00:00Previously on Bell Collective Birmingham.
00:03Hey team.
00:04Hello, hello.
00:05It's your Lala body.
00:06Canvas is doing this collaboration with Lala Anthony,
00:10and it's such a huge deal for us.
00:11I want to talk to her about doing a pre-release party.
00:14You should definitely do the party in Birmingham.
00:15Come to the ham and meet a few people.
00:17You know I hate meeting new people.
00:19My name is Amber Jones.
00:20I'm the current CFO of Canvas Beauty.
00:22Stormy has always been weary of meeting new people,
00:24but I have friends that are movers and shakers,
00:27and the pulse of this city when it comes to entrepreneurship.
00:31I am Nigerian-born content creator in Birmingham, Alabama.
00:35Kayla!
00:36I teach parents how to get their kids started
00:38in real acting and modeling.
00:39I pray that she has a sister that she can call on,
00:42Lord Heavenly Father, God.
00:43My circle is full of boss women that believe.
00:47I'm inviting Kayla.
00:50Well, I'm interested to see how that go.
00:51She rubbed me the wrong way.
00:54Thank you for the invite.
00:56It's not first lady, it's Miss Mayer.
00:58It's Kendra.
00:59You do not look like you had a baby.
01:00You look good.
01:02I went to New York Fashion Week seven months pregnant.
01:04Did you?
01:04Yes.
01:05Fumi can definitely hold a conversation.
01:06Oh, she can talk.
01:09So do you still feel like it may be like some awkwardness?
01:12When she came here, she didn't speak.
01:48I was just telling her when you came in that you didn't speak.
01:53It was like an obvious awkwardness or an obvious step look over.
01:57So I'm like, is it anything?
01:59Like, what's what?
02:00No, absolutely not.
02:02Boy, don't see.
02:03I don't think there is a lot going on.
02:05I never would not speak to you on purpose.
02:07Oh, okay.
02:08That's two for two.
02:09Coming through the door.
02:10Hey, mom!
02:12Hi, babe!
02:13And standing at the bar.
02:14What are the options?
02:15Oh, they're right here.
02:16We two for two at the free throw line today.
02:19I always want people to feel welcome.
02:20I always want people to feel loved.
02:22I spoke to everybody that I could.
02:24At this point, it's given.
02:27It's a pattern.
02:28She could have 100% came up to me and been like, hey, Kayla.
02:31You know what I mean?
02:31Like, I just don't know why it was me singled out.
02:35Last we seen each other, it's like you walked on.
02:36You spoke to everybody.
02:37I was like, hey, you still went literally around.
02:41The sad part is, I literally don't remember that.
02:43I remember seeing Amber.
02:44Amber, like, I don't have a problem.
02:47I barely know her, so.
02:48I just think these are two amazing women.
02:50And if they knew each other, they'd be like besties.
02:54I'll talk to her.
02:55I'll socialize with her.
02:56But as far as us ever being super close,
02:58I just don't see it happening.
03:00I don't have a problem with anyone, pretty much.
03:03Okay, we're good.
03:04And we can do lunch.
03:05We can do lunch.
03:06Yeah, we can do lunch.
03:08We can definitely do lunch.
03:09All right, let's go.
03:10Unless she forgets about it.
03:12Who knows?
03:25Hi.
03:26I wish Rala couldn't be here tonight.
03:28She really wanted to be here.
03:30This is a really big monumental moment in campus history.
03:33This is our very first celebrity collaboration.
03:40And I thank you all for sharing it with me.
03:42It means a lot.
03:44I love you guys.
03:45Thank you guys so much.
03:46It really means a lot to me.
03:48I really thank everybody for coming out to support.
03:51I really appreciate the great energy that's been in the room, the amazing reviews.
03:55I'm glad they love the product.
03:56These are some good people.
03:58But we have a creative camp, a photo shoot, and a 48-hour live stream to plan.
04:04It's time to go.
04:05We still got work to do.
04:19Game night is our baby.
04:20It's something that we're really known for in Birmingham.
04:23Hey.
04:24Will.
04:25Hey, what are you doing?
04:26How y'all doing?
04:27We believe that it's so important to pour into these couples and the couples pour into us.
04:33We're having game night this weekend and just trying to see how we're going to set up everything.
04:37Marriage is important to me.
04:39It's a covenant between you, your spouse, God.
04:43I think me and my husband is doing God's work the way he designed us to do it.
04:49I never got a chance to tell you the beauty canvas party.
04:52It was dope.
04:53Like, she on her stuff.
04:56Like, Stormy, she on her stuff.
04:57It was just really nice.
04:59I'm excited for this weekend.
05:00I feel just overwhelmed with joy.
05:02Look what God is birthing through our marriage.
05:04We got the marriage community that we're building.
05:07Our businesses are thriving.
05:09We're about to launch our new web page and our products, and I'm so excited.
05:16I'm excited about that, too.
05:17I remember asking you, like, Bae, how did you know that you love me?
05:23Like, how did you know?
05:24And I was like, did you get them butterflies?
05:26And you was like, no.
05:28I just made a decision to choose you.
