00:00Previously on Bell Collective.
00:02I'm having a birthday party.
00:03I'm celebrating my thriving 45.
00:07What up, fam?
00:08Cedric lost his brother, and that death
00:10brought us back together.
00:14We're taking things slow.
00:16Happy birthday!
00:24I have rekindled things with my ex-husband.
00:28And I also have a friend I've been seeing for quite some time.
00:33Let's go, Mari.
00:34I like him.
00:35What in the poly is going on here?
00:38I went to a wedding venue.
00:40And before we go down this aisle,
00:42I always want to make sure we on the right track.
00:46I don't even know where the hell to start.
00:47I cannot go into this marriage without communication.
00:52Right.
00:53How do you feel about the reconnection
00:54of Latrice and Leticia?
00:55Oh, God.
00:56Douglas, in my deal.
00:58What?
00:59What?
01:01That's a girl.
01:02Amanda's my girl, and Tisha's my girl.
01:06So where do I go from here?
01:07Thank you, Nancy.
01:09I think you've raised his brother.
01:11We got a good problem.
01:14emphasise this year.
01:15This is business Мides.
01:17Let's go.
01:18Because I cierto you know,
01:19you enjoyed this idea of how you even have something to
01:22think about at all.
01:23Fair and square Johtuc,
01:24mamma,
01:24and Janet is stuck.
01:25You should feel that you've got this job.
01:27Youِve something to be.
01:28This is supposed to be the type of dominance.
01:30Anything is supposed to be the type of knowledge.
01:32This mindset Edwards is a bunch of food.
01:33Hey, how you doing, man?
02:02Welcome to Monty's.
02:03Hi, thank you.
02:05Table for two, please.
02:06Yes, ma'am.
02:07We have a table right over here for you.
02:08Oh, perfect.
02:14This is Letitia Pearson, your bail bondsman from yesterday.
02:17I just wanted to call to give you an update
02:19on your next court date.
02:22The people always want to know, what's going on
02:24at Letitia Pearson's Enterprise, OK?
02:27It's more than brunching.
02:28I am a paralegal.
02:30I'm a bail bondsman.
02:31I have a mentorship program.
02:33I'm literally a Jill of all trades.
02:37I can file your divorce for you, honey,
02:39and go over here and bond you out of jail.
02:42Stop playing with me.
02:43Living my best life 24-7.
02:46Yeah.
02:47All the pressures applied.
02:49You should feel threatened.
02:53OK, thank you.
02:54I'll talk to you soon.
02:55Bye.
02:56Hey, my girl.
02:57It's giving.
02:58It's giving.
02:59It's giving.
03:00Um, Whitley Gilbert.
03:01Yes.
03:02Jasmine.
03:03Oh, oh, my god.
03:04Yes, girl.
03:05I'm super excited to see my girl Carrie today and catch up,
03:08not just on the mess that happened at Marie's party,
03:11but to talk to her about an upcoming event called the Relunch
03:15Social that I want to collaborate with her on.
03:17Girl, can we?
03:18Can we what, girl?
03:19Can we what?
03:20Can we what?
03:21Can we what?
03:22Baby Jackson showed out last week when I saw you.
03:25So I want to ask you, so what did you think about the party?
03:27Like, what did you think?
03:30I had a great time.
03:31Mm-hmm.
03:32I mean, I thought it was Jackson.
03:36It wasn't giving coastal vibes.
03:38Well, oh, not the shade.
03:39Here you go.
03:40Not the shade.
03:42Now, Carrie, you my girl and all, but you
03:44know how to throw some shade when it comes to Jackson.
03:47If you want to be a part of this collective,
03:49you're going to have to tread lightly, OK?
03:51We don't play over here.
03:53I guess everybody was stressed out.
03:54There was some tension.
03:55Mm-hmm.
03:55There was some tension.
03:56I could feel it.
03:57I think it was, I don't think it was a lot of tension.
03:58I think it was confusion.
04:00How you doing, Whitley?
04:01Oh, you look amazing.
04:03Good to see you.
04:05Thank you for the invitation.
04:06Absolutely.
04:07Hello, Jess.
04:08I'm good.
04:09Because I was like, what is going on?
04:11Like, is this a love triangle?
04:13Like, OK, here's the thing.
04:16I invited Martin first, and I invited Cedric,
04:19but Cedric said he wasn't coming.
04:21So, Maureen, you mean to tell me they don't even
04:23know anything about each other?
04:25Well, Cedric is aware that I had a white friend guy.
04:30I do not know, honestly.
04:32Nilma.
04:322 plus 2 is definitely not giving 4,
04:34so I don't know what this is.
