Meet the DFLA Team
Speaker 1So how are you guys doing today ? Great Thanks for being here . I think we're good yeah , do you guys want to introduce yourselves ? I feel like I don't have to , just because you've already been here before .
Speaker 3So my name is Denise . I am somebody that's been helping out with DFLA for a while now .
Speaker 2A lot .
Speaker 3And Diana's best friend , so I've been around since 2012 . Um , and diana's best friend , so I've been around since 2012 , but I'm usually the person that's on the back like more behind the scenes . Um , so I'm kind of more to myself , but I've recently started my own little business , so hopefully that goes good . It's gonna be permanent jewelry yeah , what does that mean ?
Speaker 1what does permanent jewelry ?
Speaker 3mean , basically I buy wholesale chains , so gold filled or silver , and I would weld it onto , like , so it doesn't . There's no way of taking it off , yeah , um , yeah , so there would be no real way . I mean , obviously it's not permanent , permanent , if you need to take it off , you can just , you know , cut it off , um . But to me it's kind of like more of a solution , because I lose everything . Me too , I lose everything .
Speaker 3So I'm scared to get married yeah same , I've always thought about that . So I'm like dude , if I ever get anything expensive , I'm gonna lose it . Even before I even started to think of doing it on my own , I had gotten permanent jewelry with Diana before too . It just seems like how cute .
Speaker 1It just seems like when did you guys get married ? Just kidding 2012 .
Speaker 32012 . We can answer that real easily June of 2012 . June of 2012 . The summer of 2012 . Very romantic , yeah , but yeah , it just To me . Me , I lose everything . So it's an easy solution .
Speaker 1Yeah , for sure that's really cool that you're doing that , because I am always looking for solutions for jewelry . I always get like fake silver because , um , I lose it . So there's no point in me having real silver because I just end up losing it anyway .
Speaker 2So yeah , I take care of anything and I've had . All these three are permanent jewelry . Yeah , one of them was the one we got our anniversary . The other one is from another cousin we have that does permanent jewelry too , but they're solid like they don't go nowhere I would have already lost it .
Speaker 1If it was just so , are you going to be a part of DFLA , or with your jewelry line , or is it like a separate website ?
Speaker 3um , I think it's a separate thing . Um , obviously , when they have pop-ups and stuff like that , obviously I would want to be a part of it yeah um , but yeah , I think it's separate . Right now we are hosting the event together . Um , obviously they're the ones with the like , the larger following , so it makes it a lot easier for us to , you know , put things out there and okay , but she got us there yeah like she was she's trying to be humble , yeah what ?
Speaker 2no , I do the same thing . Following like her content is like , even if I think , oh my god , I made a cool video , I'm like I know Dennis could have done better . Like Elizabeth .
Speaker 3A lot of the time throughout this video you guys are gonna hear them call me Dennis . My name is Denise , it's just a nickname that's stuck since 2012 . Um , a guy that we worked with , he put my name on a banner and he spelled it Dennis . Yeah , but he genuinely thought that's how it was spelled .
Speaker 1Yeah , and it just , I genuinely think that's how Denise is . No , because I don't know how to spell no .
Speaker 3so yeah , I mean it just stuck honestly with everybody . So anyone they introduce me to , they talk about me , it's Dennis , yeah , um . So it makes it a little awkward sometimes because they kind of look at me like I'm , like I'm a girl , I promise , but yeah , so Dennis is me , dennis is the name .
Speaker 2My name is Diana . Nice to see you guys again . Hello , my name is Selma and I'm Diana's sister , and we both are like co-owners of DFL .
Speaker 1I'm Diana's sister and we both are co-owners of DFL , so how have you guys been since the last time we did an episode ? And how's your business doing ? It's been a roller coaster .
Speaker 2It's really hard . I feel like , yeah , it's hard , but we had our grand opening this past year in May , okay , hard , but we had our grand opening , um this past year in may , okay , um , and then we recently closed our doors again , just for not like we didn't shut down or anything . But I don't think people realize how much an event takes out of you financially , emotionally , everything physically like yeah , I feel like people just think like she posted a flyer and the event's going to happen and that's that . But no , it's been a lot .
Speaker 1Yeah , there's like so much work behind events Like people don't realize like how much work it's constantly . Just like reaching out to people first of all , and then waiting waiting for that and then maybe like a quarter of them respond to you and then it's like scheduling and coordinating , so much coordinating which is exhausting .
Speaker 1And then it's like you're also dealing with your everyday life , with , like you know , having to just be there for your family , be there for your friends , like your partner , like , and then working and like trying to make money , you know , like all that stuff , and so people don't realize , like , how much work event planning is it's a lot yeah and also this is the first event that we do that isn't free , yeah , um .
Speaker 2So I feel like we're all , like I don't want to speak for all of us , but I think we probably all feel this a little nervous for , like , the ticket sales okay , how are you guys gonna do the ticket sales ? We've been doing it online . It's on our website , it's on dfla , like literally the moment you click the link , that's the first thing you see .
Speaker 2Um , but again , all our other events were always free yeah so I feel like this time around um we've had events where it's a great turnout , you know , but again it was free .
Speaker 1Right .
Speaker 2I like to think that , because of the cause that it's for , that it's a fundraiser , we're going to have a great turnout .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2But I can say we're kind of nervous .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's always like the most like , so you can do all the planning and set it up and everything . And it's always like the most nerve wracking part where you're just like not sure if people are gonna show up yeah , yeah , yeah , and so that's yeah , anxiety driven .
Speaker 2Yeah , it's still gonna be fun if it's just us , so it's still gonna be fun if it's just a little bit of people , but the more of you that show up , the more families we help and the more fun we have . So stop by . Yeah , and I think it's definitely not to us . It's definitely not about how many people come , yeah , but of course we want a great turnout right of course we want to give the vendors the most that we can give yeah and that's why we've all been working hard , like behind the scenes , to make it happen .
