Speaker A:This is turning Hustle into legacy with Dr. Stance.
Speaker A:But what I did notice on that one episode where you.
Speaker A:I felt like that was genuine.
Speaker A:Cause I know a lot of that stuff be.
Speaker A:But with that moment and you talking about where you was talking about your life, like you was going through real stuff.
Speaker A:I felt like it.
Speaker A:You was talking about being in foster care, how they don't know you like that.
Speaker A:Like, this is when you was fresh on the scene.
Speaker A:You was fresh, and you fought your way here.
Speaker A:I like that.
Speaker B:I went through a lot.
Speaker B:I went through a lot, you know, growing up.
Speaker B:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:So I wasn't really, like, in the foster.
Speaker B:Foster care, but I was under DCF for the rest.
Speaker B:For half of my life, actually, probably till I was 17, 16.
Speaker B:And I had.
Speaker B:I had.
Speaker B:I had.
Speaker B:I had a blessing.
Speaker B:My grandma was my blessing.
Speaker B:She took me same, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:I went through a lot of things.
Speaker B:Like, it could have got it bad, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:And without her stepping up to try to help me, I probably would have been a disaster right now.
Speaker B:Same.
Speaker B:It's so crazy.
Speaker B:Like, my grandma really was the person who really saved me through a lot.
Speaker B:My parents.
Speaker B:My parents were young, you know, like, you know how that is.
Speaker B:And I was.
Speaker B:I didn't really care.
Speaker B:Like, I just wanted to run the streets.
Speaker B:I felt like my daddy, My mama didn't love me, you know?
Speaker B:Like, I just felt abandoned in my own home, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:Because everybody, it's like, you're there, but you're really not there.

Speaker B:Same.
Speaker B:My mom was sick.
Speaker B:My mom has cancer.
Speaker B:My mom is an amazing person.
Speaker B:I don't take that from her.
Speaker B:But I feel like with my mom's upbringing, she hasn't really accepted the fact that the things she's gonna curse me out for, even talking about stuff like this.
Speaker B:She hates me mentioning her past.
Speaker B:And anything I say in interviews or to anybody, she hates it.
Speaker B:But realistically, hopefully, like, one day, she really gets it.
Speaker B:Like, you went through what you went through, but look at you now.
Speaker B:That's what you need to look at.
Speaker B:You're an amazing mom.
Speaker B:You're an amazing grandmother.

Speaker A:Really?
Speaker B:I'm gonna.
Speaker A:What's.

Speaker B:When you open up a business in Wyoming, you don't got to pay no taxes.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I'm thinking.
Speaker A:I'm thinking like some kids.
Speaker A:I knew that part.
Speaker B:You don't got to pay taxes.
Speaker B:You don't got to do none of that.
Speaker A:And even with a nonprofit, you know, you don't neither do.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:Yeah, but.
Speaker B:But because I have.
Speaker B:I want to do other things.
Speaker B:You got to incorporate all that into it, like, you know I'm saying.
Speaker B:So I want to buy a house.
Speaker B:That house.
Speaker B:I'm going to buy it, hold on to it, let it build equity for a couple of years.
Speaker B:With the equity on that home, I'm going to pull it out and I'm going to open up another business.
Speaker B:So that house, that my first house was never my house to live.
Speaker B:That house is so I could put my business, my smiley worlds, as my office and.
Speaker B:But my second one is going to be like another rental property, everything and keep on like that.
Speaker B:I want to pull equity into all my home.
Speaker B:I know you can have a home.
Speaker B:Sit on one, I think.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:I think each state different.
Speaker B:Every state is different.
Speaker A:So you got to look into that.
Speaker A:California, I think you could have two.
Speaker A:You know, I don't know if y' all know.
Speaker A:I think you could have two.
Speaker A:If I'm mistaken, everybody in here look.
Speaker B:Like they own a couple homes, especially him in the chair.
Speaker A:Well, you know, I do have one, but I know that with me, I never pulled the equity out, which is.
Speaker A:I don't know if that's.
Speaker A:That's probably good or bad, but.
Speaker B:How did you feel becoming a young mom.
Speaker A:Well, I was.
Speaker A:You know, me personally, I was still hoeing.
Speaker A:And when I met my baby's father, he's the one that got kind of.
Speaker A:He didn't get me out the streets.
Speaker A:Cause I was still in the streets when I met him.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:And then people say, well, was he.
Speaker A:No, I was still pimping into, you know, my own thing.
Speaker A:Didn't give him no money.
Speaker A:But he said one thing.
