00:00The fingers and the toes, now I suppose you hope the little black boy grows.
00:0418 years younger than my mama, but I really got beaten, split the girl up, trauma.
00:09Great afternoon, everybody.
00:11We are getting ready to kick off another panel here at the so-called Market Stage at 1 o'clock on the dot.
00:19Be here.
00:20Don't miss it.
00:22Again, we're talking black family and business.
00:25Again, right here, 1 o'clock.
00:27You've got time to make your way.
00:30Here it is.
00:31After 10 years without no spouse, mama's getting married in the house.
00:35Listen, positive over negative for the woman to master.
00:38Mother queen's rise in the chapter.
00:40Deja vu, tell you what I'm going to do when they reminisce over you.
00:44My God.
00:44My God.
00:48It's so lovely.
00:52Yeah, it's so lovely.
00:55That's how we like to do it in the 90s.
01:00Even though it feels smooth.
01:01Coming at y'all.
01:02When I take back, I recall a man off the family tree.
01:05My right hand, Papa Doc, I see.
01:07Took me from a boy to a man, so I always had a father.
01:10When my biological didn't bother.
01:11Taking care of this.
01:13So who am I to bicker?
01:14Not a bad ticker, but I'm clocking Pop's liver.
01:16But you can never say that as life is through.
01:18Five kids at 21 believe he got a right to.
01:21Here we go while I check the scene.
01:23With a Portuguese lover at the age of 14.
01:25The same age, front page, no fuss.
01:27But I bet you all you know they live longer than us.
01:30Never been seen now, that's where you're wrong.
01:32But give the man a taste and he's gone.
01:34Not North sleep to a jazz tune.
01:36I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room.
01:39I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him.
01:41For this man to cuss, hear it all in verbatim.
01:43Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over.
01:46I said, Pop, maybe when you're older.
01:48We laughed all night about the hookers at the party.
01:50My old man standing yelling, good God almighty.
01:52Use your condom, take sips of the boo.
01:54We're the reminisce over you, for real.
01:57For real, baby.
01:59Like that.
02:01We for real.
02:03Coming at you.
02:06In 92.
02:09Rock and sell school.
02:12Yeah.
02:13Come on.
02:14I reminisce so you never forget this.
02:17The days are way back.
02:18So many bear witness the fitness.
02:19Take the first letter out of each word in this joint.
02:22Listen close as I prove my point.
02:24T to the R of O.
02:25Why?
02:25How did you and I meet in front of big blues fighting in the street?
02:28But only you saw what took many time to see.
02:31I dedicate this to you for believing in me.
02:33Rain or shine, yes, in any weather.
02:35My grandma and Pam holds the family together.
02:37My uncle Doc's the greatest, better get the latest.
02:40If we're talking about a car, Uncle Sterling got the latest.
02:42I strive to be alive because I got no choice.
02:44And run my own business, lightest, lightest, lightest, lightest, lightest.
02:47I'm sitting here looking at Keisha like, do you love me?
03:10Do you love me not?
03:12Damn, you hit the spot.
03:14Taste like candy.
03:15Sweet like fruit, ooh.
03:16Wet like water.
03:17Can I love on you?
03:19Withdrawals.
03:19I'm feeling different.
03:20Every day I need a dose.
03:21Every now and then I'm missing.
03:23I got my times when I go ghost.
03:24But she mine.
03:25I'm stampin' her.
03:27Priority status.
03:27So them other b**** mad at her.
03:29Too mad at her.
03:30Thumbin' through a hundred thousand.
03:31I spent their times too on you.
03:32Call myself, couldn't you lose?
03:33Then I pop back up like Peek-A-Boo.
03:35Here I go, flyer than most, Louis V. Coke.
03:38Gas station, coffee cup, full on, drive-o.
03:40Money came about happiness, but she found love inside of G.
03:43That's something to eat, that's all a thug need.
03:46No lie, you get me higher than the prices of my weed.
03:48I'm displayin' my feelings like I'm wearin' them on my sleeve.
03:51One minute I'm done with you, the next one I be runnin' back.
03:54Go your way, I go my way, but somehow we be still attached.
03:57Tryin' to find my answers with this cup, but ain't no truth in that.
