00:00Joking with the mop coming with Stormi.
00:02I'm pretty sure that probably offended her.
00:03And I think it's important when someone is offended,
00:06pull our sister to the side.
00:08Because I don't know if I'm offending you
00:09if you're not telling me.
00:10Do you feel like you did anything offensive?
00:12I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
00:13How did I offend you?
00:14So what does Tanetta say?
00:15I want to come to you and ask you, are you offended?
00:18What did she say?
00:18Well, what did you say?
00:19What did she say?
00:49Do you think you did something offensive at game night?
00:52So it's not so much do I think I did anything.
00:55It's me coming to you asking, how did I offend you?
00:58So what did Tanetta say?
01:00I want to come to you and ask you, are you offended?
01:03What did she say?
01:03Well, what did you say?
01:04What did she say?
01:05Stormi.
01:06Tiffany, I see right through you.
01:07What do you see?
01:08I see right through you.
01:09She just asked you.
01:10I'm not talking to you though.
01:11I'm talking to her and it's OK.
01:13And it's OK.
01:13Let your friend have it.
01:14I'm not offended.
01:15No one's getting offensive with her right now.
01:17You don't, it don't, it's not necessary.
01:18Your face pretty, you're cute.
01:19Now what'd you say?
01:21Stormi.
01:22I just don't feel like this is the way.
01:24I feel like some conversation have already been had,
01:27that I'm not privy to.
01:29I feel like her sidekick is on one.
01:32And I don't know what the they got going on.
01:34I'm blindsided.
01:35I'm the one offended.
01:36This is crazy.
01:37Tell me what you was offended by.
01:38What did Tanetta say?
01:40The mop.
01:41You can't bring up what somebody said and I want to speak on it.
01:44So it was about, what was it, what was it?
01:46I'm going to tell her.
01:47So she told Fran Chanel, she said it was about a mop.
01:49What happened?
01:49Obviously you were offended by it because now
01:51Tanetta told me about the mop.
01:52And now you're telling me about a mop.
01:54And then I'm coming to you.
01:55What happened with the mop?
01:56She, I don't know.
01:57She said, Tanetta said that she was offended.
01:59What happened with the mop?
02:00Do you remember?
02:01Yeah, I told you Al Forgo mop.
02:04Why would you tell somebody that if you don't know?
02:06Why not?
02:07Why would you play with me like that?
02:08Do you know me like that?
02:09I think it's important to choose to forgive.
02:12And I don't believe that she's choosing to let go the offense.
02:16It was a joke, Stormi.
02:18Find your funny bone.
02:19Do you know the racial implications of a mop though?
02:21Give me one second.
02:23Now Tiffany is the main one to say that there's a time
02:26and a place to have certain conversations.
02:27And I know we're not standing right here in front of the
02:29civil rights museum talking about this.
02:33I think maybe if you understand why the mop was such like a crazy
02:36thing to say, I think maybe there'll be like a starting point.
02:42Chanel, calm down.
02:43It's not that deep.
02:44We're all women.
02:46We're all black.
02:48We can all mop.
02:49She thinks serving funny.
02:51So it's neither here nor there.
02:52I don't think that serving is funny.
02:54I think serving is important.
02:55You thought it was funny.
02:56That's the difference.
02:57I thought it was funny at that time.
02:59Why?
02:59We've already talked about that story.
03:00Why did you think that was funny?
03:03Friend, look.
03:04She said she was offended.
03:06Even if you weren't trying to be offensive, acknowledge that she was offended.
03:09Okay.
03:10I'm going to say she was offended.
03:11Do you care?
03:12I was offended.
03:13Do you care?
03:13Yeah, I care that I offended you, but I want you to understand that I was making...
03:17It's not funny.
03:17I was a joke.
03:18It wasn't funny to me.
03:18Okay, and now that I know that it's not funny, it's not funny to you.
03:21But at the end of the day, it was still funny to me, and that's okay.
03:23Also, it's still funny.
03:24It's still funny.
03:25That's a backhanded apology.
03:27Why you have so much energy?
03:28It makes no sense.
03:29No, this is me.
03:31Go pray.
03:31No, this is me.
03:32I need to pray for you.
03:33I'm breathing, baby.
03:34I'm breathing.
03:35Pray.
03:35You don't need to pray for me.
03:37So moving forward, when you are offended, come to me.
03:40Don't offend me.
03:41You can choose the stupid.
03:42Don't do that stupid.
03:43Don't do that stupid.
03:44Don't tell somebody that you don't know the mom before.
03:47If you are not woman enough, if you can't accept the apology, Dinesh, you being immature.
03:52That's your opinion.
03:53We don't have to talk about this anymore, Tiki.
03:54I see what the real issue is.
03:57Darkness don't like light.
03:59I see the real issue.
04:00We're the dark?
04:00Y'all be blessed.
04:01Are we the dark?
04:02Have a great day.
04:03Bye, girl.
04:03Are we the dark?
04:04All right.
04:04See ya.
04:05My dark.
04:07I know this bitch crazy now.
04:09I thought it before, and now I know.
04:12She can go on that way, and I'm gonna go this way, and I ain't got time for it.
04:15I love a woman that's direct, and I love a woman that holds herself accountable.
04:21And Stormi, you have not displayed neither one of them.
04:25Why did you start all this ?
04:28And you know what, friend?
04:30I feel sorry for her.
04:32I feel my heart goes out to her.
04:34Hmm.
