She was realistic… the issue is her holding a drink while speaking to a group of professionals 2:48

[@alexm7120]

Part of the issue.

[@charlesdixon552]

Protocol allows a business professional to have a drink during a business luncheon. Didn't you see a drink on all the other tables? I guess you skipped protocol class honey. Now go sit down.

Come on Latisha why serve your panelists shots b4 an important speaking event. Remember you were the one that said you wanted them to loosen up 😂

[@404Miiks]

But do we really WANT to work a 9-5 or is it something we do for a variety of reasons?

[@traciescott1871]

I usually don't care for Marie...however, her commentary in this moment was spot on! And, her confessional look was giving what it was supposed to 👍

[@MazrineMorris-eg1ed]

There is always something wrong. They didn't want any drinking they should have served drinks after. Lattice didn't lie no one wants to work a 9 to 5. But she is not dumb she knows people got to work. Marie is always putting women down at least on the show. I hope she is not like that in real life.

[@traciescott1871]

@@MazrineMorris-eg1ed That statement by Latrice is a generalization though. When she stated "No-one", that's not necessarily true though.

i like latrice she was being real and not fake giving answers at these same old "empowering brunches" if latrice said nothing they would still have a problem

[@KeyunnaP]

Right, and we all know them "empowering women" brunches be fake as hell, most of them women be evil as hell and selfish, been stepping on other women toes for yearsss. 💯

[@feliciawortham5031]

I don't think she was looking down on anyone, I think she was very honest,, and some people like the truth

[@hennisisyimon]

I don't think Latrice was being arrogant at this moment. She was speaking to the audience from where they currently are in their life and it's called being able to relate because she herself was once there. Telling people to start a business to make millions without showing them how to properly do it, is whats's really arrogant.

[@mirabella2154]

I didn't see any issue here. She was straightforward.

[@michellesanders3657]

To me she was just being real. She was not insulting them, she was saying if we had choices who would choose that. I did not take offense. I am self employed and till holding on to my 9-5 part time for benefits and I’m not ready to fully let go.

[@xtinedike4334]

Smh 😅

[@ccchilton8917]

It’s an ignorant comment because everyone can’t be and don’t desire to be entrepreneurs. There has to be worker bees that work FOR and support the entrepreneurs. She insulted her employees and the attendees who still want and need their 9 to 5.

[@sunnybright8206]

Correct

[@blackscreenrelaxation5824]

⁠@@michellesanders3657 But that’s the thing- people DO have choices and most times they choose a 9-5 as it’s the safer, simpler. Entrepreneurship is much much much more difficult. The truth is people just don’t want to work period.

[@deond5248]

I don’t think she was being malicious. Sometimes that’s how we have to hear it in order to receive it. Everybody is not going to receive it and process it if you’re speaking conservatively and in proper grammar. I love that southern drawl and realness; hell I’m at crossroads now and feel like I’m stuck between getting more post graduate education or starting a business. I’m sick of working 9-5’s and begging these companies for a better job in interviews and not getting hired. I would want somebody to give it to me raw and real rather than the other way.

[@Rudylee51]

Young ladies and gentlemen trust me even if you're trying something on the side, until you Master it, please keep your 9/5 it's providing you shelter, your every day living, hopefully it's a job that you're paying into your pension. I'm over 50 and I have a regular job for 26yrs I help many of family to migrate and attend school. It is very hard. But after 30yrs I can retire and have money coming in and I can still do something else to ears extra money.

[@Girlfay123]

The brunch was about what Latrice was saying, but at the same time, even owning your own business, you may have to work from 9 to 7 until you get it going the way you want it to be Latrice is representing a true black woman business owner. I am impressed with her.

[@ashleyrashaun8174]

I see some people making comments about who wants to work at 9 to 5 but let’s be real if we didn’t have people that worked 9 to 5 our economy would not function so we need both we need entrepreneurs and we need people to work 9 to 5 or whatever shift so Latrice shouldn’t have said that that’s disrespectful because she has people working for her and people that are paying her that work 9 to 5 It’s all called wisdom, and she really needed it in that moment.

