but up until the last day it was a beautiful,
beautiful house. Still it was a beautiful house. I had
my family and my friends there, my boyfriend at the
time and some of his family. It was a really
great experience. I got drunk and did a head stand

(04:37):
in the sand. Y'all can still see that. I feel
like I've seen that. Yeah, I can still see that
post on my Instagram. That was so funny. It was
my little sister was calling me Sandy the whole time
because I had to stand in my weave. I drank
a whole bottle of headanitsy privilege that day. That's how
you know you was having a good time. You didn't
care about the sand in the weave, my standing, my sewing. Yeah,

(04:58):
bar but yeah, I have to say that was my
my most favorite vacation. That was like for me, I'm
trying to get on that level. I'm trying to think
of places I've had like different levels of chips. I

I had scheduled my birthday party at Magic City the
same weekend that he scheduled his birthday trip. It was
that same trip, oh, because he had the penthouse. Remember
he had the penthouse. It was a lot going on. Yeah. Yeah.
I left and he replaced me with somebody else, and
my friend stayed and poured the caraffe of juice to
her head. So he replaced you. You know, damn well,

(06:22):
that girl came as my replacement because he thought that
I was doing something you would have got to this day.
I did not know that. I really thought that because
she said she only could stay for one day and
she was leaving right back out. Whatever. Oh my god, Okay,
well just by just by coincidence, the day I had
to leave was a day that she arrived. Why didn't
she come anyway, that's not talk about her. Okay, I
didn't even realize that. Okay, my bad, I'm so I

(06:44):

And I just want to say seeing Thomas Carnival is
coming up, and that was a when I tell you
that was a fun trip. Baby. Listen, you got your outfit,
not yet, but I just picked it. So we'll see
how that goes. They were so mad at me last
year because I was covered up. Ye girl, I did,
but it wasn't like listen like I want. I was likely.

(07:24):
I was Carnival modest. They want to see. Nobody's bullying
me into that. Okay, period, it's not happening. I don't
finish somebody lazy hair removal. But anyway, since Santana is here,
she's about to walk in so and listen. She know
had a lock on one, got a bag, got a baby,

(07:46):

oh my gosh, like we just popped in sint Santana
is here. Hey not the can kind. Well, first of all, haven't.
I haven't seen you on a podcast in a while,
so I'm glad you came to join us. But I've

(08:07):
seen you in real life, Yes you have. And I
just want to say I saw saying when she was
pregnant before the world knew, and I was at an
event and I was like, I was one of my
friends who's also a publicist, Kashawan, and we were looking
like that since Sintenna is she pregnant?

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, I was hiding and I was like, oh my god,
Angela's right there.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
The valley, and I was like I was still kind
of small, but I was showing a little bit. So
I was just holding on Jack.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Because I wasn't sure. I was like I don't know
that she is.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
And I was like, bye bye.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
But now that the cats out of the bag, I
saw you as Jeff Kwame was getting an award and
you were there. What was it that Gracie mansion. That
was a crazy night too, because I had some issues
happened that night with me? What happened someone else is
getting in a word that night and we had a
heated conversation in the corner in.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
That room where we were yeah, oh well, y'all's a
great Yeah, it was it.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I didn't everybody was like, what's going on over there?
But you were pregnant. You had your own things to
do with the jacket tight I was, and look, to
my credit, even though I walked out of there, I
was like, you know, we're not spilling no beans on nobody.
So until she put out the you know, the paper,
and then when and then when people found.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Out, I appreciate that, by the way, thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, of course I wouldn't do that. And then when
people found out you had a baby, everybody was speculating like, oh,
who's it? You know, whole thing.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
I don't know why, and I mean I get it.
We said see things and we're like interested. I was
just like, why are people so invested in who the father?
Not just my child?

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, like keep it moving.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
But people also didn't know who you were dating. They
didn't you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
People don't know anything about what I'm doing. And it
is because you.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Were on Love and Hip Hop. Your life was like
I'm blessed, and then now it's like private life.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
That's exactly why, though, Like I learned so much. I
was so young when I did Love and Hip Hop.
I did it for so long, and I made a
lot of mistakes on that show. I learned a lot
from it, right, I mean, we don't like same mistakes,
but I learned a lot from it, and I learned
not to put my important relationships like the world.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I'm done with that it's too much.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
And then things happen because life happens, and everybody want
to give an opinion.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
And it was just a lot. Life was already complicated,
you know.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
So I left reality television and I was like, I'm
staying nice in private. Yeah, and it's been incredible, Like
a private life really is a good life. Oh.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
By the way, I am not cursing for lent.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, that's what you gave up coffee because.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean, I know, but I do curse a lot.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Okay, and I got kids, and I have a daughter now,
and I mean she's a baby.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
She'd be like this. You know, she don't know what's
going on.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
But I want to go out to get the habit
out of Curson for every single thing.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
So yesterday I was in my room like.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
So today I'm today is feeling a little smoother.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Just letting y'all know. So if y'all while i'm speaking,
if y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Catch me, So, how did you get to this space now?
Like you know, we got to ask you some details,
and I do want to make sure before you have
to leave that we talk about a lot. Like first
of all, music, we love this new song to ask
you what it meant like in the actual lyrics because
it's in Spanish.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Okay, I wish we could play it.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Can we play it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:50):
We just play it real quick.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
I was like, okay, so that's actually how I got
to this place. I was like, once I finished love