05:32Now, going on almost three years, I realized that love is a choice.
05:36It is.
05:37And now we got a whole T-shirt line and a hat line that's called choosing.
05:42Yeah, that's dope.
05:43This is not a product that we just want to sell.
05:45It's our life experience.
05:47So bad, I got something to ask you.
05:48What you got to ask me?
05:49Well, our small baby is about to turn two.
05:54Mm-hmm.
05:55Our older kids are older.
05:58Yeah, that's what children do.
06:00They get older.
06:01Oh, check them.
06:02And I think it's only right for us to have another baby.
06:08We are a blended family.
06:10Three beautiful kids.
06:12My oldest daughter, Zoe, she's 12.
06:16And my husband has a son, Tyus Jones, and he is 10.
06:20And I have my baby.
06:22His name is Knox Jones.
06:24So why not add to the Brady Bunch?
06:26I hear exactly what you're saying.
06:28Okay, then let's do it!
06:31So I'm thinking about everything we have to do with Knox right now times two.
06:38And that's why I'm, like, really considering a vasectomy.
06:50Oh, vasectomy.
06:53Vasectomy.
06:54Oh, Lord.
07:04One thing that I love about it is that we're always on one accord.
07:08Mm-hmm.
07:09It's because I want more kids.
07:11I need you to be willing to reconsider.
07:17Mm-hmm.
07:19Like I said, I really don't want any more.
07:22I feel like we've done that enough.
07:38Oh, it's your brother, dog!
07:41Hi!
07:42Oh, my God, you look gorgeous.
07:44You look so good!
07:45You look stunning!
07:47You look amazing!
07:48And the doggy!
07:49Is he okay?
07:50Of course, yeah, yeah.
07:51Stormy put on such an amazing event.
07:55And I'm so excited to host the ladies.
07:59I love connecting with people through my culture.
08:02So I cook assorted small bites as well as caviar.
08:06Because, you know, life is too short to be eating biscuits and gravy every day of your life.
08:12You know, the girls at your party, I loved all of them.
08:17I feel like all of them were very welcoming.
08:18The only person I felt like wasn't that welcoming was Tiffany.
08:28Does she...
08:29Oh!
08:29Someone's at the door.
08:33Oh!
08:35Hey!
08:36You look gorgeous!
08:38I think that's Amber.
08:39I hear Amber.
08:39So we have wine, mimosas, and she can do a margarita for you.
08:43Got you, got you.
08:44Can I have a Montel margarita?
08:46Am, bam!
08:47Stormy!
08:48Oh, no!
08:49True!
08:49I know that voice anyway.
08:51You look so pretty.
08:52Oh, you look too.
08:53You look gorgeous.
08:54Thank you so much.
08:54Oh, baby, you put the theme in the vibe, too.
08:56No, she looks really good.
08:58That body is body-ing.
08:59Always.
08:59I'm telling you, I've been eating.
09:00I've been eating good.
09:01I was telling Stormy about not getting the warmest feeling from Tiffany.
09:05Really?
09:06I love Tiffany.
09:07It's so outgoing.
09:08You know, I ended up talking to her best friend for a long time.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Okay.
09:13And she was like, girl, don't come stealing my best friend.
09:15I don't know if she was joking, but I was like, first of all, I didn't get the best feeling
09:19for me.
09:19Yeah.
09:19You know, it's just, I don't want to misinterpret anything.
09:22You guys, let me get the door.
09:23Tiffany has never been around.
09:24I came to a canvas event, too.
09:25So she probably, you know, was just scoping out the scene.
09:27It was a lot overwhelmed with-
09:28Y'all, let me grab this door.
09:29Yeah, yeah.
09:29Don't talk about me while I'm gone.
09:30It definitely surprised me that Tiffany gave Fool Me a Cold Shoulder.
09:34That is not Tiffany.
09:35Hey!
09:36Hey, girl, you look cute.
09:37If you call Tiffany at five in the morning, first time!
09:42Why do you do that?
09:43Like, that's just her personality.
09:44How y'all doing?
09:45Hola, hola.
09:46How you doing?
09:47I know I always like to eat.
09:50Awkward.
09:50Mm-mm.
09:51I'm gonna give you an air hug.
09:54A nice air hug.
09:55Oh, you don't do dogs?
09:57Really?
09:58And Trey, Trey sensed it, too.
10:00That was a lot.
10:03Coming up.
10:06Seeing all the girls out there just starting their things made me smile so hard.
10:11Kayla, I thought you were me.
10:12No, you got a divorce.
10:14You didn't know.
10:14I had no idea.
10:16She got a togetherness.
10:19Leg out.
10:20And later.
10:21A little gag.
10:22That looks so good.
10:23That egg.
10:26This is fire.
10:28So are we gonna give each other time to talk?
10:30That's fine.
10:30Yeah, you're right.
10:31I interrupted you.
10:32Please go.
10:32You did.
10:33Okay.
10:38How y'all doing?
10:39Good, how you doing?
10:41Y'all know I always like to eat.
10:44Mm-mm.
10:45I'm gonna give you an air hug.