03:59They be like, I'm done for f***ing with you.
04:01I spent stupid racks, I'm sittin' here knowin' I don't need you pourin' O's in the lid.
04:05Sippin' chasin' with my reeve, can't get my mind on Wacashia.
04:08Watch me put my heart in this cup, and my feelings, she my therapist.
04:11I'ma talk to this cup, I smile.
04:13Ring around the road, Z, cup full of OZs.

07:52Happy Sunday, Essence
07:54It is time for us to kick off our 1 o'clock panel
07:57We are talking about family
07:59So coming to the stage
08:01I want to invite two CEOs
08:04One from Cosmology
08:06And one from Young Kings Hair Care
08:08Come on up, ladies
08:11And we also want to invite to the stage
08:21One of our CEO's sister, Latasha
08:25All right, folks
08:35Let's again, let's give them a big round of applause
08:37Coming to this stage this afternoon
08:40So before we get started
08:42Just tell me, how are y'all feeling?
08:44How are y'all feeling with Essence Fest this year?
08:46How are you feeling?
08:47So good, so good
08:48It's always a good time
08:50So we're just glad to be here in the streets
08:52She said, I'm glad to be outside
08:54Anybody else glad to be outside?
08:56Yes
08:57Yes, we are glad to be
08:58And what about you, young lady?
09:00It's a good time
09:01Look, it's the last day
09:02It's been a fun, packed weekend
09:04And it's been a good look
09:06Good experience
09:07Awesome, awesome
09:08So in that same vein
09:10She said it's been a good time with family, right?
09:12That's what Essence is all about
09:14Black family, right?
09:15We are family
09:17Hey, hey, hey, hey
09:19I got all my sisters with me
09:21That's what this is about, right?
09:24And even this afternoon
09:25That's what the panel is about
09:26We are talking about
09:28Being a black business owner
09:31And also incorporating your family
09:33Somebody say, ooh
09:35Yes, this is going to be good
09:37This is going to be good
09:38So start off just by telling us
09:40Who you are
09:41And a little bit about your business
09:42Awesome, you want to go first?
09:43Yes, so again, I'm Cora Miller
09:45Co-founder and CEO of Young King Hair Care
09:48We are a
09:49Yes, so we are a multicultural grooming company
09:53For young men
09:54I started this company because of my son, Cade
09:57And for me, it was all about representation
10:00In the beauty industry
10:02In the textured hair care space
10:04I was looking for products for him
10:06To help me style his hair
10:07And I recognized that there wasn't anything available
10:11Specifically for young men of color
10:13And I just believe that representation is so important
10:16And that you should be able to see yourself
10:18In the products that you use
10:20And so for me, I'm a forever do-gooder
10:22I'm always like, we gonna shake it up
10:26And so that's why I decided to start Young King
10:28I love it
10:30Thank you so very much
10:31And what about you, Cosmology?
10:34Yes, so we are Cosmology
10:36A sister-owned brand
10:37Thank you, thank you
10:38And family-owned brand
10:40So we started Cosmology
10:41To really reinvent the wash day experience
10:43We were tired of long detangling
10:46Unnecessary breakage while detangling your hair
10:48So we designed hair tools that feature teeth
10:50That mimic your fingers
10:51So they're completely round and smooth
10:53They're not gonna snag and pop your hair
10:55And we're sold in Target
10:56We're also launching on Walmart.com
10:58We're on HSN
10:59And it's been a fantastic ride
11:01I love it
11:03Did you hear it?
11:04Find her dot, dot, dot
11:06Amen for that
11:06It's Sunday
11:07Did y'all go to church with Reverend Jamal Bryant?
11:11Some of y'all didn't
11:12Even if you didn't
11:12We're gonna give you a little sermon here
11:13You know there's a great verse
11:16That says where there is no vision
11:17The people
11:18The people perish
11:20So talk to us about your vision
11:23For your company
11:24And your vision
11:25Not only just for your company
11:27But bringing family with that
11:29What were your thought processes
11:31On starting it
11:32And then incorporating family as well?