[@michellesanders3657]

I think she meant if we had a choice. I think her intent was not malicious. I totally get your point as well

[@bosslady41353]

But here is the problem with her statement, it was disrespectful. Why would you be sitting on a panel with a drink in your hand and cussing all the while trying to empower people!! Let’s be realistic here….somebody has to work a 9-5!! Everyone doesn’t want to be an entrepreneur. For those who are, great….but entrepreneurship is hard work.

[@missb2182]

Why would I attend an Empowerment Brunch unless I am looking for inspiration/motivation in my career? Ask doctors and nurses do they want to work 80 hour weeks and let me know what they say..People work shifts be it 9-5 or grave yard shifts because it is REQUIRED!

[@ashleyrashaun8174]

@@missb2182 reading is fundamental! Like I said I my original post. We need both!!! Let’s be completely transparent if we didn’t have doctors or nurses who work 80+ hours a week we would be in serious trouble. There is a lot of doctors I know in my family that work crazy hours and they love it. Most people in the healthcare field know what they’re getting themselves into. So let’s not use that narrative. But I see your point of view. Remember everyone isn’t meant to be an entrepreneur.

[@OmashantiNwego]

She wasn’t looking down. No one truly wants to work a 9-5. Groceries, gas, and taxes are staying the same but hourly rates and salaries aren’t. She was being honest. I hate that others didn’t understand that. IDK about everyone else, but I appreciate 9-5 employees and the people at the drive thru because they take care of me in some form or another. She didn’t diminish what anyone does, but there are millions of people who hate going into their 9-5. Not only due to money, but hostile work environments, etc.

[@wirelesschick123]

I work an 8-3pm making six figures and I love it because I am able to work out until 5pm and then spend the rest of the day on my second business. Maybe finding a job that ends earlier until you’re able to quit and work for yourself

Most ppl have to work a 9 to 5 and would much rather work for themselves. She was telling the truth and shaming the devil. Isn’t Latisha and Latrice supposed to be friends.? I can’t tell.

[@tmitchem81]

I'm sorry Latrice was ignorant in this moment and there is no way to sugarcoat that, it's so important to not glamorize entrepreneurship. Saying no one wants to work a 9-5 is not only offensive in a room full of mostly 9-5 workers, but it disrespects your own employees. People that work 9-5 are the lifeblood of her own business. It also negates that when you run your own business, you working way more than 80 hours a week and it isn't fun and games. Why was she sipping from that glass like a lush, once she got on the front panel. Issa Mess.

[@DChris1123]

Very well said 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! That was so disrespectful. And she clearly does not know how to read a room. She’s so immature. I not a fan. No ma’am.🤦🏽‍♀️

[@ffffggffffgfgrrfdf]

I feel like that's what they were there for, to become entrepreneurs and leave their 9-5.

[@Brianesha]

I don’t care for her but I don’t think she was being disrespectful. No one really wants to work a 9-5. You know how many hate getting up and going to work for someone else? Most of working people don’t like working for someone else. That’s why those women were there. They don’t want to work for someone else.

[@alexm7120]

Yeah...but she said it like it was the lowest place to be. Some 9 to 5's pay pretty darn well, and a lot of ppl love it. The ppl who were listening to these cringeworthy comments were not only in the room@@Brianesha

[@shalove8668]

They edited what she said. Somebody in the audience recorded what she said and it was nothing like this.

I know y’all and the other belles want to make Latrice the villain for some weird reason however tread lightly because she’s literally holding this show. I ONLY WATCH for her at this point. She IS the show! Look at the video views of hers vs other belles. Her and Selena are bringing season 2’s ratings.

[@charlesdixon552]

Bs...Selena isn't even a cast member and WON'T be next season either. Everyone tunes in for JJ and So Gucci! Cliff can't even talk! Carlos shades him by putting subtitles up when he speaks! 🤣 You're delusional af.

[@mzatheelle7588]

In that moment, I have a little grace and compassion for Latrice. If she knew better, she'd do better. But for now, she needs some therapy to manage the dysfunction in her marriage and figure out why she makes excuses for Cliff and accepts the way he treats her and why he treats her that way. Insecurity is not an excuse, it's a dysfunction.

[@charlesdixon552]

I agree with Latrice! Stop the hating!

[@mzatheelle7588]

@charlesdixon552 it's OK to be a fan, but it is not ok to insult a group of working class people with that statement. It probably insults some people and inspires others.

