.
- I am strong.
- I am strong.
- I am worthy.
- I am worthy.
- I am intelligent.
- I am intelligent.
- I am beautiful.
- I am beautiful.
- I am loved.
- I am loved.
- I need you to repeat
that on a daily basis.
- I really don't like
opening up to people
and she made me feel more
comfortable with talking to her
and letting her know my issues.
- We have a lot of built-up
anger inside of us.
As black women, you
are so beautiful.
The entertaining life,
that was a season for you.
It gave you money you needed,
probably some resources,
but that's not it and
that's not all for you.
I am here for you, 100%.
- Yes and I appreciate it.
- Okay. Alright. Okay.
- I believe that everything
starts with a vision.
Without vision,
people will perish.
And so I wanted to show these
girls that I got their backs.
So I invited all of the girls,
even LeaLea and LongLong,
whatever her name is, I
invited all the girls.
And LeaLea showed up
and LangLang got mad.
Shit, that's the girl's name?
Man, what's the
damn girl's name?
- I can't be myself.
I don't want to sit like
and feel like I'm sick.
I don't want to
sit there and feel
like I'm obligated
to smile in her face,
knowing what happened
the last time.
So I came to the
visual party and,
something about my gut
just didn't feel right
and I come in, and I
turn my butt around.
I realized where I was at.
Not for me.
- Hey girls
- Hi, come--
- Hey, how you doing?
Great to see you.
- Your house is beautiful.
How are you?
Hey beautiful, give me hug.
How are you?
I saved you for last,
Imma speak to you.
How you doing, man?
You okay? Alright.
Y'all excited?
- Yes.
- I can't tell.
- Yes we are.
- Why y'all seem so low?
- I decide against my
better judgment to stay
and try to be a bigger person
and just kinda see if
somehow this could go
in a positive way.
- What's her name again?
- LeaLea.
- Hi LeaLea.
- Hi.
- You look cute with
your purple bun, girl.
- Thank you, it's pink.
- It's a lot of colors,
it's not just pink,
it's like five colors, purple--
- Thank you.
I appreciate it, I
really appreciate it.
- Okay, you gonna
be present today
or you gonna be on your phone?
- Well obviously--
- It's up to you,
'cause today a new day.
So you gonna be present today,
we gonna get ready for 2018.
You know, the economics
that you working on,
manifest that all next year.
Or you gonna be on your
phone the whole time?
It's up to you, your choice.
- Well let's have a good time.
- Come here, come.
Let's let's, come here.
Listen.
Immediately like, the mood
changes, because the last time
Stormy and LeaLea was together,
it was not good at all.
I'm just hoping that
everything goes peacefully.
I need you to be the bigger
person in this situation
and just pull her to the
side and talk to her.
You have to remember
we're at your house,
she needs to feel comfortable.
You just do that.
- She wouldn't even look.
- Just pull--
- Okay okay okay.
- Breathe.
- You don't, you
don't need to do that.
She don't have to be
the bigger person.
For what? For what? Like, no.
- 'Cause we're
doing positivity--
- No, 'cause in order
for, I'm in your house,
and if you want this
to go successfully,
I feel like there should
have been something,
like other than,
like the nitpicking,
you were trying to
do from the start.
- It's like you wanna find
a reason not to talk to me.
Like, you really, like
confrontation, like for real.
I spoke to you last
because that's my goal.
My goal was to pull
you to the side.
- Imma go.
'Cause I was gonna try
to do this the right way.
But it's not gonna--
- Just stay and work it out.
- Today's a new day.
- So we not gonna do this.
If she wanna leave,
let her leave.
Like, come on, when
are you gonna do away
with your childish ways?
At least she coulda, she
won't even look at me.
Girl, we is adults.
I'm not doing that
We not doing that
energy again today.
You're in my home, you know me
and we don't deal
with each other.
And so instead of you
at least looking up,
you looking down at your phone.
Girl, I don't kiss ass.
And I don't do it anymore.
And I have no need
to do it with you.
- Take this off of me.
- I don't want to keep
going back and forth with,
what's her name again?
- LeaLea.
- With LeaLea.
It's come to a point in your
life where you gotta be mature.
Act like little kids--
- I'm the fucking mature
one, I'm in your house,
and instead of you
coming over there
and saying, "you
know what LeaLea,
I know this is the
first time we talked--"
- LeaLea, you didn't
give me a chance.
- You had all the opportunity--
- You didn't give me, no listen,
if you woulda let, another
30 minutes, or another
if you woulda let, another
30 minutes, or another hour,
if people don't
go by your rules,
then you wanna be
confrontational.
You didn't even
give me a chance.
Give me a chance, girl.
You really, seriously,
like for real,
you are a very pretty girl
but you have really have
some internal issues
that you should really work on.
Seriously. Seriously.
No, no, no, seriously.
I really want her--
- Remember I told you to
take a step back sometimes.
- Girl, I'm already
done breathe,
I'm on a whole another
planet right now.
I'm not even that right now.
You really have some
internal issues.
Time to release yourself from
whatever issues you have.
Yes, bye bye, please,
get up out of here.
You leaving?
I don't want to close the door.
You leaving?
You can stay, I'm not
even gonna argue with you.
Either way, go in or out
baby, it's your choice.
Where my sage?
- Please do not follow
me with that camera.
- I don't want that in my house.
- This is the last
time we talked.
Please do not follow
me with that camera.
- Let me sage out.
Can y'all just enjoy
what drink ya want,
let me get rid of
her energy for real.
No.
- Y'all want this
to really be cool
and y'all not really want that.
- How do you,
I'm in somebody's house
that I argue with.
There's been no conversation
midway, no nothing.
- Get her out.
For real.
I tell y'all until
she find Jesus,
She been in some holy
water or somebody's church.
Don't bring that
lady back over here.
- I didn't know where I
was coming 'til I got here.
So I got here
feeling blindsided.
- It was my understanding
that you were both
open to having this.
- No. No.
I said I was open
to her apologizing.
- Not gonna happen.
So I just don't think they
should talk to each other.
They need to stay the fuck
away from each other, honestly.
'Cause I just don't see
none of that shit happening.
- She wanted to do a
vision board party,
she passed an invite to you.
- Why would I just
show up to her house
for a vision board if I
never even had a conversation
after the fight?
- She was supposed to
pull you to the side.
Whatever happened, how it
happened, it didn't happen.
- Yeah, 'cause she
wants to be nasty.
- I think that LeaLea
could have stayed.
I mean come on, we're grown-ups.
Like I know how to ignore
somebody who I don't like.
You're gonna find the
same problem in life
You might not like your boss,
but you don't get to leave.
You gotta stay there.
You gotta put up with the
bullshit and just keep it going.
- Do not follow me
with that camera.
Imma go.
Stormy and I were
never friends anyway.
I didn't know her,
she doesn't know me.
There's nothing to me and
there's no pressure on me
to make things right because
I didn't make things wrong.