11:35Yeah for me
11:36Because I started this company
11:38For my son
11:40He is my why
11:41And he drives everything
11:43That we do at Young King Hair Care
11:44And in doing that
11:46It only felt natural
11:47To bring my husband
11:48Alongside this journey with me
11:50So he's not here right now
11:52But he is our CMO for Young King
11:56And utilizing his expertise
11:59His background
12:00His experience
12:01Coupled with my experience
12:03And skill set
12:04We just felt like we were a powerhouse
12:06That we could really drive this business forward
12:08And so for us
12:10It was just important to build this together
12:12And build it with our son at the core
12:15And so that literally drives everything
12:17Oh you are here
12:18Hey
12:18That's him
12:19He made it
12:21He made it
12:22He made it
12:22So that's what drives everything that we do
12:25I love it
12:26So any other black moms of sons out there
12:29She just said something that was very important
12:31Because even with me right
12:32I'm
12:33I've not joined the natural hair
12:36I struggle okay
12:38It's okay
12:38I'm just
12:39I'm doing work for you too
12:40I struggle
12:40My son right
12:43He has this interesting hair
12:45Like it's an interesting shade of brown
12:47Almost reddish
12:48It's hard to look moisturized right
12:50And I don't think we always think about that
12:52We always are talking about girls and women
12:54But our young guys and our young kings
12:57Do need amazing haircuts
12:59I want him to look great too right
13:00He walking out with me
13:01I want him to look great
13:02So thank you so very much for that
13:04What about you
13:05Vision and family
13:06Vision and family
13:08So family legacy is a huge part of who we are
13:11It's been in our blood since our great grandparents
13:14And having that blueprint of what it looks like
13:17To be a family owned business
13:18Is what we grew up with
13:19So it made sense for us
13:21Especially being in hair
13:22And having three different textures of hair
13:25Between the three of us
13:26It just allowed us to really kind of innovate
13:28Ideate within ourselves
13:30Early early in the business
13:31So it made it really easy
13:32I love it
13:34Okay
13:34This is real talk
13:35Okay
13:36That was the name of it
13:37Real talk
13:37Yeah
13:37Real talk
13:39We ready
13:40Are we ready
13:41Do I have permission to lean in
13:43Okay
13:44Here we go
13:45So
13:46There is a saying sometimes
13:49That we say in our community
13:49We're going to keep this in the family
13:51Right
13:51And that actually has a negative connotation
13:54At times
13:54Right
13:54But in keeping it in the family
13:57Have there been some trials
13:59Have there been some struggles
14:01What have been those things
14:03And then more importantly
14:04How have you navigated through those things successfully
14:07Yeah
14:08I mean
14:08Let's be very clear
14:10Anything that touches entrepreneurship on this journey
14:12Is always going to be a struggle
14:13Like let's be very clear
14:15But
14:15I think with family
14:17It's just this delicate balance of respecting one another
14:21And making sure that their opinions are heard and received
14:25Right
14:26And communication is a big piece of that
14:28I think you know
14:30With any team
14:31Communication is always very important
14:34But especially when it's your blood
14:37It's your husband
14:39And just making sure that you are very intentional about what you say
14:44And very thoughtful
14:46Even if you disagree
14:48Really trying to understand one another
14:51And making sure at the end of the day
14:53It's dead
14:54And that we're not bringing that with us
14:57And how we conduct our personal lives
15:00So I love that
15:01So one of the things that
15:02Y'all
15:02I don't know if you
15:03Y'all I love Oprah
15:04I love Oprah
15:06Were y'all in the session with Oprah?
15:08Gave me life
15:10Do you hear me?
