00:01Oh my goodness, look at that girl.
00:04I created K-Skin for everyone under the sun to have SPF that works for them.
00:12I'm doing an event with Vitear during Fashion Week for 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. Taylor Swift has this one.
00:26I think the event turned out great.
00:30How are you feeling?
00:32The next week I go to 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, Kate, back on.
01:01I will kick you fire.
01:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06Feels so good now.
01:09Breaking the mold and peeking out every door.
01:13Hold on, where's the party?
01:15Yay!
01:16It's here!
01:17Welcome to Miami!
01:18Welcome to Miami!

01:27I miss you so much.
01:27You look great.
01:29Mwah!
01:29What do you look dear?
01:30I'm making music.
01:32You look gorgeous.
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.
01:42You don't get so greasy on me.
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!
02:10Taliyah!
02:11Taliyah!
02:11Oh, my God.
02:13What would you like to be considered the queen of Latin pop?
02:16I don't know.
02:18Titles.
02:19I'm a singer.
02:20A songwriter.
02:21An actress.
02:24An entrepreneur.
02:25I have a fashion line.
02:27The Taliyah Saudi 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.
02:37I don't like to think about that.
02:39I just don't like to review the past.
02:41Although in social media, they post things and they tag me and I see myself in things like,
02:47When 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 a year and a half with the companies
03:00in there
03:01to launch the, you 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.
03:11Years.
03:11The Latin market.
03:12It's very important.
03:14And so we're going to go in this promotional trip and we're going to touch base with my brands in
03:21beauty, makeup, fashion, 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, not resting on your
03:43laurels and doing big things.
03:45Yeah.
03:45You 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.
04:03Totally.
04:08Hi.
04:14Hello.
04:16I'm a little wet.
04:17I love it.
04:17It's a great day.
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 at a castle, Babs.
04:28Oh, my God.
04:30Oh, hi.
04:32Hi.
04:32Nice to meet you.
04:34Have you not met Sebastian?
04:35No.
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.
04:42This is Sebastian.
04:43Yeah.
04:43It'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, and I said, oh, my God, Tommy, you have to book Winnie
04:53Harlow 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 with the Olsen twins when they went
05:03to Paris, and they were with the chef, and they went and, like, snuck and got McDonald's,
05:07and it was, like, luxe just like this, and 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, I might have to move in.
05:24Yes.
05:24Well, there's plenty of room.
05:26I can promise you.
05:27Plenty, plenty of room.
05:29Seb, Seb.
05:30I do see his room.
05:32Oh.
05:34My.
05:35Goodness.
05:36It's pretty great.
05:36I 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 when 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 and how it makes me unique
06:14and different.
06:16I love that.
06:17It'd be a very boring place if we were all the same.
06:19I love children.
06:21I've always known that I've 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.
06:31I 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.
06:42You know?
06:42Everything in due time.
06:43Do you have a place setting every time you eat?
06:45Um.
06:52Fabulous.
06:53Lux.
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.
07:04So I feel like for him, he feels more settled.
07:07And he's so handsome.
07:09He's so tall.
07:10And 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.
07:17But where is he originally from?
07:18He is from Michigan.
07:19So how long is this contract at 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.
07:33And I sold it because he wanted me to come and live with him.
07:36You sold it?
07:37I did.
07:38I did.
07:38I was really...
07:39That was your house house.
07:40Heartbroken, yeah.
07:41I understand.
07:42But Kyle did really want me to be with him.
07:44Because we always have to travel to see each other when we didn't live together.
07:48And now we get to wake up together.
07:51My boyfriend, Kyle, is a professional basketball player.
07:55He 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.
08:01And 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.
08:15New 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.
08:24Every 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?
08:34I did a master class, so people bought tickets to come and see me do my makeup with my SPF
08:41line.
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.
09:13That is shake-like.
09:14Very professional.
09:16I feel like you've done this before.
09:20Do you go to a lot of his games?
09:21So many.
09:23So many.
09:24Okay, 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.
09:41It 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.
10:04I know, I know.
10:15I know.
10:19I know, I know.
10:23I know.
10:27I know.
10:35I know.
10:38It is important that my brand becomes global and this promotion they've been like planning it for a year.
10:49And they're doing all of these events and 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 then I get stuck.
11:15I work with myself and emotionally.
11:20I just don't allow fear to get into my life and to control my head.
11:241, 4, 3, 2.
