00:01Oh, my goodness, look at that girl.
00:04I created K-Skin for everyone under the sun
00:07to have SPF that works for them.
00:10Yay!
00:12I'm doing an event with Vitear during Fashion Week
00:16for Judith Lieber.
00:17And for my brand, Dioclepo, this is a big moment.
00:21Oh, my gosh, hi!
00:22So this is one of mine.
00:24Taylor Swift has this one.
00:26I think the event turned out great.
00:30How are you feeling?
00:32The next week, I go to a convention in North Carolina.
00:35This is a really important one.
00:36My husband, Tara, passed away two years ago.
00:39My heart breaks for her because I know she hasn't grieved.
00:43Ladies and gentlemen, Lauren Reitinger!
00:48Being back out helped me put my superhero cape back on.
00:53I'll get you fired.
01:01I'll get you fired.
01:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06Feels so good now.
01:09Breaking the mold and working out every door.
01:11You're not every door.
01:13Hold on.
01:14Where's the party?
01:15Hi!
01:16It's here.
01:17Welcome to Miami.
01:18Welcome to Miami.
01:18It's here.
01:18Welcome to Miami.
01:20Welcome to Miami.
01:20Miami.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Hi, honey.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:26You look gorgeous.
01:27You look gorgeous.
01:27I miss you so much.
01:27You look great.
01:29When you look dear.
01:30When you're making these, you look gorgeous.
01:33How are you?
01:33How are you?
01:33Wow.
01:34How are you?
01:35You look fantastic.
01:37She always does.
01:38You guys are so sweet.
01:40I miss you so much.
01:42I miss you so much.
01:42You don't get so recently.
01:44I know.
01:44I miss you.
01:45I met Taliyah when we were all living in Greenwich.
01:50Taliyah has been a really great friend to me for many, many years.
01:54And she's bubbly, smiley.
01:56She is a Latin superstar.
02:00Did I ever tell you the story that I remember when we went to Mexico?
02:03It was like Michael Jackson stuff.
02:06Like, people were breaking down the barriers.
02:09Like, Taliyah, Taliyah, Taliyah.
02:11And you're like, oh, my God.
02:13What's it like to be considered the queen of Latin pop?
02:16I don't know.
02:18Titles.
02:19I'm a singer, a songwriter, an actress, an entrepreneur.
02:25I have a fashion line, the Taliyah Sadi brand.
02:29And I'm in love with it.
02:30It's a dream come true.
02:32If you've sold over 25 million records, we'll have won it.
02:3450-something.
02:35Ooh.
02:37I don't like to think about that.
02:39I just don't like to review the past, although in social media,
02:43they post things, and they tag me, and I see myself in things.
02:46Like, when I did that?
02:48Stop it!
02:49Can somebody raise that?
02:51Are you going to Mexico?
02:52We were trying to go together soon.
02:54I'm going to go to Mexico, because we've been working for, like,
02:58a year and a half with the companies in there to launch the,
03:02you know, the latest shoe collection with Price Shoes.
03:05That is the company where I have this new collection, blah, blah, blah.
03:07When was the last time you were there?
03:09Years.
03:10Wow.
03:10Years.
03:11The Latin market is very important.
03:14And so we're going to go in this promotional trip,
03:16and we're going to touch base with my brands in beauty, makeup,
03:23fashion, creating new ways to connect with my audience,
03:27and I'm meeting my partners face to face.
03:30It's so important that my brand keeps growing in every single way.
03:35So many friends of mine are in a new world of evolving into something even bigger,
03:41not resting on your laurels, and doing big things.
03:45Mm-hmm.
03:45Yeah, you just always move forward.
03:47That's important.
03:47This whole next chapter is so important.
03:49I'm so excited.
03:50You're going to have a really great next chapter.
03:54It's chapter?
03:57Chapters.
03:58Yes.
03:58We are having.
03:59We are having.
04:00Yes.
04:01The best chapters, right?
04:02Yes, totally.
04:08Hi.
04:14Hello.
04:16I'm a little wet.
04:17I'm ready.
04:18Welcome to sunny Florida.
04:20Oh, my God.
04:21Look at this weather.
04:22Welcome.
04:23You haven't been here before.
04:24Ever.
04:24Have you even been to Palm Beach before?
04:26No.
04:27Never.
04:27You live in a castle, Babs.
04:28Oh, my God.
04:30Oh, hi.
04:31Hi.
04:32Nice to meet you.
04:34Have you not met Sebastian?
04:35I know.
04:36Oh, my goodness.
04:37It's so nice to meet you.
04:38I've seen pictures of you.