15:11So one of the things that she talked about
15:12Over and over
15:14Was the importance of intention
15:15Like even before we begin with action
15:18And thought like
15:19No
15:19The intention behind it
15:21So I think that's important
15:22And even on the stage yesterday
15:24With our millionaires
15:25That was one of the things that
15:26You know
15:27One of the entrepreneurs noted
15:28As a CEO
15:29Like intention
15:30I want to be intentional
15:31About you know
15:32Putting out a good product
15:34Right
15:34So even intentionality
15:36And communication
15:36Clarity is king
15:38Right
15:39Clear is kind
15:40Yes
15:40Say that
15:41Clear is kind
15:42It's so very important
15:43That we have that
15:43So what about you guys
15:45What it's been
15:45And I want to hear from her
15:47I want to hear from you
15:48Sister
15:49Sister
15:50Sister
15:50Right
15:50No I think what Cora was saying
15:52Hit it spot on
15:53I think for us
15:54It was important
15:55For us to get that communication down
15:57And for any disagreements
15:58To kind of be left there
16:00Because we can
16:01You can take stuff
16:02You can harbor it
16:03You can hold those grudges
16:04And it'll affect
16:05Not only our relationship
16:06But the business as well
16:07And so we had to move past that
16:09And understand that
16:10We're working for something bigger
16:11Right
16:12So you have to keep your eye
16:13On the prize
16:13And be like look
16:14We disagree
16:15But we can move on
16:16Right
16:16And we still gonna make this money
16:18And get this done
16:19Exactly
16:20And I want to add really quick
16:21I think too
16:22Having clear roles
16:23And like how we operate
16:25So for instance
16:26Latrice who has the camera
16:27In the audience
16:28She actually does
16:29Like she did our fulfillment
16:31And all of our like
16:32Customer support
16:33Tasha really kind of like
16:34Owned like influencers
16:36And marketing
16:36And then I did production stuff
16:38So we all kind of
16:39Had our lanes
16:40Which made it easy
16:41To kind of like
16:42Be in this together
16:43Yes
16:43I love it
16:44Because that was one of the questions
16:45I was gonna go into
16:46But you guys have kind of
16:47Touched on that
16:48Blurred lines
16:49What happens when you
16:51Blurred lines
16:51And I'm still
16:52I'm still gonna go there
16:53Because this is real talk
16:54Right
16:54We're trying to help people today
16:55What does that look like
16:58Has that
16:58Have you had that happen
16:59Where you have these
17:00Blurred lines
17:00Where work bleeds into home
17:03And home
17:03We bleeds into work
17:04And then we just
17:05We working all day
17:06From 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.
17:09Yep
17:09Yep
17:10And there is not this time
17:11For actual family
17:12Like we're only doing business
17:13Talk about that
17:14Blurred lines
17:16How do we make sure
17:17That we create boundaries
17:18Right
17:19So that we are not living
17:20In a blurred line space
17:21Yeah
17:22I mean
17:23That is a thing
17:24And we
17:25It's something we're still
17:26Working at
17:27To be completely honest
17:28Yep
17:28Because it's just so easy
17:29To fall into talking
17:30About the business
17:31Like we can be watching TV
17:32Oh y'all
17:33You remember to do that
17:34Email that person
17:34So it's so easy to do that
17:36But one of the things
17:37That we've been more
17:38Intentional about now
17:39Is
17:40After we pick up our kids
17:42From school
17:43And daycare
17:43And all the things
17:44It's like we cut everything off
17:45And so then that's
17:47Our intentional family time
17:48Well we're not talking
17:50About business
17:50That we're with our kids
17:52We're having dinner
17:53Doing bedtime
17:53And then after that
17:54It's you know
17:55Back to business
17:55But at least
17:57We can say
17:58This is our dedicated time
17:59That we're cutting
18:00All things off
18:01And then one thing
18:02That Rich Dennis
18:03Said yesterday
18:04That I thought was really God
18:05About this whole idea
18:06Of like work-life balance
18:08And that not really
18:08Being a thing
18:09It's more just like harmony
18:11Like how do you find
18:12The harmony between
18:14Work and life
18:15And seeing how those things
18:17Intersect and not
18:18And being okay with that
18:19As long as you find
18:20The harmony
18:21In the situation of it
18:23I love that
18:23Put that in your palm pilot
18:25Find the harmony
18:26I like that
18:27It's gonna go in mine
18:28Find the harmony
18:29Yeah
18:29What about with you?