11:30Our new mascara that gives 4 times more volume in my collection, Thalia Zodi, obviously.
11:37To celebrate the big, I want you to give me a warm welcome.
11:42Well, you know who you are.
11:43Thalia Zodi!
11:47Thalia! Thalia! Thalia! Thalia!
11:51Thalia! Thalia! Thalia! Thalia!
11:54Welcome, it's a joy, really to be here.
11:58It's a joy to be with so many entrepreneurs in this collection
12:02This is the collection from Thalia Zodi!
12:06For Pride2's.
12:07On the way!
12:23Fashion is always being part of me as an artist, as a person, too.
12:28It's part of a way to express myself, my emotions, my feelings, my vulnerabilities, my strengths.
12:39As a living brand, you have to constantly create something fresh, new partnerships, new featureings, new collabs.
12:49If you stop, you stop.
12:51Yo, mi mirror, ven, suerte, que te quieren des de co-estelar de la show.
12:57A ver, saca la pata.
12:59Ay, esas también son.
13:00Mi santa, claro, aquí salió el roquero.
13:04Oh, sí, oye, con ese sacón, tanto tudo.
13:11Te amo, perdita.
13:14It's always emotional going home to Mexico.
13:17There are always a million memories that float back, like amazing memories, like crazy memories,
13:23and some that are very, very painful.
13:28What's up?
13:29Emotions.
13:31Emotions.
13:32Emotions.
13:32Lo más bonito de todo es que eres tan querida y es un orgullo para ti.
13:36Estoy muy emocionada de regresar a mi México.
13:42No.
13:44No.
13:46No.
13:47No.
14:01No.
14:02No.
14:04No.
14:06No.
14:08No.
14:10No.
14:11No.
14:12No.
14:13¿De acuerdo?
14:14TheMercele during COVID took care of my mind gave me strength again.
14:15You were just talking about the big book, like how it just overnight came to life, you
14:19know, how many five o'clock in the mornings – we've been on and then you walk in and
14:23it's 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 because I love her.
14:29And she's the one person who really understands this story, like, by just conversation.
14:36Really got the concept of how important this book is to me and why my words are important to me.
14:42Tell me why he decided to write a book now.
14:47When J.R. passed away and I came home on his desk in Greenwich, there was like a list of
14:52things,
14:52like almost like he made a hit list of 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, we're going to write two books, Lauren.
15:01One will be about how we built a community and the other one will be about how we found love.
15:06And 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 because 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, Scrambled 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, we take it for granted.
15:31After I finally read it when I came home from convention and I wrote you guys at like 4.30
15:37in the morning, 5.
15:38And I said, I just finished it for the 15th time and I love it and it's better than it's
15:43ever been.
15:43And then I cried and I laughed and that's what I wanted to do.
15:46There's not just a story of grieve.
15:48There's a love story.
15:49There's a business story.
15:50And there's lots of lessons in this story.
15:53And the lessons that I missed also that I didn't know about until after I lost J.R.
16:00One of the things that I think is different about this book than another memoir or another business book or
16:05whatnot, there are very few people that have lived your experience of 36 years in this business and like that
16:12relationship.
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 in Lauren Reitinger since we started this.
16:30And I truly believe that my story is a lot more than my story.
16:33I think it's a lot of, I think it's literally millions of people.
16:36Yeah.
16:37Yeah, absolutely.
16:38Like most people who experience grief, you 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, you know, my lover, you know, we liked each other.
16:49And I promised myself that as much pain as I was in, that I would spend my life helping people
16:56find a plan B if 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, and I've spent my life with J.R. helping people.
17:08And it took me a long time to remember that.
17:10We're almost done.
17:11Where, when do we, what is, where's the publisher at on things now?
17:15The publishers have the final manuscript, they're going through and making sure every period, every punctuation, no misspelled words.
17:22And then as soon as we hit lock, so we'll all get a copy of it, we get another chance
17:26to go through and say, oh, 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, it'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.
17:53Absolutely.
17:54Thanks, Mark.
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.
18:11You look fab.
18:12It's like Miami.
18:13Ugh.
18:14I 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, uh...
18:24He actually hurt himself.
18:25Oh, he did?
18:26Yeah.
18:27Oh, no.
18:27He pulled his, um, rib muscle.
18:30What?
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, uh, you sprained your ankle.
18:38So...
18:39It's like he got hit with a spiritual tool like four.
18:42Right?
18:42It's like, makes him.