04:37Watching Maureen juggle this love life triangle thing
04:41with Cedric and Martin, I'm concerned,
04:43because you're putting your heart out there on the line,
04:46and I do not want you hurt.
04:48So you got to figure this out.
04:50Now, you know, I'm trying to get back to my purpose,
04:53which Brunchin' has always been a part of.
04:55So we're talking about a relaunch,
04:57and it's a social to introduce Women Brunch Mississippi
05:00is coming back.
05:00OK.
05:01Brunchin' is not going anywhere.
05:03Well.
05:03For me.
05:04You got to get some sponsors.
05:05Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
05:06That's your first step.
05:06And I've been doing this on my own.
05:08That's the thing.
05:09So is it going to be like a sit down,
05:11or it's just a chill, air body mingling, social type?
05:14Um, no, it's the socials.
05:15It's not a sit down brunch.
05:16It's not a brunch.
05:17OK.
05:18But we're going to have brunch food.
05:19I want to have an intimate party called the Relunch Social
05:24to announce the upcoming tour of Women Brunch Mississippi.
05:28And Kerri is a good partner to help me on the Relunch Social
05:32because she is a social butterfly,
05:34and she's good at hosting events.
05:36So hey, it works.
05:37She is perfect.
05:39I've been doing this on my own.
05:41Not anymore, honey.
05:42Good.
05:42I got you.
05:43As long as we got our mimosas, baby.
05:45Yes, mimosas queens.
05:47I got you.
06:05Good morning, Jessica.
06:07Good morning.
06:07How you doing?
06:08How about yourself?
06:09Good.
06:10I'll be with you all shortly to begin our meeting.
06:12OK.
06:14Good morning.
06:15So how you been?
06:16We really hadn't talked since the party.
06:19We have not.
06:20But first, real quick, I've updated and revised
06:24Hamilton Davis mental health, the opioid treatment
06:26clinic policy, as well as the mental health policy.
06:31OK.
06:32Business is great.
06:33Hamilton Davis is doing exceptionally well.
06:37Currently, we are renovating a 26-bed facility
06:40for some of our patients.
06:43Overall, Hamilton Davis is thriving.
06:47How's your health?
06:48I'm feeling OK.
06:49For the most part, I'm doing well.
06:50I'm doing well.
06:51I had a great report in Birmingham last week.
06:55So everything is moving right along.
06:58Good.
06:59God got you.
07:00God got me, so.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Currently, Essie is traveling to and from Alabama
07:06for her lung transplant.
07:08And in spite of what Essie's going through,
07:10she's pushing through.
07:13I want to have a conversation with you about a conversation
07:16I've had with you previously.
07:19OK.
07:20H.D. Hamilton Davis is doing phenomenal.
07:24Yes.
07:24And I am so proud of us, of how far we have come.
07:29Mm-hmm.
07:30We have planted the seeds, and we are reaping the harvest.
07:34With that being said, it'll be great for me to retire.
07:38You know, I've been an entrepreneur for 25 years.
07:41I've put in a lot of work into building the Hamilton Davis brand.
07:46And there's pretty much nothing else I can do when
07:49it comes to health care.
07:51I've put in the work, and I feel like it's
07:52time for me to retire.
07:55No, you cannot retire right now.
07:57Give me another year.
07:58You said that last year.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Give me another year.
08:01So we can't hire another executive director to do what I do.
08:05No.
08:06Nobody's going to do it like you do.
08:08So 12 more months.
08:0912 more months.
08:11And I say, OK, Ri, you can go.
08:12I'm sorry, so I can't do it.
08:14If you stop trying to juggle all these meetings,
08:16you will have time to do it.
08:21Yes.
08:22And see, with the mess, she never stops.
08:28Like, I'm living my life.
08:30The difference between me and others
08:32is I'm being upfront with what I'm doing.
08:36The party I thought would be a disaster
08:38when I saw Martin walking in.
08:41And if Martin had been a different person,
08:43or Sid had been a different person,
08:45it would have been some stuff thronged, some furniture moved.
08:49And then, Hesla, you out here dancing with both of them
08:53just lame.
08:53I was shoot twirling with both of them.
08:56I'm like, I'm going to get out.
08:58Look at that.
08:59I'm like, what is she going to go?
09:01I'm like, get out of that bitch.
09:06I'm like, oh my god.
09:09Even though the party was fun, I'm conflicted.
09:12Honestly, it's a lot for me to process,
09:15because, like, you know, I love Cedric.
09:18Mm-hmm.
09:18And, you know, I like Martin.
09:22People think that Martin is a fly-by-night,
09:24oh, I'm just doing something to pass time.
09:27But actually, I have grown to care about Martin.
09:30I do.
09:32That man had me on the back of that jet ski,
09:36ride me from one side of the ocean to the next.