- The man you want girl,
you know you want that man.
- Today is my day.
- So you got it for real girl!
I could see it.
Come on girl, it's your turn.
- Today is the day.
- You gotta say today is my day.
- Today is the day
that I move the fuck on
because I'm single now.
- Oh my god.
I'm in and out a relationship.
I'm not in a relationship
and when I get in a relationship
that's a real,
fucking relationship,
then I'll treat that
relationship as if it's real.
Until then, I have to
keep my options open
and do what the fuck I wanna do.
- Today.
- Today is my day.
- Here's the goal.
I been doing vision boards
for the past ten years.
And literally like
my old board is old
and everything needs
to go in the garbage
because everything
that's on the board--
- Came to pass.
- Everything except I'm single.
- I understand.
- But everything from
like the Rolls Royce
that I wanted is on my board.
White, the same color,
the same inside,
from my house that I have now,
it looks similar to the
board I cut out from paper.
So when we do these boards,
like we have to take
it very seriously.
- Right now, I'm so focused
on growing my business
that I put my 100% into.
I am just grateful that this
show has given me a platform
to begin to open a career.
I'm gonna be done
with this lifestyle.
I can put it to an end so
that when this is done,
I have a stable environment
for me and my son.
I never was that girl who
dreamed about a wedding.
Like I don't really envision
this beautiful gown.
- You don't?
- Just being real,
Angel, that might be why
you haven't found nobody
who you're really interested in.
Whatever you think in your head,
to me, you can
possess in your hand.
That's how I think like,
You guys have seen me grow.
You guys have watched my love
life have some ups and downs.
But overall, I am happy
that I met
'cause he did invest in me
and get me out of the club.
So I'll always be
thankful for that,
so I won't have anything
negative to say about him ever,
but I got some good
advice, I met some people
that I will most definitely
have a connection with.
And I'm just really
excited about my future
and my business taking off
and just seeing what
God has in store for me
and La'Bri Cosmetics.
- The goal is to
fill this board up.
Today's vision becomes
tomorrow's reality.
Like even if you see a
car, you see a Bugatti
and it does something
to your spirit,
but you think I would never
be able to afford that,
yes, you can.
- At the end of the day
when it's all said and done,
I'm just happy I'm not
living a double life anymore.
You know, I'm ready to
hang up my dance shoes,
ready to go forward in
life with my nonprofits.
Me and my daughter,
we're in a good place.
I'm in a good place.
And I just hope everyone
can see the type
of person that I am.
I'm just a hustler just
like everybody else,
trying to survive by
any means necessary.
So hopefully, this will
be a great new beginning
to my success in all
my business ventures.
- What happened to all y'all
little friend, LingLing?
- Well, when I came
up, I saw her leaving.
I was trying to figure
out the same thing
but she didn't even speak to me
so y'all know I'm fucking here
because I don't speak
unless I'm spoken to.
- Why didn't she speak to you?
- I don't know.
I didn't really care to ask.
- I've had a lot
of ups and downs.
And I've kinda
been open about it.
I've shown that
it's okay to fall
as long as you try
and get back up.
I hope you see that
these little pieces
of my life can help you.
You have to stay strong-minded,
you have to stay willed.
You know, I would
never give up my son.
And watch me, I'm
gonna conquer it.
I'll be cancer-free.
- What is wrong
with these girls?
What happened to the other one?
- This was a very good
experience for me.
I learned a lot
from all the ladies.
I would like to have a sit down
and have counseling with my mom.
She still on drugs
but she's like not in
the streets right now.
She got her own place
and I wanted to help
maintain that with her.
- The one who just left,
what's the girl's
name who just left?
- LeaLea?
- LeaLea.
- In doing this show, I
learned when I had to deal
with someone like Stormy, it
is so easy for those people
to get you out of character.
I don't care how positive
you think you are.
In a matter of seconds,
for someone to bring that
negative energy in there
and literally, it
took me days to get
that negative energy out of me
because I just was
not used to it.
I was so taken back by it.
But to date, after wrapping up,
I ended up finding out
that I was about to have to
go through treatment again.
The doctors went in and
they found cancer again.
It took me a long
time to feel it.
And by the time I felt it, it
had so much infection there,
so they had to go in and
cut this hole in my stomach.
So now I have a little
hole in my stomach
but I'm not afraid because
I've been here before
and I've come way too
far to turn back now.
So it's so not
like I have cancer.
Cancer has me now.
And LeaLea is a much
bigger problem than cancer,
just ask my baby daddy.
- What most people do is
they start their boarding,
never finish it and wonder why
they can't complete nothing.
So it's like everything
that makes you feel good,
everything, like sometimes
people say you drink too big,
you, no no no, like
whatever it is.
So my ultimate goal,
genuinely, was to connect
with these women, inspire
them through my life,
through my journey.
So I hope that
Angel Kake is able
to create her clothing line
and I pray that of course,
Dime was able to pursue all
of these multiple businesses
that she desires to create.
I pray that La'Bri does very
well with her makeup line.
I feel as if I did my
very best to connect.
I opened the door.
I showed them my truth.
I was transparent. I was open.
And so I just hope that
this particular season
of their lives,
they learn something
that they can take
into the world
and change the lives of so
many other people as I have.
Okay, come on y'all, it's
time to go y'all, I'm ready.
- I'm telling you.
- You always kick us out!
- So who is this man?
- I just met someone.
I'm tired of being
single, I'm sorry.
- Who you met?
- I'm not gonna tell you
'cause I'm scared you--
No, you look cute.
You like money and
to be treated right.
But you know, for a long time,
I tell myself, like you
say, Angel, all men cheat,
so I tell myself, shit, I
dunno who the fuck imma marry,
or who imma be with,
but I just know my nigga
gonna take care of me.
Imma be put up.
And that was okay with me
but now I feel like I
could genuinely be in love
and actually be happy.
- You can. Girl, you
a beautiful girl.
- I always know I
was gonna put up.
- Well you should
move out of Atlanta.
- Why?
- Yes, and go somewhere
in the country, I agree.
- Just to look for
a nigga, for real?
- No!
- No!
- Do you feel like
there's gonna be backlash
for being a black man and
you hiring other black women
to do a show about strippers?
- The network is
owned by black men.
The studio is
owned by black men.
- Correct.
- The producer is a black woman,
and my show is about
all black women.
- It took Shante
super powers to...
- Yeah, it was Mark's
concept and then,
and Mark got it
to, with the help
of some of our other friends.
- Right.
- Got it to Rob Johnson.
- But you're the person
for it though, Shante.
- Aw.
- I mean you are, clearly.
- It takes a woman to
tell a woman's story.
- Right.
- I feel like if a man would
have tried to tell the story,
it would have come
off a lot different.
- Well, what are you
saying to the naysayers?
- The naysayers, if they have
any negative thing to say,
they really, really did
not really watch this show.