18:44Kim Perel, my co-founder, has given me all the help and knowledge and her genius brain
18:52to help me put my brain work down to paper and out to the world.
18:57But we had that initial conversation about where I wanted K-Skin to be and 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 to what is big, fresh, and new
19:13in the beauty space.
19:14It 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, to pitch,
19:31to understand who you're talking to, to have the conversations.
19:35To travel.
19:35Go 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.
19:44People don't know what we go through in order to actually get to the one yet.
19:47And it's not all glamorous.
19:49Building my brand is sobering.
19:52And since I've moved to D.C., I travel so much more because anytime I have to work, I have
19:59to 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've got to get on flight because 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 and know I'm gonna pull up.
20:19Wait, wait, wait, wait.
20:19We're doing the push-in right now, yeah?
20:22Can't always say you're welcome.
20:23As a Caribbean?
20:24I always care.
20:25Pack it up.
20:26There you go.
20:26Pack it up.
20:27Pack it up.
20:27So then I come back to D.C. for a couple days.
20:33Oh!
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?
20:47You have to go for the things that speak to your spirit.
20:50I love it, 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.
21:22Like, that's what makes true success.
21:23Absolutely.
21:24So.
21:25Resilience.
21:25Yes, resilience.
21:26So we got this.
21:27Yeah.
21:28We got this.
21:28We got this.
21:29Yeah.
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 some.
21:42I got to love you.
21:43The book didn't come.
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, the textured 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.
22:10And 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.
22:18So 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,
22:38and thank you for doing this book forward for me
22:41because I love you and it's so meaningful to me.
22:44You know, you're the only person that could have done it,
22:47wrote it, and understood it.
22:48You know, you got me through the grief
22:50and you pushed me to counseling.
22:52And, of course, that was a revelation for me
22:54because it reminded me of how grateful I need to be for what I have.
22:59I don't know how to thank you enough.
23:01You don't have to thank me.
23:02The last thing JR posted was something of me
23:05and how proud he was of me.
23:06And so for Lauren to ask me to do the forward,
23:10I honestly, I felt honored, like,
23:12to really rely on our friendship
23:14and just say, like,
23:15I want you to write this special piece
23:17about the love of my life.
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,
23:24for the forward, for the message that you give to so many people
23:28and being such a champion,
23:29not 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
23:36or for JR and for Amber and just, like...
23:40I know.
23:40I just feel like he knows that you did it.
23:43He's watching us from above,
23:45and it just feels really right,
23:46and I'm really excited about the future.
23:50Be out there selling books with you.
23:52I know.
23:54Serena's got one of the biggest hearts in the world.
23:58Right when JR died,
23:59she wrote me, she called me every day.
24:03I love you so much.
24:05I'll call you later, okay?
24:06I miss you.
24:07Love you so much.
24:08Bye.
24:09Bye.
24:14This is our time.
24:28It is the last day of this promotional trip.
24:32It was an amazing experience.
24:34The fans, my fans are so passionate.
24:36It's always inspiring to me.
24:41The more you share who you are,
24:44people connect.
24:46People believe it.
24:47People become part of the experience
24:49of the evolution of your brand,
24:52of the evolution of your product,
24:54of the dream that,
24:55listen, I achieved that.
24:57I came from a very humble neighborhood.
25:00Every time I arrive,
25:02every time I see,
25:03every time I'm falling,
25:04every time I'm falling,
25:04every time I'm falling,
25:05I know.
25:06I know.
25:07I know.
25:08Every time I see Mexico,
25:10my country,
25:11I feel like...
25:11You feel like this.
25:13I feel like this is my life here.
25:14The heart is out of me.
25:15I know.
25:17Ay.
25:18And I know that for you,
25:19it's very important,
25:20because you have so many memories,
25:23so many moments you're dying.
25:24No, it's all my life.
25:25Imagine.
25:27All your life,
25:28your family,
25:29your mother,
25:30you,
25:31you.
25:31As a child,
25:32I was quiet and I was afraid.
25:34I felt lonely a lot.
25:36I was surrounded by people,
25:38but still felt like no one really saw me.
25:42In my mind,
25:43I was going to be a scientist like my father
25:45or in biology,
25:47but sometimes I just wanted to be the one
25:50inside of the TV,
25:53singing and entertaining and performing,
25:55and I never,
25:57ever thought it was going to become a reality.
26:01Vamos, vamos, hacer ya!