04:40I've never met you before.
04:42Yeah.
04:42This is Sebastian.
04:43Yeah, it's nice to meet you.
04:44The first time I met Winnie, I met her in London when she was walking a show.
04:48I immediately went back to Tommy.
04:50And I said, oh, my God.
04:51Tommy, you have to book Winnie Harlow for your next show.
04:54Like, she's smart, beautiful, funny.
04:57She shines.
04:58This kitchen reminds me of, um, what is that movie?
05:01Um, with the Olsen twins when they went to Paris.
05:04And they were with the chef.
05:05And they went and, like, snuck and got McDonald's.
05:07And it was, like, luxe just like this.
05:09And they had, like, McDonald's fries piled up inside.
05:14Too cute.
05:16I did not see that movie.
05:18All right, well.
05:19I have to press my luck a little bit now.
05:21Now that you've allowed me to come for a sleepover,
05:23I might have to move in.
05:24Well, there's plenty of room.
05:26I can promise you.
05:27Plenty, plenty of room.
05:29Seb, Seb.
05:30I want to see his room.
05:32Oh.
05:34My.
05:35Goodness.
05:36It's pretty great.
05:37I love your room so much.
05:39You have so many books in here.
05:41What's your favorite book?
05:42My favorite book is Heroes.
05:44I read last year in the seventh grade.
05:46Do you know I'm actually creating a children's book.
05:48Are you?
05:49Yeah.
05:49I wanted to make books about diversity.
05:52Currently, it's called Simply Winnie.
05:54Aww.
05:55And it's about me when I was a little girl.
05:57That's nice.
05:58Yeah.
05:58I don't think that kids should feel like they're different
06:02when they're just unique.
06:03We're all different.
06:05Right, Seb?
06:05You could write a book, too.
06:06I might as well write a book as well.
06:08How about I could maybe write, like, a book about me with autism
06:12and how it makes me unique and different?
06:16I love that.
06:17It's a very boring place if we were all the same.
06:19I love children.
06:21I've always known that I wanted to be a mother.
06:24It's just important for me to be married before I have kids.
06:27You can give me a review on my book.
06:29Is that a deal?
06:30Yeah, that's a deal.
06:31Perfect.
06:32I come from a Caribbean household.
06:34I mean, no sex before marriage.
06:37Period.
06:38Don't kill the messenger.
06:39That's what they said.
06:40But kids will come, you know?
06:42Everything in due time.
06:43Do you have a place setting every time you eat?
06:47Um...
06:51Fab-u-less looks.
06:54I love it.
06:56As you should.
06:57As you should.
06:59You hungry, Seb?
07:00Yeah.
07:00All right.
07:01Did you just move?
07:02I just moved to Washington.
07:03Kyle's been there for, like, three years.
07:05So I feel like for him, he feels more settled.
07:07And he's so handsome.
07:08He's so tall and so handsome.
07:10He's a fine, fine boy.
07:11He is very fine.
07:12He's a fine, fine boy.
07:12Yes, he is.
07:15He's a fine, fine specimen.
07:17He is.
07:17But where is he originally from?
07:18He is from Michigan.
07:19So how long is his contract in Washington?
07:22In D.C.
07:23In D.C.
07:23I don't know if it'll be permanent, but I definitely feel like we'll be there for a while,
07:26because he loves the team.
07:28He loves the city.
07:29I love the city, too.
07:30It's very beautiful out there.
07:32But I had a house in L.A., and I sold it because he wanted me to come and live
07:35with him.
07:36You sold it.
07:37I did.
07:37I did.
07:38I was really...
07:39That was your househouse.
07:40Heartbroken, yeah.
07:41I understand.
07:42But Kyle did really want me to be with him, because we always have to travel to see each other
07:46when we didn't live together.
07:48And now we get to wake up together.
07:51My boyfriend, Kyle, is a professional basketball player.
07:54He plays in the NBA.
07:56He actually ended up leaving L.A. and then going to D.C.
07:59He really wanted me to be with him, and my schedule is a little bit more loose.
08:03And so I moved to D.C. with him.
08:07When I left Toronto, I moved to London.
08:10So, Fashion Hub.
08:11Right.
08:12From London, I moved to New York. Fashion Hub.
08:14New York, I moved to L.A.
08:16All these places I could work.
08:18I could just get in the car, go to a shoot, come back home.
08:22I'm working.
08:23But not now.
08:23Every time I want to work.
08:25You've got to fly.
08:25I've got to fly.
08:26I just love living somewhere I can work.
08:29And it makes it kind of difficult.
08:31D definitely does inspire me.