Speaker 2it was she . She had a good idea of hitting up like bigger brands , and so we did , and surprisingly , a lot of them , like you know , reached out and were down for it , and we're so grateful for them .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2And I feel like that's low-key . What's going to give us more of like people buying tickets for sure , I don't know . In a sense , it's more of like credibility .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , You're a bigger brand . You know what you're doing . Yeah , Versus like I've never heard of who you are , why you're doing it Right , but I think it's going to work out . Yeah , I think there are all good people and good things are going to follow .
Speaker 1It's definitely going to work out , because you guys have also . You have all these years of experience already with your business and I feel like we should start there also with just like having you guys explain what DFLA is , just for the people that are like new , to like listening to this or people that haven't seen the first episode that you guys are in .
Speaker 2Okay . So DFLA is our clothing brand
What DFLA Stands For
Speaker 2. My sister and myself started . I'm Sayana and . Selma . So it stands for Dead Friends , los Angeles and basically what that stands for is all the dead presidents . Basically , we like making money , that's what we like , that's our goal and it sounds a little bit what's the word ? Like greedy . No , I think it's open to interpretation .
Speaker 2yeah , because it's not all about the money it isn't , it isn't okay , because we're also trying to build generational wealth , but it's not like that's all we care about and we're going to disregard everything else . Okay , I think like the background to it is more like it's not all about money , of course , but I feel like being first generation like immigrant no , yeah , children of immigrants , children of immigrants .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Being children of immigrants and a single mom , like we didn't really have a choice but to worry about money . Yeah , like that's all it was . Like we were worried about our next meal and like we were't really have a choice but to worry about money . Yeah , like that's all it was . Like we were worried about our next meal and like we were well taken care of . You know , my mom did great as a single mom , but we still had to like especially her , like pick up the whole dad like thing , yeah , so basically we didn't have an option to be broke Like we had to make it work . And basically we didn't have an option to be broke like we had to make it work .
Speaker 2And yeah , it's kind of always been about money and getting your money up and doing we have to do to like survive , um . So when we refer to the dead friends , we are talking about the presidents on the money , the dead presidents on the money , um . But I feel like it's up into interpretation , like we always do our yet that was dead friends event in november , so it goes hand in hand with that , um . But yeah , I I just like to tell people like it's up into interpretation , because everyone takes it different ways and as much as I want to have a solid answer for you , like you know , yeah , I don't know some people like I've did .
Speaker 2I've done pop-ups in highland park where they're like I love the jersey , but that's really dark like you're talking about . Oh yeah , like it's very morbid and I'm just like it's . It's not that , like that's not what it is , but I like to hear that there's a different perspective to it . But I feel , like it's also on some if you know , you know shit , and if you don't know , then it's not for you .
Speaker 3Yeah , but I feel like nowadays , like if you don't know and you don't get it , then it's not for you ?
Speaker 2you don't need to buy it . No , don't say that I don't I just feel like people .
Speaker 3Um , if you take it in like the dark sense , like it's because you don't know us , because I feel like if you know us like .
Speaker 1You know that that's not what it is , you know , yeah I feel like I get you guys because , like the name of my podcast is , I'm being seriously and like that's not like a grammatically correct sentence but that's so you though , but get it yeah , and so like it's , it's I relate to that because it's like if you get it , you get it .
Speaker 1And like I've said my name , my podcast name , to people and they're just like , oh okay , and I'm like you don't get me , so I don't expect you to actually get the name of my podcast and it's like not for you anyway . So I mean , it could be if you want to listen to it , but like at the end of the day , like I like the way it sounds and like when I first started it , like that's what I liked about it and like it is what it is .
Speaker 2As long as you know what it means and you know what the meaning is behind it , like , I feel like that you can see it through the camera , you know .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Like you can see that that's you .
Speaker 1Yeah , and I feel like , since I know you , I'm like that's so , alexis , like also because , like I'm brand , I think I talk about like serious stuff sometimes , but I also like don't want to have a podcast where I'm just like constantly talking about like we're being serious about things and even if I am talking about something serious , like I definitely , in my personality , like I try to make it silly or funny in some way and I think that's just like because that's how I cope with like a lot of the just life , you know , and I feel like if you don't have like a sense of humor , then you're probably going to be really depressed in life .
Speaker 2Yeah , it's better we laugh at everything over here .
Speaker 1Yeah , and and I feel like that's kind of like maybe the same with you guys in a way , like I think like people have to get it and if they don't , then like they're not . Yeah , you know , and I feel like if you know us , you get it yeah that makes sense like if you don't know us just ask and we'll let you know .
Speaker 2yeah , we really don't know how to shut up , so we'll tell you about it .
Speaker 1And so okay , what cause are you raising funds for
Planning the Hot Girls Hate ICE Event
Speaker 1with your next event ?
Speaker 3So we're basically raising money for vendors and families that have been impacted by ICE and the recent ICE raids in LA . So it is something that I think we all feel really strongly about . It's personal , yeah , yeah , it's personal . Um , we just , I think we all just want to do whatever we can um with the resources that we have , um to raise money , and this is what we can do on our end . And , yeah , I also feel like um .
Speaker 2I also feel like we're all like first gen , so we've seen first hand what it is and we've lived with the fear of our parents being deported and our grandpa was a raspado man , like your local raspado man . It's definitely personal . So I think the intention behind it is to raise money for the vendors that are either too afraid to come out or families that maybe lost their parents , lost one parent , and need the assistance . We all kind of shop local , so we know a lot of vendors that like need the help . So I feel like it's something that came natural to us in a sense . I knew it when I hit on my best friend like let's collab . It was never going to be a no , like I knew that for sure and I think we make a great team for sure . So I think it's something we just have to do , like there's no way , like we were going to not do anything about the whole situation and we're trying to make it like fun for everyone . I don't know , it has to work out .