26:04But at the same time,
26:05fate could make you feel, like,
26:07isolated, like, lonely,
26:09like, I'm an outsider.
26:12Everything is happening,
26:14but I just,
26:15I'm observing.
26:16I think there's, like,
26:17old patterns that you learn
26:19from childhood,
26:21from your family.
26:22We have to eat enchiladas.
26:25We have to go to where I'm going.
26:28Here I bought your piñata.
26:31What was my mother?
26:32Here is a sweetener.
26:34Oh, to buy my children!
26:35We have to buy piñateria and they sell all of them.
26:38Me pidieron.
26:39Las paletas, payasos,
26:40lo que tú quieras.
26:41Okay, para mandar aquí a comprar?
26:43Aquí es, luego, luego,
26:44el circuito interior.
26:47Ah, esta es la piñatería que ha estado aquí toda la vida.
26:49Toda la vida.
26:51Looking back to that little girl,
26:53like that young Talia,
26:54my father died when I was six.
26:56When I was a teenager,
26:58my career gave me a new escape.
27:01It made me wear a mask
27:03when I didn't feel strong.
27:05But trauma is always there.
27:07You cannot erase it.
27:09You cannot hide it.
27:11Sometimes that little kid
27:12is the one that is in the corner
27:14inside of you
27:15saying, like,
27:16I can't, I'm so nervous,
27:18I want to hide.
27:19So I work with myself
27:21to survive all of this.
27:23Ay, mi, mi, mira dónde estoy.
27:25Estoy 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.
27:35No, no.
27:36This is the first time I'm back,
27:39like in 30 years.
27:4130 years.
27:42Like in 30 years.
27:44Or more.
27:46Sí, quedé el mal.
27:48O sea...
27:49Porque te fuiste y te fuiste a la colonia.
27:52Sí.
27:53It has been like 30 years
27:55since I've been to my childhood home.
27:58Not in the plan,
28:00but I want to go there.
28:01I just feel like
28:02it's a good chance
28:03to connect
28:04with what
28:05what my childhood was.
28:07Some of those memories
28:09is just painful.
28:10I think it's a way
28:11for me to heal that.
28:14¿Estás lista?
28:17Se te ve el cable, mi amor.
28:21No sé.
28:22No sé si yo pueda.
28:30¿Estás lista?
28:33Se te ve el cable, mi amor.
28:37No sé.
28:38No sé si yo pueda.
28:40Estoy tan emocionada.
28:42La vecindad.
28:43La vecindad.
28:44La vecindad.
28:44¿Qué te dije?
28:46Esta era.
28:47La vecindad.
28:48Peligrosa, mi amor.
28:50Ay, mi amor,
28:51qué bonitos momentos.
28:52Ay, que me estés acompañando.
28:55La vida es hoy, mi amor.
28:56Que estás, vos así.
28:57La vida es hoy, mi amor.
28:59That neighborhood
29:00was amazing.
29:01So for me to go back there
29:03brings back
29:04so many memories.
29:06Hola, vecinos!
29:08Walking by the hand
29:10of my mother
29:10on the way
29:11to the church
29:12or to the little store
29:14crossing the street
29:15was my school.
29:17¿Esta?
29:18¿Esta es?
29:19¡Aquí está mi casa!
29:20¿Y por qué puso perros
29:22tu papá?
29:23No sé,
29:25pero eran mucho más.
29:27Ay, mi amor,
29:28yo quiero llorar.
29:29Espérate.
29:32Espérate, Eva.
29:34Mi casa.
29:39Ay, mi amor,
29:41mi casa.
29:42Voy a tocar.
29:43Hello.
29:46¿Cuál crees que era
29:47mi cuarto?
29:49Así estabas de chiquita.
29:51Así estaba de chiquita.
29:53Mi cuarto era ese.
29:56Madre!
29:56¿Se fue a la de ella?
29:57Yo, yo era su vecina.
29:59Sí.
30:00Madre.
30:01¿Sí?
30:01Yo era su vecina, madre.
30:04Ah, mira.
30:04Aquí ven, recibí el catecismo.
30:06Sí, tu madrina fue.
30:08¿Puedo ver?
30:09¿Es Josefina?
30:09Gracias por abrirnos.
30:11When I was growing up
30:13in that house,
30:14in that neighborhood,
30:15the nuns were our neighbor.
30:17I was just like
30:18always spying on them.
30:21They bought my home.
30:22That is such a crazy surprise.
30:37Estoy muriendo.