08:33How's your skincare line going?
08:34I did a masterclass, so people brought tickets to come and see me do my makeup with my SPF line.
08:41Wow.
08:42And it was really amazing.
08:44We just started doing QVC, which is really cool.
08:47Oh, my God.
08:48Yeah.
08:49I'm actually doing QVC.
08:50I'm launching in the fall.
08:51She inspires me not just as a businesswoman, but just as a woman.
08:56She is an incredible mother and a beautiful friend.
09:01And the balance between, you know, work, family is a beautiful thing to be able to have and to aspire
09:10to.
09:10The secret is in the shake.
09:12Let's see.
09:13I've got a shake way.
09:14Very professional.
09:16What?
09:16I feel like you've done this before.
09:19Do you go to a lot of his games?
09:21So many.
09:23So many.
09:23Okay, so I want to come to a game, a home game, because I have not been to Washington.
09:28Yeah.
09:28We should do that.
09:29You can show me around.
09:30I love that.
09:31Next time you come, I'm going to give you proper Palm Beach charm.
09:35Are you trying to convince me to move over here?
09:37Always, of course, but I think that you're good where you are.
09:40Yeah, I can't.
09:41I can't.
09:41It really does suck.
09:42I can't do another move right now.
09:43No, I know.
09:44Official invites.
09:45Yes.
09:46Well, I invited myself to that.
09:48I don't usually day drink.
09:50It's not even early.
09:51It's Sunday, so.
09:52It's three o'clock.
09:55You definitely will not be day drinking when you have, like, two kids coming home from
09:59school.
10:00They'll be like, Mom.
10:01Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
10:02I know, I know.
10:09I know, I know.
10:12We're going to go in three, two, one.
10:15Welcome to your country, to your house, to your heart.
10:19My love.
10:19I am so happy to be here.
10:21It's like when you are climbing and you see your country, it's wonderful.
10:28You're a pioneer in many things.
10:30How did you do it?
10:32How did you do it?
10:34Did you not do it?
10:35I was always a very shy girl.
10:39It's important that my brand becomes global.
10:41And this promotion, they've been, like, planning it for a year.
10:49And they're doing all of these events
10:52and flying people from every different city.
10:56So it's important for me to perform.
11:07I always get nervous, but if I start thinking about all those details,
11:14then I get stuck.
11:15I work with myself and emotionally.
11:20I just don't allow fear to get into my life
11:23and to control my head.
11:28One, two, three, two.
11:30Our new mascara
11:32has four times more volume
11:34from my collection, Talia Sodi.
11:36Obviously.
11:37To celebrate the big ones,
11:39I want you to join me
11:40to give you a warm welcome.
11:42You know who?
11:43Talia Sodi!
11:46Talia!
11:48Talia!
11:49Talia!
11:50Talia!
11:53Welcome!
11:54Welcome!
11:55It's a pleasure, really, to be here.
11:58It's a pleasure
11:59to be in front of so many entrepreneurs.
12:03This is the collection
12:04of Talia Sodi
12:05for Pride 2.
12:07Go ahead!
12:07Get it, get it, get it, get it.
12:09Watch me.
12:11Head, heart, knock you out.
12:14Baby, let me show you how I break it down.
12:16Get down, won't stop now.
12:19Baby, let me show you how I break it down.
12:21What?
12:22Down, down, down, down, down.
12:23Fashion is always being part of me as an artist,
12:27as a person too.
12:28It's part of a way to express myself,
12:31my emotions, my feelings,
12:32my vulnerabilities, my strengths.
12:39As a living brand,
12:41you have to constantly create something fresh,
12:45new partnerships,
12:46new featureings, new collabs.
12:48If you stop, you stop.
12:50My mirror!
12:52My mirror!
12:53Ven!
12:54Me stay.
12:54Te quieren desde, te co estela del show.
12:57A ver, saca la pata.
12:59Ay, esas también son.
13:00Y esas también son...
13:02Claro, mi...
13:02Aquà salió el rockero!
13:04Oh, no!
13:08Si!
13:09Oye, con ese tarpón tanto tu da.
13:11Yo vengo, pedido.
13:14It's always emotional
13:15going home to Mexico.
13:17There are always a million memories
13:19memories that float back, like amazing memories,
13:22like crazy memories, some that are very, very painful.
13:51Hey, guys.
13:52Hey, how are you?
13:53How are you doing?
13:53Good to see you.
13:55How are you doing?
13:56Good to see you.
13:57Good to see you again.
13:58Hey, hey, hey.
13:59Hello.
13:59Hello.