- Listen, reality show people,
I will fuck me a motherfucker
up, believe that!
- Let her go!
- So I want you to
be a good example
of how I mopped yo
ass across the floor.
- So now you know
I'm mad with you
about your little
crazy friends that came
to my house the
other day, right?
What's wrong with her?
Something is wrong with her.
- I just feel like
both of you guys
rub each other the wrong way.
- But you not gone come in my
house and be disrespectful.
- Could you help me
with my cosmetic line?
Like I need a really
dope promo piece.
- Just how soon are you ready?
- Tomorrow.
- Shit, we shooting
tomorrow, you ready?
- So I wanna talk
to you a little more
about the situation with my son.
- You was going through
something in your life
and you dropped the ball, man.
- My mom, she didn't raise me.
My mom's been on drugs
since I've been born.
- So have you been
staying clean, mom?
- Trying.
- You trying?
- All those birthdays
you feel like she missed,
it will be worth it.
- To release that energy,
sometimes when you do
some physical activity.
Would that be something you
would be interested in doing?
- Yes it would.
- The King and
Queens of Tomorrow is
my nonprofit organization
that I started.
- Thank you for coming
out, no problem!
- Hey, hey.
- I've known Yung Joc for
some time and I wanna ask him,
would he be willing to
help do the fundraiser,
Save the Tatas.
- Cause I mean I lost a aunt,
I lost her to breast cancer.
My sister was diagnosed
with breast cancer.
- Right, right.
- You know,
so I'm definitely with it.
- Okay so we gonna
do the speed dating?
- Okay and I think honestly
nobody should tell
somebody to come
who they done fucked before.
- Well I'm gonna be in trouble.
- Thank you!
- So me, La'Bri, and Angel
are all meeting the guys
that we met on Instagram
for the speed dating today.
And hopefully the girls picked
some very handsome guys.
- What are you guys toasting to?
- Tonight.
- Tonight.
- I agreed to go to the
speed dating at the sex shop
because I thought it
would be fun, for one,
and I mean, I like drinking,
so shit, wine tasting's fun.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- I'm good, how you doing?
- Good, good.
- I wanted to introduce
you to my friend, Dime.
- Hi, hey how are you?
- Hi fellas,
how you guys doing?
- Richie, nice to meet you.
- I'm Bri, what's your name?
- Nice to meet you, Dime.
- I've seen you around.
- Hi, how you guys doing?
- Hello, how are you doing?
- Hi, how are you?
- Hello.
- Hey, how you doing?
How are you?
I'm Dime.
- Is any of y'all trainers?
Okay, yeah I'm lazy,
I just waist train.
I don't work out.
I just wear my waist
trainer all fucking day.
I took it off before
I came in here.
- Does it work?
- Yes.
- Alright.
Dang, it's doing
more than working.
- Something's happening.
I ain't seen the process
but yeah.
- Yes.
- And what about you?
- Well, I have a few
nonprofit organizations.
- Oh that's awesome.
- Where I make wigs for kids
and things like that 'cause
I'm in the school system.
So I have also a
nonprofit where basically,
we give back to the community.
- That's cool.
- Gonna be a good
relaxation moment for you.
- It sure will,
I'm pretty good tasting my wine.
- Hey, how are you?
- Hi, how are you?
- Oh, just in time
- Well guys, it was
nice talking to you.
- It's a pleasure,
it's a pleasure.
- Same here.
- Your attention right
quick, gentlemen.
Y'all follow me right quickly?
- Alright.
- 'Scuse me, man.
- 'Scuse me.
No, you're good, bro.
- Boy, you looking
like a whole snack.
Boy looking like a...
- See anybody you're
interested in?
- Yeah, it's about
maybe one or two.
- One or two, okay.
- What about you?
- You know me.
Plus, you know me and Nas
still going through it, so.
And then I'm just kinda
- Oh.
- Hi.
- Girl, y'all gon'
be back together.
You know how that goes.
- Right, that's the reason
why I don't need to
be looking right now.
- La'Bri and Nas'
relationship is
like how most typical
young relationships are.
One minute, they're on,
next minute, they're off.
I just know that's not
something I could do right now.
If your ass leave, you leave.
That's it.
So, yeah, Angel, she's
not answering her phone.
I don't know where she at.
- So let's hook the guys up
with the groups of threes
and see which ones are
the best fit for you
or who you like.
- I already know who
I want but okay okay okay.
I think when I walked in and we
made eye contact,
it was like, "Wow, finally."
- This is giving me
La'Bri of Love vibes.
I need my own show.
- Bitch you got a man.
What the hell is
you talking about?
- I still wanna get my show.
They be having people, too.
- What kind of gym
pants you wear?
- I'll wear whatever
you want me to wear.
- You wear gray sweatpants
or basketball shorts?
- Basketball shorts.
- Thank Jesus!
- Hey everybody.
Good evening.
- I am--
Fellas, look at you guys,
you guys look nice and handsome.
- Isn't she gorgeous?
- Oh I had just did
something before I got here.
- Girl, who you visiting
before you got here?
- You forgot to button it up.
- I'm joking.
So you got rid of
your girlfriend.
- Huh?
- You got rid of
your girlfriend.
- I never had a girlfriend.
- He had a girlfriend?
- He had something?
- I never had a girlfriend!
- Not this guy.
- He had a love mark on
his neck or something.
- That was a tattoo.
- Is that a hickey?
- No, not at all.
- Tell her that.
- I told you. Well I told her.
I think he a man ho.
- No one remembers it.
- If she remembers
it, I believe it.
- What do we keep talking about?
- So was it like a little
hickey or a big hickey?
So who in the hell else got a
girlfriend at this damn table?
Because I didn't know
- I don't need to be
grouped into the category
of having a girlfriend.
- Uh, uh. So you want
to date him, okay.
- First of all, you told
me this man had a hickey
on him a few weeks ago.
- Who don't got a
hickey on their neck?
- She still stalking him,
what you talking about?
You know it take a whole month
before we get another dick
before we move onto
the next nigga.
You said you don't have kids?
- No.
- And how old are you?
- 31.
- You don't want kids?
- Yes.
- Why you ain't have them?
- Pull out game strong.
- Okay that's not like good.
So you guys have the
same problem he has?
- I was working,
I was working, trying to
get established first.
- Oh.
- That's wassup,
and you, you just young still.
- I like that.
- I just,
I never had, not condom sex.
- I will fuck your life up.
It's, but, yeah,
I don't need to--
- I might need it.
- So what--
- Boy, this is some grown
woman shit over here.
- Right quickly ladies,
we gotta switch out and
bring in some other guys.
- See you later Kansas City.
- Richie comes around the table
and he literally just takes my
chair and just scoops me out.
He's like, "Let me get a hug."
He's smelling all good,
looking all delicious.
Nice meeting you honey.
- We're gonna wake up.
- Huh?
- Okay?
- Okay. Thank you.