09:39I would not have never did anything like that ever.
09:44Yeah.
09:45So, you know, he just.
09:46He just brought something different.
09:47He brought something different into my life
09:49and just showed me a different way of life,
09:51a different culture.
09:52And I like that.
09:54Mm-hmm.
09:54You know, I really enjoyed him.
09:56So I'm wrestling.
09:58I have not heard a word from Martin for two weeks
10:01since he been out of town.
10:02And now I'm at a crossroads as to, you know,
10:07how am I going to proceed with him in my life?
10:11I do love Cedric.
10:12I do.
10:14But then on the other hand, you know, I was having fun.
10:17You need to get your stuff together, baby,
10:19because you got too much going on.
10:22My heart is leading in a certain direction,
10:25but I need to have a conversation with Martin.
10:28I need clarity at this point.
10:31Now, I need to know who to root for.
10:33Both of them.
10:37Coming up on Bell Collective.
10:39Communication is key.
10:40Sometimes you be moving like you my boyfriend,
10:43not my fiance.
10:44The way you got me is the way you need to keep me.
10:48I have not heard from you.
10:49I have not seen your butt.
10:50Like, my friend seems like she a little distant.
10:53I've been in my pillows.
10:55I ain't going to lie.
11:00You know, I really like you.
11:03I'm so sorry.
11:18I'll be drippin' all the time.
11:19I be drippin' all the time.
11:19I be gettin' to the paper.
11:21You know I'm against mine.
11:22I be puttin' in that work.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Baby, I'ma make it work.
11:27Yeah.
11:31Ree, what you cookin' in there?
11:33It's a surprise.
11:34Ha-ha.
11:36Stay tuned.
11:37All right.
11:38You're going to love it.
11:40Mm-hmm.
11:41Mm-hmm.
11:43Say it.
11:43Yo.
11:45What do you think about my birthday party?
11:47It was lit.
11:47It was nice.
11:48It was nice.
11:49I'm glad you came.
11:51Oh, yeah.
11:52Had to.
11:54Look, I'm still torn between Cedric and Martin,
11:58but had a date night with Cedric,
12:00and one thing led to another, and here I am.
12:04Did you enjoy yourself at your birthday party?
12:07I did.
12:08I enjoyed myself.
12:10You know, I felt, at first, uncomfortable a little bit.
12:16Why were you uncomfortable?
12:18I had, you know, you were there.
12:20I had you there.
12:20And then my friend showed up.
12:24Well, I told him, you know, my name.
12:28I told him that we have a daughter to go.
12:30Marie and I have a 12-year-old daughter.
12:31Yes.
12:32And then I've been married before.
12:35Yes.
12:36We had two children, so yeah.
12:37OK.
12:38So that's 17 and 19.
12:39Oh, that's great.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Oh, OK.
12:43But it felt awkward, though.
12:44Here you are, dancing with this guy.
12:47And you're trying to dance with me, too.
12:51Come on.
12:53It's my birthday.
12:55It's my birthday.
12:56I felt like a sucker.
12:58I just felt unsettled.
13:01I was unsettled, too, because you know what?
13:02Think about this.
13:03Just like I said, I feel uncomfortable having you there,
13:06and having my friend there.
13:08And I don't ever want to be in that position ever again.
13:12The reason why I think that I'm right for Marie
13:15is because I got unconditional love in my heart.
13:19Why?
13:19Because we got so much of history together.
13:21We got a whole baby together.
13:23We done built our family around each other.
13:25You know, we're taking the one day at a time, Marie.
13:29But that moment made me feel like maybe this
13:35is not right now for us.
13:37I get it.
13:37I get it.
13:38But like, just bear with me.
13:42I'm working through it.
13:44Yeah?
13:45I'm here with you.
13:47Yeah, that's true.
13:48OK, I could have been over there with him in his bed.
13:50I'm here with you.
13:52Marie, in terms of that guy, your friend and everything,
13:58you know, what I do want you to know
14:00is that it'll mean the world to me for you just to be happy.
14:04Mm-hmm.
14:06I'm going to wait until you communicate with me
14:10that you are settled.
14:11All right.
14:12I like Martin.
14:14I really like him.
14:15He's a great person.
14:17But I love Cedric.
14:19It's complicated.
14:22I have had so much on my plate.
14:26I have been one busy mama.
14:27My daughter Sky has a baby on the way.
14:32Then also, I want to do the all-white event in honor of my son, Quincy Johnson.
14:39I'm trying to see if it's the right spot for my event.
14:41This is like my baby.
14:42Right.
14:43You know, this is memories of my son.
14:46The last thing I need to deal with is these communication problems I have with Mike.