10:46Girl, get the dog out the kitchen.
10:50It's breathing all over the food.
10:52Oh, you don't need dogs?
10:53Yeah, she don't do good.
10:54Me and her be at it in my kitchen.
10:55Really?
10:56And Trey, Trey sensed it, too.
10:58That was a lot.
10:59It's hurt.
11:00Fumi, are you taking coke?
11:04They say dogs sense spirits.
11:08We're on the same page.
11:09Yes, I am.
11:10Okay.
11:11Come here.
11:11I'll be your coke chick for today.
11:14You're so welcome.
11:15Trey is growling and shaking.
11:16You want to pee?
11:17Okay.
11:18Oh, yes.
11:19Trey is definitely an oracle.
11:22I trust anything that Trey has to say.
11:25You hear me, baby?
11:26Whatever you say, I believe.
11:28Okay?
11:29You got good discernment.
11:30I'm excited.
11:31Me, too.
11:32Let me go get the door.
11:33I'm going to come with you because I'm going to get something to drink.
11:35Yes, please.
11:37My dog really ain't never did that.
11:38That dog's sad.
11:39My dog really has never done that.
11:40My dog don't do that.
11:42Hey, Kayla.
11:44Oh, my God.
11:45Trey, how are you?
11:46So do you.
11:47Not like I didn't know Kayla was coming, let alone with a handkerchief on.
11:52I will, of course, be cordial, but something just doesn't add up about her.
11:56And I'm great at math.
11:58Girl.
11:59Hey.
11:59You would be the last one to arrive.
12:01You look real good.
12:02How are you doing?
12:04Hey, y'all.
12:04Savannah.
12:05Sorry I'm late.
12:07Well, let me welcome y'all.
12:09I'm so glad to have all of you guys here.
12:12I wanted to show a little bit of Nigerian culture.
12:14So I have jollof fries, plantain, some suya, some puff puff.
12:18And then today we're trying caviar.
12:21I don't know if you ladies have ever had caviar before.
12:24I haven't.
12:25You'll be trying it today.
12:26I have some clothing over there.
12:27So you guys get to try on things.
12:29You can buy whatever you want.
12:30Thank you so much for having me.
12:32You're so welcome.
12:33Grab a plate.
12:34Boomi went all the way out.
12:36She cooked all this amazing Nigerian food.
12:40This rice is good.
12:41Hey, you guys.
12:42Let's pause because I want to do the caviar.
12:45This is a really good one.
12:47Anybody has a fish allergy?
12:48I think I might.
12:50Girl, no you don't.
12:51I was going to do a bump.
12:54And it's going to go right on the back of your hand.
12:56Oh, that's a lot.
12:58That's not a bump.
12:59Oh, it's too much?
12:59That's a dollar.
13:00No, it's not.
13:02Give me about half of what they have.
13:03No, you got to try it.
13:05This is so fun.
13:06Oh, she gave me a dollar for real.
13:08A dollar.
13:10I don't do that caviar type shit.
13:12Give me some neck bones.
13:14I'll even take a mother pig ear, okay?
13:17I'll take some chitterlings.
13:19But the caviar, get somebody else to do it.
13:22Stormy, you want to lead us?
13:25Cheers to love, life, laughter, prosperity.
13:29Amen.
13:29Amen.
13:32Oh, God.
13:33Oh, my God.
13:34It's so good.
13:35It's like salt.
13:38Swallow.
13:38Swallow.
13:40Swallow it, Tiffany.
13:42You've heard that before.
13:43Swallow.
13:44Yeah, swap.
13:45Swallow.
13:46I knew a lot of that in my marriage.
13:47Hey.
13:48Oh, my God.
13:51Do you?
13:51Do you or you don't?
13:52I know, I'm curious.
13:53No, I'm curious.
13:54I don't swallow.
13:56Oh, okay.
13:56I don't.
13:57Do you swallow?
13:59I have.
13:59You have?
14:00Okay.
14:00This took a turn, like, real quick.
14:02Have you?
14:03I haven't.
14:04I haven't.
14:04Oh, you haven't, okay.
14:05But I do all the other things with my husband
14:07to make sure that man's satisfied.
14:09You shed a lot more when you do.
14:10I want a new house, so I'm definitely...
14:13Swallow.
14:17Baby, I'll peep up on a handstand
14:19for seven days and seven nights for this house
14:22for a million-plus home.
14:24Ask me what I won't do.
14:26I think the list is shorter.
14:27Okay, so I heard you were doing something.
14:30I didn't get an invite, but...
14:32You didn't get an invite?
14:33I don't know.
14:34Well, is Sam here?
14:36No.
14:36Okay, well, then...
14:38Come on!
14:39You know I do couple things, like, for the couples.
14:42That's probably why you didn't get an invite,
14:44because your husband's not here.
14:46Okay.
14:47Yeah.
14:47Good to you.
14:48You going?
14:49I'm hosting.
14:50I told her to let her actually have fun and enjoy.
14:53I'll host it and work the door.
14:54What, you gonna work the door with me?
14:56My man not coming, girl.