(12:12):
and hip hop, I was like, you know what, I
want to focus on my real passion. I love television
and entertainment, but music is my passion it always has
been and performing. So I just got in the studio
and got with some writers and like started writing myself,
practicing my pen and I.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Started doing music.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
I started with R and B, but then my manager
was like, you should do some Spanish music.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
You would kill it. You're Dominican, and I was like,
I was.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Like, yeah, what am I doing? Like Spanish is my
first language. But growing up in New York, you know,
I was so influenced.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
By hip hop R and B.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
So I started with R and B, but then I
went towards Latin music, and honestly it changed my life
because like I started getting booked for festivals and I
really learned what I love, which was performing.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
And you had millions of views on your videos.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
And that was organically. I was so proud of that.
I was like, oh my god, the people are messing
with me. This is so hard.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Now the people really love you.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
The people are messing with my music. Last week, they're
really rocking with a girl with a girl.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
So I stopped the reality TV to focus on well. Also,
love and hip hop was taking too long in New York.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
And they and they wasn't about to highlight your music
for real.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
No, of course, now they'll be like, yeah, we'll do it,
and then you get you're in the studio and then
two exes walking, I'm like my music, No, I want
to focus on my music. So once I decided to
do that, I was just like, you know what, I
kind of like the quiet life and just focusing on
what I really want to do. So that's how I
got to this place where I'm like private quiet if

(13:59):
you know, know, you.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Know, but when the music come out, you're going to
be back outside though. Now it's time.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Well yeah, so look I was locked in and then
I met my man, and then I got pregnant, and
I was like, okay, I guess I got God I
got to do mommy stuff right now.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
But I'm back.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I'm back locked in. It's over when I dropped.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
This, all right, So let's back up for a second.
So you mentioned men, how did that happen? Now? For
people who don't know, Chef Quame has like the number one,
the number one restaurant in the nation, Tatianas, and that
is my spot. I love Tatianas, and Chef Quime is
a great person.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I think it's everybody's for honestly, how.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Many people call you and ask you for reservations? Too many?

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, that's that's when I came. She like me, that's
that is not my place. I'll keep that closed, you know.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
But honestly, that story is too beautiful. I don't want
to tell her. I want to write a book on it.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Really. Yeah, it was like that because you're both from
the Bronx.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah from well, I'm from Dykman right across for them though, right, Okay,
it's funny because like that's part of the reason why
me and him like really connected to because we're from
the Uptown area. Very if he just felt very familiar,
you know, And.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
But the story is so beautiful and it really is
like a love story.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I love it for you.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I wouldn't do no justice. I gotta like really lay this.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's like another song.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
It do feel like another song the whole I feel
like after the songer e now Spanish love songs spanaged
love them bo. We haven't had that yet. I might.
I might mess around with that.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
And then and then you can have the name of
it sounds like a menu, like a food menu.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Y'all, y'all get y'all get a creative. Now y'all getting.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Created marketing player.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
We talk after this.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I gotta come to coffee up lifts people, because you
love coffee. Coffee's that's the whole thing, all right. So
that happened. You got pregnant and you said, Okay, now
I gotta like wait a minute.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
And yeah, well of course, because oh my god.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
And it was so hard because I was so used
to doing a million and one things. You know, my son,
like I got I he's seven now, so I already had.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
A schedule for him. I was situated. I used to
fly every week into Miami to record. That's what I
record my music.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Wow, that not a joke, It's not you know what
it was.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
I spent two years looking for why am I talking
to the mic like I'm not loud enough? I spent
two years looking for, like my family, just the people
that would make the music. Yeah, make me feel comfortable,
because like being on the booth is very scary, Yeah,
you know, vulnerable.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, like you're making mistakes, you're not sure.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
You gotta take feedback to Sometimes it could feel like
oh my.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
God, yes, I guess redundant as heck, and like you know,
you haven't watched a video of yourself and you're like,
stop playing. And it's funny because y'all do the podcast, right,
y'all got to hear yourselves every week or.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh my god. I hate when I get into uber
and I hear my voice and a commercials.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
And you are not a way out.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
I love.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
So imagine like doing music like I don't. I can't hear.
I like, don't play my song. I don't want to
hear myself.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's so good that we love it. I'm not gonna lie.
It sounds good and I think that was my that
was my earlier. I love that because you know, sometimes
people should be trash and we be like we definitely
be like, okay, I think this.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Like no, that's one thing I was like, I could
never do trash, like I just can't.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
And if it is like it's going into trash, I
can't do.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Who is your music family?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
I work with Playing Skills.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
I love them.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, they're really great. They we met through my manager.
We had we had people.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Mutual friends and they took a meeting with me, which
I was like honored, right because they work with like
big artists and I'm a big artist. Well, the world
don't know it yet.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Hello.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
I'm an independent artist though, so that is hard to
like get in these rooms, you know, because like it's.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Just more work, more more risk.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
And they sat with me and they were like, you
know what, they liked my energy. We we had synergy,
and we got in the booth and the first song
we did it was.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
And then we locked.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
In the whole week studio sessions and then this is
one of the songs we did. Yes, it's set the
tone for so how many songs did you do with them?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, it's so fun.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Oh, I have like a whole album worth of music
with them by now, that's great.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Before them, though, I was I was working in a
studio in the Bronx with an independent producer and like
we had good energy, but it was the no and
I was like, I can't keep one of the brons,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Mimi like, yeah, it was it was it was in
the hood.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
If he if he listen to this, I'm not going
to say his name. I love him. We've made great
music together.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
He did my first single, but it wasn't the Hood,
and I just didn't, you know, I didn't really I'm
a lady.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
You know, like you know how they like here for
the woman. I was like, I can't.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
I'm in the boof like doing all this greatness and
then I gotta come out like with my manager and
you know what I'm.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Saying, I can't.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
I can't feel scared after feeling hot and chemistry and
synergy and all of the atmosphere, all that matters when.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
You one million percent working in the arts.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
I would be like in the wolf like like what
was that?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
What was what was a gunshot or a firework making beats?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I was like, oh, don't do that drum.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
You know what the studio life is late night?