14:50Because it has gotten worse.
14:52And right now, Mike is getting the solid treatment.
14:54So I guess you can say I'm having communication issues now.
14:55Look.
14:57Purple level on my jeans.
14:59But these one-on-ones.
15:01Rock them like I'm getting real design and got it out of the mud.
15:03I'm trying to see if it's the right spot for my event.
15:04I'm trying to see if it's the right spot for my event.
15:06This is like my baby.
15:07Right.
15:08You know, this is memories of my son.
15:09The last thing I need to deal with is these communication problems I have with Mike.
15:13Because it has gotten worse.
15:14And right now, Mike is getting the solid treatment.
15:17So I guess you can say I'm having communication issues now.
15:43What the hell wrong with you?
15:53When you was out of town, you didn't answer that phone.
15:57That's one thing.
16:00Communication is key with any type of relationship.
16:03Sometimes you don't act like you know it.
16:05You be moving like you my boyfriend, not my fiance.
16:08How?
16:09What move when?
16:10Oh, you talking about when I be going to do stuff?
16:12Yes, you're supposed to tell me that.
16:17I don't know what changed, but he used to tell me everything.
16:22And I think he's probably getting a little comfortable.
16:25And I'm like, baby, no, don't get comfortable.
16:28The way you got me is the way you need to keep me.
16:31It can be so easy, so simple.
16:34I mean, you can be so easy, too, if you be talking and don't walk off.
16:37Now, Michael, when I'm talking, you be walking off.
16:41So we really need to meet the Pearsons.
16:44They don't been through hell and back.
16:46So they're the right couple to talk to.
16:49Next week, Latisha is setting up an outing for Mike and I to help us with our communication
16:55problems.
16:56I feel like it's going to help.
16:57I mean, it can't do any worse.
17:00Coming up on Bell Collector.
17:05Well, wait a minute now.
17:06Since all y'all up in my business, let's play a game, true or false?
17:10Oh, we've been talking if you all experienced infidelity in your marriage.
17:14They all up in my business, wanting to know, you know, about Martin and Cedric.
17:20OK, I said, well, let's play a game.
17:21I want to know what's it.
17:22Let's take it.
17:30I want to take this underground like you never seen before.
17:34Stand you around, make you want more.
17:36Show you something that you never seen before.
17:39Never seen before.
17:40Never seen before.
17:41Oh, it is so pretty.
17:46How are you doing?
17:48Right.
17:50Oh, my God, it's so pretty.
17:51You guys are so excited.
17:52Yes, yes, yes.
17:55Today, we are at my relaunch social of Women Brunch Mississippi, the platform for female entrepreneurs
18:02to network.
18:03So my brunches are more than an expensive hobby.
18:06My brunches allow women to really come together and collaborate and be successful.
18:11And we're here to celebrate and to announce my statewide tour.
18:18Oh, I'm sorry.
18:19I get so passionate talking about my brunches.
18:36I know that little flip, that little hair flip.
18:38Hey.
18:39Hey.
18:40Girl, you got your ponytail to the side today.
18:42Girl, I love doing my little genie-in-a-bottle thing.
18:44Girlie.
18:56It's just one little hair.
18:58And then it happens to be gray.
18:59Do my neck back here.
19:00OK, I see you got found the bad.
19:02Oh, everybody got found the bad bra.
19:04Hello.
19:05Hey.
19:06How you doing?
19:07I am so excited to show up to support my girl Latisha for her relaunch.
19:11And I hope Latrice shows up because I just want to clear the air with her because I was
19:16supposed to be the bar manager at Taste.
19:19And unfortunately, something's happened.
19:23All right.
19:24Hey, everybody.
19:25Thank you all for coming this evening.
19:29Hey.
19:30Hey.
19:31Hey.
19:32I'm here at the relaunch social today to support my girl Latisha.
19:35But when it comes to Amanda and Glen DMing her, I'm still kind of conflicted.
19:41You know Glen's in my DM.
19:43What?
19:44Finding out about the DMs has definitely made me uneasy, especially when it comes to me and
19:49Latisha's friendship.
19:50And quite frankly, I'm not exactly excited to see Selena either.
19:54We still have unresolved issues.
19:56She ghosted me on becoming a bar manager at Taste.
20:00This lady right here has been a trailblazer in the business community.
20:06We're happy to work and partner with her on expanding the brunch series.
20:10I'm going to turn it over to you, Latisha, to tell us about your vision.
20:14First, I just want to say thank you all so much for coming.
20:17Women Brunch Mississippi is a platform for female entrepreneurs throughout the state
20:21of Mississippi where we provide economic development and also we promote entrepreneurship.
20:28So it's not just about brunching and looking cute in your Louboutins, but it's actually
20:32about making a change.