14:00Scramble to sunny side up, baby.
14:03We're getting there.
14:04Scramble to sunny side up.
14:05Wow.
14:05Hi.
14:06Love you guys.
14:07Always.
14:08We did convention.
14:09It was really beautiful, and it helped me.
14:11And I think being back out gave me strength again.
14:15We were just talking about the big book,
14:17like how it just overnight came to life.
14:19You know, what, how many five o'clock in the mornings
14:21that we've been on, and then you walk in and they're just like.
14:23I always worry that you're going to quit on me.
14:25I'm always like, don't let Charlie quit on me
14:28because I love her, and she's the one person
14:31who really understands this story, like, by just conversation.
14:36Really got the concept of how important this book is to me
14:39and why my words are important to me.
14:42Tell me why you decided to write a book now.
14:47When JR passed away and I came home on his desk in Greenwich,
14:51there was like a list of things, like, almost like he made a hit list
14:54of things he wanted to get done.
14:55And he had always talked about writing a book.
14:57When we have time and we can settle down,
14:59we're going to write two books on.
15:01One will be about how we built a community,
15:03and the other one will be about how we found love.
15:05And so I decided to write a book now to help me heal.
15:11I kept it under wraps for the most part while I was finishing it
15:14because this has to be perfect.
15:16It was called Scrambled or Sunny Side Up.
15:18You know, when I was 18, he used to say,
15:20Scrambled or Sunny Side Up?
15:21And I would say, I don't know, baby, scramble.
15:24And he loved that I chose for him.
15:26But after you're together for years, you know, like most,
15:29we take it for granted.
15:30After I finally read it when I came home from convention,
15:34and I wrote you guys at like 4.30 in the morning 5,
15:38and I said, I just finished it for the 15th time,
15:41and I love it, and it's better than it's ever been.
15:43And I cried, and I laughed, and that's what I wanted to do.
15:46There's not just a story of grief.
15:48There's a love story. There's a business story.
15:50And there's lots of lessons in this story.
15:53And the lessons that I missed, also,
15:57that I didn't know about till after I lost JR.
16:00Mm-hmm.
16:01One of the things that I think is different about this book
16:03than another memoir or another business book or whatnot,
16:06there are very few people that have lived your experience
16:10of 36 years in this business and, like, that relationship.
16:13I mean, and this is doing exactly what I was hoping for.
16:16Filling up a lot of space where I feel empty.
16:19Because there's guilt in grief, right?
16:22There's anger in grief.
16:23There's things I'm still struggling with.
16:25You hear, I'm sure you've seen a big difference
16:27in Lauren Reitinger since we started this.
16:29And I truly believe that my story is a lot more than my story.
16:33I think it's a lot of...
16:34I think it's literally millions of people.
16:36Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
16:38Like most people who experience grief,
16:40you think you're the one with the worst pain.
16:42I didn't just lose my husband.
16:43I lost my coach, my mentor, my best friend.
16:46You know, my lover.
16:47You know, we liked each other.
16:49And I promised myself that as much pain as I was in,
16:54that I would spend my life helping people find a plan B
16:57if they had lost their plan A.
17:00If it affects one person, that to me is the most important thing.
17:04I've always wanted to help people, you know,
17:06and I've spent my life with Dara helping people.
17:08And it took me a long time to remember that.
17:10We're almost done.
17:11When do we...
17:13Where's the publisher at on things now?
17:15So the publishers have the final manuscript.
17:17They're going through and making sure every period,
17:19every punctuation, no misspelled words.
17:21And then as soon as we hit lock, so we'll all get a copy of it,
17:25we get another chance to go through and say,
17:27oh, we should have called it red, not blue or whatever.
17:29And I know it's really important, those little details to you.
17:31They are.
17:32But it'll look like the book, right?
17:34It'll be formatted and the whole thing.
17:36We'll all give a sign off on it.
17:38It's exciting.
17:39It's very exciting for me.
17:41I can't believe I'm an author.
17:43I know.
17:45Thank you for being you.
17:47Thank you for everything.
17:49It really means a lot.
17:50We're going to kill this.
17:51We're going to kill it.
17:53We're going to kill it.
17:54Absolutely.
17:54It's going to be great.
17:55It's going to be amazing.
17:55I'm ordering a pizza now.
17:57Yes.
17:58Thanks.
18:09Hello, darling.
18:10Oh, my gosh.
18:11She looks fab.
18:12It's like Miami.
18:13I haven't seen you in so long.
18:15I know.
18:15I know.
18:16I miss you.
18:17And you're working a lot.
18:18Kyle here?
