How Staying Focused Shapes Your Legacy With Sheia Grant Gibbs
I get to start off the show. Usually, it’s my cohort, Dr. Sylvia Morris, but she threw it to me. I’m so happy to be here. Although we’re not technically in the new year 2025, we are celebrating mostly because we are inspired by our guest, which we’ll get to. First, we want to start by talking about fun and what our definition of fun is.
Coming off a very fun weekend. I can say that my idea of fun is spending time with people that I love and getting that belly laugh several times in a weekend where I can let my hair down, completely be me, stay up late, in which times I get silly, and the people around me are accepting of my silly behavior. You can add a little good food and dancing in there and I’m good to go for a long time. Those are some of the things that I like to do. The belly laughs with my family are the cherished ones but I love being with my girls as well. How about you, Dr. Sylvia Morris?
Fun is really important. I have been telling more younger people that I mentor to make sure that they have fun. We spend a lot of time talking about how we’re going to get our next job, what’s our next move as far as where we’re going to live, and how we’re going to make more money but we don’t always emphasize or remind people the importance of fun. You’re right. I love a good giggle. I am also very fond of sitting at the beach on a Chase lounge with an umbrella on top, maybe with a cool beverage and a book. All of those things are fun.
Our guest, Sheia Grant Gibbs, told me something before I started my job, which honestly, is the best job that I’ve ever had. It’s not perfect but it’s a good fit for me. We have the honor of speaking with Sheia Grant Gibbs. She’s one of my favorite people in the world. She’s a creative because she’s a dancer and a hairstylist. She is a daughter, a teacher, a wife, and a mother. Most importantly for me, she is a sister, friend, and truth-teller. I want to welcome our audience to Sheia Grant Gibbs.
I’m so glad to be here.
How are you doing, Sheia?
I’m doing well. How are you guys doing?
Good.
We are doing well. I want to level-set our audience. If you’re watching us on YouTube, which I recommend, we are in sequins in honor of our guest, Sheia Grant Gibbs, because she always brings her most authentic self. Part of her creative expression is clothing. She’s the only person I know who gives me permission to wear sequins during the day. It may not be New Year’s Eve. It may not be a holiday party or an after 5:00 event but we’re going to get some sequins in.
I love it. Sylvia told me, “She loves sequins.” I said, “Say less. Let me pull them out right now.” Sheia, we want to get right into it and ask you some questions that will give our audience some idea of what made you who you are. Can you give us an idea of what you wanted to be and what you wanted to do when you were growing up?
First of all, I want to say thank you for allowing me to be on your show. To answer your question, I always knew I was on the creative side. I started out dancing. I was three years old when I started dancing. I did that all the way up until about eighteen. When I was dancing, I fell in love with sequins. That’s where the initial love for sequins and the shingles came from. I loved it. I initially thought that I was going to be dancing and that was going to be my career choice, but I realized that things needed to pivot because I realized I wanted a family. I was like, “You are not going to be able to do that at the age range that you want to do it if you don’t step away from it.”
My sister worked at the school where I eventually went to. She said, “We have cosmetology at the school.” At first, I was thinking, “Why is she saying that to me?” It dawned on me that I did my friend’s hair and I did my mom’s hair. I was doing everyone’s hair but I never really thought about it as a career. I went to school for it. When they introduced cutting, I fell in love. I knew that I was going to be in this industry for a long time.
Influential People In Sheia’s Life
I need to let our audience know that for many years, you were my hairstylist. My hair is crocheted but you have given me some fantastic cuts in color previously. If I ever cut all this stuff under here again, you will be my first stop. Sheia, you and I both have lost our mothers. I think of Miss Mozell as probably one of the most important people in your life. I hear about her all the time. I know that she’s still with us. My mother is still with us. Can you give us a few Ms. Mozel lessons? I appreciate them so I know our audience will too.
My mother has so many lessons. One of the things that she would always tell me was that I needed to ask for wisdom. I didn’t really understand when she would say that to me but that’s something that I take dear and ask for all the time. It’s something that has blessed me. She would say, “Keep the main thing the main thing.” That one has helped me because it allows you to stay focused on what the goal is when all the other distractions come to you, you’re getting pulled by your emotions, or your situation is saying one thing. When you identify what that is, it allows you to press towards that goal in spite of all of the turmoil that’s going on around you. Those were two that she always would tell me.