- I really think Dime
and Richie are hitting
it off, you know,
she said he was
looking like a snack
and he pulling her chair
out and all that, you know,
like gentleman shit, so,
I think I did a good job
with thinking two would
be a cute little match
for each other.
- 'Cause I like
this woman already,
'cause she about the business.
- So what kind of
business do you do?
- I'm an IT architect, I
do real estate investment.
- I felt like Mama
Bear at this table,
'cause I wasn't interested,
except for I was interested
in the guy who was a little,
he had a weird personality
but he was definitely
on his money game.
- So what do you wanna
be when you grow up?
- Listen, I don't
know who you is,
this man is conducting
all the questions.
Listen.
- Okay.
- Let's redirect this.
- Alright, we gonna
redirect this.
- We gonna get to the questions?
- One of them was just
talking too damn much,
he got on my nerve.
- Whatcha y'all want?
Whatcha y'all want?
Y'all want girlfriends?
Y'all want fuck buddies?
Whatcha y'all want?
- You gotta get to know
somebody first, damn!
- They know what they want.
- Good lord.
- But we got going on.
Whatcha y'all want?
- No, honestly, I'm looking
to have somebody I could
have a good time with.
I like to travel, I
like to go out of town.
- You think because
we're strippers,
we're just fun
out-of-town buddies.
'Cause you was like ooh.
- He don't even know
we were strippers.
- Oh well, I mean...
- You just told him.
- Oops, sorry.
- Let's talk about
what's outside the club.
- Yes.
- So what, are you
guys wanting kids?
Anybody want kids?
Anybody wanna get married?
- I would love to get married
and I would love kids.
- I have a six and seven
year-old, a boy and girl,
so I don't want any kids.
- Are you married?
- I'm divorced.
- Oh, you're divorced.
- Oh, you all worn the fuck out.
Two kids that's back to
back and a failed marriage,
your ass is tired.
Shit.
- Down the line, I would
love to get married--
- Down the line sounds
like a long ass time.
- Why you make a bitch
goddamn stop fucking with you,
'cause it's like, damn
nigga, down what line?
You got three more
lines 'til you 30.
What line you wanna go down.
Yeah, y'all just
here trying to see
what the hell y'all
can catch right quick.
- It was nice meeting you guys,
not you.
- It's okay.
- I see you in the streets.
- The feeling's mutual.
- So I am definitely happy
that La'Bri told Richie to come
because at first, I was
just like, it's no hope,
but that man is fine.
- I definitely had fun
at the wine tasting.
Speed dating.
Can I take the cup with me?
- You can drink it real fast.
- So today I'm meeting
with two of the kids
from my nonprofit,
Zaire and Jaisean.
I'm gonna follow up with them
to make sure the kids are
doing exactly what they said
that they were gonna do.
You already know what you want?
- Mm-hmm.
- You know what you
want already too?
Okay.
- Thank you.
- Grabbed that thing with
the quickness, didn't ya.
She wants salty caramel
and I'll just take vanilla.
- Thank you.
- So how y'all been?
- Good.
- Really straight, working.
- Uh huh.
- You know I just
got out this morning.
- Got out of where?
- I was incarcerated.
- Jaisean.
Is it behind a fight at school?
- Yeah. 'Cause they had
beat up security guard,
you know they
already took my life,
so I deal'd, you feel me,
I go back to them
and they get me my little
suspension or whatnot,
but they said they had
a warrant for my arrest
for like two weeks
but I didn't know
so I paid mine and
got out this morning.
I been taking therapy though,
but I ain't been working.
'Cause it's like, he a cracker,
I mean, he a white person.
Naw, he cool, he
straight but it's like,
when I be talking to him,
it's like I can't
talk to nobody,
that ain't been there,
been in my shoes,
you feel what I'm saying.
- Right.
- So it's like, I can't tell
him, he be like,
okay okay okay okay, that's
what I'm getting from him.
- You decide what you
gonna to school for?
- Yes, civil engineering.
- Okay.
I met Zaire and Jaisean
through me substituting
at one of the high schools
and Jaisean, he walks
in the class late,
he thought he was gonna
come in and be disruptive,
but after we spoke
and we had some words,
he was like, "You know this
lady, she's pretty good."
You and I talked about young
girls when y'all graduate,
the first thing you guys
wanna do is be strippers.
- Mm-hmm.
- Why do you feel that everybody
wants to be a stripper,
once they graduate high school?
- Maybe it's like an
easy quick way to money
and it's not like you
selling your private,
it's just like,
it's entertainment.
I feel like it's entertainment.
It's the quick,
easy route to money.
- Okay, so Zari does
not know that I dance.
Of course I keep it a
secret from my students,
because I don't ever
want them to feel
like, "You're doing
it, why can't I do it?"
Do you still feel that's
something you wanna do?
- You wanna do that
for real though?
- No, I mean, I know,
I don't think I could
do it personally,
but I support my friend.
- I know 'cause we
had that conversation
and I kinda told you guys
that's not the path to take,
I couldn't tell you why
and how I knew but...
- The money would
be great, but--
- But it's not, it's a lot of
deeper than just the money.
It's mentally...
even your self esteem
goes down at times.
Ya know what I'm saying,
and then you have some people
who don't like
dancers, whatsoever,
and they're gonna be
like, "Oh you a ho,"
- Right.
- "You're this, you're that."
They wanna do this lifestyle
for the glitz and glam
and it's not that at all.
But when the show airs,
they're definitely gonna know
that I am a dancer
and I am going to have a
lot of explaining to do.
Always gonna be here for
y'all and you know that.
- Of course.
- And anything you need
help with as far as college,
you know I'm coming
to your graduation,
I already told you.
I need you to stay
out of trouble,
'cause I need you to be
walking across that stage
in your cap and gown.
- I'm gonna do that, regardless.
- And as for as with you,
Imma catch up with you too,
and keep me posted on
college and everything.
- Okay, I will.
- Okay, let's finish up our ice
cream and get up outta here.
- Today, I meet with G,
also known as G Visuals.
He's a director here in Atlanta.
I would really like
for G to take my brand
to the next level
through this promotion.
So it's basically like a
commercial for my line.
So I'm really excited
'cause it's gonna be
my first commercial.
- Chin's out, close
your eyes, look up now.
Lick your lips one time.
Lick them one more time.
Nice.
- That was cute.
Right, oh my god, that was cute.
- And action.
- I liked it.
Yes, this says we're nothing
but La'Bri cosmetics.
- What's the tagline?
Say it again?
- We're nothing but
La'Bri cosmetics.
- Okay, I might have
to get you saying that,
that way we can
put it at the end.
So when we complete
this project,
what kinda, whatchu want,
whatchu want the people,
whatchu want the masters to be?
So when I get together with
my editor and everything
and we kinda got the
flow that you want.
- I really want the ladies
that wear my products
to feel confident,
unique, and empowered.