14:57Like, I'm gonna be...
14:58I can be at the door.
15:00You gonna be at the door?
15:01Well, if Stormy can be at the door,
15:03I can be at the door.
15:05No, I really don't want all three of y'all at the door.
15:08What are y'all gonna be doing at the door?
15:10Shuggity jibing.
15:11What?
15:12You're having a good time.
15:14I would like to come by, if that's okay.
15:17Yeah.
15:17Okay.
15:18Okay.
15:18Kayla, are you coming?
15:19You said married couples, right?
15:20Yeah, just married couples.
15:21I'm sorry, because I'm not married.
15:23It's not over there.
15:26She's together.
15:27She's together.
15:28She's together.
15:28She got a togetherness.
15:29Kayla, I thought you were married.
15:31No, you got a divorce.
15:33You didn't know?
15:33I had no idea.
15:35Girl, you didn't see him at the party.
15:38This is Jason.
15:39Hi, Jason.
15:40Nice to meet you.
15:41I thought that was him.
15:43No, no, no.
15:44That's not him.
15:45That's a whole other person.
15:47Yeah.
15:47Oop.
15:49That ain't got nothing to do with me.
15:52This is getting fun.
15:53I mind my business.
15:55I drink my water.
15:56And I read my Bible.
15:57Okay.
16:02Coming up, couple's night.
16:04We bring couples together just to have a good time, and we show that Christians can have
16:08a good time.
16:09All right, you ready?
16:10There you go.
16:10All right, on your mark.

16:23I thought you were married.
16:25No, you got a divorce.
16:26You didn't know?
16:26I had no idea.
16:28It was final back in late last year.
16:31Okay.
16:32I'm sorry.
16:34Don't be.
16:34Okay.
16:35Well, congratulations.
16:37So let's go try on some outfits.
16:38All right.
16:38Let's go.
16:39All right, ladies.
16:40I've worked with a brand here named Forelli's in Birmingham.
16:43She has amazing pieces from Nigeria, really.
16:46A little bit of Ghanaian pieces here, but just see what you love.
16:50And I know y'all are going to look so good.
16:51And we look a fraction of as good as you, baby.
16:53Right.
16:54We finna eat.
16:55Well, you're never going to look as good as me, though.
16:57Aw, damn.
16:58Damn.
16:59Now it's time for them to strut and show their style in these garments so they can get to
17:05know me a little bit better.
17:06I have a photographer here.
17:07He's going to do some images of y'all.
17:09Listen, I've never felt so wrinkleful.
17:11You designed this one.
17:12I designed this one.
17:13I designed the one that I have on.
17:15Listen, Fumi know what she doing when it comes to designing, because this Nigerian situation
17:20that I got on, honey, it is amazing.
17:22I never want to take it off.
17:24Who's going first?
17:25I'm going first.
17:25Kayla, the model maker's going first.
17:27The model maker?
17:29I have to bring it.
17:30There's a lot of pressure riding on this moment, because I am the model maker.
17:33Five, four, three, two, one.
17:38Oh!
17:40Oh!
17:42Get the rose of your hair.
17:44Get the rose of your hair.
17:45I love Sonetta.
17:46Sonetta does modeling.
17:47Baby, that girl can strut.
17:49She can walk, and she can do all the things.
17:51Seeing all the girls out there just strutting their things made me smile so hard.
17:55People always want me to put on their clothes to be a model, because I'm this big.
17:59We got Mary Magdalene.
18:10Now, the person with the best walk has to be Stormy.
18:15And I'm going to say that because of the draw.
18:18Me and that dog are kindred spirits.
18:23I am channeling everything royal.
18:27But when it comes to royal fashion, her name is Stormy Ford, the best Nigerian designer.
18:35That was fun!
18:36That was so fun!
18:38Listen, let me tell you, you know how to go party, okay?
18:40Invite me every time.
18:41I love it.
18:42Don't worry.
18:43And by the time you guys come, my house will be bigger.
18:45Okay.
18:46I'll be able to host a little bit more.
18:47You already listed this?
18:49This house is listed.
18:50We're looking for something that's just a little bit more square footage.
18:54Okay.
18:54Oh, y'all, the TikTok live.
18:56I'm having the live this week.
18:57I'd love for you guys to come down.
18:59Ah!
19:00Okay, I'm there.
19:01Oh, my God.
19:02How y'all feel about being on camera?
19:03You know I hate attention.
19:05How did you feel then with all the attention on you the day of your wedding?
19:08You look familiar.
19:10You had a viral proposal.
19:12Right?
19:13There you go!
19:13Yes!
19:14Yes!
19:16Oh, my gosh!
19:17That man blew my mind!
19:21The internet went crazy.
19:23Now, who do you know that proposed and pulled off a whole wedding?
19:28Like, my mind is still blown.
19:31That was so beautiful.
19:32Tell me about it.
19:33It was.
19:33My best friend and my husband planned it.
19:37But that same day, I had a surprise birthday dinner for him.
19:41So that day...
19:42You were surprising him?
19:43Yes!
19:44So I was having his friends to come out of town.