Speaker 1How did you guys feel when all of this started happening ? Because I'm curious to know I haven't really talked to that many people outside of like I'm at about like how they feel about it and I'm curious to know , like how is that making you guys feel ? I mean , right now it's like on a temporary restraining order , so like things have kind of more or less like chilled out , kind of yeah but , um , you know , it's still just like a temporary thing .
Speaker 1So like these are bound to happen , especially with , like this president . So how did you guys feel when it was all happening ? I ?
Speaker 3think , for me , I'm like a very like empathetic person , so like even just seeing , like people getting dragged from places or like kids crying , I'm just like I would just sit there and cry too , because it's like it all boils down to , you know , just having basic human rights and there should be no reason that any person's being treated that way . So it's , it's hurt , it's hurtful to see because obviously , one , they're human and like two , they're people in our community . So , and they're human and like two , they're people in our community , so , and they're not here to like do any harm or , you know , they're just here to work . So to me it just , it's obviously like , it's just sad to see .
Speaker 2I think I had a lot of anger , like a lot of anger because still to this day , like I can't understand why . Yeah , like nothing that the media says , nothing that the president says or his administration makes sense to me . So , yeah , I would watch a lot of videos , like I would try not to even go on TikTok , because I feel like TikTok was a place for me to laugh and everything was so sad and like it's not like I was trying to block it out , but I feel like sometimes I needed that . I needed to block it out because it was like I would literally call my boyfriend like babe .
Speaker 2I just saw TikTok like and I would literally cry , like I feel like I feel everything through the camera , because I feel like that could be my uncle , that could be my dad , that could be my mom , like and you know as like lucky , like I feel that we are , that our parents got their like residency or citizenship , like it doesn't make me feel like anyone else deserves it at all . Um , but I feel like the one word I could use is like anger . I felt so much anger , so much hatred like towards , like the people that were doing it . You know , um , I couldn't understand , and I also felt guilt , that I was just as brown as them and I wasn't scared .
Speaker 3I was scared , I was so scared , you were so scared . No , she was so scared , I was so scared .
Speaker 2You were so scared . No , she was so scared . I was so scared Because she was like like she's like okay , it doesn't matter to me , but like she's the most one-night-out of all of us . So she was like I don't want to do this , I don't want to do that Because , like dude , like it wasn't like just to be talking to me but I'm just like what the fuck like .
Speaker 2It's that fucking serious , you know so , yeah , it's that serious for me . I felt anger , rage and sadness all at once , because it was just so sad to see everyone going through it and it was just like if it would have been just a few years beforehand , like it could have been our family too , and like even some of our family , they're still like they have to be careful , like they have to be low-key , like , and it's just like there's so many and it like , right now that this president is here , like all of these deal I love that we're not naming him fucking all of these deal races are like coming to light and they're like doing all this crazy shit and it's just like , dude , like you guys were always like that , it's just this trump is here , that you guys are like coming to light for you not to be able to live your life in , like you know , this free country , like it's really sad , like it makes you feel sick and I was like feeling depressed .
Speaker 1And then like seeing my parents like be a little depressed too about it is just like really heartbreaking , because I get to see all that stuff on social media and it's like you know , in front of your face . But for my parents to get like depressed about all of like what's going on , like I feel like it felt , it felt heavier .
Speaker 2Yeah , you know it must feel crazy because , like you , came to this country for the american dream and now you're like , now you have to be extra careful here too .
Speaker 1Like yeah , it's just like now , it's it kind of feels like kind of for what you know yeah , and like there was parts of me .
Speaker 1I try not to like stick with this mentality of feeling like hopeless , but there were parts of me earlier this year that I would say like I'm just like fuck , there's literally nothing we can do . And I know it's like , yes , you can activate , yes , you can donate , you can do all these things to help out , but at the end of the day , like with this federal government , like there's literally no stopping them . You know it feels like that way at least .
Speaker 2They have so much power , not even just that . I feel like , even then , like arguing with the Trumpy is like arguing with the wall . Yeah , there's like no point Arguing with the wall or arguing with the drunk person like they just , even if they can understand , they don't want to .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2So and it's just crazy because it's like they talk about like oh , you guys are the sheep , but it's like , really , you're the sheep baby , like you're the fucking sheep baby , like you're the sheep bitch .
Speaker 1You , you're the sheep , you're being a bitch , but yeah , or I definitely feel like a lot of people have been like changing their minds about our president . Now that it's now that it's affecting them personally and you know how do you guys feel this is like another hot take . But like , how do you guys feel about latinos for trump ?
Speaker 3because that so stupid that fucking pisses me off so stupid , it just doesn't make sense because they hate themselves a lot of them could say , well , we didn't know this was gonna happen . He told us , literally , he told us at all of his little rallies that he was gonna deport you . Yep , he told you , um , but he you knew it wasn't clocking to you . But now it's kind of like I can't't even be like , okay , well , you know , she didn't know or he didn't know .
Speaker 2Like you knew .
Speaker 3Yeah , everybody tried to warn you , because I feel like we all have like I mean , it sucks , but like we all have like a family member that probably did , and you try to like educate them and they're like no , no , no , that's not , I'm like but , but here are the facts and you're still going to tell me no . Then , ok , then I don't really know what else to tell you ?
Speaker 2They're not getting that , they're not part of the 1% Right , it's not going to benefit you . I had a classmate .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2And and I'm not going to say your name ,
Reactions to ICE Raids
Speaker 2this girl , to say your name , this girl very trumpy , very like for trump , right , I guess exactly . But come the raids she's posting about , oh , can you guys support my tia ? She's struggling after the raids . Oh girl , no , yeah , she blocked us after selma said something about like it's crazy that you're a trumpy and now you want to support your Tia's business . She wasn't even the only Trumpy that was doing that , it was just the jacket . The shoes just fit yeah the shoes just fit .