I just want people
to look at it bigger.
You know, I don't
know how that like,
I want them to see it as
as they see MAC or Sephora.
- I got your email about
making it a little edgy,
that's why I put
the orange in there.
You cool with that?
- I like that.
For the next one, can
we try another color?
- Yeah, yeah, we get
in there and do yours.
- I am so--
- And cut, cut.
Come over here and look
this over, Shaunte.
- I decided to take G's
advice and use Shaunte Renee.
She has a really pretty
face and I love her lips
and getting to tell her
what I wanted to see her do,
it was dope, I liked
it, I enjoyed myself.
- Let's change the
background on the light
and you need to
own your shoulders.
- Cover your biddies.
There you go. Thanks.
Put your hair behind
your shoulders.
Keep your hands straight,
look at the camera.
As you lick it,
you gonna suck on it or
whatever you doing to it.
- I'm 100% confident
in my promo,
like I really think G
nailed it, I nailed it,
I'm just excited to see
the finished product.
- And got it.
- How does one suck with
it, is it with one hand,
is it with two,
- With a lotta spit?
- It's like the ladies FNL show.
Have you ever watched
them do your feet?
And they be like with
two hands, up and down.
- What like--
- And a whole bunch of lotion,
yeah, you be like
I got your game,
- So that's how you suck a dick.
- Yeah, you gotta
try it that way.
- Do you look at him
in his eyes though?
- Yes, ma'am.
- I look at a nigga in his soul.
- You give him that death stare.
- Well you give them the death
stare with a dance, goddang,
I'm scared of you.
- I gotta be all
in them, like yes,
- I be wanting a nigga
be driving home goddamn,
like this bitch,
that's the type of shit..
- Today, I'm gonna shoot
with my awesome photographer,
Gio Mondelli, he shoots
with all the celebrities,
high-fashion models in Atlanta.
I've been working with him
for at least five years
Lingling is going
to be my model.
And this is the new
beginning for Angel Kake.
What have you been doing lately?
- So I have been
gone a little while.
I've been constantly busy.
Running around, trying to get
things in order, you know,
really just been trying to
network with my modeling.
- That's nice.
- I got to see my son, you know,
got to spend time with
him for his birthday.
Can't believe he's eight.
They grow up so fast, right?
So I actually got to
fly to the West Coast
and see my son.
You know it wasn't forever,
but the little time I did
get to spend with my son,
it really refueled my
heart with a lotta love.
How old's your little boy now?
- Seven, so they would be
like perfect age to play.
- Perfect.
- What part of California?
- He's in the Bay Area.
- Oh right.
- I actually didn't know
that LingLing's son
lived in California.
Her hanging out with her son,
that has to bring like
tons of joy to her life.
My line is for all sizes,
and so most of my
models are high-fashion
and I thought she'd
be really perfect.
- I just wanna say thank you
for you know, letting
me be here with you,
'cause like, it
just to me was like,
she wants me?
- Yeah, you're gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- So Angel Kake is
happy to have you.
- Thank you!
- And so I brought tons
of styles for you today.
- I love the way this looks.
- That looks perfect on you.
Everything in my line,
actually it goes on
a high-fashion model,
it goes on a really curvy girl,
it can go on a plus-size model.
- Don't lean forward.
And just push your hips
out to the side more.
There we go.
- Yes, exactly.
- Keep your shoulders
toward the camera.
Good.
- Perfect.
- Okay.
- How about an expression
to open your mouth
just a little tiny bit?
Just use your eyes, okay?
- I think she did a great job.
It looked great,
her makeup was good.
We didn't do too
crazy on the hair
so it worked out really well.
- Give me a little smile,
just little, there we go.
Good.
That's good.
Good.
Alright, perfect.
- Can I take some of
the ones we just...
- Yeah, we'll take
a quick look here.
- I feel that the
photo shoot went great.
I think for me, I'm like,
shoot, something I love to do,
so I try to kill it.
- No Photoshop needed.
- Right right.
- I'm supposed to meet
with Angel Kake and Stormy
at the coffee shop.
And of course, Stormy is
running late, as usual,
but she checked in, she
says she's on her way,
so hopefully,
she'll be here soon.
- Hey Miss Dime.
- Hey. You're
with the fur coat.
- It feels like I haven't seen
you for some days, I guess--
- I know.
- What have you been doing?
- Um...
So look, y'all better
not fucking judge me.
'Cause you know,
I was telling my
friend the other day,
you know, I want an
open relationship,
I like open relationships,
people say they wanna spend
the rest of their life
with one person,
but of course, it's
gonna get boring.
So I just feel like
if I get married,
me and my husband, we can
spice up our relationship
by inviting women in.
To me, the more the merrier, so.
- So would you gonna
sleep with the girls too,
or how is that gonna work?
- Yeah.
- So you was gonna, y'all was
gonna do the girl together.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then, and then--
- It depends on how I'm feeling,
'cause it might be I
just wanna watch him.
- Okay.
But when you do
something with her,
like what are you
gonna do to her?
- What girls do
when they have sex?
- So you do this often?
Sheesh.
Dime wants to have an open
relationship with her mate.
My personal opinion,
I wouldn't do it,
but if it's, you
know, fun for her,
I think she should do it.
I can't, I could not
love another woman.
- But you'll have sex with one.
- You taking too long.
- Of course not, of course not.
- You know what,
I like you better
when you keep to one thousand.
Don't sugar coat with me.
I feel like Angel's confused
when she says she doesn't
believe in open relationships
and then she goes back and
say that all men cheat.
It's like, okay, if you know
your man is gonna cheat,
then why don't you lessen the
chances of him cheating on you
with you guys going out
and having fun together.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Don't stop.
- Okay, alright.
I like your hair.
- I like yo feet, girl.
- Oh, thank you.
- Hey, how's are you doing?
- Good.
- Awesome.
Why y'all didn't
get me no coffee?
- Girl, we--
- Y'all didn't think
I want no coffee?
- I'm trying to, this hair!
- You like it?
- Oh my god.
- It was honestly a mistake
but it's kinda cute, right?
Ya, I still got her
too, you know that?
You know it's like, you
gotta remind yourself
that you still got it, you know?
- What was your
dance name, girl?
- It was Stormy.
- Stormy.
- I kept my same name.
- Why you was late?
- So I got pulled over.
I apologize for being late.
Thank you, I really do.
- Well, I'm glad you
okay though, seriously.
- My goal was just to get
an update on their progress
and just make sure that
some of the things I share
with them that they
should be doing
that they were really doing it
and not just getting caught up.
So whatcha y'all been doing?
Whatcha been doing?
- I been just kinda getting
ready to relaunch my dresses.
- The boutique and stuff?
- Yeah.
- I thought you
did a photo shoot.
- We did. These
are the pictures.
- Okay good, so we
got some progress.
- Yeah. They are not edited.
- Oh let me see.
So you sell these though?
- Mm-hmm.