18:31So I would say
18:32So for me
18:35I have two boys
18:36I have an eight month old
18:37And a six year old
18:38So my blur
18:39My lines are really blurred
18:41Because I'll be nursing
18:43And then on the zoom
18:44And the camera's off
18:45It's a lot that happens
18:46In my day
18:47So it's harder for me right now
18:48To really have clear boundaries
18:49But I have to be open
18:51To the experience right
18:52And I can't put up
18:53Resistance to it
18:54I can't be very rigid
18:55Because it's not gonna be
18:57That easy to have
18:58Those clear lines
18:59So I think right now
18:59It's all about that harmony
19:01And finding the flow of it
19:02And being okay with it
19:04And knowing that
19:05If I didn't finish it today
19:06I could do it tomorrow
19:07And then I have a team
19:08To delegate things to as well
19:10So just being okay
19:12With where things are
19:14And giving yourself grace
19:15Yes
19:15I love that
19:16So yesterday we talked about
19:17On the panel
19:18So I'm an educator
19:19At heart
19:20Like that's what I am
19:21I'm a teacher
19:21Right
19:22So we talked about
19:23Even yesterday
19:24That word came up yesterday
19:25That to be a successful
19:27Business owner
19:28You need some God
19:30You need some grit
19:32And you need some grace
19:34So we talked about that yesterday
19:36So thank you for
19:37It's a word
19:37Listen I told you
19:38Y'all didn't go to church
19:39You were gonna get it anyway
19:40Today I told you that
19:42So along the lines
19:44Of education right
19:45I believe that education
19:47And exposure
19:47It's the game changer
19:49For our generations
19:50That are coming
19:51It's the game changer
19:52For our community right
19:54So along those lines
19:56What are your thoughts on
19:58Because you got an
19:58Eight month old
20:00You have eight
20:01Tell me how old your baby is
20:03Eighteen months
20:04And six and a half
20:05Oh y'all got babies babies
20:06Y'all say oh
20:07I got a ten year old
20:10Going on 85 right
20:11But even with that
20:13Like what are your thoughts
20:14On bringing them in early
20:16Exposing them early
20:18To the business
20:19Exposing them early
20:21To the possibilities
20:22What does that sound like
20:23And look like for you guys
20:24Because business
20:25Is at your core
20:27But so is family
20:27So what's your thoughts
20:29And encouragement
20:30To those entrepreneurs
20:31Who have family
20:32Who you know what
20:33They need this education
20:35They need this exposure
20:36Yeah I firmly believe
20:38In exposing our children
20:40To everything that we do right
20:42I didn't necessarily
20:43Have that exposure growing up
20:45So I didn't know
20:45Even what entrepreneurship was
20:47What it looked like
20:48And what it could be
20:49And so for my children
20:51And especially my son
20:52Who literally this company
20:53Was created for
20:54Oh you about to be a part
20:56Of all of this
20:56That means he was
20:58Packing boxes
20:58At four years old
21:00He was up in the warehouse
21:02When we were sending out stuff
21:04I mean even now
21:05The other day
21:06My team asked him
21:07Could he come shoot
21:08Shoot some content
21:09He didn't want to
21:09But he powered through
21:10To make it work
21:11So he's definitely
21:13A big part of this business
21:14And I want him to
21:16Understand and recognize
21:17That it's his
21:18That we're doing this for him
21:20And that he can so choose
21:22To carry on this legacy
21:23If he wants to
21:25But he understands it
21:26Because he's seen it
21:27And has been a part of it
21:28Yeah
21:29I love it
21:30Speaking of content y'all
21:31So I put out videos
21:33In the morning
21:33To encourage people
21:34To inspire them right
21:35And so my baby
21:37Who was 10
21:38Like he gives me feedback
21:39He can shoot it for me
21:41Like he
21:42So
21:42Children
21:44Are so impressionable
21:46And we
21:48You know
21:48We at church right
21:49Oh be careful
21:50Little eyes
21:51What you see
21:51Oh be careful
21:53Little ears
21:54What you hear
21:54We need to make sure
21:55That we're feeding them
21:56All of these amazing things
21:58That we're learning
21:58So that they're starting
21:59Young
22:00Stronger
22:01Wiser
22:02And better
22:03And so
22:04This is our last question
22:05This has been amazing
22:07Right
22:08Thinking along the lines
22:10Of family right
22:11In the media right now
22:13We know that black families
22:15Can have a negative
22:17Like there is negative light
22:18On the black family