Speaker A:He said, there is a million and one hustles.
Speaker A:Why would you choose that one?
Speaker A:And that said and resonated with me so cold.
Speaker A:I was like, this man is right.
Speaker A:Why would I choose this one?
Speaker A:Because at once I met him, I was exhausted from hoeing.
Speaker A:I was tired.
Speaker A:I already robbed all the Negroes in the Bay.
Speaker A:I didn't robbed everybody that I can even put my hands next to and took all their houses.
Speaker A:And I didn't Took everything.
Speaker A:So I'm hot.
Speaker A:So that's when I start pimping girls.
Speaker A:And then I got hot with that.
Speaker A:And then after that, I got pregnant with my kid.
Speaker A:And I immediately, when I say immediately enrolled in school.
Speaker A:Because I come like you.
Speaker A:I liked you.
Speaker B:You went into school for nursing.

Speaker B:I know you were.
Speaker B:I changed my major and you want fair psychology.
Speaker A:And then I freaking started foster care.
Speaker A:And I did not know that that was gonna be the road to my life.
Speaker B:And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker A:I didn't know I was gonna be a foster care parent.
Speaker B:I hated her.
Speaker B:Shit, I hated it.
Speaker A:But let me know, I will say this.
Speaker A:Cause I got my license at 17 in Job Corps in my first job at nursing at 18.
Speaker A:I love the old people, though.
Speaker A:And I used to see how they used to people, the nurses would treat them so mean.
Speaker A:And I would get into it with the nurses all the time.
Speaker A:Because he's got this cute little white lady.
Speaker A:And you just how you mean to this lady.
Speaker A:They didn't understand the psychology of they yelling at him and stuff.
Speaker A:She 90 years old and they would still be mean.

Speaker B:She says, I'm not your mother.
Speaker B:I'm not going to say to abort it, but this is what comes with having a child.
Speaker B:She broke it down to me, broke Everything down.
Speaker B:Do you want to keep it or do you not?
Speaker B:I literally sat there for like five minutes trying to think.
Speaker B:Mm.
Speaker B:And I said, I want to keep my baby.
Speaker B:She said, are you sure?
Speaker B:I said, is this a right or wrong answer?
Speaker B:She said, there's not.
Speaker B:Just, what do you want?
Speaker B:Mm.
Speaker A:Best decision you ever made, huh?
Speaker B:I said, I want to keep my baby.
Speaker B:My baby.
Speaker B:I'm going to love him.
Speaker B:I'm going to show them how to love a baby for real.
Speaker B:I might not be the best mom then, but I know one day I'mma grow up to really understand everything in life.
Speaker B:But I'm young right now.
Speaker B:I'm scared as fuck.
Speaker B:Let me tell you something.
Speaker B:I freaked the fuck out the first time I felt him kick.
Speaker B:Oh, shit, Me too.
Speaker B:I said, me too.
Speaker B:I put it in my ribs.
Speaker B:I was so scared.
Speaker B:I was like.
Speaker B:I'm like, oh, my God.
Speaker B:I'm like, this is really happening.
Speaker B:And when I. I heard the heartbeat, it's surreal.
Speaker B:When I saw that, everything was so real.
Speaker B:It was the most beautiful feeling for me.
Speaker B:I was scared as fuck.
Speaker A:Me too.
Speaker B:Then it's like, the daddy.
Speaker B:The daddy was like, you know, his father was in the foster care system.
Speaker B:He got about four 14 siblings.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I don't want to touch that topic.
Speaker B:Cause then his family gonna reach out.
Speaker A:Absolutely.
Speaker B:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:But it was a lot.
Speaker A:It was a lot.
Speaker B:It was a lot.
Speaker B:So my baby father is so crazy because I met my baby father back in, like, elementary one time.
Speaker A:I like that.
Speaker B:We was in class, everything.
Speaker B:And then he ended up moving.
Speaker B:I don't know why he left the school.
Speaker B:I never saw him again.
Speaker B:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker B:Then I went to middle school and he was there and he was in the school.
Speaker B:Aw.
Speaker B:And right then I just knew, like, I really like this man.
Speaker B:He looked good.
Speaker B:He fine as hell.
Speaker B:He popular.
Speaker B:He a little older than me, but, you know, I think he failed.
Speaker B:So he was a little older and he.
Speaker B:I would never forget.
Speaker B:It was in a math class.
Speaker B:He wrote me my first letter.
Speaker B:He showed me how he did his origami letter box that I still do to this day.
Speaker A:Wait, you talking about that.
Speaker B:This thing?
Speaker B:No, he made a box.