04:35Because how can you say that you're above the program to serve?
04:39That's a blessing to be able to serve.
04:42I pray, God, that you see and expose everyone's heart.
04:45Oh.
04:46And it's those who judge.
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:48It's those who try to make something what it's not.
04:50It's those who find service funny that need to be studied.
04:55Yeah.
04:55Ain't nothing wrong with serving.
04:57I'm telling you.
04:58You above the program.
04:59Jesus himself served.
05:01Jesus served.
05:01He served.
05:02He washed their feet.
05:04And we gonna walk how we need to walk.
05:06And we gonna do it in grace.
05:07Yeah.
05:08And for you, we are forever.
05:09Forever.
05:10Amen.
05:10Amen.
05:11Hallelujah.
05:12Yes.
05:13Bitch, are we dark?
05:14I mean, we got no black.
05:15Did she say that we're dark?
05:16I get to know what she was talking about.
05:28Chess!
05:29I'm coming.
05:30All right.
05:31You ready to eat?
05:31Mm-hmm.
05:32After we eat, we're gonna play a cool game because mommy has to tell you something, okay?
05:37Okay.
05:37I love being Chess's mom.
05:39Like, I really never thought I could be a mom.
05:41So, to actually be able to be one and he be my kid, like, I feel so blessed.
05:47I'm doing my hug.
05:49Oh, my baby.
05:50I love you too.
05:52Yummy.
05:53You ready to know the secret?
05:54Mm-hmm.
05:55You know granny?
05:56Mm-hmm.
05:57Granny house?
05:58Guess what we're doing?
06:00What?
06:00We're getting her a new house built.
06:02I'm excited to let Chess know that we're doing something that's really tied to legacy
06:07and that's building my mom a home.
06:09I want us to do a time capsule.
06:12You know what that is?
06:12That's a big word.
06:13We didn't put stuff in it.
06:15And what's it for?
06:18Um...
06:18Look at me.
06:20Let me see.
06:20Underground.
06:21What kind of stuff are we gonna put in yours?
06:24Uh...
06:25One thing I'm gonna do.
06:27Body glaze.
06:28Body glaze?
06:29Body glaze?
06:30You know what body glaze in there?
06:31Yep.
06:32What else?
06:33Okay, we gotta do it.
06:33We gotta make it a game then.
06:35You know what a scavenger hunt is?
06:38How do you know what a time capsule is?
06:39Don't know what scavenger hunt is.
06:42Okay, a scavenger hunt is we go find all the items that we talk about around the house
06:46and we gotta do it really, really fast, okay?
06:48That's easy.
06:49I just go to run around there.
06:50I like to make every moment with chest feel special because bringing chest into the world
06:56was not the easiest thing.
06:57I learned early on that I had endometriosis.
06:59I ended up having to do IVF.
07:03Got you.
07:04I'm proud of you, baby.
07:06Got you.
07:08I did have a tough pregnancy.
07:09It's not fun, but it's normal.
07:11Oh!
07:14I hemorrhaged and ended up losing a lot of blood.
07:20It was all worth it, though, because my little perfect human is here.
07:25These are important items because we gotta-
07:27Okay!
07:27All right, let's go.
07:28You go get your three.
07:31Hold on.
07:31I'm coming with you.
07:33Come on, Mom.
07:34Oh!
07:35Hey, Trey.
07:35Let's go.
07:36Come on, Trey.
07:38Okay, I already go.
07:40Now.
07:40Come on, Mom.
07:41Okay.
07:42All right, you gotta run, run, run.
07:44I feel like I'm a different type of parent than the one I grew up with.
07:49Now, time to get some toys!
07:51Okay, toys.
07:52Hold on, let me get a basket.
07:53It's important for me to be more patient, be more understanding, and be more kind.
08:00And when you show them the best, that's what they resonate with.
08:04I want Chess to only have the best.
08:06You chose this one.
08:08Come on.
08:10Yes!
08:11Now.
08:11These gotta be good toys.
08:12These toys gotta mean a lot to you.
08:14Oh, like this one!
08:15Okay, that's a good one.
08:16That's from your birthday party.
08:17One more toy?
08:18One more toy.
08:20Hmm.
08:21I don't know.
08:23Dice!
08:23Dice?
08:24Dice?
08:24You play dice every day.
08:25There's some good three, Chess.
08:27Yeah.
08:27And that's gonna go on your time capsule.
08:29Where are we gonna bury this at?
08:31Oh, I know!
08:32I told you.
08:33Hmm.
08:34At Granny's...
08:35House!
08:36New house!
08:38And then one day when you're older, guess what?
08:40What?
08:40You can take your kids to Granny's house, and you can dig up your time capsule.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:46Love you.
08:50Coming up, this is crazy.
08:52They've been on it.
08:53Wow.
08:54How you feel?
08:55Can't even express it.
08:56How you feel there?
08:58I love it.
08:59I'm excited for Sonella Gallentine.
09:01I really don't want you to go without me, especially since you gotta see Kayla.
09:03It's gonna be my time to check her ass.
09:05You know me.
09:06I go directly to the horse ass.
09:09Are you okay, though?
09:12Okay.
09:13I'm always ready.
09:14I'm ready for some liquor.
09:22I'm sick.
09:23I feel horrible.
09:25I'm just so confused.
09:26How can something go wrong in my air freezing journey?
09:29I'm thinking I'm gonna be the one, and we're in, and we're out.
09:31But it's just not happening how I planned.