In regards to partnering up and getting into relationships, she would always say, “Don’t start anything that you can’t finish.” That was a big one. When you’re young, you don’t understand that. Now that I’m older, when you’re traveling down the path and you’re getting into relationships with people, you want to be your most authentic self. Whatever you’re presenting, you want to be able to keep that up because if somebody likes that and you’re doing it to get them, they’re going to be a little bit disappointed if you can’t keep it up.
Those are awesome. My follow-up question was going to be, “Tell us about someone in your life who’s given you life lessons,” but Sylvia already went there with that. Is there anyone else along your career path that you want to highlight that’s made a difference in your life and in what way?
There are so many people on my career path. Number one, my husband was a very intricate part of us doing business together and all of our business ventures and being that support. One of my closest friends was one of my business partners. That’s the thing. Relationships are important. You never know when you’re meeting people how they will influence you and help you get to the next level. I could say that a lot of my clients, even Dr. Sylvia, have played a huge role in me getting to places where I never thought that I would. Having and knowing how to have good relationships and be in good relationships is always great. It’s always great to be able to have good people in your life.
Relationships are very important. You just never know how the people you meet will influence and help you to get to the next level. Share on XImportance Of Relationships
When we’re walking, most of our conversation is around relationships, community, and being able to stay in the community and offering grace. When we think about relationships, we always think about our intimate partners. Can you expand on what type of relationships and then how do you maintain them?
It’s important. I know a lot of people can be leery of relationships. We should focus on learning how to vet the proper people. It’s not the relationships in themselves. If we do the upfront work and learn how to vet people, relationships are beautiful. They have saved my life. When you have the right people that are joined to you, you can do amazing things, things that you thought you would never be able to do on your own. They stretch you. They teach you.
You also need to understand that you need to be for somebody what it is that you want, and you need to do that first. Oftentimes, we are looking for that in reverse. When I think about the type of relationship that I want, I’m always saying to myself, “What type of relationship do you want to present to someone? Who do you want to be for this person that will inspire them to be that for you?”
Relationships, at the end of the day, are always about giving. It’s about giving first. In this day and time where everybody wants, that’s great, but at the same time, you need to understand that it comes with who you are, what you’re willing to give, and who you’re willing to inspire to be that very thing that you want from that person. In relationships, oftentimes, it’s a mirror. If the relationship is dissatisfactory to you when you’re looking at somebody, you need to look back at yourself.
We’re like, “I’m sorry, but it’s all about them. It has nothing to do with me. They are wrong.”
That’s what we like to think but it goes back to you because you can’t control anyone else. You only have the power to control yourself. When you think, “How do I want to be in this relationship? What do I want to contribute to it? How do I want to make it flourish?” that goes back to you. When somebody sees that you are doing the things, if you vetted the right person, they want the same thing that you want. It inspires them to do the same thing. That’s a part of being a boss. You are making those decisions to do it yourself.
Agreed. Those are pearls of wisdom. Along with that, and I don’t know if you agree, is that discernment or asking for that wisdom to know about the relationships that are not going to serve you well and being able to let go of those so that you can continue to grow? What do you think?
That’s a big part of that vetting process, knowing the ones to bring close to you. I could not agree 100% more. Knowing to say, “This person is nice. However, they’re not a good fit for me,” is okay. That doesn’t mean that you’re saying someone is bad. It means that they’re not the fit for you at this season or at this time.
Reason, season, lifetime. Sometimes, we think that people are going to be with us for a lifetime. It turns out it was just a season. Maybe it was a really long season. Knowing how to allow them to go off, flourish, and go in a different direction can be difficult.
That’s a part of the growth and keeping the main thing the main thing. It is being able to identify clearly what it is that you’re trying to accomplish so that you’re able to recognize, “This may be difficult but this is something that I need to do in order to get the outcome that I tried to get.” I’m an outcomes person. I always like to identify what that outcome is because what it does is it exposes things. It exposes the things that you need to do but it also exposes the things and the people that you need to stay away from.
Cosmetology Career Path
Sheia, along those lines of outcomes, this episode will be very valuable for women who are interested in cosmetology or maybe making moves in cosmetology. Can you tell us your pathway, what made you decide on cosmetology school, and what you’ve done since that time with your degree?