22:19There is also
22:21So much negativity
22:22Around being black
22:24A black owner
22:25Black entrepreneur
22:26But we know
22:28That those things
22:29Are not the reality
22:31Of what always is happening
22:32Right
22:32Wait a minute
22:34Do a 360 check
22:35Real quick
22:35Look at all of this
22:36Beautiful black excellence
22:38Right here
22:39Right
22:39So along those same lines
22:42Let's talk about
22:43Legacy
22:44Let's talk about
22:47Legacy for your families
22:49Legacies for your businesses
22:51What is that
22:52And then what's your
22:53Encouragement still
22:54Last words
22:55To these folks
22:56Who want to
22:56Lean into
22:58Blending family and business
23:00Love that
23:01You want to start
23:01Sure
23:02So as my sister
23:04Mentioned earlier
23:05Entrepreneurship
23:06Has been a big thing
23:07In our family
23:08Our great grandfather
23:09Was a pioneer
23:10Of where we came up
23:12In Coconut Grove
23:12In Miami
23:13He was big into real estate
23:15So we've always
23:16Held that
23:17And been really proud of that
23:18And always wanted
23:19To carry that forward
23:20So by us going into business
23:22Together
23:22That's a part of us
23:24Kind of carrying
23:24His legacy forward
23:25And then starting
23:26To build our own
23:27And creating something
23:28Where you can see
23:28That one
23:29You talk to people
23:30And they're always like
23:31Don't go into business
23:31With your family
23:32Don't do it
23:33Don't do it
23:34And so a part of what
23:35I want to leave
23:36Is our legacy
23:37Is you can do it
23:38It can be successful
23:39And you can create
23:40Generational wealth
23:41With your siblings
23:43And your family
23:44Absolutely
23:44Say that one more time
23:45And loud for the people
23:46In the back
23:47You can do what
23:48You can do business
23:49With your family
23:50And you can create what
23:52Generational
23:53Okay generational wealth
23:54You heard it right here
23:55On this stage
23:56Thank you
23:57I would say
23:58To echo on top of
23:59What Tasha was just saying
24:00For me having little boys
24:02I also see how this
24:04Is influencing them
24:05Because just like Cora said
24:06Like Takari was born
24:08The same year
24:09That we incorporated
24:10Cosmology
24:10So he was there
24:11From the beginning
24:12He saw when we were
24:13Packing our pallets
24:14Shipping to HSN
24:15And having all the things
24:17And doing hair demos
24:18And using his hair
24:19For demos
24:20So he's been there
24:21Through the whole thing
24:22And now Amari
24:23Who just came into the world
24:25He's now seeing
24:25This evolution
24:27Of the brand
24:27And the business
24:28And so Takari
24:29Already has in his mind
24:31Like he wants to be a mogul
24:32He wants the brand
24:33He wants merch
24:34And he wants to show up
24:35In a very big way
24:37And I love that
24:38What we've done
24:39Gives him other opportunities
24:40And ways to think about
24:41How to move forward in life
24:43He doesn't just have to
24:44Go to college
24:44And get a job
24:45Yes of course
24:46We want him to go to college
24:47But I'm just saying
24:47There's other opportunities
24:48You don't have to go work
24:50For someone else
24:51Get a corporate job
24:52You can go into something
24:54That you're passionate about
24:55And make money doing it
24:56So I'm super happy
24:57That he was here
24:58To see everything
24:59And I just love that
25:00For us now
25:01We're able to show this
25:03To our children
25:04Unlike your family
25:06Which is so dope
25:06I love your family's history
25:08I never saw that
25:09I come from a single mom
25:11Me either
25:12My husband comes from a single mom
25:13Yes
25:13And so we never
25:15Were exposed to those
25:16Types of opportunities
25:17So for us to come together
25:19And actually build something
25:20From the ground up
25:22Literally with our hands
25:24Child
25:24Build it from the ground up
25:26Bring our son
25:27Our daughter
25:28Into this mix
25:29So they can see
25:30They can actually touch it
25:32And know what it looks like
25:33For us that's just everything
25:34That we're able to create
25:36This legacy
25:37That now can live on
25:38For their generation
25:40And generations to come
25:41I love it
25:42So again
25:43Exposure
25:44Education is so very important
25:45The more we allow
25:47Our young kings
25:48And queens
25:49To see the possibilities
25:50We are setting them up
25:52For so much
25:53More higher levels
25:55Of success
25:55So how do we find you
25:57How do we follow you
