          15 - QUITTERS DO WIN

          Quitters never win? BS! This episode is the flip side to that narrative that quitting makes you weak, when in fact quitting takes an immense amount of bravery and courage. Quitting toxic jobs, relationships, and habits that don't serve you can be the launch pad to creating the life that you've always dreamt of. Bria shares specific instances where quitting was a pivotal moment that led to a domino effect of happiness and fulfillment.

                13 - TIKTOK BANS MLM CONTENT & MY MLM HORROR STORY

                Tiktok recently released a statement that the app will be banning any and all MLM content as it goes against their guidelines and potentially pushing scams, fraud, and pyramid schemes making them very Anti MLM. In this episode we chat about this decision and why it is so profound. After discussing the new Anti MLM TikTok update, Bria shares very personal experiences with MLM companies and what it has been like constantly being targeted to work for companies like Amway, Arbonne, Monat, etc as an Influencer. Bria shares a specific story that has never been told that left her feeling manipulated, and embarrassed.

                This episode is not focused on debating if MLM's are pyramid schemes, but instead is focusing on a very specific experience in hopes to offer up a conversation on why people are passionate about being Anti MLM and why companies like TikTok are enforcing regulations.

                       Olivia Jade & the Red Table Talk Interview  (w/ Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris)

                      Olivia Jade Giannulli is a YouTuber, and the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky from Full House) and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli.  Giannulli began a social media career on YouTube and Instagram; as of 2019, both accounts have amassed more than one million followers until her world flipped upside down after it was revealed to the public that her parents were involved in the biggest college admissions scandal at USC. 

                      After a hiatus, Giannulli reached out to Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris in hopes that she could share her story with this scandal on the Facebook Watch show, Red Table Talk. With much hesitation, they did the interview and the public was very divided on the decision to have Olivia Jade on. Should they have passed on Olivia and left it up to shows like, The View?

                      In this episode, Bria Jones will dissect the differing opinions and perspectives on if this Red Table Talk episode was problematic and analyze the role of white, rich, privilege in dividing viewers.

                                    I had a plan for this episode and instead had an overdue meltdown into the mic mid episode so please bear with the snot in your ears. ANYWAYS y'all the tea is piping hot and we officially have a new guy in town, President Joe Biden and MADAME Vice President, Kamala Harris. We absolutely talk about silence from influencers about this election and other thoughts like key players that helped this nation flip blue like Stacey Abrams, voters in Pennsylvania and Georgia, and BLACK WOMEN- periodt! I also get into my predictions for how Donald Trump will put up this fight until he is officially evicted from the White House. Unsure how long he will play this game of election fraud when his supporters don't even know whether to yell STOP THE COUNT OR COUNT THE VOTES. Anyways chile, yall enjoy this here episode!

                                    TO CANCEL OR TO NOT CANCEL! Larray would say so after his song CANCELED dropped. Girlllll let me tell you it's been a week. In between my cutie panic attacks and four planets being in retrograde I managed to get this episode recorded! I talk about a recent tango I did with the Covid-19 (coronavirus) and how that panned out. Then we dive into the actual topic of cancel culture. I chat about what my instagram followers think about cancel culture and even reference some instances of cancel culture. For example the Call Her Daddy breakup between Alexandra Cooper (Call Her Daddy - barstool sports)  and Sofia Franklin (Sofia With an F - sloot media), James Charles and Jenna Marbles of Youtube, Tony Lopez and Gemini of TikTok. We discuss how necessary cancel culture may or may not be, alternatives to cancelling someone, and how we can cancel someone and mean it.