09:33It really has me questioning should I have done this in the first place.
09:36You know, I took the first shot Saturday, and I threw up Sunday.
09:40Uh-huh.
09:41And then, you know, Monday I had my appointment, and they said that my levels was not high enough,
09:45and they wanted me to take a higher dose.
09:47When I woke up yesterday, it felt like my stomach was coming out of my body.
09:51It was hurting so bad.
09:52Like you took the last day?
09:54Kinda.
09:55But it's like a cramp that I've never felt before, on top of vomiting at the same time.
10:00The doctor said that I need to rest.
10:02Yeah.
10:03If the levels don't calm down, then the cycle's gonna be a waste.
10:07And I'll have to do it all over again.
10:08Do it over again.
10:09Yeah, and it's gonna cost that much more money.
10:11Again?
10:12So you'll have to pay double.
10:14Mm-hmm.
10:14Girl, at that point, you get somebody to do it.
10:17Yeah.
10:18It hurts a lot to see my aunt going through this in this type of pain.
10:23But I know that she's doing this just trying to make a smart move for the future,
10:28so that way, whenever she does find a husband, that she is ready.
10:32Because, you know, she's getting up there.
10:35And just rest, really.
10:36I just hope it's worth it.
10:37Because this has been a lot.
10:39You know Valentine's Day coming up?
10:41What you gonna do for Valentine's Day?
10:42Christiane's, what you doing?
10:44I'm excited for Sonetta's Galentine's.
10:46Well, where you looking?
10:47I hope you make it.
10:48I don't know. I'm gonna go.
10:48Yeah.
10:50Sonetta's Galentine's is coming up, and I'm so excited because Sonetta throws the best party.
10:54You want me to go?
10:54No, I want you to go, but I mean, I'm just saying I feel like...
10:57I want to go support her, you know?
10:59Emotionally, I'm just all over the place.
11:01And I've heard that the situation with Tiffany and Stormy did not go as expected.
11:05It may have even gotten worse, and I don't like being in the middle.
11:08And I just do not want to hear anything else about any of it.
11:11I want to focus on Amber.
11:12So I really want to go, but I don't know if I'm gonna feel up to it.
11:15But I really don't want you to go without me, especially since you got to see Kayla.
11:18It's gonna be my time to check her ass.
11:21You sure you want to do that, Sonetta?
11:22Mm-hmm.
11:24I'm not gonna be crazy, but you know me, when I see...
11:27If I got an issue, it's on site.
11:29And unfortunately, that's just the next on site.
11:31Oh, my God.
11:33I am just so freaking concerned about what that little crash shot would do.
11:40She's so unpredictable.
11:41I'm scared for Kayla myself.
11:42I'm not even gonna lie.
11:43But right now, she gonna get a little bitty dog.
11:45She ain't gonna get no bulldog.
11:46She gonna get a canine.
11:47Baby, somebody's about to get her dressed, because you know me.
11:51I go directly to the horse ass.
11:54Lord help her.
11:56Amber!
11:58I think I just heard Candace.
12:00Ooh, my stomach hurting so bad.
12:02And this is my best friend.
12:03I've been knowing her since college.
12:05She was my line sister, and we've been yin and yanging since 2012.
12:08Here we come.
12:10She's a respiratory therapist, and she deals with needles every single day.
12:14So, she's coming here.
12:15She's helped me.
12:16She's giving me the shots, but mainly for more support.
12:18I'm just gonna feel good.
12:20My hormones all over the place.
12:22Well, it's gonna be all right.
12:25Hopefully, you start feeling a little better.
12:27So, what days is this end?
12:29It's ten days total.
12:31Ten days.
12:31Ten days of injecting yourself.
12:33Jesus, help me God.
12:35All right now, bae.
12:35You sure you don't want to do it just the regular way, Amber?
12:40Tyler, you gonna do all that, bae?
12:41Please go to your room.
12:42I'm just saying.
12:43She gonna do it the, you know, the regular way.
12:45She gonna try.
12:46She gonna try it.
12:49Hey, Kylan.
12:50Please.
12:51Please go to your room.
12:52Okay, you ready?
12:53No shots.
12:54No egg retrieval for me.
12:55My auntie always tell me to learn from her mistakes.
12:58And baby, I am learning.
13:00One, two, three.
13:03Oh.
13:03Not good.
13:05I'm coming out of art.
13:08I'm trying not to curl.
13:10Don't remember.
13:11Don't cry.
13:13I'm just emotionally overwhelmed.
13:16I'm not feeling good.
13:17And these hormones have me all over the place.
13:19It's turning out to be a lot more difficult than I thought.
13:24I think that thing is gonna be this hard.
13:28We just got a few more days.
13:30Things gonna be okay.
13:33Gucci, you don't have to worry.
13:34I'm okay.
13:37Coming up.
13:38So how did y'all like the Birmingham Silver Arts Institute?
13:41It didn't go as I planned.
13:42So was it bad?
13:43Like, what happened?
13:44I don't wanna talk about it with the other bills.
13:46What is this about a mop?
13:48Girl, you know about this mop.
14:10Hey.
14:11You look cute.
14:12How are you?
14:15Why you got on sunglasses?
14:16Oh, girl.
14:17I always forget to take them off.
14:19Girl, I already know what I'm getting off.
14:20I'm so hungry.
14:20What'd you get?
14:21Shrimp and grits.
14:23How are you feeling?