18:19Kyle's not here.
18:20He's in D.C. right now.
18:24He actually hurt himself.
18:25Oh, he did?
18:26Yeah.
18:27Oh, no.
18:27He pulled his rib muscle.
18:30He loves playing basketball.
18:32So, like, he just wants to get back into the game.
18:33He'll get, like, so bored and be like,
18:35okay, but I don't want to play.
18:36I'm like, yeah, but you sprained your ankle.
18:38So...
18:39It's like he got hit with a spiritual tool by four.
18:42Right?
18:42It's, like, makes him.
18:43Kim Perel, my co-founder, has given me all the help
18:48and knowledge and her genius brain to help me put my brain
18:54work down to paper and out to the world.
18:57We had that initial conversation about where I wanted K-Skin to be
19:01and where I seen it.
19:02It's always been in Sephora, you know?
19:03I really wanted it to be launched in Sephora.
19:06I feel like they really know and have a finger on the pulse
19:11to what is big, fresh, and new in the beauty space.
19:15It went from being in my brain to, like, available now.
19:18I mean, last year, we were in Paris.
19:21This time, yes.
19:22I know, I know.
19:23Pitching.
19:24Like, it's amazing because it takes a lot of effort to show up,
19:30to pitch, to understand who you're talking to,
19:33to have the conversation.
19:34To travel.
19:34To travel.
19:35And, like, go for, like, one meeting to hear a no.
19:38To hear a no!
19:39We should do behind the scenes of pitching.
19:41That would be cute.
19:43Right?
19:43That would actually be really cute.
19:44Because people don't know what we go through
19:45in order to actually get to the one yet.
19:47And it's not all glamorous.
19:49Building my brand is so important.
19:52And since I've moved to D.C., I traveled so much more
19:56because any time I have to work, I have to leave.
19:59There's no work for me in D.C.
20:01So I'm always on the road, always on the go, go, go, go, go.
20:04One day, I can be in Miami meeting with my K-Skin team.
20:08And then the next day, I got to get on flight
20:09because I have a modeling job in L.A.
20:12All right, kids, let's get to work.
20:14But I woke up and showed up alone, gonna blow up.
20:19Wait, wait, wait, wait.
20:19We're doing the push in right now, yeah?
20:21Can't always say you're welcome.
20:23As a Caribbean...
20:25Take it up.
20:26Take it up.
20:27Take it up.
20:28So then I come back to D.C. for a couple days.
20:36I have to unpack, repack, back on the road to go and do a job.
20:41You are a multi-hyphenate supermodel, beauty entrepreneur.
20:44What piece of advice would you give about those hard, long days?
20:46You have to go for the things that speak to your spirit.
20:50I love it.
20:51Thank you guys.
20:52I feel like I just go.
20:53I just make it work.
20:54Full speed ahead, put my foot to the gas and make it shake.
20:58People say, like, you can have it all or you can't have it all.
21:02It is a balance of the two.
21:05Perseverance is the key to success.
21:08The behind the scenes that no one sees is amazing
21:13because I think that's what truly makes a great entrepreneur.
21:16It's like the resilience and the grit and just keep on going,
21:20regardless of circumstance.
21:21Like, that's what makes true success.
21:23Absolutely.
21:25Resilience.
21:25Yes, resilience.
21:26We got this.
21:27Yeah.
21:28We got this.
21:29We got this.
21:36Angel, did the book come in from the publisher?
21:39The actual book didn't come in, but I got something.
21:42I got to love you.
21:43The book didn't come in.
21:45The book didn't make it in on time, so you got me a mock-up.
21:49Because it was supposed to be here two days ago.
21:51Absolutely.
21:52But I love you that you did me mock-up from it.
21:54The book is almost at its completion point.
21:57We're finalizing the cover.
21:58This is my favorite.
21:59I like the color.
22:01I like the broken egg.
22:02The texture.
22:03The texture on the book.
22:03I think we need to shrink down the words,
22:06choosing to live your best life after losing your greatest love.
22:10Subtitle.
22:10And I would also say make sure Serena's name pops, too.
22:13No, for sure we want it to pop.
22:15Yeah.
22:15You know, the book's so important to me.
22:17She's so important to me.
22:19So I want the book to be something that not only am I proud of,
22:22but she's proud of, you know?
22:24I want to call Serena and thank her.
22:30Hey.
22:31Hey, boo, babe.
22:32You look gorgeous.
22:33Well, you do, too.
22:34How are you?
22:35I'm good.
22:36I just wanted to call you, babe, and thank you for doing this book forward for me.
22:41Because I love you and it's so meaningful to me.