Speaker B:Like a box letter.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:So it says push open, like, everything.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker B:Not this one.
Speaker A:What's that one cootie thing?
Speaker B:No, it's.
Speaker B:You give me a paper right now, I'll show you how to make the little box.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah, because I want to know.
Speaker B:Because I'm.
Speaker A:You know what I'M talking about, right?
Speaker B:We need a piece of paper.
Speaker A:I need to see it.
Speaker B:I'm going to show her how to make the.
Speaker A:For a paper.
Speaker B:He used to drop it right by my foot and.
Speaker B:Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker A:I know you're talking about.
Speaker A:I still want you to make it.
Speaker A:I know what you're talking about now.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:I'm thinking this the cootie one, but I know which one you're talking about.
Speaker A:I know what you're talking.
Speaker A:And it was the other airplane we used to make.
Speaker A:It was them three, but square box.
Speaker A:I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker B:And that.
Speaker B:And it was so crazy because I used to put my notes in my bag and my family got ahold of that.
Speaker B:Oh, my mama.
Speaker B:I'll never forget to the day.
Speaker B:My mama know I always talk about it.
Speaker B:She whooped my ass so bad when she read them letters and things he wanted to do to me.
Speaker B:That hanger Mark, I will never forget.
Speaker B:It was right here in the shower.
Speaker B:I tasted the shit out that plastic.
Speaker A:Let me say something.
Speaker A:Cause see, I think our parents don't be knowing we be a little bit advanced more than what they be knowing.
Speaker A:Cause when you get a relationship.
Speaker B:But I don't understand.
Speaker B:Cause they was young too, but they don't.
Speaker A:That's why.
Speaker A:So sometimes you gotta think they didn't want you to make the same mistake they did.
Speaker A:Maybe that's why your mom was so angry.
Speaker A:You get what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Let me ask you this.
Speaker A:Cause your son, 13, if he came home and said, mom, I got a girl pregnant, how would you feel?
Speaker B:I will feel like you made a mistake.
Speaker B:I'm disappointed and I really need you to think about what's about to happen.
Speaker A:But you would still support him?
Speaker B:Yes, I will be there.
Speaker A:We got to.
Speaker B:I'm gonna support him.
Speaker A:We got to give her the paper.
Speaker A:The new guest is here telling that.
Speaker A:I'm sure they don't mind.
Speaker A:They might wanna meet you.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Those are the two girls that I wanted to interview from their other podcasters from the bay.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:You're walking in between the camera.
Speaker A:We're still filming.
Speaker A:Yeah, we're still filming.
Speaker B:It's still live.
Speaker B:Yeah, so just tell them we can.
Speaker A:He could edit that part out.
Speaker B:But anyway, I don't care.
Speaker A:Me neither.
Speaker B:It's organic.
Speaker B:So with that being said, he used to write me my little notes and stuff like that.
Speaker B:And he always told me like, my family right now is not always my family.
Speaker A:Me.
Speaker B:So from that understanding me growing up, he was in foster care.
Speaker B:And he would never was in the same home.
Speaker A:So he was moving house to house.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Now you get it.
Speaker A:Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker B:And I never understood until I got older.
Speaker B:So from that, he ended up leaving the school again.
Speaker B:And we finally, years later, I'm probably like, 13 now.
Speaker B:13, 14.
Speaker B:We end up in the same opportunity.
Speaker B:School girl.
Speaker A:What's the odds?
Speaker B:What's the odds?
Speaker A:And that's from.
Speaker A:He was definitely from Miami, too.
Speaker B:It is.
Speaker A:And I'm glad that you said, though, too.
Speaker A:That's just for any young parents out here.
Speaker A:Like, we all make mistakes.
Speaker A:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:And, like, even with my daughter, she came home and I felt so proud and honored because she.
Speaker A:I feel like I did good as a parent because she was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:I'm keeping this for sure.
Speaker B:Those were my notes.
Speaker B:Those used to get dropped right by my foot.
Speaker A:I like it.
Speaker B:I miss him so much.
Speaker B:He was.
Speaker B:He used to sing like he had a voice.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:He used to sing.
Speaker B:And I'll never forget.
Speaker A:He stared at you.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:And it was just like.
Speaker B:He was really like my first boyfriend.
Speaker B:So my family, like, it got to a point, like, okay, I started running away to see him.
Speaker A:Now it makes sense.
Speaker B:I used to run away to go see him.
Speaker B:So now I was like, all right, we gonna pick him up and just bring him to the house.
Speaker A:Okay, That's a good thing.
