I think you've just pointed to this same shirt. Too early? Let's reminisce. Pay attention to the title of the video and how that manifested in real life.
"This particular person, I stumbled upon when doing research for the original Pink Pill. She was a blogger and had an e-book. I bought the e-book, read it, and it thought it was very very good. I circled back to her and I said: listen, you have some really good ideas here, you're obviously very bright.
However, I feel like you are not reaching your potential. And this was after I had invited her to a private room and introduced her to my community and told them of the book that she had. Her book wasn't selling, there wasn't a lot of visitors to her blog. I told her, step by step, what to do. Not to take anything away,
I told her to stop selling the book and make it into a course. I told her to stop posting other women on her Instagram and make it solely about her glamour and elegance because she was enough.
I told her to start a YouTube channel. She went on to do all these things, and more. This is not to take away from her intelligence and hard work. She's very good at implementing the advice."
"But once she got to a certain level, she acted like she just woke up like that".
"I'm learning a lot after the fact, and as a whole, there were stuff that I learned later that I was privy to. I think there was a cultural element to how I was treated. I wanna be careful about how I approach this, but I think that certain cultures can have mentalities where its about getting what they want from other people. That is just a cornerstone of their survival, to use people for what they can get. Circumstances in their growing up required for them to behave a certain way, out of survival, or the culture."
"I would have to say that a word that comes to mind is disappointed. I was disappointed and it was very disheartening that a women, who I introduced to my community and gave advice to, used that information to elevate herself. But then would not publicly acknowledge the help from this black woman".
"I posted evidence of my experience because people wouldn't believe me. Her platform is so huge, people thought that I was the one that copied her. I wanted to disabuse the people who thought that assumption. We were having a phone conversation and she [Anna Bey] was complaining:
These black women, they ask me how to navigate elite society as a black woman. I'm not a black woman, I don't know, I don't know why they keep asking me these questions."
"I didn't say anything at the time, but I did write her a message that said: Hey, would you be willing to shout out to your women of color who are having trouble in this way to say that her friend cover a lot of this stuff. While I'm [Anna Bey] very good at this, she [Pink Pill] may be able to better help you with an experience that I cannot identify with. It doesn't take anything away from her to say that she [Anna Bey] doesn't know how a black woman navigates in elite society. However, she declined and said she didn't want to get into the race and political stuff."
The Pink Pill attempts at getting referrals or recognition a second time and this was Anna Bey's alleged response:
"When you are asking for recommendations, it's really not proper to tell people that what you're going to do. I need to speak to my business manager to see if this is going to be good for my brand. While you gave me good advice for an hour, I already had a marketing background and I've spoken to other very powerful people. I was already thinking about having a course and you told me to transform the course to be about how to be classy, but I made it about elegance and how to enter high society, so it's different".
because Anna is completely absent from all platforms.