20:33It is important for me to give back to Mississippi with my brunches because my dream started here
20:39in Mississippi, connecting women around the state who can actually come together and collaborate
20:45and build legacy.
20:46I want to inspire every girl that's in a community, a rural community around the state of Mississippi.
20:52I definitely want you guys to be empowered.
20:55And my goal is to create a platform for over 3,000 women in the state of Mississippi before
21:01the end of this year.
21:02So thank you all for coming and let's work the room.
21:09It's very refreshing to feel and see the collective operating as a collective right now.
21:16Women are collaborating.
21:18The brunch is a hub for entrepreneurs to get together, women, and really, really say,
21:23girl, you got that.
21:24You got that.
21:25You want to do that?

22:11Baby, it's me.
22:12It's me.
22:13I have nothing bad to say about Kira, honey.
22:16Kira is very dramatic, very talkative, but I absolutely love her.
22:22Anything extra to me is always welcome.
22:25Listen, I heard about the event last week.

23:10Yeah, cornbread, y'all.
23:12I was literally just talking about you.
23:16What's going on?
23:17I missed your birthday, so I wanted to know, like, what happened?
23:20Who missed you?
23:21I know.
23:22I know you don't have to tell me that.
23:23Look, Marie, they keep talking about BBL, honey.
23:25It's BBM.
23:26It was bad bitch Marie that night, honey.
23:29It's your birthday.
23:30She busy.
23:37Look, ladies, I'm a single woman.
23:39Okay, you single, because I was confused.
23:41But wait a minute now.
23:42Since all y'all up in my business, let's play a game.
23:45True or false?
23:46True or false?
23:47How many of y'all experienced infidelity in your marriage?
23:51You know, the BBLs, they all up in my business,
23:54wanting to know, you know, about Martin and Cedric and Marie,
23:57this and you this and you that.
23:59Okay, I said, well, let's play a game.
24:00True or false?
24:01Have any of y'all ever experienced infidelity in your relationship
24:04or your marriage?
24:05I want to know what's T.
24:07I want to know what's T.
24:09Coming up on BELL Collective.
24:11When I walked through the door, I didn't hear you.
24:13But a little bug got dropped in my ear.
24:14You were trying to shake the hell out of me.
24:16Let me make a little joke.
24:17Yes, it's giving everything that it's supposed to give.
24:20This not.
24:21It gotta go.
24:22Well, I am working.
24:23Bye-bye.
24:24Bye, mama.
24:33How many of y'all experienced infidelity in your marriages?
24:37Since y'all were all up in my teeth.
24:39We can't help but be in your teeth,
24:40because the teeth was right there, baby.
24:42It was some hot teeth.
24:43Marie, are you serious?
24:45All of your relationships have had infidelity,
24:47so why try to bring up another woman's situation?
24:52The question was true or false?
24:58Oh, I said false.
25:00We born.
25:01And where the hell did this come from?
25:02It all is.
25:03I just want to know.
25:04I want to dibble and dabble in y'all business.
25:06I'm a single lady.
25:07OK, that is something that I have a question with,
25:10because I have been so confused.
25:12The last time we all hung out as couples,
25:15Martin was your boyfriend.
25:17Yes.
25:18What happened when Martin became the friend
25:21and Cedric became my man?
25:23When did that happen?
25:25So let me explain.
25:26Cedric is my ex-husband.
25:29You know, death brought us back together.
25:31Unfortunately, he came back into the picture
25:34while I was, I guess, trying to figure out things
25:37between me and Martin.
25:38And I'm just trying to navigate.
25:42In my book, you know, everybody got somebody.
25:45And you deserve somebody.
25:47I'm working on my love life.
25:48I never portrayed to have my personal life in order.
25:51Even though I am a brilliant-ass business woman,
25:55I'm human.
25:56Let's have a conversation, y'all.
25:58Let's mingle some more.
26:00I got a fit.
26:02Me too.
26:03Friend, we got a fit.
26:04God damn.
26:05You hurt so bad.
26:06Oh, my God.
26:11What's going on, friend?
26:12Nothing.
26:13That's what I'm trying to see.
26:14What's going on?
26:15I have not heard from you.
26:16I have not seen your butt.
26:18Like, Selena was supposed to be the bar manager.
26:20It tastes.
26:21Hey, man.
26:22Listen, this is Selena.
26:23This is our bar manager.
26:27And when I had the grand opening,
26:29Selena was not there to help me at all.
26:32I actually want to have a conversation with Selena
26:34because I just felt like she left me after driving.
26:37So it's just all sorts of things that's
26:40going through my head right now.
26:42I know I'm supposed to be working at Tay's,
26:43but then I had my car accident.