22:44And, you know, you're the only person that could have done it, wrote it, and understood it.
22:48You know, you got me through the grief and you pushed me to counseling.
22:52And, of course, that was a revelation for me because it reminded me of how grateful I need to be
22:58for what I have.
22:59I don't know how to thank you enough.
23:00Enough.
23:01You don't have to thank me.
23:02The last thing JR posted was something of me and how proud he was of me.
23:07And so for Lauren to ask me to do the forward, I honestly, I felt honored, like, to really rely
23:13on our friendship and just say, like, I want you to write this special piece about the love of my
23:19life.
23:19It meant a lot to me.
23:21None of this would have happened without you.
23:23I'm just so grateful for your words, for the forward, for the message that you give to so many people.
23:28And being such a champion, not just for your friends, but for women everywhere.
23:31You really helped shape me into the person I've become.
23:34There's nothing I wouldn't do for you or for JR and for Amber and just, like...
23:40I know. I just feel like he knows that you did it.
23:43He's watching us from above and it just feels really right.
23:47And I'm really excited about the future.
23:50Be out there selling books with you.
23:54Serena's got one of the biggest hearts in the world.
23:58Right when JR died, she wrote me, she called me every day.
24:03I love you so much. I'll call you later, okay? I miss you.
24:07Love you so much. Bye.
24:09Bye.
24:14This is our time.
24:29It is the last day of this promotional trip. It was an amazing experience. The fans, my fans are so
24:35passionate. It's always inspiring to me.
24:41The more you share who you are, people connect. People believe it. People become part of the experience of the
24:50evolution of your brand. Of the evolution of your product. Of the dream that, listen, I achieved that. I came
24:58from a very humble neighborhood.
25:00Every time I arrive, every time I fall, every time I fall, every time I fall, every time I fall,
25:06I feel like.
25:31As a child, I was quiet and I was afraid.
25:34I felt lonely a lot.
25:35I was surrounded by people, but still felt like no one really saw me.
25:42In my mind, I was going to be a scientist like my father or in biology, but sometimes I just
25:48wanted to be the one inside of the TV singing and entertaining and performing.
25:55And I never, ever thought it was going to become a reality.
26:01Vamos, vamos a hacer ya!
26:03But at the same time, fate could make you feel isolated, like lonely, like I'm an outsider.
26:12Everything is happening, but I just, I'm observing.
26:16I think there's like old patterns that you learn from childhood, from your family.
26:22We have to eat enchiladas.
26:25We have to go the way to where I'm going.
26:28Here I bought you a piñata.
26:31What was my mother?
26:32Here is a grocery store.
26:33Hey, to buy my children.
26:36And they sell sweets.
26:38They sell everything.
26:38Me pidieron.
26:39They sell all the way to payasos.
26:40What you want.
26:41Okay, to send them here to buy?
26:43Here is the circuit.
26:45The interior.
26:46Ah, this is the piñateria that has been here all the time.
26:51Looking back to that little girl, like that young Thalia, my father died when I was six.
26:56When I was a teenager, my career gave me a new escape.
27:01It made me wear a mask when I didn't feel strong, but trauma is always there.
27:07You cannot erase it.
27:09You cannot hide it.
27:10Sometimes that little kid is the one that is in the corner inside of you, saying, like,
27:16I can't, I'm so nervous, I want to hide.
27:18So I work with myself to survive all of this.
27:23Ay, mimi, mira donde estoy, estoy nerviosa.
27:27¿Por qué dices eso?
27:28Pues porque estoy nerviosa de ver todo.
27:31Estás emocionada, se dice.
27:33Andale, tengo que quitarme eso de nerviosa.
27:35Nerviosa, no, no.
27:36This is the first time I'm back, like, in 30 years.
27:4130 years.
27:42Like, in 30 years.
27:44Or more.
27:46SÃ, quedé el mal.
27:48O sea...
27:49Porque te fuiste y te fuiste a la colonia.
27:52SÃ.
27:53It has been, like, 30 years since I've been to my childhood home.
27:58Not in the plan, but I want to go there.
28:01I just feel like it's a good chance to connect with what my childhood was.
28:07Some of those memories is just painful.
28:10I think it's a way for me to heal that.
28:14¿Estás lista?
28:17Se te ve el cable, mimi, mira.
28:21No sé, no sé si ya pueda.
28:37No sé, no sé, no sé si ya pueda, estoy tan emocionada.
28:42La vecindad.
28:43La vecindad.
28:44La vecindad.
28:45¿Qué te dije?
28:45Esta era.
28:47La vecindad.