- This is cute
but you definitely giving
them boobs right here.
I'm like she selling the
dress with the boobs, girl.
What's for sale here?
Oh, she modeled for you.
- Uh huh.
- How cute. Y'all little friend.
- Don't. That's not nice.
- The pettiest...
- Oh that's cute.
I'm not, I'm just saying
y'all got a friend.
This is cute.
- Why she just
can't be our friend?
Why she gotta be little?
- She is little.
It's a compliment.
Why you always gotta think
I'm trying to be funny.
That's you trying to be funny.
- 'Cause you is.
- No, I'm not.
- 'Cause you is.
- She looks really cute.
- I feel like sometimes,
she wanna help us
from the bottom of her heart,
but a lot of it is
just to stroke her ego,
to feel like we
actually do need her
in order to be these
successful businesswomen.
And I went to your lady too.
- Who?
- The one who did the
wigs you referred me to?
- Yvonne?
- Yeah.
- What did she do?
- She just basically
told me, you know,
what she do, what she don't do,
how long she been doing wigs.
- But I have someone else I
want to introduce you too.
She lives in D.C.
- Okay.
- She's getting insurance
money for the wigs that you--
- Yeah, that's who I
thought she was, but okay.
- I'll do a call
with you and her.
- Okay.
- I think that Dime does
really want to be successful.
I think that Dime just
has so much going on,
I don't know if
it's gonna happen,
because I see her
being inconsistent
in her desire to get it done.
- When can we finish our
vision board party, 'cause--
- That's what I'm saying,
we could bring some wine
and some waters and some fruits
and we could all sit down
and complete our boards.
- I bring the wine.
- Y'all seem so nice
and like, I love y'all.
Not that I'm mommy but
I just wanna help y'all.
So if y'all don't mind,
we are gonna work on
being intentional.
Like you, you are
the Instagram queen.
Like every day is
something new from you.
Like start posting
more about the kids
and the wigs and stuff.
I think that would be good.
- Not, not on that page.
- See, that's what I
was about to say, yeah,
'cause my manager was like,
"Look we got to do
you a whole new--"
- Right, but you have a lot of
traffic on your current page
so you wanna
redirect those people
and then remember
the ones that--
- No.
- No, no, no, I'm telling you
from a marketing perspective,
you still wanna promote
on your existing page
because people like you
on your current page.
But you just
redirect from that--
- Well she can post like, do
a post, and then take it down.
- I love you so dearly but see,
this is where we gonna
have a conflict, ladies.
- I think that Stormy,
I admire her great work
and that she's not
a dancer anymore
but I do not, at
the end of the day,
if you're not
selling shit for her,
she doesn't really give a fuck.
So do you actually do
your own marketing?
- Listen, I do my own marketing.
I make a lot of money
from social media.
I'm telling you that
there are people
who currently live on your page
that need to be redirected.
- And they wanna support you.
- That's it and they wanna buy.
So we gonna redirect those
people to our new page.
And we're not gonna
argue about what's right.
- Okay, that was
just telling you--
- But I have to go, ladies,
I love y'all so much,
it's been so well.
It's been well seeing
you girls today.
And I will be looking forward
to seeing you girls on Sunday.
- Hello everyone.
- Hey hey hey.
Don't you look all pretty.
- Girl, please. That's you.
- You look cute!
You so pretty, I love your hair.
So pretty.
- Thank you.
You know, had to put
some curls in today.
- LingLing is here and
she has to know no idea
that I'm going to
give her the money
that I raised for her and
I figure what better time.
I am so happy you're here
because I have something
that I want to give you.
- Mm-kay.
- Well LingLing, I want
to give you something.
- Hold on, don't don't
don't give me nothing.
- And I really hope
with everything
that you receive this in the
same way I'm giving it to you
with like all of the love.
I know we had this
talk and you know,
with what you were going
through with your skin cancer,
and everything and nobody knew.
I know you didn't know,
so when you were asking me
did I want you to help me out,
all of that was for you, that's
why I didn't let you come.
I feel great when I'm
helping somebody out,
literally couldn't
even sleep last night,
like I was smiling
the whole way here.
I think I even broke down
and cried a couple times
in the car just
thinking about it,
because that's how warm
and fuzzy it makes me feel
to know that I'm
doing something good.
I'm giving somebody
a break, you know.
- Ja couldn't make it because
he had an event out of town,
but he did send
me a text message
and said that I have his
support, nevertheless, so.
- Just take it and
just know that--
- No, I can't take
no money from you.
- Girl, here take this.
Lilia picked this
bow too, by the way.
- It's so.
- I just want you
to know that just
from one mom to another,
one fighter to...
- When LeaLea surprised
LingLing with her fundraising,
I thought that was
very nice for her
to help her with her problem.
- Everybody be thinking of
themselves, but you not,
you not, and I meant
it when I told you
that I was gonna do my part
to help you so.
Open it, just read the card.
You don't have to
take out the money.
You don't have to just,
but I just want you
to read the words
and know that it came
straight from my heart.
- Did she lick it or did
you lick it?
- Girl, I licked it but
I didn't suck no dick
before I licked it, so.
- Even if you did.
- So go girl.
- If it's one thing
life has taught me is
that success is not final.
Failure is not fatal.
It is the courage to
continue that counts.
And you my dear, are as
courageous as they come.
Love you 'til life.
Thank you babe.
For her to say that everything
that she did for me,
that card and all the
love that was made with,
it shocked me.
- I just wanted to do
that for you before I left
because I wanted to see
that beautiful smile.
- Thank you.
- Aw, let me give some
hugs, that was so sweet.
- Thank you.
- God bless you.
- Thank you.
- But you got this.
- Got it.
- Girl, I was telling y'all.
- Damn!
- Not her.
None of this would be possible.
So I would like to thank my mom
for taking one for the team.
'Cause she left me--
- I think they might be like.
- Has a short nigga ever
tried to get up there?
- You know I don't do short men.
I don't like eye-level dudes,
like, I need to, I
have to look up to you.
- Short dudes got a complex.
- Why do short dudes
be having a big old...
When a man is short, but
he already has his own,
like you know, short people
problems, you know what I mean?
This, just, it's a fact.
- Today, I'm meeting
Doctor Norman.
This gentleman walks
out with this big ax.
I don't know what
she's getting me into,
I don't have any idea.
- Okay Laina, this activity
is for you to release anger.
I know you feel unworthy,
I know you feel that your
mom did not love you.
I need for you to release
all negative energy.
The man you love dearly,
he pimped you out.
- This is for my
mom abandoning me.
Drugs. My grandpa.
This for my dad passing away.
My struggle.
- Yes, excellent.
Good job, Laina. Good job.
- Throughout the years
of my life growing up,
I cried every night.
It's so much pain I endure
that I don't think I
can endure any more.
It's just like, in me.
I'm just used to it.
- Laina, repeat after me.
I am powerful.