26:45I wasn't able to work.
26:46So I had to recover and all that.
26:48And I'm just like, my friend seemed like she a little distance.
26:51I was in my feelings a little bit about you not working
26:53at the restaurant because I felt like it was an excuse.
26:56And yeah, I felt I did feel some type of way.
26:59I wish we would have had a conversation early on.
27:01Like, honestly, I should have called you and been like,
27:03hey, Selena, you know, I feel some type of way about you not working at Tay's,
27:06and you not being vocal and letting me know you just not showing up or whatever.
27:10Okay, because my feelings was...
27:12I've been in my feelings. I ain't gonna lie.
27:14You know, after the accident, I lost my dog.
27:17And my dog that died, that was my son's dog.
27:20I'm like, that dog was there when my son was murdered.
27:23So I just felt like I lost another part of my son.
27:27It's like a hit after hit after hit after hit.
27:30I apologize for not letting you know.
27:34Okay, so we good?
27:35Because I miss you too.
27:37I miss you, Brian.
27:39I'm very appreciative that Latrice and I got the opportunity
27:43to connect because I do value our friendship.
27:46We've been friends for over a decade.
27:48So I don't want her to think that I abandoned her.
27:54Let me talk to you.
27:56Come on.
27:57So big.
27:58So how's everything going with you?
28:00Girl, it's good.
28:01I've been doing all this back and forth to Jackson.
28:03I'm thinking about how I can expand my presence up here.
28:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:08When I walked through the door, I didn't hear you with a little bug.
28:11I dropped in my ear.
28:12You were trying to shake the hell out of me when I walked in here.
28:14Talking about I look like I came from space.
28:16No.
28:17It's a futuristic outfit.
28:18Yeah.
28:19It's silver.
28:20You're looking good.
28:21You were on a whole spaceship navigating.
28:23Look, you got on your space outfit now.
28:26I'm saying you were going on a journey.
28:28And I said you had your spaceship ready.
28:30But I mean, like, that's how I talk.
28:31Like, I love to make jokes and puns.
28:33Okay.
28:34But I mean, girl, look in the mirror.
28:35You look fabulous.
28:36Well, let me back in the mirror.
28:37You look fabulous.
28:38Look at this.
28:39You're beautiful.
28:40But this drop stream pun is here.
28:41It got to go.
28:42But like, I'm telling you, you a bad girl.
28:43This grandma-ish?
28:44No.
28:45No, no, no.
28:46This is timeless classic.
28:47What do you mean?
28:48You got to be hazed in, girl.
28:49You can't just come in here and be throwing shade everywhere
28:51like you an OG, baby.
28:52You got to take baby steps.
28:54You need to kind of take some steps back.
28:56Yes, it's giving everything that it's supposed to give.
28:59This not.
29:00That's giving from my old school, old fashioned.
29:02It got to go.
29:03It's giving Sunday morning worship.
29:05It got to go.
29:06Bye-bye.
29:07Bye, mama.
29:08Paging Dr. Marie, please come back to Earth, honey,
29:11because you are clearly in a whole nother universe than us.
29:14Because you another Martian hairstyle.
29:16It was time for y'all to fly away.
29:18Well, Ceisha, this was amazing.
29:19Congratulations on everything that you're doing.
29:24Y'all have amazing things going on, all of us here.
29:26You're right, Leticia.
29:27I would like to invite the Bells to something.
29:29What's happening?
29:30I'm doing an all white affair in memories of my son.
29:33I want to build like a safe space for people who is dealing
29:36with grief.
29:37They don't have anybody to turn to.
29:39I love that.
29:40So, yes.
29:41I want to invite all of the ladies to my all white event
29:45in memories of my son, Quincy Johnson, in a week.
29:49Because losing a child is the worst feeling in the world.
29:53And it's something you would never get over.
29:56But I have to start somewhere.
29:58OK.
29:59So, Carrie, you have a restaurant in Biloxi?
30:02Gulfport.
30:03In Alabama?
30:04In Mobile.
30:05Carrie's really that girl on the coast.
30:06You are that girl.
30:08And that's my point.
30:09That's why you got her.
30:10Carrie, tell me you can dress how you want to, baby.
30:13OK.
30:15I don't want to look the same as everybody.
30:18We made it through.
30:20Leticia's relaunched social without any drama.
30:25We survived.
30:26I am proud of the collective.
30:28I think we have arrived.
30:30Coming up, One Bell Collective.
30:31When you ghost me, I feel like you ghost me.
30:32You stop communicating with me.
30:33So.
30:34So something happened in the meantime.
30:35With your heart.
30:36Oh!
30:37I'm about to lose my mind!