19:47We was having a private dinner and a little, small, little party.
19:49And when I walked in there, I was like, whoa.
19:52I wouldn't have liked it.
19:53Really?
19:54Why not?
19:54But I love that for you.
19:55I'm so A-type that I feel like I'd be like, what the heck are you doing?
19:59But he knew you well enough to know you would love that.
20:02That was like my dream.
20:04And I just love for a man just to leave.
20:06You know, you just have a man like, this what we doing.
20:09Okay.
20:09Okay, daddy.
20:10Okay, that's what we doing.
20:11Okay.
20:12Did he already know like your style and your taste of like dress and everything?
20:16Yeah.
20:16Okay, so the dress part, my best friend had just got proposed to.
20:20So I thought we was just having a girl's day all trying on dresses.
20:24And I was like, oh my gosh, I love this dress.
20:27I was like, you know what?
20:27I'm going to put it on layaway.
20:29Thinking like, okay, like when the time does come.
20:31But I didn't think that the time would be the next two, three weeks.
20:36Tiffany has great faith.
20:37She has great faith.
20:38For her to go out and get the dress and put it on layaway.
20:42I mean, I have faith too, but I'm going to need to like propose, then go find the dress.
20:48Wow.
20:49And then we went on our honeymoon and I got pregnant.
20:51Yeah.
20:52She was telling me this at your event.
20:55I thought it was like time.
20:56I thought it was years.
20:57No.
20:59No.
21:02It's a lot of questions, but I ain't going to ask none right now.
21:05Hey, for me.
21:06Stormy's there when I came in.
21:08I have to go.
21:08I hate to leave.
21:12But baby, I got to go get my kids.
21:15All right.
21:15Bye, y'all.
21:16Y'all be good.
21:19Okay.
21:20Um, I was telling Stormy earlier I didn't get like the warmest vibes from Tiffany.
21:26When I met her at Stormy's event, she came up and she was like, don't be stealing my best friend.
21:31I was like, oh, that's weird.
21:33You guys think I should come to Tiffany's event and just talk to her?
21:36Yes, you should come.
21:36I definitely think you should talk to her.
21:37And then leave?
21:38Yeah.
21:39Yeah.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Or the conversation will go well and you can stay.
21:41Okay, good.
21:42So I'll come then.
21:43Yeah.
21:43Appreciate you guys coming.
21:45I appreciate you bringing such warm energy.
21:47Go to the kitchen, grab a to-go box, take it with you.
21:50Take some for your man.
21:51And I can take my outfit.
21:53Coming up.
21:53There were a couple of things that happened at Stormy's event.
21:56You said something about, oh, don't steal my best friend, and I don't recall saying it.
22:02You definitely said that.
22:06I'm in my bag.
22:08I'm in my ocean swimming around.
22:10I'm gonna keep going, do it with me.
22:13It gets hard, hard, hard when I'm gonna say yeah, I'm gonna say yeah.
22:17Yo.
22:18How's it going?
22:19Hello.
22:20How's it going?
22:21We at it.
22:22We at it.
22:22I love this.
22:27I really want this shoot to be like regal.
22:30Yeah.
22:31Editorial.
22:32Yeah.
22:32High end.
22:33Okay, gotcha.
22:34Just so vogue.
22:35The photo shoot that we're doing today with Lala Anthony herself is for advertisement.
22:40This will be plastered everywhere.
22:43Mike, where the hell is he?
22:45Mike is our creative director here at Canvas.
22:48His creativity is truly through the roof.
22:50I'm so grateful to have him here.
22:53Cover a shoot with Lennox and Parker.
22:54They want to shoot at your house in Huntsville.
22:56Okay.
22:57Yeah.
22:57So we'll discuss what that looks like.
22:58The Chanel Hudson O'Connor is my chief advisor.
23:03To be able to work with her and bounce ideas off her and just have insight and foresight
23:07to a lot of the things that happens at this scale as an entrepreneur, I'm so grateful for it.
23:13Lala's here.
23:14Oh my God.
23:15Oh.
23:17You look so green.
23:18Are you excited?
23:21Yes, of course.
23:22So amazing.
23:24When I say that Lala Anthony is going to be in everybody's face by way of Canvas Beauty,
23:29that's what this photo shoot is for.
23:31You look so good.
23:34And honestly, just to market this collaboration in the fashion that it deserves.
23:38Oh my God.
23:40What?
23:40This is beautiful.
23:42We keep upping it.
23:43It's so good.
23:43I feel like sexy again.
23:45And your scents are sexy.
23:46Like you did such a great job.
23:48Well, I didn't do it myself.
23:49I did it with you.
23:50You did?
23:51Your diet is-
23:52It's been a journey.
23:52Your mind is different.
23:53Oh.
23:54No, it is.
23:54The way you think about things, I watch you like brainstorm, think, and then execute.
23:59It's really powerful to see it.
24:02Don't make me cry.
24:03Yeah, no, I mean it.
24:04I'm still shocked that Lala reached out to me in the DMs.
24:08To be honest, I never even thought about a celebrity activation.
24:12I found you.
24:14I came after you.