Speaker 2Yeah , she wasn't the only Trumpy doing that and it's crazy because , like , if you see her family and her husband like girl , why you don't have to tell me your race for me to know your race you know , and it's not even about that , but it's more like don't do that , don't do that .
Speaker 1Why do you guys think , like there was so many latinos for trump this like past election a ?
Speaker 2lot of ignorance , a lot of like lack of education , a lot of religion yeah , a lot of christians like all because they're pro-life and all that . But it's like girl , like there would be a lot less drama if a lot of women just had their own choice , were able to abort or even regardless , with or without that , like yeah , but you , you can't be like pro-life and then be okay with little kids being taken away from their families and put into cages , but you're pro-life .
Speaker 2Or even the kids being bombed on the other side of the world . I feel like it's a lot of ignorance .
Speaker 1I agree , and it was just like mind-blowing for me to see how many Latinos for Trump not only Latinos for Trump , but like black men also so I was looking at the statistics of it , so predominantly the Latinos for Trump were predominantly men , like male Latinos and black men , and so I kind of like started looking into more of that and it just like it started to click . So I don't know if you guys know , but a lot of Latinas and black women are starting to surpass , like Latinos and black men , so they're surpassing financially in education men , so they're surpassing financially in education , entrepreneurship , like everything . And so what did what we're really kind of looking at , if you like , dissect it and look into it a little more ? It's more of like these men are starting to squirm because they don't know where they fit in their masculine masculinity . Yeah , they don't know what to do ?
Speaker 1they don't fit and so they don't know what to do about it . So they tend to gravitate towards like these institutions , like maga and church , like religion and stuff like that . These like bro podcasts and like clicks guys oh my , exactly those type of guys .
Speaker 1They tend to gravitate towards groups like that , because those type of groups are still holding on to traditional roles where the woman is beneath them . That's kind of what happened in this election of just seeing people of color that were voting for Trump and it's like really sad to see because women are just like becoming more empowered and they're figuring out that they can like do shit without men .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 1And these men like don't know what to do about it , and so instead of , like you know them , getting an education , or like going to therapy and like figuring shit out , they're going to like maga , they're going to church , like thinking that like that's actually gonna save them or help them another dumbass that agrees with me yeah , what ?
Speaker 1and like all those like groups they tend to like see , like you know , they're anti-abortion because they just want to like procreate and like have their seat everywhere and like , like shit , like that Isn't that just spreading their seat Right .
Speaker 1And so like that's what I was looking at when I saw just like this election and there are like plenty of ignorant , like Latinas , and I feel like I can only speak for like my culture . But I saw that too and I'm like starting to see that a lot of those women that did vote for Trump are also like those are like the biggest pick me girls you know what I ? Mean yeah they're pygmies so yeah , there's a bunch of pygmies that were voting for Trump .
Speaker 1I love the way you put it in the sentence and so I was just like yeah , when you look at what a pick-me-up is , it's for sure those women that voted for Trump , especially the Latinas that voted for Trump Something about it just stings more that it's a Latino person for me . I don't know why , I don't know if you guys have the same feelings .
Speaker 2I feel like it could be you tomorrow . Like , whatever you feel , ice doesn't give a fuck . They might drag you tomorrow . Like you're not safe , especially when you look like me . Like you can't tell me that Trump loves you , not even just that . But they should already know better from all the machismo that we deal with in our culture already . So it's like , yeah , like we do want our men to be a little macho , but like not to the extreme where , like they want to put you down and like you can't even drive a car , you can't like do anything , you can't have a job , like , um , for some people it does , because we still know some people that , like they still don't drive , they still you know . Like they still stay home , they still you know . So , um , for some people it does , but it's just like we should know better because our culture has already suffered from that and even though we have a lot of machistas , like women still run shit .
Speaker 1Basically , like we still run shit , like it's just that , like they kind of manipulate you men into thinking that you do so I agree with that completely in the sense where I think in our culture , latina women tend to run shit but they're like like how you're saying like behind the scenes ? Yeah , they're behind the scenes and they don't want to be like given the credit for it . They'd rather , because they know their man has like a sensitive ego , they'd rather give that credit to the man and be humble about it . So that's why you should stop being humble , because you need to give yourself .
Speaker 1You need to give yourself more credit , and you need to be more empowered , and I'm saying this , but I also do the same thing as you like , I'm like oh , I guess yeah it's my little podcast .
Speaker 3Yeah , I think , if you like it , I'll do that you know you grow up in that lifestyle and like you know you grow up kind of not like dimming your light , but for sure , I think you are .
Speaker 3Yeah , you know kind of ,
Latinos for Trump Debate
Speaker 3and to me it's not even like oh you know , my mom or my dad told me not to like be a certain way or anything like that . But I think that growing up in like a Mexican like community , you kind of see maybe not your direct parents , but like you see how your other families operate , and it's kind of like okay , well , like I'm gonna be very humble about it and like , very like you know , don't do too much , because then you're doing too much , yeah , so , and I think in our culture for sure , like at least in my family and I've seen , like friends , similar situation .
Speaker 1the women in the family kind of ingrained that in the girl , the little girls that are being raised they ingrain that in the little girls that are being raised they ingrain that to stay humble , to not like feel empowered , to not have too much confidence because then you think you're all that and you think you're the shit .
Speaker 2Yeah , and you think you're better than everybody . But I'm that bitch dad Like what .
Speaker 1And so a lot of it . You know it's very cultural and I think it goes cultural and I think it goes like I think it looks cute at the bottom . At the bottom , yeah , yeah , it looks good .