Once I went to school for it when I was about eighteen, I transitioned from dance directly into cosmetology. Once cutting was identified, I didn’t know how but I knew then that I wanted to specialize in cutting. I wanted to do everyone’s hair that walked in that door. No matter who they were, I wanted to be able to do it.
I didn’t know how to get to that path, so for the first five years, I was in a salon as a contractor and I did every one. In my mind, because I’m an outcomes person, I’m thinking, “There has to be somewhere where I can go to where I can focus on this.” In between, I worked at haircut places. I then did some research and found a salon, Van Michael, that was a departmentalized salon. I was able to work on the cutting side. They had a color side and then they had a cutting side. I was in heaven. It was the best thing for me.
From there, I went on and opened up my own salon, Grant Gibbs. It was a departmentalized salon as well where we had a focal point of cutting and color. It was all for Aveda. I was introduced to the Aveda concept at Van Michael. That was great. It was going well, and then we found out about my mother. It was one of those things where we had to pivot and shift, which was fine, but it was difficult for me because I had been working since fifteen. I was in the clothing store, I was dancing, and then I started doing hair. I’ve always been working. That was a bit challenging having to find out that my mother was ill and then I was going to have to devote this time. At the same time, I was grateful to be able to do it.
Since I had my clients, I became a contractor because they asked for me to come. I was traveling to them because a lot of their jobs started to travel. They were traveling and then they were doing work at home. I was able to do clients doing that which ultimately led to the bigger goal, which was doing real estate. My family and I have a real estate company. All of the hair stuff eventually led us to that. It’s been great.
Real Estate Ventures
Let’s backtrack because that’s a lot. Let’s unpack that because you are speaking my language. That’s a passion of mine. Not that I’ve been able to develop it, but real estate in general is so important for people of color, for Black women, and for families in general. I have this feeling that we need to be doing more. I would love to know about that part of your career and how you made that leap.
It was something that my husband and I had been talking about for a while but we initially couldn’t figure out how we wanted to do it together. The cool thing about it is we knew that we wanted to do a family business and we wanted to leave a legacy for my son and for the people that come after us. We started on that path. We started to get a little attraction but we couldn’t get things off.
One day, I was talking to my brother about how we were trying to get on this side, trying to transition to real estate. My brother was like, “Me too.” We were like, “Why don’t we do it together?” It worked out great, which goes back to relationships. My brother is eleven years older than me. He and my husband have always had a great relationship.
We had a meeting. We talked about the desired outcome that we wanted, which was very similar because he was trying to do it with someone else that he knew. When we talked about it and had the meeting, we found out that our goals lined up. It was a few years ago. It took off after that. We started to plan and do all the things. We wound up getting our first multifamily unit property. We have some land in Rockmart that we’ll be developing. It has been a journey. I’m glad that we are on this path.
Navigating Life Transitions As An Empty Nester
That is fantastic. I’ve been seeing glimpses of your real estate evolution. I am super proud of you because I know that stepping out there on faith to make that leap. Not everyone can work with their family or everyone has the same goals or intentions when you work together. That is fantastic. I know the name of your salon was Grant Gibbs. I certainly want to talk about you being an empty nester. How is that going? What’s the transition been like?
Great. My husband’s name is Bennie. We always knew that when Grant was born, we were stewards over him and that we were raising him to leave the house. That’s the position that we took. We love him and we have always loved him, but from the day that he has been here, it has always been that he is a father, a husband, and a leader. Everything that we did in raising him was in that vein. We used to do night chats with him. I would ask him about being a husband and whether he wants to. Those conversations changed. How it sounded changed but it always stayed true. He has always been a family person even when he was younger.
I remember having a conversation with him. He graduated from high school. I was like, “You told me you wanted to be married and you want to have two kids. Do you want your wife to work? Do you want her to work full-time? Do you want her to work part-time? How do you want her to provide for the children? These are things that you need to start thinking about now so that you can figure out what you need to do to give her that option coming in and that you’ve at least thought about that. She can tell you and you guys can negotiate but at least you’ve already had it on your mind that, “I’ve been planning for this family even before you got here.” I’m excited for him to get married and become a nana, God willing.
When we talk about parenting, forecasting, and preparing, that’s a lot as stewards. I like that approach. You’ve done all the preparation for him. It sounds like you have given him a very good roadmap and are allowing him to find his way. What about you guys without him physically being in the house? I’m an empty nester as well so I know things change. It sounds like you’ve also been making some career changes, so that’s probably guided you as well in terms of what you do.