24:15I slid in your DMs.
24:16I was like, what are we doing?
24:17I'm so glad we're doing it.
24:18I'm so glad.
24:19But to be able to have it with someone like Lala, who's not just a massive celebrity,
24:23but who also has like a personal heart, I couldn't have asked for a greater first collaboration.
24:29The woman is truly a gem.
24:31I cannot wait.
24:31The live is going to be crazy.
24:3348 hours.
24:34And we'll be together again next week.
24:36So I'm excited.
24:37Yes.
24:37It's about to be fun.
24:38Oh my God, it is next week.
24:39It's next week.
24:40It's next week.
24:42It's next week.
24:43Yes.
24:44We are seven days away from the live.
24:46And this is when get real crazy.
24:48What the ?
24:49Yeah.
24:50We got so much editing to do.
24:51I'm sending you everything, too, by Friday.
24:53I'm still waiting on these boxes, which is supposed to arrive three days before the live.
24:58All I know is I was told that the quality of them is going to be better than the prototype.
25:03I hate this.
25:04It's horrible, bro.
25:06Look, this don't look like our alchemy box.
25:08I've already committed to the live.
25:10I've already pushed it back one time.
25:12We are here.
25:13It has to get done.
25:14And I believe that God want this for me so bad that I know he ain't bring me this far
25:20to leave me.
25:21It has to work.
25:22Okay, perfect.
25:22Everything that we've gotten so far.
25:24Yeah.
25:24Like, we really here in Birmingham doing a creative camp right now.
25:27That's what I heard.
25:27Yeah.
25:27In addition to the La La Shoe, we also have a Canvas Creative Camp where we have our creators
25:33in the same house for a week to produce hundreds of pieces of content because every single live,
25:40we're always trying to outdo the last one that we did.
25:42I'm going to get you starting over here so we can get the windowsills in.
25:45So let's get your elbow up and play around, you know, leg out, a little gag.
25:51That looks so good.
25:52You like that?
25:53See me now?
25:53Perfect.
25:54I like that crop.
25:56Let's work on giving her, like, pose directions too.
25:58Okay.
25:59But this is good.
26:00Beautiful.
26:00Hey, La, can I put a glaze on you?
26:02Yeah.
26:03Before I became a college dropout, I was 24 credit hours away from having a BFA in painting
26:10and photography.
26:11I got it, Precious.
26:12I'm not going to use that one because I may need it for pictures.
26:14So I have a very strong artistic background.
26:17I'm coming.
26:17Take advantage of the stormy feeling.
26:19Yes.
26:20And truly, that is how Canvas was inspired.
26:24Lays it up.
26:25Lays it on up.
26:26Lays it on up.
26:27Oh, that, that, that, that, that, hey.
26:32This is fire.
26:33Beautiful.
26:34It looks good.
26:37Nice.
26:37It looks real good.
26:38That's it right there.
26:39That's it.
26:40Yeah, yeah.
26:40There we go.
27:00So when you're doing smiling pictures, you want to laugh and make some sort of noise because
27:05it makes it look way more real.
27:06I have been in business for seven, eight years now.
27:10That's good.
27:11There we go.
27:12Okay, dimples.
27:13Yes, dimples.
27:15What's with the dimples?
27:16All right.
27:16We have helped kids get into commercials, movies, television, print.
27:21We do it all.
27:21I want to see him do something like he's mad.
27:23Can you act like you're like really mad at your sister?
27:25Yeah, give me one of these.
27:26Oh.
27:30High five.
27:31You did a great job.
27:32Have you done this before?
27:33You're awesome.
27:34Y'all did a great job.
27:36Hi.
27:37Good job.
27:37It's not a funny thing.
27:38What is this?
27:42Oh, my gosh.
27:43You're so sweet.
27:46Here, Camilla, sit down for a second.
27:48Jason is in marketing.
27:50He lives in Dallas, so we're long distance.
27:52Typically, when he comes to town, he stays at a hotel, and we just hang out for the weekend.
27:57Me and Jason have a little bit of an age difference, too, but let me tell you something.
28:00I'm grown now, okay?
28:01I'm grown.
28:02I truly don't think I could date someone my age because I've been through so much.
28:06Like, I've been married for 18 years.
28:07There's nobody that you can tell me is 35 and been married for 18 years.
28:10With that being said, Jason is 17 years older than me.
28:15So, I've been thinking about talking to the kids.
28:21You said the flowers down.
28:22He's getting serious.
28:23Yeah.
28:24I mean, I know the reason why we really haven't told them that we're anything more than friends
28:30is because things were kind of just finalized.
28:33But I know it has to happen at some point, and I don't know what my apprehension is.
28:40I just, they don't know the timeline.
28:42Jason and I are coming up on a year.
28:45Marriages, typically, from what I have found, are over well before it's final on paper.
28:52I'm not trying to replace nobody.
28:54Yeah.
28:54Just be a bonus support system to edify what you're teaching them and edify everything their
28:59dad is teaching them.
29:00You know, the littles.
29:02I think it would be all right, man.
29:03They're easygoing.