Speaker 2Um , a lot of that is very cultural and like , I think men are to blame for it , but also the women that are being , that are raising kids are also to blame I do have one thing to say about that , because my mom would always be like no , like you really have to , like let them think that and I'm like mom , they can't be that dumb . I would always like I would , because she would try to tell me that men were just really dumb and you just kind of have to let them think like yeah , and I'm just like mom , like I had hope for them , I was like they can't be that dumb , but then I realized they were that dumb and I was like , oh my God , she was right . Like they were that dumb , like we kind of do have to like let them think that they are running the show , but like baby boy , really it's us , you know , like it was really you , babe , yeah .
Speaker 2Because they have like a really big soft ego . Why is that our problem , right , big soft ego ? Why is that our problem , right ? Let me tell you why it's your problem because it's their , it's their job to protect and they're not going to want to do that . Provide and protect , and they're not going to want to do that . If , like you bring their , you break their ego down , that's a good point . But okay , sometimes I feel like I'm not intentionally breaking your ego , not you , baby . Talking about other people , yeah , other people , just men in general in my life , my uncles , everything . Like I don't mean to break your ego , but if you could do better , yeah , like , why are you mad that I'm doing better than you ? Catch up , like I'm not doing better to break your ego , I'm doing better for myself and if that makes you feel some type of way , that's a you problem .
Speaker 1Doing better to break your ego , I'm doing better for myself and if that makes you feel some type of way that's a you problem , like have you ever had men in your life that feel threatened by you ? Or like jealous of you ?
Speaker 2bitch . He wanted to be me . Yes , oh my god , I definitely have experienced that and it feels ugly yeah right when you're like why the fuck ?
Speaker 1first of all , I have to I've , I've yeah , first of all . I've dealt with with competing with girls my whole life and now a fucking grown man is trying to compete with me , and I never let the girls even compete .
Speaker 2You're not even my friend if you're trying to compete , that's weird . Because we could both be great , even if we're doing the same thing , the same , even if we have the same business . And you're doing good and I'm doing good . Baby girl , good shit like good for you you know there's enough . But competing with a man is a whole different thing , because
Gender Dynamics in Latino Culture
Speaker 2they won't even admit that they're competing with you yeah it's like this world is actually like designed for you to succeed .
Speaker 1It's not designed for me to succeed we could both , why are we ?
Speaker 2competing yeah yeah but I feel like if I like , if I don't know , I can't speak because I'm not a man but at the same time , like if I was a man and my girl was doing better than me , that would that would hype me up , like that would make me feel like , okay , I need to do better yeah it would never make me feel like , fuck , she's doing better than me . Not like as a girl . Yeah , because I'm not a man for real .
Speaker 2Yeah , I forget that I'll be forgetting they're supposed to take care of us , provide for you know like they're supposed to take care of us , provide for us . Sorry girl , I'm just a baby , but yeah . So I feel like they just think that , like they're less than if they don't do all that . But it's like baby boy , we can come up together and take care of each other . But like you don't want to do that .
Speaker 3I don't know if it's just for people .
Speaker 2But like I would never admit to feeling less than you , I would just do better without telling you that I feel less than , If that makes sense . I feel like if I love him enough , I'll probably tell him , but that hasn't happened yet .
Speaker 1I don't know how to feel . I feel like that's healthy though , like you mentioned . Like because maybe sometimes , if we say it out loud , it's not actually what we mean , or feel maybe we just sometimes you can have a friend , or I mean you should have friends where you're like they're better than me .
Speaker 2I want to be up there with them you know and not in like not like in a competitive way , but almost like for like your development , as in like bettering yourself you know , I also feel like you can be good at everything , like there's a lot of things that I might fucking suck at . That she's amazing at yeah and to me it's more like okay , let's work together yeah I'm not gonna be like I hate you because you're so good at doing this . I'm going to be like , look , maybe you suck at this and I suck at that . Let's join forces and we'll be amazing together .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2It's never about like I'm not going to sit here and be jealous that she can make a reel 10 times better than me . Yeah , because it's crazy , because a reel seems so easy and I think I'm doing great , and then she does it and I'm like , fuck yeah , like that's exactly what I was missing . So to me it's more like dude , like we need each other . Let's do that , because I'm not going to sit back and be jealous about it .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's okay . That doesn't help anybody , yeah , and I feel like you learn from it .
Speaker 2Like if I ever , if she's ever too busy and I have to do the reel , she's already shown me , like , what to fix , and I'm not afraid to ask questions , like I'm very like , hey , how'd you do that ? Like , what app did you use , you know ? And I also feel that it helps that she's not like holding back from teaching me , because there is people that are like I'll just do it for you .
Speaker 2I don't want to teach you . Yeah , you know I want to be that . I want to be that person that does that . Like maybe I shouldn't teach you because you're going to do better without me .
Speaker 1That's not where it is with our friendship that's like super healthy yeah that's super healthy , like 13 years maybe , and I think I think that also makes like strong leaders in people , when they can accept and realize that they can't be good at everything and they recognize people's strengths and they recognize their own weaknesses , you know .
Speaker 2Yeah , I feel like , as a leader , you should be open to being led .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Because you're not going to be 100% everything All the time .
Speaker 1Not at all .
Speaker 2As much as I want to be great at everything I do , there's no way .
Speaker 1Yeah , not at all . As much as I want to be great at everything I do . There's no way . Yeah , so tell me about the challenges you guys have had , uh , planning this event and how . When did you first start this event ? Or like the idea , like when did it start ? Like June ?
Speaker 2two months back , right yeah in June we started in June . The girls brought it up , of course , thank you . Thank you for the positive reinforcement .
Speaker 3Yeah , we started in June and I think we started in June and obviously we kind of just brought up the idea like let's do a fundraiser , let's , let's collab on this . Um , I think for me , like the sore points of this has probably been , like you know I , when you do social media , there's obviously right now things are being monetized . So even the word ice on things , or hate , um , it's been monetized a lot so it reduces like the traction from the views . So on a regular basis , where one reel or one post would get like I don't know , a thousand views , we're getting like 200 because we're using the word eight in it . So , or ice , because right now they're really restricting those words even if you use code words yeah , even if you use code .