28:48Peligrosa, mimi.
28:50Ay, mimi, qué bonitos momentos.
28:52Ay, que me estés acompañando, la vida estoy, mimi.
28:56Que estas dos asÃ.
28:57La vida estoy, mi amor.
28:59That neighborhood was amazing.
29:01So for me to go back there brings back so many memories.
29:06Hola, vecinos.
29:09Walking by the hand of my mother on the way to the church
29:12or to the little store crossing the street was my school.
29:17Esta, esta, esta, esta, esta mi casa.
29:20¿Y por qué puso perros tu papá?
29:23No sé, pero eran mucho más.
29:27Ay, mimi, yo quiero llorar.
29:29Espérate.
29:32Espérate, Iván.
29:35Mi casa.
29:39Ay, mimi, mi casa.
29:42Voy a tocar.
29:43Hello.
29:46¿Cuál crees que era mi cuarto?
29:49Asà estabas de chiquita.
29:51Asà estaba de chiquita.
29:52Mi cuarto era ese.
29:56¡Madre!
29:56¿Se acuerdan de ella?
29:57Hola.
29:57Yo, yo era su vecina.
29:59SÃ.
30:00Madre.
30:01SÃ.
30:01Yo era su vecina, madre.
30:03Ah, mira.
30:04Aquà me recibà el catecismo.
30:06SÃ, tu madrina fue Dolores Josefina.
30:10Gracias por abrirnos.
30:11When I was growing up in that house, in that neighborhood,
30:15the nuns were our neighbor.
30:17I was just like always spying on them.
30:21They bought my home.
30:22That is such a crazy surprise.
30:25Hacemos una vuelta por aquà para entrar a su casa.
30:28¿Voy a entrar a mi casa?
30:30SÃ.
30:30¿Voy a entrar a mi casa?
30:32SÃ.
30:32Déjame ver si puede.
30:33No viene ya.
30:34ImagÃnate.
30:37Estoy muriendo.
30:38Estoy muriendo.
30:39Ok, yo me estoy desmayando.
30:41¿Quieres desmayarte ahorita o después?
30:44Estoy temblando.
30:45Estoy temblando.
30:46Puedes entrar a tu casa.
30:47Madre.
30:48Y además que convertimos en una parte de tu casa en una capilla.
30:52Aquà todavÃa tenemos una capilla.
30:54No, mami.
30:55Mira, ¿qué pasa?
30:57Mira.
30:59Aquà hicimos una capilla.
31:01Mira.
31:02Este era el patio de mi casa.
31:05Este era el patio de tu casa.
31:07Ay, qué bonita.
31:08Mira, qué bonito era.
31:10Mira, qué bonito.
31:11Mira.
31:11Aquà está el santÃsimo.
31:14Ajá.
31:16Disfrútalo.
31:17Allá era la lavanderÃa.
31:19SÃ.
31:20Yo por ahÃ.
31:21Está la sala.
31:21La sala sà está igual que tu casa.
31:24SÃ.
31:25A ver, vamos a metotear.
31:26Por ahà entraba la puerta principal.
31:29A ver, madre.
31:30Cuénteme.
31:30Aquà está la cochera todavÃa.
31:32Ay.
31:33Madre.
31:33Espérate.
31:34Por aquà entrábamos.
31:35SÃ, sÃ.
31:36Ahà está la puerta todavÃa, pero ya no la usamos.
31:38Pero aquà está.
31:40¿Y esto era la cocina de mi mamá?
31:42Mira.
31:42Está igual.
31:43La cocina estaba allá.
31:44Está igual.
31:45Está igual.
31:46Madre, yo tengo fotos.
31:48Aquà en esta pared.
31:50Ah, aquà ponÃamos, aquà ponÃamos mi mesita de cumpleaños.
31:54Y mi mamá pegaba globos aquà con diurex.
31:57Estaba miedo de conectar con las raÃces, con lo que era mi adolescencia.
32:03Pero es como un momento hermoso para mÃ.
32:07Es como una energÃa de liberación.
32:11Y es como un momento de gratitud.
32:13El árbol de Navidad yo lo ponÃa aquÃ.
32:16Aquà lo ponÃamos.
32:18Y aquà ponÃamos en la mesa el nacimiento precioso y aquà eran las cenas.
32:22Y ahà se cocinaba la cena de Navidad.
32:25¡Qué emocionada!
32:27¡Qué maravilla!
32:28This trip has been a source of healing and I will tell to that little Talia that grew
32:34up in that house to don't be afraid.
32:38Everything is possible.
32:39Just go for it.
32:42I'm here for you.