I always knew when I got to the point where I was near retirement that I wanted to educate. Grant’s graduation was on a Saturday. I applied on Friday. I’m an educator at the Aveda Institute. I am so grateful for being able to give back and being in that space where you can give back. Those were the main two things that I wanted to focus on, which were becoming an educator and focusing more on our real estate business. That’s the legacy part or the legacy piece to it. With him being gone, it allows us to focus on transition, get the house ready for us to get out of it, and think about the next generation. That’s what we’re doing.
Reflections And Advice To Younger Self
That is fantastic. What advice would you give to eighteen-year-old Sheia?
Eighteen-year-old Sheia thought she had it all.
You were the bee’s knees. I know you were.
It is to have grace and mercy on yourself. Since I’m such an outcomes person and I’ve always been like that, it is understanding when you’re going through a process and things happen. These are things that are uncontrollable. You don’t always do the right things. Life happens. You need to have grace for yourself and understand that it’s a process to get the things out of life you want but you have to stay focused.
While you’re going through that process, you have to understand that you’re developing. Sometimes, if you get what you’re asking for too soon, your character can’t support it. It is very important that you allow yourself that grace and the time to go through the process. The process is good for you. It doesn’t always feel good for us but the process is what develops us and molds our character so that the character and what you’re asking for can align.
Self-Care Practices
That’s very good. A theme that we’ve heard quite a bit on the show is a lot of us giving that younger person grace. Life is changing. With wisdom, we grow. What we thought we wanted to do may not continue to be what we’re doing or the direction we’re going. Traveling with grace allows you to say, “I did think that at one point in time but that’s statute.” Along those lines with grace and mercy, what do you do for yourself for self-care?
I love to walk. I got up at 7:00 and went to the track. I love to get up early, walk around the track for 2 to 3 hours, relax, free my mind, and meditate. That’s when I have time to be with myself. My whole career, I’m talking. I’m a counselor. I’m a lot of things behind a chair to a lot of people. You have to have that time when you’re pouring out, especially since I’m an educator. You also have to have that time to feed yourself and almost charge yourself back up so that you can be ready for when it’s time to pour out again. There’s a balance of it. That’s the time when I love to be with my own thoughts. That’s one of my favorite things to do.
Sheia’s Passion For Imparting Knowledge
When you talk about pouring out, sometimes, we forget to pour into ourselves. The popular culture around self-care wasn’t always so. When we were growing up, it was probably thought of as being a little bit selfish because we were always trying to look after everyone else. Especially as women, we are caretakers. Even if you don’t have children, there are still other members of your family that you are responsible for. It’s that concept of putting our own oxygen mask on first so that we can then care for other people. Walking, I am all for that. You are one of our first guests and our only guest who has talked about their own personal motto. Your motto is imparting knowledge to release passion in others. Could you talk to our audience about that?
Yes. It means that my passion ever since I was young is telling the truth and when I listen to people and the things that they want to do, whether it is to become married, open a salon, have their own business, write a book, or whatever it is, especially if I have done some of the things that they are wanting to do, it’s to take what I know and to be able to say, “This is what I know. This is how I can help you.” Oftentimes, we get in our own heads. We allow fear. We allow our thoughts. We allow things that other people are saying to us to keep us stagnant or even to make us get stuck.
I always think about things like an iceberg. When you have the top of the iceberg, you see the success and all the beautiful things. There’s a bottom layer to the iceberg. Nobody sees the sweat, dedication, defeat, and all the things that it took for you to get to that outcome. For me, that’s where that imparting knowledge comes from. It is to breathe life into people and let them know, “If that’s what you want, then this is what you can get. Stay the course.” It is for them to move all of the distractions out of the way and zone in on what the outcome is so that they can stay the course and surround themselves with people that want to see them achieve their outcomes and goals and that fear can be removed from them. It is chipping at it a little bit at a time.
You are giving a lot of knowledge. You have a couple of things that I’d like you to share. Maybe some strategy for this twenty-year-old that’s tuning in. I want to break it into two parts. 1 is that 20-year-old who wants to go into cosmetology but may not have the dreams that you had so she may not be able to see what she needs to see. What’s a piece of advice for someone who’s going into cosmetology? Then, there’s the young woman who wants to go into real estate as part of her career path.
It could also be the mid-career woman who wants to go into real estate.