Speaker 3I feel like at this point it's just frustrating , because it's like at this point , no matter what I post on my own social media , like it's not moving , like it's , it's getting at like a 200 300 view max and it stops and and her content is really good .
Speaker 3Do not say pretty , it's amazing no , but it's just to you know , like when they're pushing it , compared to what they're pushing it like yeah , so like tiktok is fairly like generous with how quickly it spreads the words , like spreads the word on things , but I've noticed that with this specifically I don't know if it's the word ice , I don't know if it's a word hate , but it's being like completely monetized and and reach , demonetized , sorry . And I've reached out to like other you know content creators and stuff like that , like hey , can you help us just spread the word , just even reposting it , you know , just getting the word out there , and they're like , oh my god , yeah , like no worries , no worries . But even with that and these are people with thousands of followers , even with that , my it's not moving , it's staying at a steady 300 . So I'm like , I'm just so confused . I'm like tiktok , why do you ?
Speaker 3hate me now but yeah , to me that's the most frustrating part because I'm the one that does like this , like the , the reels and stuff like that . So it's just kind of like what am I doing wrong ? Like what is like I'm doing everything that I've done before , like why is it not moving ? But obviously we have our posts that you know do move . But I think in those we have to like all collab in them for them to move a little more . And mainly DFLA because they're DFLA is the one with the largest . Are you DFLA ? Dfla is the one with the largest . Or you CFL ? Dfl is the one with the largest following . So that one gets . If that's being collabed with , then it's going to be higher views . But like anything , just like well , if we're going to do individual things , like it's just not moving , I don't know what it is .
Speaker 2Yeah , I think too it's like not discouraging , but yeah , in a not discouraging , but yeah , in a sense discouraging , where , like your own people , your own friends , your own family , like and I feel like you cannot . I feel like Selma taught me like cause I used to get real salty , like real salty when my family wouldn't like repost our brand or like even shop there , like anything you know , and I feel like she taught me like not like it's not that serious , but also like you can't expect for that . Um , we've definitely learned that it's the strangers that are going to support , and it's it's always the strangers in my dms talking about like you guys are doing great and I'm just like oh my god , you're watching like what isn't so cute yes , girl , even your .
Speaker 2The last podcast we did with you there were so many people that like I wouldn't even think are watching . Yeah , and we're so like , oh my god , that was so funny . Like do it again . Yeah , and I was like what like ? But I take that to heart . I still take it to heart because I feel like the three of us are very support , supportive in the community in general . Like , even though we have a streetwear brand , we were post other streetwear brands . Like even though we have a nail studio with facial lashes and everything , we repost other studios in the neighborhood . Like we're not afraid to show love . So I feel like a little part of my brain is like why aren't you showing love back ?
Speaker 2yeah , you know and of course , there's the people that do um . But I still have a difficult time understanding and I'm trying to get over it because I'm just going to take love from wherever it comes from .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2But I also feel like damn , like , yeah , I'm giving you you wish it was that way and I don't do it . I don't show love to get it back at all . I just feel like , because you're doing that , like and it's a priority for you , like for a lot of people it's not a priority , so like you can't really hate them for it . And another thing like not everyone is gonna , not everyone is gonna need or want your product , so you can't expect them to like always like purchase or support , if that makes sense . Okay , I get that part , I get that part a lot . But there's brands that like maybe I don't want to buy any of your product , but I respect your hustle and I get it .
Speaker 2I get what you're saying like they don't need to reciprocate it . I don't do . I don't show love for them to do it back . That's never my intention , yeah , but there's a part of me that still feels like damn , why not ?
Speaker 3you don't have to buy my shirt .
Speaker 2I tell you why no wait , you don't have to buy my shirt . But how does it tell you why ? No wait , you don't have to buy my shirt . But how does it affect you by reposting it ? Let me tell you why you could hate all of our clothes , but like I'm here for you , Show love back . It's because we believe that the sun shines for everybody , but not everybody believes the same . Oh my God , I'm so poetic .
Speaker 3God , I'm so poetic , I know .
Speaker 1Yes , I agree with what you're saying , selma . I also resonate with what you're saying , diana , because , like I experience the same shit , you know , and even in the beginning I was like you know , I thought this person loved me , you know , like you don't have to listen to my episode , but can you at least like , like it or repost it or something , because how hard is that Exactly ? And so I completely feel what you guys feel , because and I felt it in this podcast I felt it doing events for the community , like I felt it in this podcast . I felt it doing events for the community , like I felt it in anything I've tried to do for myself . I felt it like completely and I'm just like , why doesn't this person want to support me with my podcast , especially like I've seen the comments or responses and it's from , like people I don't even know .
Speaker 2Yeah , people you've never met , yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , and so I'm just like I get and I think this is something that I'm still like digesting too is that , like these people that you expect to be your people are not your people , you know , and I don't say that in a way to like be salty and like hold a grudge on those people , but like you're gonna create your own tribe , and it's likely gonna be from people that you don't even know and people that are looking for you and your brand , you know , and so I think , like with me , that's kind of the same thing . It's like I guess I'm gonna resonate with some people that I just don't know , and that's actually probably better anyway yeah , you know .
Speaker 1So , um , yeah , like those are some challenges I've experienced , just like in this podcast , and like it's just it's it is a tough pill to swallow for sure , yeah , I don't want to feel that . I know .
Speaker 2It's not like I want to feel any hatred or I don't want to feel salty about it at all , because I feel like people are just living their lives .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Like maybe she wanted to repose but she's fucking sad , or maybe , you know , like I don't know , I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt .
Speaker 1Yeah , you know like .