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, yeah, five, I'll be like I got two hours, Like,
I can't work like that.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Even when you came in here, it was really hard
for you because you're like, I want to see my daughter.
I just want to get home to my daughter. How
is that like? Because and did you experience any I know,
I feel like you've written about postpartum and going through that,
So talk to us about that because I think that's
something that I love when people are open and honest
about it.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
So, like I mentioned earlier, it's been really hard because
I was so used to like moving and shaken, but
I have I'm just I'm obsessed with my daughter. I
think I think part of it was I wasn't really
planning to have more kids anytime soon, so you know,
I see her as a as a.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Gift, and she's just so delicious. So when I'm outside,
I'm thankful and grateful.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
I love working, I love being with incredible people, but
I'm like, okay, yeah, my by, Like I can't wait
to get home and kiss on her and make her
lie and watch or do nothing.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's the best.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
But so postpartum depression. I'm glad that you mentioned that
because that is definitely a topic. I feel like we've
spoken about it more as a lady, but like it's
such a broad thing that a lot of people don't understand,
even professionals. I don't want to dive too deep into
it because I will get emotional, but it's just something

(21:26):
that's real. It's very real, and I dealt with it,
for sure. I'm still dealing with it. But I'm I
think part of it too, is like doing things for
yourself and now that I'm like tapping back into my
craft and you know, going back out.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
So I told you when we.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Had dinner, like, I'm just going outside for a little bit,
doing things for me.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
We went to a movie screening that was hilarious.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
That was so much fun movie. Yeah, it was so
much fun.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Even that, you know, like reaching out to your girl
and like going out a cup of coffee or drink
or some fried zucchini chip.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
You're not, but it's definitely.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Real, and it's I think that a lot of women
are ashamed to talk about it, like you feel shame.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
I did. You know.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
That's part of the reason why I went on my
social media with it, because I was like, I want
to be really loud about this, and I just don't
want to be out.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
A lot of people see things like that like, oh
she wants attention, Well maybe I do. Maybe we do
want attention.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
We need we need help.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
But it's really just to build a community. That's why
I did.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
And of course a lot of moms reached out and
I have I have a DM with like a lot
of moms that I know.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
We just throw things in there, funny memes. It's it's city,
but like, you know, the hell, it's a community. Yeah,
it's a community.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
So I'm working on it, you know, I'm in therapy
focused on that, and I'm writing.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
And you've been working about you've been working at non statu.
I am and I am.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Training for whatever wars.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Like nobody's business, but that's part of I feel like
the gym is so helpful therapeutic. While I'm in it,
it's tough, but after, my god, you feel so good.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
You just feel accomplished, Like I did it.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I gained like.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Fifty five pounds with this beautiful, beautiful, precious thing.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
I'm like, I need to get my pink back.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, and it's not easy having a chef, as a
as a guy.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
It was like, yeah, no, it's not. I it is
so good when I was pregnant. Good. I can't mean
like that anymore.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
But how was it for you to even be able
to post because you posted a picture like I love
this picture, and that's when everybody knew, and I know
it was like private life, but then you know, and
it is a beautiful picture and I love y'all together.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
It's a beautiful pic, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
A beautiful picture? Is? But I know that was hard
for you to even like, what was the thinking behind
that and the timing.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
And there wasn't. I was just like, I don't care.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
This is my man, you know, like we share a daughter,
we have family, Like, I don't really care.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I just I just felt like post on it.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
And I just felt like I shared some of my
baby shower pictures, you know, I just wanted to share that.
I think when it was happening, I wanted to enjoy it.
We wanted to enjoy it privately.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I have a healthy baby first, all of that.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
All of that, and even when I announced my pregnancy,
I was like, all right, I'm doing this because I
couldn't hide it anymore and I didn't want anybody to
get ahead of.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
It, somebody to out you, which I think is so rude.
It's so rude, but.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
It will, it happens.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
It happens, and it's so it's it's honestly disgusting because
like at the end of the day, it's still a
woman's body, you know, Like what if I mean.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
I'm why are you offside if you're pregnant, because I
what do you mean, like I'm supposed to be in
the house locked up imposed Yeah, Like I don't understand.
It doesn't mean post me. So there was no thinking
behind it.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
I just baby's here, Everything's fine, baby goes healthy, all
as well?