14:23The conversation went yesterday.
14:25Are you okay?
14:26It was kind of crazy.
14:28I wasn't expecting it to go like that.
14:30I thought it was gonna be more of a mature conversation.
14:32Me too.
14:33I did my part.
14:34Girl, I'm leaving it right there.
14:36We're gonna leave it right there.
14:37Mm-hmm.
14:37You're gonna leave it right there.
14:38I invited Kayla, the model maker.
14:41Okay, yeah.
14:42I went boxing the other day.
14:43She was just telling me how she's been in a relationship for 18 years and she don't have friends and
14:49she was like in this bubble.
14:52I literally like have never clubbed or had friends or...
14:56You never went out really?
14:58No, not for real.
14:59For real?
15:00But my heart went out to her.
15:01So I was like, let me get to know you.
15:04Mm-hmm.
15:05Hey, Kayla.
15:06I am a little surprised that Tiffany has invited me to lunch just because I really don't know her that
15:09well.
15:10Are you excited for some girl time and some time away from your kids at least?
15:15I'll say if she had canceled, I would have been okay with that.
15:18Woo!
15:19Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
15:20But you know, I'm here.
15:23So I wanted you to come to lunch because I remember you telling me at boxing like how you never
15:27got to experience like sisterhood, friendship.
15:30And you know, I was intrigued with this conversation.
15:32You were like, what do you mean?
15:33Like what do you mean?
15:34And it just made me think about me and my best friend relationship.
15:36Like we are like this.
15:37How long have y'all been friends?
15:38Like 18 years.
15:3918 years.
15:40Oh, wow.
15:41Yeah.
15:41Oh my goodness.
15:42That's a long time.
15:43You don't see that a lot.
15:44Like long-term friendships.
15:46Yeah, you know.
15:46That's pretty cool.
15:47I got married really young.
15:49And honestly, my marriage isolated me.
15:51That's the only way I can put it.
15:52Like I was isolated for a while.
15:55Are you okay?
15:56Because I've been through it.
15:57Like a divorce.
15:58So I know how tough it can be.
15:59Yeah.
16:00I wasn't okay for a while.
16:02How did you go through that?
16:03Especially with nobody or no friends.
16:04Like nobody there.
16:05I would love to say I got through it with prayer.
16:08And I did.
16:09But I also got through it with tequila.
16:11Sunglasses on night and day for an entire year.
16:14I was depressed for a while.
16:16I was carrying around this cup full of tequila almost at all times.
16:20It's something that I just kind of turned to to not feel.
16:25Problems go away when you drink, but they come back when you're sober.
16:29And it was a vicious cycle that I was going through.
16:32So I decided to stop while I could.
16:33And I still drink occasionally, but it's nothing like what I was doing at all.
16:37My mom passed.
16:38Yeah.
16:38In 2019.
16:40And I used to drink and I used to drink.
16:42And it would allow for me to escape from my problems.
16:46Mm-hmm.
16:46But then the closer I just, you know, got to God and the more I prayed and I realized
16:51that, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to face what's hurting me.
16:54Mm-hmm.
16:54I'm not going to drink.
16:56I'm not going to numb the situation or run from my problems.
16:59Mm-hmm.
16:59I feel like that's when true healing came for me.
17:03Absolutely.
17:03Yeah.
17:04I had to realize that as well.
17:05Like by the time I was 16, like I had been meeting people off the internet.
17:09Like I was searching.
17:10Wow.
17:11Like I was literally searching for a void only God fulfilled.
17:14I didn't know that back then.
17:15Mm-hmm.
17:15Like just for love.
17:16I didn't have my father because he died when I was 11.
17:19And then my mom was really not very affectionate.
17:21Hold on, go back.
17:21So you did not have your dad like in the like prime years?
17:24In my teen years.
17:25No, no, no.
17:26So that's why you were.
17:27That never would have happened.
17:28Yeah.
17:28I didn't have him then.
17:30Not sure I'm being my therapist.
17:31Are we?
17:31No.
17:32Or your daddy issues.
17:34No, no, no.
17:35This is just friends being friends.
17:37This is what sisterhood looks like.
17:38Yeah.
17:38So my heart goes out to Kayla right now.
17:41Maybe we have things in common.
17:44Lord, thank you for the food they're about to receive from us.
17:47And I'm about to Christ say amen.
17:48Amen.
17:49I need some sugar.
17:51Some sugar in your grits.
17:52Please no.
17:53You said no?
17:54No.
17:55These are already savory.
17:57Right.
17:57You're not about to actually do that.
18:00I'm sure.
18:02Yeah.
18:02I can't watch.
18:03Oh my goodness.
18:05I am flabbergasted with sugar and grits.
18:10No.
18:11Especially with shrimp and grits.
18:12Like my flabbers are gasted.
18:15So how did y'all like the Birmingham Silver Arts Institute?
18:21We didn't get inside.
18:22You didn't go.
18:23Yeah.
18:23We didn't make it inside.
18:25Did they close or something?
18:26No.
18:27Who all was there?
18:28Stormy.
18:30Chanel is her.
18:31Somebody works for her.
18:32I'm Chanel.
18:32Okay.
18:33Me and Tiffany.
18:34So was it bad?
18:35Like what happened?
18:37I'm just the type that I want people to be able to resolve it instead of talking about
18:43it.
18:44How do you resolve it like without talking about it?
18:47I don't want to talk about it with the other bills.
18:49I'd rather talk to her directly instead of having a conversation here.