Speaker A:That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker A:So your mom did support it?
Speaker A:My grandma.
Speaker A:Grandma.
Speaker B:Grandma used to give it.
Speaker B:My mama and my dad used to hate it.
Speaker A:See, I'm opposite.
Speaker A:My mom would be the cool one, but my granny didn't play.
Speaker A:But I appreciate it.
Speaker B:I remember supporting on him, and he used to sing a song.
Speaker B:You remember Lil Corey?
Speaker A:No, my.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker B:My first time.
Speaker A:My first.
Speaker A:I don't know that one.
Speaker A:What's the skip at?
Speaker A:What is it?
Speaker B:Play it.
Speaker A:Find it and play it.
Speaker B:And I love that song.
Speaker B:And he used to sing the one for Marcus Houston.
Speaker A:Which one?
Speaker B:Now?
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker A:Marcus's first time.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker B:In the house, in the couch, in your parents.
Speaker B:You remember?
Speaker B:Oh, God.
Speaker B:My very first son.
Speaker B:And that's so cute.
Speaker B:I miss him.
Speaker A:I bet.
Speaker A:When did he pass, if you don't mind me asking?
Speaker B:Like, my son was like, four.
Speaker B:Dang.
Speaker B:And it's like.
Speaker A:So he was 19.
Speaker B:I was young.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So it was like.
Speaker B:Now it's like, bug, how can I say?
Speaker B:I don't know what he would be saying right now.
Speaker A:He would be proud of you.
Speaker B:I know, but it's like, do you.
Speaker A:Think you'll be where you is now if he was here?
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker B:I would be stuck wherever he at.
Speaker B:I would have been held back because I love him so much.
Speaker A:Aw.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker B:He's like, damn.
Speaker B:Like, that's why sometimes we gotta cherish our people, man.

Speaker A:Yeah, I didn't know I would be one, but, yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker A:I thought I was gonna be a nurse, but I wanted to be a doctor.
Speaker B:I know you didn't.
Speaker B:You don't want to do that.
Speaker B:I know you don't want to say.
Speaker A:No, you right.
Speaker A:I did not want to.
Speaker A:I didn't want to write back, but.
Speaker A:Next one.
Speaker B:Let me see.
Speaker B:All right, My next question.
Speaker B:Yeah, you think?
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker A:My brain's pride.
Speaker A:Let me think.
Speaker A:Why you do that?
Speaker A:I got one.
Speaker B:You have a good one.
Speaker A:Okay, this is.
Speaker A:Well, this is a good one.
Speaker B:If you can bring back one deceased rapper or artist or person, who would it be and why?
Speaker A:Tupac.
Speaker A:All day in the busy one because he was fine as wine.
Speaker A:Gorgeous.
Speaker A:That's just so.
Speaker B:They're going to be, too.
Speaker B:Auntie, I can't protect you out here.
Speaker B:Fine.
Speaker B:You know that.
Speaker B:I'm playing.
Speaker A:Kelly, that man was just gorgeous to me.
Speaker A:And I know.
Speaker A:They say he messed with Faith.
Speaker A:They say I love Faith.
Speaker B:Would you let him keep his little ring in his nose?
Speaker A:We'll have to negotiate.
Speaker A:If he wears his on the right, I can wear mine on the left.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker B:Yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker A:That was a little extra, but it was.
Speaker A:He just.
Speaker A:It was the ugh in him.
Speaker A:It was the ugh.
Speaker A:You know, he was a.
Speaker B:Kill us.
Speaker A:I'm out.
Speaker A:He was just fine.
Speaker A:Who was yours?
Speaker B:Who would yours be for me?
Speaker B:Who I would bring back?
Speaker B:I Think I'll bring back.
Speaker B:I'll bring back Elvis.
Speaker A:Elvis.
Speaker B:I would bring back Elvis.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker B:Because when I was young, when it was a good times, Elvis would be playing on my screen like that.
Speaker B:It was.
Speaker B:It was just moments where my mom and my grandma, all of them, I had good times.
Speaker B:And Elvis used to be playing.
Speaker B:Yeah, I don't.
Speaker A:I think mine was like, Aretha Franklin.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker A:That was my time.
Speaker A:Aretha Franklin.
Speaker A:Okay, let me ask you one more real quick.
Speaker A:Let me see if you can have any superpower.
Speaker A:What would it be?
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:It would be healing.
Speaker A:That's not a superpower.
Speaker B:It is, because if I had the power to heal people from their pain.
Speaker A:Okay, I guess that is a superpower.