30:51It's somebody to text me one more time.
30:54Oh lord, were I right in my mind!
30:57In the meantime, there was something painful when you ghost me
30:59Somebody text me one more time, and oh, Lord, I won't mind crying.
31:04Ain't nobody try to dim my eyes.
31:06Get a big man, and I hate you so bad.
31:09Get a big man, now I got a lot of money talking big man.
31:13When I fill up on your picture with my, hey, hey.
31:17Get a big man, and I hate you so bad.
31:21Hola.
31:22Hola.
31:23Hey, mommy.
31:24All my little children are away.
31:25Who is that?
31:26Who is that, EJ?
31:27I'm stopping by to visit my girls today, especially Skye.
31:31She has a baby on the way.
31:32And while I'm here, I might as well talk to them about the issues
31:36Mike and I are having.
31:38Keep playing.
31:39Keep playing?
31:39Keep playing.
31:40How did the doctor's office go?
31:42Let me see one.
31:43We still haven't started dilating.
31:45You in your nine months, but how many weeks are you?
31:4738 weeks.
31:48So we need to be going running.
31:50That's what they mean.
31:50I told her.
31:51We can go sprint.
31:52Run.
31:52Bounce.
31:53Bounce.
31:53Because you didn't see it.
31:54We can do some.
31:55Bounce.
31:55Bounce.
31:56Bounce.
31:56We got some more boys added to the family.
31:59It's just a lot of girls.
32:00It's a lot of girls throughout the whole family.
32:04Boy, you all gonna take a nap.
32:06Come on, baby.
32:07Seeing my daughters have children,
32:09it was actually something I prayed for.
32:11I do have health issues.
32:13And I'm just so grateful that I'm here to experience this, Mike.
32:18Who doesn't want to see their children start their own family?
32:22But let me update y'all.
32:23Me and Mike, we had a conversation.
32:24Ew.
32:26Ew.
32:28But yeah, but so we were just talking about the problems
32:32before I walked down the aisle.
32:33OK.
32:34When it comes to Mike, what frustrates me the most
32:37is his communication skills.
32:40He don't buy him another, what, box truck?
32:43I got an 18-wheeler to get back on the road.
32:45OK.
32:46I found out, but he told me after the fact.
32:49OK.
32:49Just like the boat.
32:51I'm in my feelings still a little bit, even though.
32:53We get it, because it's just like,
32:54you ain't go and get no TV.
32:56Yes.
32:57You ain't gonna get a whole vehicle.
32:58And it's not a regular vehicle.
33:00It's an 18-wheeler.
33:02A big vehicle, OK?
33:05I grew up in a home.
33:07My grandmother was always talking.
33:09We always had communication.
33:12So with Michael, he would say a couple of words
33:15and expect me to understand.
33:18No, honey, I need you to talk to me.
33:21I'm trying to walk down the aisle.
33:22I'm trying to be his wife.
33:24When me and Mike met, you know, this was during the time
33:29when I lost your brother.
33:31And so in the back of my head, sometimes when
33:34we have disagreements, I be thinking, did I make a mistake?
33:39I mean, I love this man.
33:41I can't see myself with nobody else.
33:43But then I'm like, you feel like y'all started too fast?
33:46I don't think we started too fast.
33:48It's just I was in a very vulnerable state of mind.
33:52And he just did all the right things.
33:55He said all the right things.
33:56Everything was perfect.
33:57In 2020, my son was murdered.
34:01And that took a toll on me.
34:03And I'm still not over it.
34:04And that's why I want us to start communicating more.
34:07It's not just him.
34:09Sometimes I get in my feelings.
34:10And I don't want to talk.
34:12And I should.
34:13But I don't want to feel like I'm bothering him.
34:16When Quincy passed, like, I mean, you was grieving.
34:20But we were also grieving.
34:22And so, like, when it came to being there for you,
34:25it just gave you a different type of comfort
34:27where we couldn't.
34:28Yeah, we like Mike.
34:30He helps out a lot.
34:31He doesn't have to.
34:32And then when it comes to y'all, too,
34:34I just feel like y'all really match each other's, like, energy.
34:37I know y'all love him to death.
34:38I love Mike, too.
34:40We just got some issues we got to work out.
34:42We love Mike, but it's not over your happiness.
34:45So we just want y'all both to do what's best for both of y'all.
34:49I mean, it would be wrong of you to get married,
34:52and then y'all going into the marriage having problems.
34:54I just want to make sure when I get married this time,
34:57it's for the long haul.
34:58They'll do us part.
34:59That's what I want.
35:01After talking to my daughters,
35:03I don't really think I'm getting anywhere
35:05because they love Michael to pieces.
35:08But to me, I don't want to go into a marriage
35:11with all these problems.