- I am powerful.
- I am strong.
- I am strong.
- I am worthy.
- I am worthy.
- I am intelligent.
- I am intelligent.
- I am beautiful.
- I am beautiful.
- I am loved.
- I am loved.
- I need you to repeat
that on a daily basis.
- I really don't like
opening up to people
and she made me feel more
comfortable with talking to her
and letting her know my issues.
- We have a lot of built-up
anger inside of us.
As black women, you
are so beautiful.
The entertaining life,
that was a season for you.
It gave you money you needed,
probably some resources,
but that's not it and
that's not all for you.
I am here for you, 100%.
- Yes and I appreciate it.
- Okay. Alright. Okay.
- I believe that everything
starts with a vision.
Without vision,
people will perish.
And so I wanted to show these
girls that I got their backs.
So I invited all of the girls,
even LeaLea and LongLong,
whatever her name is, I
invited all the girls.
And LeaLea showed up
and LangLang got mad.
Shit, that's the girl's name?
Man, what's the
damn girl's name?
- I can't be myself.
I don't want to sit like
and feel like I'm sick.
I don't want to
sit there and feel
like I'm obligated
to smile in her face,
knowing what happened
the last time.
So I came to the
visual party and,
something about my gut
just didn't feel right
and I come in, and I
turn my butt around.
I realized where I was at.
Not for me.
- Hey girls
- Hi, come--
- Hey, how you doing?
Great to see you.
- Your house is beautiful.
How are you?
Hey beautiful, give me hug.
How are you?
I saved you for last,
Imma speak to you.
How you doing, man?
You okay? Alright.
Y'all excited?
- Yes.
- I can't tell.
- Yes we are.
- Why y'all seem so low?
- I decide against my
better judgment to stay
and try to be a bigger person
and just kinda see if
somehow this could go
in a positive way.
- What's her name again?
- LeaLea.
- Hi LeaLea.
- Hi.
- You look cute with
your purple bun, girl.
- Thank you, it's pink.
- It's a lot of colors,
it's not just pink,
it's like five colors, purple--
- Thank you.
I appreciate it, I
really appreciate it.
- Okay, you gonna
be present today
or you gonna be on your phone?
- Well obviously--
- It's up to you,
'cause today a new day.
So you gonna be present today,
we gonna get ready for 2018.
You know, the economics
that you working on,
manifest that all next year.
Or you gonna be on your
phone the whole time?
It's up to you, your choice.
- Well let's have a good time.
- Come here, come.
Let's let's, come here.
Listen.
Immediately like, the mood
changes, because the last time
Stormy and LeaLea was together,
it was not good at all.
I'm just hoping that
everything goes peacefully.
I need you to be the bigger
person in this situation
and just pull her to the
side and talk to her.
You have to remember
we're at your house,
she needs to feel comfortable.
You just do that.
- She wouldn't even look.
- Just pull--
- Okay okay okay.
- Breathe.
- You don't, you
don't need to do that.
She don't have to be
the bigger person.
For what? For what? Like, no.
- 'Cause we're
doing positivity--
- No, 'cause in order
for, I'm in your house,
and if you want this
to go successfully,
I feel like there should
have been something,
like other than,
like the nitpicking,
you were trying to
do from the start.
- It's like you wanna find
a reason not to talk to me.
Like, you really, like
confrontation, like for real.
I spoke to you last
because that's my goal.
My goal was to pull
you to the side.
- Imma go.
'Cause I was gonna try
to do this the right way.
But it's not gonna--
- Just stay and work it out.
- Today's a new day.
- So we not gonna do this.
If she wanna leave,
let her leave.
Like, come on, when
are you gonna do away
with your childish ways?
At least she coulda, she
won't even look at me.
Girl, we is adults.
I'm not doing that
We not doing that
energy again today.
You're in my home, you know me
and we don't deal
with each other.
And so instead of you
at least looking up,
you looking down at your phone.
Girl, I don't kiss ass.
And I don't do it anymore.
And I have no need
to do it with you.
- Take this off of me.
- I don't want to keep
going back and forth with,
what's her name again?
- LeaLea.
- With LeaLea.
It's come to a point in your
life where you gotta be mature.
Act like little kids--
- I'm the fucking mature
one, I'm in your house,
and instead of you
coming over there
and saying, "you
know what LeaLea,
I know this is the
first time we talked--"
- LeaLea, you didn't
give me a chance.
- You had all the opportunity--
- You didn't give me, no listen,
if you woulda let, another
30 minutes, or another
if you woulda let, another
30 minutes, or another hour,
if people don't
go by your rules,
then you wanna be
confrontational.
You didn't even
give me a chance.
Give me a chance, girl.
You really, seriously,
like for real,
you are a very pretty girl
but you have really have
some internal issues
that you should really work on.
Seriously. Seriously.
No, no, no, seriously.
I really want her--
- Remember I told you to
take a step back sometimes.
- Girl, I'm already
done breathe,
I'm on a whole another
planet right now.
I'm not even that right now.
You really have some
internal issues.
Time to release yourself from
whatever issues you have.
Yes, bye bye, please,
get up out of here.
You leaving?
I don't want to close the door.
You leaving?
You can stay, I'm not
even gonna argue with you.
Either way, go in or out
baby, it's your choice.
Where my sage?
- Please do not follow
me with that camera.
- I don't want that in my house.
- This is the last
time we talked.
Please do not follow
me with that camera.
- Let me sage out.
Can y'all just enjoy
what drink ya want,
let me get rid of
her energy for real.
No.
- Y'all want this
to really be cool
and y'all not really want that.
- How do you,
I'm in somebody's house
that I argue with.
There's been no conversation
midway, no nothing.
- Get her out.
For real.
I tell y'all until
she find Jesus,
She been in some holy
water or somebody's church.
Don't bring that
lady back over here.
- I didn't know where I
was coming 'til I got here.
So I got here
feeling blindsided.
- It was my understanding
that you were both
open to having this.
- No. No.
I said I was open
to her apologizing.
- Not gonna happen.
So I just don't think they
should talk to each other.
They need to stay the fuck
away from each other, honestly.
'Cause I just don't see
none of that shit happening.
- She wanted to do a
vision board party,
she passed an invite to you.
- Why would I just
show up to her house
for a vision board if I
never even had a conversation
after the fight?
- She was supposed to
pull you to the side.
Whatever happened, how it
happened, it didn't happen.
- Yeah, 'cause she
wants to be nasty.
- I think that LeaLea
could have stayed.
I mean come on, we're grown-ups.
Like I know how to ignore
somebody who I don't like.
You're gonna find the
same problem in life
You might not like your boss,
but you don't get to leave.
You gotta stay there.
You gotta put up with the
bullshit and just keep it going.
- Do not follow me
with that camera.
Imma go.
Stormy and I were
never friends anyway.
I didn't know her,
she doesn't know me.
There's nothing to me and
there's no pressure on me
to make things right because
I didn't make things wrong.