29:04I think it's more so the older ones, you know.
29:06I have four kids.
29:08I do think it's important that they know about Jason, but I just want the timing to be right.
29:14One thing that's always been really important to me is that they still respect their dad.
29:17You know, like they, that's their father.
29:19And I've never said anything negative about him to them.
29:22Never.
29:23Like, that's the only thing I can say.
29:26So it was just, it was not a good feeling to not be trusted.
29:30I was tired.
29:31I was tired of having to explain myself.
29:32I was tired of, you know, feeling like I was doing something wrong when I really wasn't.
29:37It's just been hard.
29:39Like, co-parenting is a little ghetto.
29:40I'm not going to lie.
29:41I truly, truly couldn't have done this without you.
29:44And just learning how to set the boundaries.
29:47I'm such a crybaby.
29:49Learning how to set boundaries and, like, stick to them, that's been really helpful.
29:52That's been really helpful to, like, just figure out who I am.
29:57Don't work in your favor.
29:58Most women don't even make it out.
30:00That's what I admire about you is just the strength to keep going.
30:04We got this.
30:06Coming up, the Camden Creative Camp is just to get all of our creative minds in the same
30:12building on the same frequency.
30:14We family.
30:15I kind of lost a little bit of respect for you.
30:30I'm so excited.
30:33Hello, hello.
30:33I want to watch.
30:35Hey, y'all.
30:36Can we come?
30:37We're about to get it up.
30:38With the photo shoot with Lila Anthony, we're literally just getting started.
30:41Okay, y'all.
30:42So, we've been in Birmingham for a few days now.
30:46Getting our content.
30:47Y'all know this is the Canvas Creative Boot Camp.
30:50The goal and the objective have been to get 500 to 1,000 pieces of content.
30:54This is going to be considered our mid-week critique.
30:58We have so much more work to do now.
31:00We have to scrub the footage, break it down into short-form content, edit the images.
31:04But it's also the perfect time to get all of our creative minds on the same frequency for this live.
31:11It's a lot that's on our plate right now.
31:13I can't wait to see some of, like, the work that y'all done.
31:16Were y'all able to put together what y'all thought was, like, the best and worst of the week?
31:20I mean, everything has been great so far, but I think me and Faith almost bump heads a little bit.
31:30We decided to go on the road to, you know, get an interview.
31:33So, I decided to go to Publix.
31:35Now, Faith came to my block.
31:37And she literally started taking all my customers.
31:41It's not like drug lords fighting over blocks.
31:44It's not our clients, it's King's clients.
31:46We have 500 videos to get done, right?
31:49If I'm targeting a customer or trying to get one interview,
31:53there's no way that you're supposed to come to the same customer
31:56when we have 400 different customers walking in Publix.
31:59Was there, like, a hijacking of a park?
32:02We're at a busy intersection.
32:04Faith could have easily went across the intersection and targeted different people.
32:08Faith, we have the video right here.
32:12Look, look.
32:14Here I have my customer smelling the product.
32:17Look, you have your customer right here.
32:20Look what Faith does.
32:21Um, I think what she is.
32:23You keep your skin moisturized.
32:26She goes in her bag and she's my customer's face.
32:30You can't do that.
32:32I don't think this is funny.
32:33I'm hoping that I can be able to help them hear each other's sides and diffuse this situation.
32:40Because the last thing that we need is for a creative camp to go south because the live is so
32:46close.
32:47My issue with you right now is you waiting until she says something.
32:50Well, Delano, you could have said something to me first.
32:53But I'm going to keep it 100.
32:54Sometimes you need to hear in front of people.
32:56Sometimes you need to hear from other people.
32:58Well, that answers my question.
32:59He wasn't an audience.
33:00So what are we going to talk about now?
33:01It doesn't give audience.
33:02I don't need an audience because I have a platform.
33:05I don't think Delano was wanting an audience.
33:08I feel like Delano more so was answering the question that I posed.
33:12Yes.
33:12If I offended you, I sincerely apologize.
33:16That could have been said to me before we got back.
33:19I'm going to tell you how I feel.
33:20I kind of lost a little respect for you because I watched you the whole weekend.
33:24And this is just me being real.
33:26Faith, what's wrong?
33:28What's wrong?
33:30What is it?
33:31For Delano to say that.
33:33That's not fair.
33:34But you can't cry.
33:35That's not fair.
33:36I'm contagious to crying.
33:37I can't be faking it and tell you, oh, yes, it's fine.
33:40I'm being a hypocrite behind your back.
33:42I can't do that.
33:43I'm going to tell you how I genuinely feel.
33:45And we have to move on.
33:47I just want people to be able to express themselves in group settings.
33:52And critiques are a part of that.
33:55We don't always like what the next person got to say.
33:58But it's not always an attack.
34:01My role in this space is to allow everybody the opportunity to be heard, to be felt,
34:07and to make sure we keep this situation with a lid on it.
34:13Out of all the critiques I've ever sat in, I was able to find something that helped me be better.
34:19And that's what I want midweek critique to be.
34:23I don't need no discord, especially when we're so close to doing something record-breaking,
34:30like having a 48-hour live stream.