But entrepreneurship is not the way to work less- you will in fact be working more and paid less, until your business becomes successful ( and that’s if it even does).

[@CallmeQuayZ]

@@blackscreenrelaxation5824 y’all always trying to twist ppl words for your own satisfaction. The end goal is to make your money work not struggle. Learn how to understand ppl instead of searching for an argument

[@DuckyToof]

@@CallmeQuayZthey’re not twisting words. “Get paid more and work less” is not something that happens easily or early for most businesses. It takes years of hard work and long hours to get to a point of profitability where the entrepreneur can sit back and relax. If someone wants a guaranteed return on their money, they are better off investing rather than starting a business that can easily turn into a money pit.

[@DuckyToof]

@@blackscreenrelaxation5824agreed! Hopefully people see this comment and don’t think starting a business is a quick and easy way to get rich. It is a lot of work. I always say that if someone can’t handle a 9-5, they definitely can’t handle being a business owner.

[@ednapontellier2694]

What Latriece said was ignorant. There are plenty of young women who have graduated from highly competitive Universities who go on to do 9-to-5 jobs other than being a doctor, who are happy with their choices and proud of their contributions to society. Understanding one's demographic would have been a nice place to start before she started letting the liquor do the talking where common sense and a professional stage presence should have prevailed.

[@missb2182]

Latrice said nothing offensive, in my opinion. There's a difference in having to work a 9-5 shift as opposed to "wanting" to work it. That's the equivalent of someone saying that no one wants to "punch" the clock. Most people work because they have to and for those who don't have to work but chooses to; it's considered a labor of love. Lateisha and Marie are two condescending miserable women who don't like Latrice and will take any opportunity criticize her..

[@vetgirl71]

The women who paid to attend this “women empowerment brunch” came for the purpose to network and hear successful black women entrepreneurs give insight to them concerning running successful businesses. Yes , they may have 9-5 jobs to keep a roof over their heads, but their obvious goal is to one day own their own business & make money for themselves instead of a greedy stingy corporation! 🙄🤷🏾‍♀️ I am assuming that the producers cut, sliced and edited a lot of meaningful parts from this segment. Because it’s definitely important for people to know how the businesses was initially started financially, were they brick & mortars or on the internet , LLCs , partnerships , did any of them get business loans , how many hours they put in to run their businesses, how long before they could pay themselves and how long did they go without paying themselves ect ?!! Latrice was telling the truth , the audience was there because they want to eventually leave their “9-5 “ jobs . Nothing wrong with her statement, I’m sure that the shady producers edited out a lot of what was discussed to paint her as a lush! She certainly shouldn’t have been drinking while sitting on the panel, very unprofessional and tacky! She had time to get a glass of wine prior to sitting on that stage! I get she was nervous, but she could easily Google how to present herself on a stage to an audience, the do’s & don’ts! There is no excuse today for ignorance, when there is a plethora of information on the internet today! 🙄🤷🏾‍♀️

[@blackscreenrelaxation5824]

There’s lots of ignorance in the comments and you can tell a lot of people here have never run a business before. It is infinitely more difficult than working a 9-5- more time consuming, more risk, less pay(initially), less benefits/security- not to mention the high failure rate. This is why you can’t trust people on the internet. You’re risking your livelihood to be a ‘boss’, whilst they’re sitting comfortably in front of their work monitors downing 9-5’s whilst working one themselves, with no intentions of leaving.

[@wawa9883]

Yes I have my own business and it is risky, but so is a 9 to 5. Having a 9 to 5 you can be let go at anytime, micromanaged, told what to do outside of your hiring role, given impossible deadline forcing to work beyond 8 hrs with no extra pay if you're salaried. So please with running your own business and in control, which I rather be in control then letting someone else control my future other than God! ❤

[@sevenp.8640]

YIKES, while I don't think she was trying to be malicious I do wish her delivery was better. I've come across many that actually prefer 9-5 life over being an entrepreneur, for some it gives much more structure while for others they need the freedom of doing your own thing. In a room like that you have to be mindful that some need the encouragement rather than being made to feel small for working a 9-5.

[@jahjah1769]

No one wants to work a 9-5 if they had a choice and many people have wasted their money with a college degree BUT everyone is not meant to be a business owner.