18:52Is there a reason why you didn't just reach out to talk to her about it?
18:55No.
18:56What I said was yesterday I seen her.
18:59I apologized for offending her.
19:01Once I apologized for offending her, I still told her, hey, in that moment, I thought it
19:07was funny.
19:09And when I asked her-
19:11Wait, what was funny?
19:12The mop situation.
19:14What is this about a mop?
19:19You and Stormy are kind of close, right?
19:21Yeah.
19:24Kayla, you told me multiple times how close you and Stormy are.
19:29Girl, you know about this mop.
19:31Stop playing.
19:32I don't understand what happened.
19:34I'm still not clear on what went on.
19:36You know, I see where the conversation is going.
19:40Coming up, Tiffany was joking and she said mop the floor with her A.
19:47What is this about a mop?
19:50You know, I don't want to talk about it here.
19:53And the only reason I don't want to talk about it here is again, I'd rather talk to her directly.
19:58I just want y'all to be resolved.
19:59How are you going to resolve it if you're not reaching out to her?
20:02I see where the conversation is going.
20:06You asking me additional questions.
20:08Unfortunately, that's just not going to work.
20:10I'm being genuine.
20:11Like, I brought you out to eat because you said you didn't have school students.
20:14No, I understand.
20:14And we don't have to talk about it.
20:15I wanted us to have a relationship.
20:17I'm really confused.
20:17Funny, I didn't know what the mop situation was.
20:19Can you explain it to me?
20:20What happened?
20:26I'm just trying to understand how the mop has manifested again and why it's here at this
20:31lunch table and what's going on.
20:34Stop.
20:34You're not that Dixie.
20:36You know exactly what's going on.
20:38Stormi started saying, like, well, I feel that I was a great host.
20:41Yeah.
20:41And Tiffany, she was just like, you need the mop next.
20:44What?
20:45No, she didn't.
20:46Yeah.
20:46No, she didn't.
20:47She was like, yeah, clean up on aisle four and stuff.
20:51Stop pretending like you're confused.
20:53Own up to it and move forward.
20:55This conversation would not be had.
20:57What I'm hearing is it's contradictory.
21:00It's not making sense to me.
21:01Like, first you said that you didn't want to do it in front of the other Bells.
21:03Then you said that you tried to give her a safe space to talk.
21:05She doesn't want to talk about it.
21:06You keep cutting me off, though.
21:07Absolutely, because you're not making sense.
21:09No.
21:09There's been several things that were said that haven't made sense.
21:12And I'm trying to explain why I don't understand.
21:14You said that you didn't want to talk about it in front of Bells.
21:15You're, like, not being honest about what was said.
21:19How do you know?
21:20Were you there?
21:21I'm willing to talk to one of you at once.
21:23Kendra's coming to me a little aggressive.
21:25And I just, I don't know what's going on.
21:26I'm not here to fight with them.
21:28I just wanted some answers.
21:29But it doesn't look like I'm going to get them.
21:31And I don't do ganging up.
21:32Like, I'm just, that's not what I'm here for.
21:34So I'm going to eat my shrimp and grits, because it is delicious.
21:38I don't even know where to go.
21:40Home.
21:41I'm going to go home.
21:42You're going to go home?
21:43I don't need no new friends.
21:45She's going to eat a friend.
21:46Kendra.
21:47Can we get her to the box for real?
21:49Where's the bag?
21:50I don't have an issue.
21:52Okay.
21:53Here you go.
21:54Here you go.
22:05All right.
22:06All right.
22:08Nice trying to get to know you, Kayla.
22:12I know I'm not well versed with the girly outings, but this, it doesn't seem like this
22:18is the way they go.
22:19It definitely went left very quickly.
22:21I love you.
22:22I love you, Brenda.
22:23All right.
22:23Where's the bill?
22:26So, it might be my last.
22:30I'm going to take the chicks, and you have a great day.
22:33See you at Gallantide.
22:35See you there.
22:36Thank you for lunch.
22:37You're welcome.
22:39My intentions was pure.
22:41I really wanted to get to know you, girl.
22:43And now, you over here, making this thing about a mop.
22:47I gave you my heart, but now I'm starting to understand why.
22:53Why you don't have a group of friends.
23:00Hey, baby.
23:01Hey.
23:02I just got done having lunch with Kendra and Tiffany.
23:05That was a lot.
23:06What happened yesterday?
23:09It was just like they were being really cryptic about what happened.
23:11So, I'm thoroughly confused, but my shrimp and grits was delicious.
23:14Like, I don't know.
23:16She said, you didn't want to have an adult conversation.
23:19All you wanted to do was talk about was a mop.
23:21I wanted to know how you can resolve something without talking about it, because that's what
23:24she said she was trying to do.
23:25And then I wanted to know why she started the conversation in front of people, but she
23:29didn't want to have the conversation because it was in front of people.
23:32That's all I wanted to know.
23:32And here's, and the worst part about it is, the mop the floor comment, she literally
23:37even said, weren't you there the host?
23:39If you had to repeat the public.
23:39Girl, that team's already gone.
23:40Bye.
23:41Now I'm talking to Stormy.
23:42Oh, okay.
23:43Bye.
23:43There she goes.
23:47Girl, you were on a hidden agenda, and now you done got caught up.
23:51She's one of Stormy minions.
23:54But it is giving the main girls a bourbon pill, because what the ?
23:57Yeah, that was, that was, that was intense, for sure.