34:33We family.
34:34We're going to get bigger.
34:35And we're going to have to lead teams under us.
34:38Damn.
34:51Oh, that's so good.
34:53I know.
34:53That's so good.
34:56Hey!
34:59Couples night is for couples that's choosing to choose each other daily.
35:04What's up, baby?
35:05I like that couple.
35:06Yeah, we're going to have a good time tonight.
35:07I'm so excited.
35:11Yeah!
35:13Hey, every year, every year!
35:15She's going to be the host tonight.
35:17Well, she's going to help us host.
35:19Hey!
35:20Hi!
35:21Oh, you look cute, baby.
35:22You still in Nigeria.
35:24I love it.
35:25When it comes to my attire, honey, I love this outfit so much.
35:29I had to wear it again.
35:31I legit may wear it everywhere.
35:33So you hosting with me?
35:35Yes!
35:35Okay, you know this is like an actual job.
35:38We're taking pictures, picking up trash.
35:41That's the part of hosting, Stone.
35:42I mean, I know you come in here, you're royalty.
35:44Maybe it's royalty.
35:45You look like royalty.
35:46You smell like royalty.
35:47I'm here with you, baby.
35:48Uh-huh.
35:49Trash.
35:50We signed up for this.
35:51Mm-hmm.
35:52Mm-hmm.
35:52I know I signed that I was going to be working the door.
35:57I can be at the door.
35:58You're going to work the door with me?
36:00You're going to be at the door?
36:01I don't think nobody understand what working the door actually means.
36:04And I don't understand why people think hosts are supposed to clean up.
36:06I thought you're supposed to have somebody else do that s***.
36:09All right, y'all come on and form our circle.
36:12Then, Father, we thank you for this fellowship.
36:14We're beautiful couples.
36:16We're praying that we show that marriage is a good thing.
36:18It's in Jesus' name we pray.
36:20Amen.
36:20Amen.
36:21Amen.
36:22Woo!
36:24I didn't see you coming here, girl.
36:26Hi.
36:26Hi, baby.
36:28Girl.
36:28Let me see your shirt.
36:29Let me see your shirt.
36:30It's your brand, though, right?
36:31Mm-hmm.
36:32I like it.
36:33I like the concept.
36:34Hey!
36:35Hey, baby!
36:35How you doing?
36:37Now, why you didn't bring Chris?
36:38He didn't want to come.
36:41Okay, shit.
36:42I'm so mad.
36:44I'm so mad.
36:44Well, he didn't have a long day at work, so he was tired.
36:47Yeah.
36:47Gosh.
36:48I'm mad at you because you didn't bring Chris.
36:50Don't be mad at me, baby.
36:51I can't control him.
36:52All right, y'all.
36:53This event is for couples, married couples, not married couples without their spouse.
36:59All right, everybody.
37:00Ready to get tic-tac-toe started.
37:02We're going to have eyes on you.
37:03No cheating.
37:03Wait, what's the...
37:04We over there?
37:05Huh, no.
37:06No, we right here.
37:06We right here.
37:07We right here.
37:08You cannot run before your partner gets back.
37:12Come on, come on.
37:13All right, who next?
37:14Let's go.
37:15You and your wife.
37:16Let's go.
37:16Hey!
37:20Look, I told you.
37:21I love this so much, I'm never coming out.
37:23No, you look gorgeous.
37:24I feel royal.
37:26Woo!
37:27Oh, my God!
37:29Woo!
37:30Woo!
37:32Where's the hostess?
37:33That way.
37:33I know.
37:35Hi, foamy.
37:35How you doing?
37:36You look cute.
37:37I need the t-shirts for my husband.
37:39When he gets back, I'm just here by myself.
37:44Okay.
37:46Okay, cool.
37:47All right, so we're going to have four couples at a time.
37:49Who means I'm going to be a couple?
37:51That's okay?
37:51Okay.
37:52Okay.
37:53The guys are going to hold the bottles between their legs.
37:56Okay.
37:57Ladies, you're going to have the straw in your mouth.
37:59There you go.
38:00There you go.
38:01Are you in now?
38:02That's him.
38:05All right.
38:05You need to be over here.
38:06The gist of the game.
38:07All right.
38:08All right.
38:08Let's go.
38:09It's very weird.
38:10But, you know, that's just a business.
38:12They ain't got nothing to do with me.
38:13Are you ready?
38:14There you go.
38:14All right.
38:14On your mark.
38:16Be safe.
38:16Uh-uh.
38:17Go.
38:20Come on.
38:21Come on.
38:22Come on.
38:22Come on.
38:22Come on.
38:23No.
38:23Up.
38:23Up.
38:24Right there.
38:24Go in.
38:25Yeah.
38:28They might as well have been having an orgy.
38:48She's lucky.
38:49I didn't tell her.
38:50I'm.
39:06I got so much stuff we still need to do.
39:12Oh, my God.
39:13It's so much I can't even think of.
39:14You did all of this?
39:17This is crazy.
39:19How long?
39:19What are you doing?
39:21This is up.