35:12We have to get over this hump.
35:14If not, there's not going to be a wedding.
35:41There you go.
35:42All right.
35:43Can I get you started with something to drink?
35:44Water with lemon.
35:45OK.
35:46I'll be right back.
35:48I have not really seen or talked to Martin.
35:51And after talking to Cedric and Essie about Martin,
35:55I need to know what's going on with him.
36:05Hey, Marie.
36:06Hi, Martin.
36:07How are you?
36:08Good.
36:09How are you?
36:09How are you?
36:10You're looking good.
36:11Well, thank you.
36:12How are you?
36:13Yeah.
36:13Good.
36:17How are you doing?
36:19I'm well.
36:19What about you?
36:20Yeah.
36:21I'm tired, but happy.
36:23Yeah.
36:24Yeah.
36:25Yeah.
36:25You want an old-fashioned?
36:27Uh, oh, not today.
36:28Not today?
36:29No, I think a Diet Coke is what I need today.
36:34What you need today.
36:35Yeah.
36:36I'm glad you can come to my party.
36:38So how was it being at the party with my ex?
36:42Um, oh, I just enjoyed myself.
36:46Well, I'm glad you had a great time.
36:47Oh, yeah.
36:48Yeah.
36:48That was good.
36:49Yeah.
36:49That was good.
36:50There you go, sir.
36:51I'm glad you had a Pepsi.
36:52What are we doing in Germany?
36:53Oh.
36:54Post.
36:55Post.
36:56Post.
36:58Yeah, so, um, Germany, did you enjoy yourself?
37:02Yeah, yeah.
37:03I went with the kids to the mountains for skiing.
37:05I love to see that, because my dad has always been in my life, so I can't even imagine having
37:12somebody in my life who don't, you know, show up for their children.
37:16Yes.
37:18One of the main reasons why I fell for Martin is his love for his children, and that is
37:25what won me over with him.
37:27I love a family mania.
37:29After you came back from Germany, when I picked you up from the airport, we hung out that day,
37:35that next day, and then after that, I didn't hear from you for, like, three weeks.
37:40I didn't know if you had gone back, or if you were still here, or what happened.
37:50When I came back, it was like, I was working a lot.
37:53Okay, if I can just be honest, I just felt like the place we were in, we were hanging
37:57out, we were having a great time, in communication, so it went from that to nothing.
38:04I just felt kind of abandoned, or maybe, I don't know, maybe disrespected.
38:12So, it did hurt my feelings, you know?
38:14Oh.
38:15I'm sorry, that was really not my intention.
38:17That's okay, but I just wanted to let you know that.
38:18Yeah, like, I don't want to...
38:22When you ghost me, I feel like you ghost me, and you stop communicating with me, it was
38:28like my daughter's father, he just somehow just started coming back around, checking
38:38on me, you know, just being nice, and just pretty much just, like, being there, so...
38:45So, something happened in the meantime.
38:48Which means something happened?
38:50With your heart.
38:51Well...
38:53I just feel like I can't see you anymore.
38:58Ah, Marie, I didn't expect this.
39:02I know, I know, I know.
39:06It's emotional for me because, you know, I really like you.
39:14But then, you know, I have my daughter's father, you know, like, you know, I care about
39:23him.
39:24I have love for him.
39:25I love him.
39:26I do believe in being transparent and honest and true to myself, for one, and I don't want
39:35to...
39:36I won't lie to you, so...
39:40I'm...
39:41I'm...
39:42I say, I understand your situation.
39:44I knew that the breakup would be tough on me.
39:48I'm so sorry.
39:51But Martin seems to be handling it better than I anticipated.
39:55Not everyone is an emotional type of person, you know, and that's okay.
39:59So, he's handling it well.
40:01I am so sorry.
40:03I am sad to end things with Martin.
40:08Martin, but I do want the best for him, and I can now focus 100% on Cedric and moving
40:18forward.
40:19So, who's paying?
40:21I would...
40:22I would do.
40:23I would do.
40:24Okay.
40:25Yeah.
40:26All right.
40:27See ya.
40:28What's...
40:29What's...
40:34Next, on Bell Collective.
40:36It's now going on five years since my son's life was taken.
40:41I lost my second brother.
40:43It was like I never woke up from that nightmare.
40:46Uh...
40:47I talked to him that night.
40:51So, when you leave, it upsets me when I don't know where you're at.
40:55In the traditional southern marriage, people are used to the little wife who dotes.
41:00I'm not that doting.
41:01I know you got a lot on your plate, but I think I expect just a little bit more effort.
41:05But it's like, it's only so much time in a day.
41:07I am throwing a pool party.
41:09Oh!