Speaker 2I don't know . I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt . Yeah , but then she's in all my comments , you know , and I can't like . There's no way I have a friend like this and you can't do it Like yeah , you know you know what I mean . Another thing is they don't have to like we can't expect them to . They don't have to , we can't expect them to . It's not their job . We don't pay them to do so , so like Okay , but I want you to understand .
Speaker 3What I want you to understand is that I get you .
Speaker 2I understand and I understand what you're saying , but I get them too . I don't get them . But I get them . No , okay , I completely get them . Like I've come to like that I knew in the past and like they're promoting something and it's just like I would never buy that . So I'm not going to repost it . Should they hate me for it ? No , no , that's not what I'm saying . Like I literally just said , I don't repost it . Okay , I just feel like it's not that hard to show love , it's not . But but I think you're misunderstanding . Like I don't hate them , I don't think they owe me anything .
Speaker 3You're right , I know you don't hate them .
Speaker 2Yeah , I think my point is . I just don't take it personal , because you don't take anything personal I feel like I'm definitely more of an empath . I'm definitely like I feel like someone's very like , so what ?
Speaker 1and I'm just like no bitch for you guys , because it'll it like balances .
Speaker 2You guys , I'm an empath too , in the sense that , like she'll tell me a story and I'll cry , and I don't even know these people and I'll cry , but I'm not gonna be like , oh , you don't love my brand , no , that's not which is not what my sister's doing or saying but it's just like oh , you don't want to post it Like okay , someone else will , that's just how I feel Okay , but that's a better way to explain it .
Speaker 3That's how I feel too .
Speaker 2But I feel like , okay , respectfully , I feel like I'm more of an empath , because you don't edit flyers , like you don't put in that work where you're like , oh , like , this photo shoot took me hours , like it hurts that you're not liking it .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2She's like as much as she's like part of the brand and she's my sister , she's my like partner and everything Like we do the social media .
Speaker 1Yeah , Like I do the photo shoot she edit , which is really fucking hard .
Speaker 2The social media part is so
Social Media Marketing Challenges
Speaker 2hard when I'm spending hours with the model looking for poses and and putting your fit together and adding jewelry and this is in that yeah , shoes , everything , um , spending my entire day doing it and then I get 30 likes . Of course it's gonna hurt more than like if you're just behind the scenes , not , that's , you know , not doing that part of it capitalism . We just have to do better oh my god no me do better than I think it's .
Speaker 3It's also just natural , right , we're human and it's always that instant where it's like obviously your first reaction is gonna be like damn , like nobody wants to like this , or what like I work so hard on it . I'm like , I'm like no , do you know ? I spent like five hours on this . Please can you like it ?
Speaker 2um , but obviously after some time , the shit that cracks me up is when I post something and then somebody unfollow .
Speaker 3Yeah I don't think I've ever noticed anybody un well . I'm sure it's happened , yeah , but I've never noticed an unfollow , have you ? Yeah , I almost wanted to cry one time because I posted my story .
Speaker 2I was like , oh my god , I've been doing the social media shit and I finally hit a thousand . Yeah , and then four people won't follow me , like bitch . I'm back to 996 , like heady as fuck . They're like not no more .
Speaker 1I'm like damn , I'm like you should have told me I would have created four new pages right there yeah , that's hilarious , yeah , that shit's real and that shit happens to anybody that's trying to like do something for themselves . And it's like the people that are like the haters that there are not doing something for themselves , that are like no , I'm not gonna yeah , that's just so ugly .
Speaker 1But I get what you're saying , dana , because , like , for me , a lot of your guys's events is like on a Saturday or Sunday and I can't make it . I live far as fuck . I work on the weekends like I can't , but I still like , like your stuff , I still like try to comment and things like that and you do , and so I get what you mean . That like , yeah , you don't expect it , but it would be nice if , like , the people you know can do that for you so there's literally people in my dms that'll be like oh my god , good shit , I'm watching you .
Speaker 2You do so much for the community , yeah , but in my head I'm like you've never liked a picture yeah like , and it's not a bad thing . Don't think I'm fucking hating , though , because my biggest op right here thinks I'm just a hater . But that's not my point , like . My point is like it's crazy , because you're dming me to tell me that you mess with our brand , that you encourage it and then you love what I'm doing . Yeah , but you've never double tapped , you've never commented .
Speaker 1Oh , so you mean like they're trying to like , do it low-key you know what I mean .
Speaker 2It's kind of like if I congratulate you on your podcast but I've never liked the post , I've never commented , so to me it's more like , and I'm not gonna tell you what to do . But to me it's more like , and I'm not going to tell you what to do , but to me it's more like , damn like , the way you can really show me that you mess with my . Whatever I'm doing is by liking it , because , unfortunately , engagement is the only thing that's going to help me . I'm not telling you to like my picture because I feel some type of way . If you don't , it's more like . If you like it , it really helps me . But if you like it , comment , comment , share it and save it . It does so much more for us . You get me , yeah , like it boosts it , yeah , and the faster that , like , let's say , the moment you post it , you message your friends . I just posted something and six of them like it .
Speaker 2it's gonna show even more people right like now . The algorithm is way different than how it was when Instagram first started , right ? I know , so it takes more for your stuff to get out there .
Speaker 1I feel like it's always changing too , so like what you're saying is like how you're doing things the same , but it's just like not getting traction . I feel like that's because , like the algorithm's like changing somehow .
Speaker 2Yeah , and the terms are changing and it's exhausting changing somehow .
Speaker 3Yeah , and the term and it's exhausting and I think it's it is I genuinely , and it's not just like me just wanting to feel this , but I feel like I've seen a lot of videos of , like , other people being like , oh , we're being super vocal about this and now our videos are not pushing through , so it's . It is frustrating because I mean , even if it's not like an anti-ice thing , it's like , okay , well , what I put all that effort into this and for what you know ? Um , but , yeah , I think I forgot how like difficult it is to build the social media from nothing right till I started doing like my business one , because I haven't had to start a new social media in forever . I mean , theirs was the first one . I mean , I have my social media , but I don't take mine too seriously . Like mine is just there , yeah , so I don't really do that for anything , really . But helping them was easier . What five years ago , 2019 ?