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Here.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
What did your son think when he found out you
were pregnant and how did you tell him?

Speaker 3 (24:54):
He my beautiful baby boy? At first he did it.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
He was like like he didn't really understand, like the
whole pregnancy thing.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
In the very beginning, he will be like, oh mommy,
you ate Allah.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Like you ate Allah.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
And then like for like a month after he was
still saying that. I was like, the baby's out outside
of my body, the baby, what happens?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Listen, man, you can't say that to women.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
But then after like once I got really big, he understood.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
You know, he will come to the sonograms with me,
the appointments and let me.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Just say that Lex is the best big brother ever, unbelievable.
And I was that's his baby. He loves her so much.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
And I was really nervous about that, like my second child,
like having two kids.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
I was like, how am I gonna divide my time?
I'm already like.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Trying to grasp time for me, like I don't want
my son. I love my son, And he taught me
everything that I know. You ever seen that meme or
like that TikTok somewhere. So it's like my first child
went to everything with me. Like I was like, oh
my God, like me and my little my little Bustie,
We're about to have another bussie.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
How am I gonna do?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
This?

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Is gonna get jealous? I'm like, I was terrified. He's
incredible with that little girl. It's so good and it's
just the start, and it's just start. Oh that's that's good.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
I'm bad.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Because listen, all this the motherhood stuff is beautiful, but
it's a lot of work.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, I can't even imagine.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I have so much respect from my mama.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Listen, I babysit and be like take this kid back.
A baby's been eight hours. It's exhausting, and I sleep
so good at night after babysitting is nothing months. Listen,
you also are in a movie that's coming out, and
this movie's coming I'm an actress. So the fact that

(26:53):
and we got to applaud you for that because like
you said, you are, you know, a mom and you
just had a baby.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I am a mother a lot a mom. When your mom,
when you are mom of one, your mom, I am
a mother kids.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
That's crazy. So you also managed to film a movie though. Alright,
so tell me about this. It's called Love Murder Weed.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yes, Love Murder Weed. They changed the name. I'm so
sad about that.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
But was it originally it was?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
I think I think I could say I'm gonna say
it and then I'll text them like, hey, I said this.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
It was called Interco Road And it's basically it's a
movie about these two sisters who own like weed, like
a dispensary company, a huge warehouse, and like weird things
go on in the warehouse and there's like I damn,
I don't want to give up the movie.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
It's like a suspense movie.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, it's like a thriller.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
I feel like.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
I'm not one of the sisters. Yeah, things like.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
That, Love Murder Weed and one.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
So there's a hold on, let me bring it back. Sisters.
They have a warehouse and there's.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
A production company that's going to come do a documentary
on them because they're doing so well, and then weird
things happen.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I'm part of the production crew.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, like that.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
My name is Carla. When the movie comes out, my
name is Carla. And I was actually pregnant when I
did this. I was like four or five months pregnant,
and I was hiding it, and I probably look so
crazy in the movie looking thinking back now because I
have oversized shirts, so I probably looked like a balloon.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
No, Like now one day I can be like that
you and.

Speaker 4 (28:37):

Speaker 4 (28:44):
They did so they did well though, you know, as
an independent artist. I know, but also like I'm not
a little dog. I've been doing TV for a long time.
I am usually a certain type of but I didn't
care about any of that or like what they were paying.
I really wanted the opportunity and the experience. And it

was a big cast, like they were so incredible.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Everybody in that movie is fire.