For someone who’s younger that knows and has identified that they do want to go the route of cosmetology, I would say start. See what type of schools that you want. Do tours so that you can identify what fits you best. I often ask the students why they chose Aveda and why they came here. Knowing your why is very important so that you won’t be disappointed when you start class. It lines up with what your expectations were so that you can thrive and keep the main thing on learning.
Know your why so that you will not be disappointed when things do not line up with your expectations. Share on XGet that out the way first. Go visit some schools so that you can identify which one feels better for you or which one lines up with what you feel that you want to do in this industry because there are so many things, it’s so big, and it’s so great. It can be whatever you make it but you do need to identify what your lane and your path is so that your school can line up to that.
There are so many schools. You want your school to line up to the path that you’re trying to go. It makes it a lot easier. I would tell them to start to get some tours in, identify the school, and then get started. All the other things will come as they get started. Don’t worry about all the things and know all the things. Go visit schools, choose your school, and get started.
For the person who wants to get into real estate, it is the same thing. Real estate is very huge. I worked with a young lady and she wanted to get into real estate as well. She’s going to start off as an agent. She wants her end goal to be doing real estate investing but she wants to get the information from starting off as an agent. There are different pathways to do it. It really depends on where you are. She’s younger, so that makes a lot of sense for her to start off as an agent.
With my husband and my brother, we work with different agents to find us properties. We partner up with agents to find us the properties that we’re looking for. You want to identify what it is that you want to do in the real estate industry. Do you want to purchase homes and rehab them? Do you want to have a multifamily unit property, a property that you can hold for a long time and gain income from? Are you trying to have tiny homes?
There are so many things that you can do. Do the research. Do you want to wholesale? You can do wholesale and develop money for your other properties. First, do the research and figure out what it is that you want to do because it will expose to you the path that you need to take and will also expose to you what you don’t need to do.
How Women Can Better Support Each Other
We appreciate that. That was a lot of really actionable advice, which is what we’re about here on the show. I want us to go back a little bit because we have been talking about the importance of relationships throughout our conversation. What I’d like to know is as women, how can we better support each other and be in better relationships with each other?
First of all, it is knowing who you are, spending some time with yourself, and developing yourself so that when you’re talking about getting into a relationship, whatever type of relationship, you are a person who is prepared to be in a relationship, prepared to give, and prepared to serve. Those words don’t scare you. You want to do that. On the front end, it is knowing how to have that wisdom and discernment to be able to identify who should be someone that you should bring close to you. Once you identify that person or those people, then, it makes it easy because their values fall in line with your values.
Another one of those things that my mom used to say to me is someone needs to be already operating in the gift instead of you getting into the relationship and wanting and hoping to see the thing or the gift. I didn’t understand that, but what she meant was whatever it is that you want from someone, they need to be operating in it as do you. If you want someone to be loving and kind, you need to come to the relationship loving and kind. When you meet someone, they need to already be naturally and authentically loving and kind because if they’re not, that’s a flag. You want somebody loving and kind. Why would you choose someone that’s not?
I can’t change them? I can’t make them into loving and kind?
You cannot. They’re adults. You only can change yourself. You only have the power to change yourself. It is being able to recognize those signs and being able to bring to a relationship what it is that you know that you want and that you’re that thing first so that you can align yourself. That’s how you wind up having relationships that can stand the test of time. It is when you guys are aligned and you guys can do magic. You’re not fighting over the fundamental things. You want to get people that you don’t have to fight over the fundamental things because when you’re not fighting over the fundamental things, then you can figure out how to do business with each other, how to travel with each other, how to have podcasts with each other, or how to make money with each other. Those are the fun things.
You only have the power to change yourself. Share on XIt can’t always be Six Flags. That is my favorite expression from your brother. I’m like, “We are going to work that in this conversation.” Can you elaborate on the expression, “It can’t always be Six Flags.”
He’s so funny. We have a lot of meetings with the business. We talk about relationships all the time. When you’re going through life and you’re thinking about the things that you want out of life and how you want it to be, he’s always like, “When you’re pursuing things, it can always be Six Flags. Meaning, it can always be fun. You have to be willing to go through things and take the good and the bad.”