- The man you want girl,
you know you want that man.
- Today is my day.
- So you got it for real girl!
I could see it.
Come on girl, it's your turn.
- Today is the day.
- You gotta say today is my day.
- Today is the day
that I move the fuck on
because I'm single now.
- Oh my god.
I'm in and out a relationship.
I'm not in a relationship
and when I get in a relationship
that's a real,
fucking relationship,
then I'll treat that
relationship as if it's real.
Until then, I have to
keep my options open
and do what the fuck I wanna do.
- Today.
- Today is my day.
- Here's the goal.
I been doing vision boards
for the past ten years.
And literally like
my old board is old
and everything needs
to go in the garbage
because everything
that's on the board--
- Came to pass.
- Everything except I'm single.
- I understand.
- But everything from
like the Rolls Royce
that I wanted is on my board.
White, the same color,
the same inside,
from my house that I have now,
it looks similar to the
board I cut out from paper.
So when we do these boards,
like we have to take
it very seriously.
- Right now, I'm so focused
on growing my business
that I put my 100% into.
I am just grateful that this
show has given me a platform
to begin to open a career.
I'm gonna be done
with this lifestyle.
I can put it to an end so
that when this is done,
I have a stable environment
for me and my son.
I never was that girl who
dreamed about a wedding.
Like I don't really envision
this beautiful gown.
- You don't?
- Just being real,
Angel, that might be why
you haven't found nobody
who you're really interested in.
Whatever you think in your head,
to me, you can
possess in your hand.
That's how I think like,
You guys have seen me grow.
You guys have watched my love
life have some ups and downs.
But overall, I am happy
that I met
'cause he did invest in me
and get me out of the club.
So I'll always be
thankful for that,
so I won't have anything
negative to say about him ever,
but I got some good
advice, I met some people
that I will most definitely
have a connection with.
And I'm just really
excited about my future
and my business taking off
and just seeing what
God has in store for me
and La'Bri Cosmetics.
- The goal is to
fill this board up.
Today's vision becomes
tomorrow's reality.
Like even if you see a
car, you see a Bugatti
and it does something
to your spirit,
but you think I would never
be able to afford that,
yes, you can.
- At the end of the day
when it's all said and done,
I'm just happy I'm not
living a double life anymore.
You know, I'm ready to
hang up my dance shoes,
ready to go forward in
life with my nonprofits.
Me and my daughter,
we're in a good place.
I'm in a good place.
And I just hope everyone
can see the type
of person that I am.
I'm just a hustler just
like everybody else,
trying to survive by
any means necessary.
So hopefully, this will
be a great new beginning
to my success in all
my business ventures.
- What happened to all y'all
little friend, LingLing?
- Well, when I came
up, I saw her leaving.
I was trying to figure
out the same thing
but she didn't even speak to me
so y'all know I'm fucking here
because I don't speak
unless I'm spoken to.
- Why didn't she speak to you?
- I don't know.
I didn't really care to ask.
- I've had a lot
of ups and downs.
And I've kinda
been open about it.
I've shown that
it's okay to fall
as long as you try
and get back up.
I hope you see that
these little pieces
of my life can help you.
You have to stay strong-minded,
you have to stay willed.
You know, I would
never give up my son.
And watch me, I'm
gonna conquer it.
I'll be cancer-free.
- What is wrong
with these girls?
What happened to the other one?
- This was a very good
experience for me.
I learned a lot
from all the ladies.
I would like to have a sit down
and have counseling with my mom.
She still on drugs
but she's like not in
the streets right now.
She got her own place
and I wanted to help
maintain that with her.
- The one who just left,
what's the girl's
name who just left?
- LeaLea?
- LeaLea.
- In doing this show, I
learned when I had to deal
with someone like Stormy, it
is so easy for those people
to get you out of character.
I don't care how positive
you think you are.
In a matter of seconds,
for someone to bring that
negative energy in there
and literally, it
took me days to get
that negative energy out of me
because I just was
not used to it.
I was so taken back by it.
But to date, after wrapping up,
I ended up finding out
that I was about to have to
go through treatment again.
The doctors went in and
they found cancer again.
It took me a long
time to feel it.
And by the time I felt it, it
had so much infection there,
so they had to go in and
cut this hole in my stomach.
So now I have a little
hole in my stomach
but I'm not afraid because
I've been here before
and I've come way too
far to turn back now.
So it's so not
like I have cancer.
Cancer has me now.
And LeaLea is a much
bigger problem than cancer,
just ask my baby daddy.
- What most people do is
they start their boarding,
never finish it and wonder why
they can't complete nothing.
So it's like everything
that makes you feel good,
everything, like sometimes
people say you drink too big,
you, no no no, like
whatever it is.
So my ultimate goal,
genuinely, was to connect
with these women, inspire
them through my life,
through my journey.
So I hope that
Angel Kake is able
to create her clothing line
and I pray that of course,
Dime was able to pursue all
of these multiple businesses
that she desires to create.
I pray that La'Bri does very
well with her makeup line.
I feel as if I did my
very best to connect.
I opened the door.
I showed them my truth.
I was transparent. I was open.
And so I just hope that
this particular season
of their lives,
they learn something
that they can take
into the world
and change the lives of so
many other people as I have.
Okay, come on y'all, it's
time to go y'all, I'm ready.
- I'm telling you.
- You always kick us out!
- So who is this man?
- I just met someone.
I'm tired of being
single, I'm sorry.
- Who you met?
- I'm not gonna tell you
'cause I'm scared you--
No, you look cute.
You like money and
to be treated right.
But you know, for a long time,
I tell myself, like you
say, Angel, all men cheat,
so I tell myself, shit, I
dunno who the fuck imma marry,
or who imma be with,
but I just know my nigga
gonna take care of me.
Imma be put up.
And that was okay with me
but now I feel like I
could genuinely be in love
and actually be happy.
- You can. Girl, you
a beautiful girl.
- I always know I
was gonna put up.
- Well you should
move out of Atlanta.
- Why?
- Yes, and go somewhere
in the country, I agree.
- Just to look for
a nigga, for real?
- No!
- No!
- Do you feel like
there's gonna be backlash
for being a black man and
you hiring other black women
to do a show about strippers?
- The network is
owned by black men.
The studio is
owned by black men.
- Correct.
- The producer is a black woman,
and my show is about
all black women.
- It took Shante
super powers to...
- Yeah, it was Mark's
concept and then,
and Mark got it
to, with the help
of some of our other friends.
- Right.
- Got it to Rob Johnson.
- But you're the person
for it though, Shante.
- Aw.
- I mean you are, clearly.
- It takes a woman to
tell a woman's story.
- Right.
- I feel like if a man would
have tried to tell the story,
it would have come
off a lot different.
- Well, what are you
saying to the naysayers?
- The naysayers, if they have
any negative thing to say,
they really, really did
not really watch this show.