Speaker 3Eight years ago now , like six years ago , it was a lot easier to like get the word out there on social media or you know , liking , sharing and whatever so . But now I think it's harder , for whatever reason , and I'm trying to figure it out too , because I'm like what's going on , Like , and I sit there and I'm like nothing's working .
Speaker 1they do and I'm just like they do want you to do .
Speaker 3This is just becoming like a whole like scheme at this point , like I can't even post social media and have it go out . But I mean I feel like with time it'll .
Speaker 1I think for me , like with the podcast , it's it burnt me out so much with the social media part that I started to like get exhausted doing like the podcast .
Speaker 3Yeah , it's really discouraging and because it's so much work . Yeah , it is .
Speaker 1And not only that , but like I don't trust just anybody to do like my social media because like I don't want to be like gimmicky , like I don't like that .
Speaker 2That's like I don't want to be like gimmicky , like I don't like that . That's like not me . Or imagine you accidentally get canceled because someone posted the wrong thing .
Speaker 1That's true , that's also scary and like . Valid because like .
Speaker 2Sorry in advance .
Speaker 1I'm not making a career out of this . I don't know , I think I have like a problem where I don't want to fool , I have commitment issues first of all like same and so like I don't want to commit and put like my 100% into something because of like a fear that I'm just like gonna fail if I do that yeah , and so I , I mean , I don't know I I could do that , but I think I still have that fear is it like once you get , once it gets too serious , like you don't want to do it anymore , like no , I don't know .
Speaker 1I just like I probably have like a mixture of fears and also it's just like I fear rejection a lot . So if , if I do put a hundred percent in and it doesn't work out , then I feel like I'm a fucking like failure .
Speaker 2Yeah , you know you know what's crazy , I feel like a podcast for you is like the best thing you could have done , because even when you were my coworker at LA's best , like I never wanted you to shut up and and , honestly , like I can't talk to a lot of people for hours , but when you talked , like I wanted to listen , like genuinely , like I don't know if you remember the time that we went to Buffalo Wallowings it , it was me , you and Daisy but you and I wouldn't shut the fuck up when we went out , like I feel like that time that we went out together , like I really realized , like because I remember we bonded over being um , sociology , yeah I remember that , basically , I was like I love listening to this bitch talk , like so you having a podcast just makes sense , like I don't know what you're meant to do , you know , but this is amazing , like I feel like I will listen to you every day , oh Okay .
Speaker 1Yeah , I wish , like I had it in me to do . That's why , like I respect you guys and like I'm , like you guys are doing like 100% , you guys are committed already . You know . Let me know what we're doing .
Speaker 3Whatever you're doing .
Speaker 2Whatever you , whatever you're doing , yeah , amazing . When people ask me , I'm like we just be doing shit and we just figure it out on the go .
Speaker 1Yeah , girl , that's why like we're winging everything I think like that's why I reached out to you , diana , because I was like what the fuck is she doing ?
Speaker 2like I love it I'm all over the place .
Speaker 1I'm like I don't know and like you know , you you're posting about like your shop or something , and I was just like I want to know what you're doing because , like this sounds cool . So that's that's why , like it's intriguing to me and I like to see people doing things on their own , because I know what that feels like . You know , yeah , it's crazy and I can't say like a lot of people actually know what that feels like , because not a lot of people do things on their own because they're too scared .
Speaker 1So I might not be doing like a hundred percent , but like I'm still trying you know still doing great yeah , so figure it out from there and then lastly , why did you guys name it ?
Speaker 2hot girls hate ice because we're hotties and we hate guys .
Event Details and Call to Action
Speaker 2That is not the reason . So I had contacted Denise and I was like I had been pushing her to do her her jewelry yeah , because she wanted to for years . Yeah , but she just wasn't doing it and it's not . It's not her slacking , I understand her . It's scary , I feel like . For me , maybe starting the brand was a little less scary because I had my sister by my side , so if I was slacking , she was going to pick up the slack and vice versa . So I get her . But we were talking about her building her brand and then I was like , dude , do it , and then we'll collab on the next event . Because we had done a fundraiser with Silk and Sugar , which is some other girls in the community that throw events , and they had done for the community .
Speaker 2Um , some other girls in the community that throw events , um , and they had done for the community and they had thrown an event where it was anti-ice and we were a part of it . Um , we have them hosted our storm and I feel like that was very like encouraging . Um , it originally wasn't going to be that until their ice rates started happening and then they , they turned it into an anti-icing . Um , and yeah , that was very encouraging . Um , we spoke to them a little bit about like hey , we've never done events that they had to pay to come in for . You know , like , how do you do it and how does it work .
Speaker 2You know , yeah , we were really scared about charging because all of our events have been free . But whatever , it worked out for them and I'm glad . But that kind of pushed us to like hey , like , maybe we can do something like that , you know . So I reached out to her and I was like hey , like , if you start your brand and we collab like DFL ATEM's LA link , I think it'd be a great like event . So we went from there and she had gone , she had actually gone to the protest . I didn't end up going with her , but she mentioned that she saw a sign that said something along those lines .
Speaker 3Right , it said like me and my home girls hate ice , or something like that and I sent her that , but she was like it's kind of long , and I was like okay , yeah , it is kind of long , and then she said hotties hate ice . So it's kind of like a breakdown of that hot girls hate ice .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , it's what it is um .
Speaker 3Anyone can identify as a hot girl yeah anyone can identify as a hot girl , for sure , and I think it makes it cute and like fun and like for girls to be like oh it makes it cute girly .
Speaker 2Yeah , initially the intention was definitely for it to be like again . Like we said , august was always our pussy power event , which was all female .