32:43And guess what?
32:44You made it.
32:46¡Qué increÃble!
32:49Estoy...
32:50Wow.
32:52Se siente paz, ¿verdad?
32:56Mi amor, qué bonito todo.
33:00Es que México, qué hermoso de todo.
33:12Y'all ready to pack?
33:14Yes.
33:14Thank you for helping me.
33:15I appreciate it.
33:16Come on.
33:16Of course.
33:18It's time for me to leave, but I'm really, really sad.
33:23So Kyle was traded to Milwaukee.
33:26I am so excited for him.
33:28I'm so proud of him, but this is a really big move.
33:31Everything has literally happened so quickly.
33:34From the day the trade went out publicly, it's been, like, fast-paced.
33:40I just packed up my house in LA, and now we are packing up the house again.
33:47I feel like a quarter of my life is packing and moving.
33:50Did you like your time in D.C.?
33:51I was about to ask that.
33:52I did.
33:53It seems like you guys had a lot of fun here.
33:56You know what the thing is?
33:57I don't mind living in a place that is not typical for me, like D.C. or Milwaukee.
34:04Right.
34:04It's just I like to live somewhere I can work.
34:07Right.
34:08You know, I've been moving around so much.
34:11That is really not healthy.
34:12So do you feel like being here has made it a lot harder for you to drive your business
34:17to, like, where you want to see it?
34:19Yeah.
34:20Absolutely.
34:20Yeah.
34:21I think it's been really difficult, like, the time zones and, like, being in meetings and
34:28having, like, so many other things going and so many other moving parts.
34:32Yeah.
34:32Like, balancing everybody else's schedule, too, is really difficult.
34:36As the founder of K-Skin, it falls on my shoulders to succeed.
34:39Being, like, new and young in a space and also being a Black woman in a space, too, like,
34:44it can be overwhelming.
34:45The scariest part about going for your passions is the fear of failure.
34:51That fear doesn't go away.
34:52You're not obviously going to live in Milwaukee full time like how you did in D.C.
34:57So what's the plan this time?
35:00We have to be able to, like, really communicate about this in the next, like, year.
35:06Yeah.
35:07I get stressed all the time.
35:08My whole life, I always thought I'm going to have kids when I'm 30.
35:11But now that I've gotten to 30 and I was like, oh, my gosh, we're, like, two past three ships
35:16in the night.
35:16It just made me so sad because this is where we're at now.
35:19What does settling down for you look like, like, taking a far step back away from work?
35:24Or are you going to try and balance it both or...
35:30Kyle and I are having relationship counseling and really having those conversations.
35:37Damn.
35:39What?
35:40It's a lot.
35:41I know, right?
35:42I will have to have the conversation that my career is hard in Milwaukee.
35:48Things are going to have to change.
35:49As we go through this move and we start to settle into Milwaukee, I feel like we'll gain
35:55a lot of that clarity.
35:57But for now, it's just...
35:59It's pretty stressful, honestly.
36:01But nourishing that career that I've built is so important to me.
36:06We'll see.
36:07I love that man.
36:08But at this point, I like a little bit more stability.
36:12I don't know how I'm going to make it work.

36:51This is your moment, baby.
36:52Fashion Week was a great success.
36:54It's full speed ahead.
36:57Talk to Joe about footwear.
36:59So he's getting rid of his licenses.
37:02My partner had taken on some other brands and I had not known that he was doing that,
37:07which, you know, doesn't help when you're trying to launch a brand.
37:11So frustrating.
37:13What's going on with your VC fund?
37:14I heard you're doing a whole fund.
37:15Raising capital is really difficult.
37:18Lauren's giving me an opportunity to pitch my fund.
37:21Like, what?
37:23She's going to say yes.
37:24Or, you know, we'll hunt her down.
37:29Fernanda.
37:31Where are my siblings?
37:32Rangel, my clothing brand.
37:34We have a collection about to launch really soon.
37:38Is there any way to get in touch with the driver?
37:40If the package doesn't get here, the two pieces that are missing, they're not going
37:46to make the cut for the wholesalers.
37:47Oh, you guys are just a villain of an online game.
38:01Ah, because the hell is there.
38:06I can't even know that I like to love.
38:10Not afraid of the fire or the flame or the rest of love.
38:17Cause I am a warrior.
38:21Woo.
38:23Yeah, yeah.
38:26Woo.
38:28Woo.
38:29Woo.
38:30I am a warrior.
38:33Woo.
38:36Woo.
38:37Yeah, yeah.
38:38Woo.
38:39Woo.
38:41I am a warrior.