That’s why it goes back to the importance of picking the right people. When you pick the right people, you have to be willing to go through everything, not just the top of the iceberg with them. You have to be willing to go to the bottom of the iceberg with them. That’s the crying, deaths, and failures. When you have the right people in your life, it makes it so much better because you’re not focused on those things. You know that you have your person and you’re focusing on, “No matter what happens, we’re here now. We’re going to figure out how to get out of it.” He loves to say that and I thought that was hilarious. It’s one of those things that we say in the family.
When you pick the right people, you have to be willing to go through everything, not just the top of the iceberg but also its bottom. Share on XEvery time I see you, I work it in because I love it. It forces me to be present in the now and not get caught up in all the other stuff. It’s keeping the main thing the main thing.
Gratitude And Appreciation
There is so much wisdom you are imparting so much. It sounds like from our conversation since this is our first time meeting, you have so many things in your life to be grateful for. There are wonderful people in your lives, people who have poured into you with lots of knowledge and wisdom. I know it’s hard when these questions come up, but what are you most grateful for in life? At this stage in life, what are you most grateful for?
My relationships. I’m grateful for my relationship with my husband. It changed my life. I’m grateful for my relationship with my son. Being a parent changed my life. I’m grateful and very thankful for the relationship that I have with my husband, my brother, and my son with the family business. We have a marriage group that has been going on for about 25 years. It’s four couples. I’m grateful for my marriage group. I’m grateful for Sylvia and yourself.
I’m grateful for being in this space at this time in a position where I thought when I was younger that I was going to educate. I’m in this space doing the things that I said I wanted to do. When you’re in the grind of trying to do things, sometimes, you can not see where you are. I know when my mother passed, I did not think that I was going to feel like myself again, so I’m grateful to be in a space where I honestly feel like myself again.
That’s beautiful.
We are grateful for you, Sheia.
Thank you.
Key Takeaways
I am so grateful for our conversations, our walks, and our sisterhood. Angela, Sheia has given us so many pearls of wisdom for our audience. What really resonates for you?
There was so much. Keep the main thing the main thing was number one because I’ve got so many balls in the air in terms of my goals and dreams. I have learned that I need to, at certain points in time, attack one thing at a time. I don’t think we’re designed to be multitaskers anyway but in our line of work, we’ve done that. I’m in a position where I am grateful that I don’t have to do it that way. I’m trying to keep the main thing the main thing. I love that.
Number two, vetting people is so important. That’s an important thing to do early in life. The younger you can learn that, the better. The vetting process is super important to avoid some of the pitfalls that are unnecessary in life. When you vet early and realize that that person may want to be involved with you but it is not truly aligned with your goals or your purpose, you need to know when to step away.
I love what you do, which is the same as me, in terms of walking. It helps to free my mind and feed myself. I love that. To walk until I’m 105 is my goal and it will still do what it does for me now. There is so much that I’ve learned. I loved meeting you. I can’t wait to know more and have you back so you give us more pearls of wisdom. I’ll shoot it back to you, Sylvia. What pearls are you taking away? It sounds like you have one every day when you go walking so I don’t know if you can pinpoint a couple, but what did you get from this?
I still want to reiterate finding the fun. That is Sheiaism. That is what I’m going to call it. Keep the main thing the main thing. It’s not always Six Flags. The new one for me is thinking about the iceberg. The top of the iceberg may be decorated in sequins and it’s fun and great, but it’s not necessarily about the top of the iceberg. It’s about the bottom or the base of the iceberg, the stuff that you can’t see. Persistence, grace, wisdom, and discernment, all of those things help us make boss leap moves to move forward. I also want people to stay in gratitude. It’s a mindfulness technique but it’s also a life technique.
Before we go, Sylvia mentioned your business, the cosmetology business. Can you tell us the name of your real estate business?
Yes. It’s G and G Life Properties.
Sheia, we want to thank you for sharing your journey with us here at the show. We want to wish you well and much success as you continue forward. My heart was so full for a moment that I lost track of what I wanted to say but what it comes down to is I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sisterhood and your enduring support. I love you and thank you for coming here to the show. May you be well.
Thank you guys so much. Thank you for everything and for the opportunity.
It was our pleasure.
Thank you for wearing sequins.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity. We have to bring Sheia back once every three months. That means I have to go buy more sequins.
That’s right. Everybody should have a lot of it in their closet.
I love it. We live once. To everyone else that’s tuning in out there, we wish that you have mercy and grace, and may you be well.
Thank you. Have a good one.