24:08You know what we're going to do?
24:10What?
24:10We're going to bury your time capsule.
24:15Woo!
24:16Yes.
24:17Now you can run.
24:18You can lead me, child.
24:19You've been trying to get here to them all day.
24:21Hey, buddy.
24:22Hey.
24:23Hey, can I have a hug?
24:24I'm so busy with work that I rarely get a chance to go home.
24:28And my parents always come down to Huntsville to see me.
24:31So it's a really good feeling going back home today.
24:35Mama, this is crazy.
24:38Wow.
24:38We came home last Monday, and they poured foundation.
24:42And from there to now, they've been on it.
24:46Wow.
24:47How you feel?
24:48Can't even express it.
24:50How you feel, Dad?
24:51I love it.
24:52So my parents have five acres of land.
24:55They're building their new house right behind the house that I grew up in.
24:59The home is about 3,300 square feet, and it costs about $400,000.
25:04Take me through here.
25:06Well, that's my house.
25:07That's true.
25:08OK, so when you first come in, that's the office.
25:11OK.
25:12And over here, that's going to be your dining room.
25:14And this is going to be your smallest bedroom here.
25:16My mom's.
25:17Yeah, your mom gets a smaller one.
25:19There you go.
25:20Now how you going to do me?
25:22I don't think I've ever seen them, like, so ecstatic.
25:25Like, for my mama just to be walking through, talking about what room here, what room there.
25:29Like, you can really tell that she cannot wait until she can, like, move her things into this house.
25:34Nice.
25:34We love it.
25:35I'm excited.
25:36We appreciate you.
25:38Oh, thank you.
25:38And if you don't know it, you should know it.
25:41We love you dearly, baby.
25:42Yes.
25:44What you think?
25:45I think it's nice.
25:46Whenever I think about it, I'm just grateful.
25:49Oh, man.
25:50Yeah.
25:51Come on, this way.
25:53Oh, I want to go in here.
25:55Is that not crazy?
25:56I started here, and now I'm in a 50,000 square foot warehouse?
25:59It is.
25:59Yeah, this is the humblest of beginnings.
26:01I was in here working my ass off.
26:03Yeah, you were.
26:04Yeah.
26:04I meant that .
26:05I did hair right here.
26:08My sink was there.
26:09My sink was over here.
26:10Even now, to be able to see where I came from, I still remember being so proud of that and
26:15so happy.
26:15It was more than enough.
26:17And I think that feeling is what got me to where I am now.
26:20Come on.
26:21Let's go bury a time castle.
26:23Watch out.
26:23Watch out.
26:24Let me dig it out first.
26:26Let me give you some of that, Daddy.
26:27I want some of that.
26:28Come on.
26:28I want some of that.
26:31Yeah, Dad, I remember being like, she used to wake me up every morning to come outside
26:35to work in the yard like I was a boy.
26:37Get up with me.
26:38I feel like I got my work ethic from you.
26:40With no sleeping in on the weekends, you gotta get up.
26:43That's everyday.
26:44That's not just on the weekend, everyday.
26:47So my Daddy, he grew up real rough from like having to make sandwiches out of mayonnaise.
26:52And he used to say like, I had a hard life, but it was great.
26:56And I just think that's the most beautiful thing in the world.
26:59Oh, boy.
27:00There it is.
27:03One day you gonna have kids.
27:04And you and your kids gonna come out here and you gonna show them what you did, okay?
27:08Y'all done had a little conflict since you last saw me at the party.
27:18About a mop, child.
27:19A mop?
27:21What about a mop?
27:37Yeah.
27:38What about a mop?
27:39One of the ladies that was at my party, I ended up going to her couple's night.
27:43Her name was Tiffany.
27:43They talking about, oh, you gotta host, you gotta clean, you gotta do this.
27:46And I'm like, and she was joking.
27:49And she said, yeah, you can mop the floor.
27:51Uh-huh.
27:51Mop the floor, Stormy.
27:52With her ass.
27:53Now I'm gonna mop the floor with her ass.
27:56See what I'm saying?
27:57Even my mama think I should've mopped the floor with Tiffany's ass.
28:00She kept saying, what's wrong with mopping?
28:02It's serving.
28:02It's serving.
28:03She was trying to make it seem like it's above me.
28:05And I was like, if there's nothing wrong with it, why you think it's funny?
28:09Right.
28:10I feel like she was with me.
28:11And even if she was being funny, she didn't apologize.
28:15Emma, you know how I am.
28:16I don't really deal with a lot of new people because I feel like I'm always having to look
28:19over my shoulder to see what somebody's intentions is with me.
28:22Ever since the pre-release party with Lala, this new group of women, I have been, you know,
28:27a little bit more out of my shell, doing stuff I never would do.
28:30Like, I'm trying.
28:32I plan on doing something real nice for the ladies.
28:34Me being the bigger person, I'm gonna invite her.
28:36As I told you, even when you look, do you.
28:40Staying in your truth.
28:41I did that.
28:42Some people may not like you, but hey, you ain't here for everybody to like.
28:46I wish you was there.
28:47No, I'm staying out of you and you look free and busy.
28:50You're gonna be all right, man.
28:51Yeah.
28:52You're gonna be all right.
28:53Yeah.
28:53Your mama made me cry when I was in there when you said you was proud of me.
28:56I am.
28:57I really am.