30:39Ok, yo me estoy desmayando.
30:41¿Quieres desmayarte ahorita o después?
30:44Estoy temblando.
30:46Puedes entrar a tu casa.
30:47Madre.
30:48Lo más que convertimos en una parte de tu casa,
30:52en una capilla.
30:52Aquí todavía tenemos una capilla.
30:55No, mamita.
30:55¿Qué pasa?
30:57Mira.
30:59Aquí hicimos una capilla.
31:01Mira.
31:02Este era el patio de mi casa.
31:05Este era el patio de tu casa.
31:07Mira, qué bonito era.
31:10Mira, qué bonito.
31:11Mira.
31:12Aquí está el santísimo aire.
31:16Disfrótalo.
31:17Allá era la lavandería.
31:19Sí.
31:20Yo por algún, por ahí.
31:21Está la sala.
31:21La sala sí está igual que tu casa.
31:24Sí.
31:25A ver, vamos a metotear.
31:26Por ahí entraba la puerta principal.
31:29A ver, madre, cuénteme.
31:30Ahí está la cochera todavía.
31:32Ay, madre.
31:33Espérate.
31:34Por aquí entrábamos.
31:35Sí, sí.
31:36Ahí está la puerta todavía, pero ya no la usamos.
31:39Pero aquí está.
31:40Esta es...
31:40Y esto era la cocina de mi mamá.
31:42Está igual.
31:43Mi cocina estaba ya.
31:45Está igual.
31:46Está igual.
31:47Está igual.
31:58Para conectar con las raíces, con lo que era mi adolescencia.
32:03No sé si es lo que era lo que era, pero es como un momento hermoso para mí.
32:07Es como una energía de liberación, y es como un momento de gratitud.
32:13El árbol de Navidad, yo lo ponía aquí.
32:16Aquí lo poníamos.
32:18Y aquí poníamos en la mesa el nacimiento precioso, y aquí eran las cenas.
32:23Y ahí se cocinaba la cena de Navidad.
32:26¡Qué emocionante!
32:27¡Qué maravilla!
32:28And this 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.
32:40Just go for it.
32:42I'm here for you.
32:43And guess what?
32:44You made it.
32:46¡Qué increíble!
32:49Estoy...
32:50¡Wow!
32:52Se siente paz, ¿verdad?
32:56Mi amor, qué bonito todo.
33:00Es que México, qué hermoso, sobre 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.
33:29But this is a really big move.
33:32Everything 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 L.A.
33:44And 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.
34:04It'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 to,
34:18like, where you want to see it?
34:19Yeah, absolutely.
34:21I think it's been really difficult, like, the time zones and, like, being in meetings and having, like, so many
34:29other things going and so many other moving parts.
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, it
34:44can be overwhelming.
34:45The scariest part about going for your passions is the fear of failure.
34:50That fear doesn't go away.
34:52You're not obviously going to live in Milwaukee full-time like how you did in D.C., so what's the
34:59plan this time?
35:01We have to be able to, like, really communicate about this in the next, like, year.
35:06I 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 shifts
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?
35:22Taking a far step back away from work, or 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 a lot
35:56of that clarity.
35:57But for now, it's just, it'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.
36:18Amazon has made it easier than ever to discover the inspiring designs and products from female entrepreneurs' redefining success.
36:27From innovative apparel, beauty, and health and wellness essentials, these trailblazing women have curated collections just for you.
36:35Just open your Amazon shopping app and search, shop the show to explore their favorites and support female-led businesses.
36:44Curated by her, made for you.
36:49I have a crazy day.
36:51This is your moment, baby.
36:52Fashion Week was a great success.
36:54It's full speed ahead.
36:56Talk 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, which, you
37:08know, 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.
37:16Raising capital is really difficult.
37:18Lauren's giving me an opportunity to pitch my fund.
37:21Like, what?
37:22She's going to say yes, or, you know, we'll hunt her down.
37:29Fernanda, where are my students?
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 to make the cut for
37:47the wholesalers.
37:48Oh!
37:57And the heat of the battle, yeah, you know I'm not giving up.
38:04Because I fight for one man, I'll tell you no more that I want to learn.
38:08Oh!
38:10Oh!
38:10Oh!
38:11Not afraid of the fire, or the flame, or what's it for.
38:15Oh!
38:17Oh!
38:17Oh!
38:17Oh!
38:17I am a warrior
38:29I am a warrior
38:33I am a warrior
38:47I am a warrior
