Summary

Welcome Dream Catchers! If you're just finding the show, be sure to check out our Facebook page and take the time to leave us a review on iTunes. On today's show, we chat with Keona Harris, a Houston, Texas-based mother and entrepreneur. After going through a divorce, buying a new home, and starting her own business — all within the last year! — Keona decided there was no better time to plan a cross country road trip with her 9-year-old daughter. "I was one of those people who when I had PTO days I couldn’t or wouldn’t use them because work would get backed up," Keona told us. "I just had to look at my situation and ask myself what is more important to me? My child was going to daycare and school all day. I didn’t get home until it was time to put her to bed. I didn’t want that life for her. I didn’t want that life for us… I don’t need to give the best of my years and my times to an institution when my daughter needs me most." We talked to Keona about why she decided to plan this journey for her daughter and, of course, how she saved up the money to fund it.

0:00.0	Hey, hey, hey, oh, I haven't said that in a while and we're back brown and
0:20.0	bitch and many a Tiffany. We're still looking for that intro music, Mandy. Like I need you to do a rap.
0:25.1	I've kind of moved on. I feel okay. I feel okay. The people like it.
0:30.2	I love how you got really deep with the hey, hey, hey, I feel like you were a little
0:35.3	very, very man-a-lot. Wait, which one is it? Very white. Very white. Okay. I almost said very black,
0:41.5	but I was like, I'm pretty sure that's not his name. So yeah, so some, what's the buzzy? Well,
0:49.4	first of all, I have to have to have to. I saw you posted it on our brown ambition Facebook page,
0:53.8	and I literally giggled, watched it again, giggled, and sent it to everybody. Black girl, I know.
0:59.4	I think I know what you know what I mean. So today's show, OMG, what is happening over there?
1:05.8	So do you want to tell the story or should I? Well, first of all, I didn't know it was just,
1:09.6	it just happened this week. I thought this was like an old clip or something, but apparently
1:13.7	Sepor Savannah got three. They did a segment on the today's show about summer hairstyles.
1:20.3	And you have three beautiful women of color sitting on stools, and they're about to get one
1:24.4	minute hairstyles. First of all, you tell any brown woman she can do her hair in one minute,
1:28.1	and she will tell you that it's a lie. A lie? A bowl of face lie. Unless you have locks, and even then,
1:33.6	it's just to take the amount of the point. I can tell that producer did not do her fact checking,
1:37.2	because data and statistics would have shown it takes at least 17 minutes to get anything
1:43.3	resembling a good hairstyles. Exactly. I digress. Anyways, do you see this woman? I don't know who she is,
1:48.5	or what her business is, how she got on national television. But all you see is the girl in the middle
1:55.2	getting the most ridiculous hair style ever, and she's just talking really fast over this poor girl,
2:01.7	this poor model's head as she's yanking her curls and messing them up. What kills me is you see the
2:08.3	expression of the model's face, and it is such a fake smile. Yeah, because she knows. She knows.