Speaker A:Mine would be to fly.
Speaker B:Oh, you want that type of superpower?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:That's just like fly, walk on water.
Speaker A:But healing is one too, though.
Speaker A:That's a good one.
Speaker A:I never even thought of that, actually.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Because if I can touch you right now, you're crying, you're sad.
Speaker B:You can heal me.
Speaker B:I can heal you and make you happy again.
Speaker A:I actually really like that somebody asked me that.
Speaker B:I'll make you smile.
Speaker A:I never.
Speaker A:My daughter, I think hers was to be invisible.
Speaker A:Ain't that something?
Speaker B:She gonna go rob the bank.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:See, that's a good one.
Speaker B:She's trying to get pregnant twice.
Speaker B:She's trying to get pregnant twice.
Speaker B:I don't know about that one.
Speaker A:Okay, what's your next one?
Speaker A:That helped me think.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Oh, I got one.
Speaker B:If you can make a song today with your favorite artist, who would it be?
Speaker B:And what would be the name of your song?
Speaker A:You gonna kill me, Nelly?
Speaker B:None.
Speaker A:Do it.
Speaker B:I won't.
Speaker B:Eh.
Speaker B:I go look again.
Speaker B:I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker A:I. I know it sounds crazy, and I know this is off subject, and I know everybody beats up Natalie, but, like, they be bashing me sometimes for talking about Natalie.
Speaker A:I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker A:To me, me being a CEO, me having multiple companies, me helping people in the community.
Speaker A:I commend her for that.
Speaker A:Who gives a damn about it being fighting?
Speaker A:Who cares?
Speaker A:She's still giving y' all opportunities.
Speaker B:I don't care what you say.
Speaker B:She's an amazing person, and she's an amazing mom.
Speaker A:It's entertainment.
Speaker A:And at the end of the day, the world is getting that misgiving conscrewed.
Speaker A:And that's why I actually just hugged.
Speaker B:Her the other day.
Speaker A:But I literally.
Speaker A:I really admire that girl because to me, she's giving people opportunities.
Speaker A:It don't matter.
Speaker A:She's giving it.
Speaker A:It don't matter.
Speaker A:We.
Speaker A:We.
Speaker A:Let's look outside of that.
Speaker A:She's still changing lives.
Speaker B:She need.
Speaker B:People need to look at her on TV and off tv.
Speaker B:And that's off tv.
Speaker B:She's a amazing mom, period.
Speaker B:She's a great human being, period.
Speaker B:I went through a tough time right now, not too long ago, and I could say that Natalie was.
Speaker B:Was actually one of the people.
Speaker B:See what I'm saying?
Speaker B:That was there for me.
Speaker A:That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker B:I feel like when I was so down right now, I owe her for the rest, like forever.
Speaker B:Because it's that one moment that I really needed somebody and she was there.
Speaker A:See, that's.
Speaker A:The world needs to hear that because, like, they bashing that girl right now.
Speaker A:And I love her to death.
Speaker A:I'm making mad.
Speaker B:Natalie has her personality.
Speaker B:Everybody, everybody got their personality.
Speaker B:I have my ways.
Speaker B:But when you really sit down and you really get to know this lady, this mother, she's not what you think.
Speaker B:People might think she's a piece of shit.
Speaker B:She's fake.
Speaker B:Cause she does.
Speaker B:And she does all that.
Speaker B:Nah, man, that lady really just.
Speaker B:That's just tv, man.
Speaker B:That lady really care.
Speaker A:I know she do.
Speaker A:I know she do.
Speaker B:And I love how she loves her.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:I love the way she loves her daughter.
Speaker A:Me too.
Speaker B:Like, that's what I friend somebody, and I love somebody more for how they treat their kid besides anything.
Speaker B:And she really goes beyond for her family, especially her daddy, Mr. Nunn, man.
Speaker B:She love her people, man.
Speaker B:And I respect her for that.
Speaker B:And I'm thankful for the platform that she's giving me.
Speaker B:I'm thankful for everything that all these doors she's done open, plugged me in with certain people, show me the love that she do.
Speaker B:Even though we had our issues back then, whatever I did, I felt like it was entertaining, Came it was whatever, but I knew I carried it on.
Speaker B:I. I did a little extra, which I was wrong and I take full accountability for.
Speaker B:But right now it was.
Speaker B:I'm thank.
Speaker B:I'm thankful.
Speaker B:Thank you.
Speaker B:Thank you, Natalie.
Speaker A:That's for her.
Speaker A:Like facts.
Speaker A:Yeah.