28:57Okay, if I'm being honest, I feel like when you say it sometimes, it'd be like surface,
29:02and I feel like you'll tell other people the depth, but not me.
29:06How you feel?
29:07I remember Faith had told me one time, she was like, yo, I just seen your mama.
29:09She was crying because she's so proud of you.
29:11I said, well, she don't do that with me.
29:13It's hard for me to express myself sometimes, you know?
29:16I always felt like exceptionally loved, but I feel like you gave tough love.
29:23Because I know this world's tough.
29:26And in order for the making, you gotta have tough skin.
29:29Your mom and dad ain't gonna have your hand all throughout life.
29:32And you gonna have to know how to handle yourself.
29:35For real.
29:36You still feel like you gotta be tough with me, though?
29:38I'm not tough with you anymore.
29:39Yes, you are.
29:41Okay.
29:42You see, you about to make me cry now, but I'm not gonna do it.
29:44I mean, because I always feel like your love comes from a tough place, but it's still...
29:48It's not a tough place.
29:49My love is...
29:50I want you to learn from it.
29:52Yeah.
29:52That's it.
29:53That's one thing I hate, though.
29:54Your papa can see you.
29:56Y'all do that.
29:56Do not do that.
30:03No.
30:04That was my favorite human in the world.
30:12Like, his love was unconditional.
30:15And I felt that.
30:17I'm sorry.
30:19He always told me, I can't wait for you to have a baby.
30:22I wanted a baby so bad because my papa saw that for me.
30:25And then I had chest.
30:30I had almost died giving birth, so I couldn't just go home and take my baby home to see
30:38my papa.
30:40And he passed three days before I was planning to go home.
30:47And he never met my son.
30:50And all he ever wanted from me was to have a baby.
30:54I got to the finish line.
30:56And I didn't get to cross it.
30:59I can't do it.
31:00He loved him before he was ever here.
31:02But he always said that he know you was going to be something.
31:05He know you was going to be naked.
31:07And he knew it.
31:10Just remember what he taught you.
31:11That's all you got to do.
31:15He was, like, one of my first sources of, like, feeling empowered.
31:23Oh.
31:24If my papa was here today and was able to see everything I've been able to do and accomplish,
31:30he'd be so proud of me.
31:33He was proud of me anyway, though.
31:36I didn't even have to do nothing.
31:37And he was going to be proud of me.
31:41Why he here?
31:43He here.
31:44He here.
31:45Yeah.
31:45He always going to be here.
32:04Hey, hey.
32:06It's gallon times.
32:07And I'm ready.
32:08One thing about Sonetta, she going to bring out the girls in Birmingham, Alabama.
32:12So I'm excited about having fun, seeing the bells, and listening to some good music as
32:18I dance the night away.
32:20Hey, hi, Mama.
32:22Hi.
32:24You got that right there.
32:25You got that right there.
32:26You got that right there.
32:26You got that right there.
32:27You got that right there.
32:28You look rippling.
32:29Girl, this is nice.
32:29This is beautiful.
32:31Girl, you're a team.
32:33Oh, did you hear me?
32:36Aw.
32:39Yes, ma'am.
32:40You're pretty now.
32:41You look good.
32:42Thank you so much.
32:43You know I had to come support you.
32:45Hey, baby.
32:52I am walking into Galentine's.
32:53This is a big event in the city, and it's something that a lot of people are going to
32:56be at.
32:57It's an opportunity to network.
32:59But I am definitely a little worried about this night.
33:02I know that Kylan is coming, and she's not too happy about my comment.
33:06I know that I haven't seen Tiffany since his lunch.
33:08I am 100% not wanting to walk in here, but I want to support Sonetta.
33:14So here I am.
33:15Kayla.
33:16Hey.
33:17Oh, my God.
33:17You're beautiful.
33:19It turned out amazing.
33:20So good to be here.
33:22After having that little luncheon with Kayla, I don't think I'm going to speak to her.
33:26And it's not me being petty, but it's me setting boundaries.
33:29So how you been?
33:31Today's been a day.
33:32Are you okay, though?
33:34You want to go talk, or you don't want to talk right now?
33:36Okay.
33:41I am struggling.
33:43I can't really talk about it to protect my kids, but it was really bad.
33:47And I know that I have to walk into this party and turn on.
33:50And it's really difficult to shift into party mode when I've been crying all day.
33:57I'm a boss.
33:58I'm a beast.
33:59I'm a hustler.
33:59I'm a G.
34:00Working 365.
34:02Grinding seven days.
34:03Oh, everybody!
34:05Hey!
34:06Everybody looks so cute!
34:08Hey!
34:09Oh, yeah!
34:10This is nice!
34:11Really nice.
34:12Let's go find Sonetta.
34:15Oh, my goodness!
34:16My Cindy!
34:17Look at my Cindy!
34:17Look at my Cindy!
34:18Look at my Cindy!
34:18Hey, how are you, girl?
34:22Are you ready?
34:22Yeah, always, buddy.
34:24I'm ready for some liquor.
34:25Can I have the, um, is it, is it the Comfort?
34:29Is that the name of it?
34:30Okay.
34:30Not bad.
34:31It's not good.
34:32It's not good.
34:34I love honesty.
34:35So when I came in, I seen Kayla.
34:37I didn't know Kayla was here.
34:38The bathroom is straight out this way.
34:40Let me take you.
34:40I mean, I ain't gonna be the dead horse, but I'm gonna address her.
34:44Okay.
34:44Well, she going out.
34:45Oh, there she is.
34:46Hold on.
34:47Hey, Kayla.
34:48Kayla.
34:48Hey.
34:49Can I holla at you for a minute?
34:50Yeah.
34:50Let's go out here.
34:51Let's go out here real quick.
34:57Hey, Kayla.
34:58Kayla.
34:58Hey.
34:59Can I holla at you for a minute?
35:00Yeah.
35:00Let's go out here.
35:01Let's go out here real quick.
35:04My character is not to beat you up while you already down.
35:08But however, you won't get out of it because you said it.
35:10You was bold enough to get behind them keyboards and go to tapping.
35:13So now, I gotta address you.
35:15I have already had a terrible night.
35:17I have embarrassed myself crying on every corner of this room.
35:20The very last thing I need is to be confronted.
35:24My body crying.
35:25I just, I had a terrible day.
35:27Yeah.
35:28I had a terrible day.
35:28Well, I know you know why I'm here.
35:31She got energy for days, honey.
35:33Yeah.
35:33I was like, what'd she take?
35:35Right.
35:35I want you to know, like, I did want to go ahead and address things because of the way that
35:40it made me feel.
35:40The reason I was so upset was because it brought me back to high school when girls would comment nasty
35:46things up under my picture.
35:47So I felt like I was being bullied.
35:49All the bells is my aunties.
35:50Yeah.
35:51Don't send it to your niece, girl.
35:52Tighten up.
35:53When I tell you I didn't mean anything about it, I really didn't.
35:55Yeah, no, and don't get me wrong.
35:56Like, I know, I know I'm alive.
35:58Like, I don't need nobody to think I got to pop some.
36:02Looking back, are you wrong for poking that comment?
36:09I don't know.
36:10I don't know.
36:11I feel like anything I say is incriminating.
36:13Are y'all talking?
36:14Y'all good?
36:15Everybody good?
36:15Yeah.
36:15Like I told you, I always want you to handle yourself maturely.
36:18I can see that y'all are related now.
36:20Duh.
36:20Okay, let me ask you something.
36:21I had no idea.
36:22Are you naturally densey?
36:25Maybe.
36:26Like, I really, people have been asking, like, is this your real person now?
36:28This is truly me.
36:29You should be clueless.
36:31Hug it out.
36:32I'm a hugger.
36:33Yeah.
36:35Do you want to go back in?
36:36Have a drink?
36:37I mean, I am, but I'm not staying alone because I can't stop running.
36:41Well, do you want a tissue?
36:42Because I brought a tissue.
36:43No, I'm good.
36:44No, no, no, use it.
36:45Use it.
36:45It got my face on.
36:46Oh, my gosh.
36:47You know what?
36:47I will take that.
36:48You just carry around tissues with your face on it?
36:50I carry around a lot of stuff with my face on it.
36:51I love this.
36:53I mean, I can tell that she loves herself.
36:55It's a super cute picture, though.
36:57Like, she's super cute.
37:01Hey!
37:02So we got kind of addressed the situation, so.
37:06Kayla, how you feel?
37:07I feel great.
37:08I feel what I said, but, like, I'm not the type of person to beat a dead horse.
37:11Well, I will say this.
37:12I did try with her the other day, and you don't know about that.
37:14So I took her out to eat, and we was bonding.
37:17It was amazing.
37:19So I thought.
37:19And so then she started asking me questions, but the questions was more like, so tell me
37:24about the mop situation.
37:25It seemed like Stormy sent her for a mission.
37:28Now, I'm not putting none of y'all into this, okay?
37:31Because I know y'all work for her.
37:32Yeah.
37:32But I'm just telling you why I think it's best for me to bag away.
37:36Well, I really hate y'all got all this going on.
37:38Two people I love is at odds, and especially with me going through the IVF stuff, I'm already emotional.
37:43I know.
37:44I'm trying not to cry.
37:45Don't cry here.
37:46Okay, look.
37:47Uh-uh.
37:48No.
37:48Don't cry here.
37:49Okay, look.
37:50I'm sorry.
37:51I really love my friends, and Stormy mean a lot to me.
37:54You mean a lot to me.
37:55And I just hope at some point y'all can work it out and just, you know, squash it.
37:59That's all.
38:00But we good.
38:00We hit a party.
38:01Let's party.
38:02Let's go party.
38:09I have made it through most of the night.
38:12I celebrated.
38:13I clapped.
38:14I cried probably 15 times.
38:17Now I'm ready to go home.
38:18There will be no dancing for me.
38:21Next, on Bell Collective Birmingham.
38:23Stormy just invited me to this Girls' Day Inn.
38:27Coming to some type of resolution would absolutely make my week.
38:31Yeah, this is going to be fire.
38:32Like me inviting Tiffany to my house today, it's truly like just a reset.
38:36We're going to see if we can bring the back around.
38:39I'm going in there with an open heart, an open mind.
38:42You laugh a lot about stuff.
38:43I do.
38:44That's unfortunate.
38:45It is.
38:46Laugh through is good for you.
38:47Okay.
38:48You want to go home?
38:51Now I'm laughing because you are the joke.
38:55Get the out.
38:56Get out.
38:56You doing too much.
38:57Now I'm a propping.
38:58Now I'm a b-word.
38:59Now I'm a b-word.
39:01So, I've seen her.
39:01Get her.
39:01She's got to go.
39:01Now I'm going to go.
39:01Now I'm a b-word.
39:03She's got to go.
