 It's your audience, it's us, we drive culture, we're the ones that if we don't get involved it's not cool, it doesn't have a movement, it doesn't have our energy. We gotta get these corporations comfortable with giving us a lot of money again. I mean it sound good, you know, because this is a corporate, but if they ain't gonna give us a lot of money. I know they have a lot of money, but by the time they get to us it ain't a lot of money. It's not, it's never as much as it should be and could be if it was our counterpart. Come on now. Always. Give me one of them out of Sarah's checks. First of all, welcome to the black market. Oh, thank you. You know, what I'm saying? I would like for you to take this opportunity to introduce yourself to each and every last one of these cameras. All right, I'm Shahani Prestad, I'm the owner of Earth Angel PR, I specialize in publicity, but more recently I really focus on brand management, I work with big brands, small, I've done a ton of stuff in entertainment, film, music, TV, lifestyle, brands and I've been in Atlanta forever, so this is my city. How did you get your start? How did I get my start? I went through a divorce and did not know what I wanted to do with my life, but I was always involved in music I used to sing. Okay. So a lot of my friends were in the music industry, producers, writers and I would just help them out with different events and different things, I didn't really know what I was doing, I could write, I could do a few other things that were more on the brand side with a corporate job and somehow it became the makings of my PR company. I had a woman prophesy over me saying that that's what I was going to do and one day I sat down, watched the ducks at Piedmont Park and the name came to me, Earth Angel, caller Earth Angel and that was the start. I started during the recession of 08. Interesting times. Yes. Interesting times. Would you like to hear more? Yes. I think what it did is it helped me learn how to improvise, think of my feet, there was no money so I had to pay my dues in the time when people weren't paying anyway I would have already been laid off from my job and I worked a lot for free but I got the chance to work with major brands or major luxury brand adjacent and by the time the economy started rolling back again and people had money to spend I had the credibility I had the work behind me and that's kind of how that went. Pay it all. It did. I got paid, I worked for free, people were supposed to pay me, they didn't pay. That's the game. All of it. I had to learn all of it. Yeah. Yeah. If you just don't give up, you'll figure it out. You'll figure it out. See, that's the part of the game you can't escape no matter what it is that you're doing. Like you said, that's the part of paying your dues, going through the ups and the downs but now that you have the knowledge, never again. No. Lord. I'm trying to pull me back but no. Never. No. Once you know better, you do better. Exactly. Yeah. So how is it being working in the entertainment industry and working with all these different brands and things of that nature like you said when you were starting out to where you are now? You know, every day is different. It's never boring. I've come across some of the most interesting people from civil rights icons to major celebrities, reality TV, you know, which is big here. Those are a whole different kind of celebrity. Yeah. They be acting like they got blockbuster movies. Interesting to see the whole reality world change too. So when I, you know, I was here with the beginning of the original OG housewives and team and to see what it is now, how it's evolved into this big thing who knew. Right. We were going to be the reality TV show capital, but yeah, you know, I get into a lot of rooms. I see a lot of things, but it's fun. It could be stressful, but it can be a lot of fun. That's the cool part about Atlanta though. Everybody been on something like everybody literally everybody damn near has been on some form of TV show background, dancing, rapping, singing, and then there's always somebody every time. Is that you? Was that you? Yes. Yes. The screenshot is like the back of your neck, but they get you. Yeah. Yeah. I bet on a couple of them. See, everybody made a little cameo here and there. Going to be on real comedians of Atlanta. Can't give away all the secrets. No, I'm good. You said you want the big checks. I think the big corporate checks. Them checks. I'm good. No. Hell no. Hell no. Hell no. Hell no. That would be a nightmare. That's our real raw already. So how much more wild could it be? That's the thing about it. It's not. It's very mild and tame. That's what I hear. Y'all are very, from what I understand, you guys are very much about empowering the community, giving opportunities to people. Exactly. Jobs are being built. Nobody wants to see me just at work all the time. I think we need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. We need jobs. back. Yeah. Oh, really? Really? No. This is just in conversations past. Even my sister said, you walked her, my sister and my niece love you. They love you. They're obsessed. Really? I know you have some obsessed people too. But she, she said that she had a story like, I don't know, 10 years ago, you, you were walking every, you would walk women home, not home, but to their cars. Yeah. You were walking to their cars just to make sure they were safe. You were real respectful. You were real cool. Didn't try to holler at nobody. See? That was nothing like that. Exactly. They don't even believe stuff like that. Publicist, those are the stories we like because those are the things that people don't get the chance to see. You know, they, they see one element, but just like us as black people or people of color, we are multi-dimensional. We laugh. We cry. We work. We clown. We handle our business. So, you know, you have a lot of people that look up to you. So it's good for them to know that. Well, I love those people. Thank you. I appreciate each and every last one of you. And for those of you who haven't even come around yet, you always welcome over here. Come on. Come on. Bring it in. New fans welcome. Yeah. All the time. Hallelujah. So what's next for you? What is next? So yeah, this, we have a 12 city HBCU tour, you know, sponsored by Pepsi, White House as a partner. That's going to take up a lot of time. That and living, having fun, being balanced. That's the most important part out of all this working. You got to make sure you have some fun. Right. Live your life. What do you do for fun? Like, how's that work? I like to shoot guns. Tea parties and guns. Maybe you should rearrange your list a little bit. You got to put some salt in between tea parties and guns. Zen things, meditation, spiritual journeys and crystals and all that. So you like chill shit and wild shit. Okay. That's a nice, nice balance. Okay. We're working. People find you and request your services and things of that nature. I do consulting as well. I'm not taking a ton of projects right now, but I definitely consult. So I'm helping small businesses, individuals and large brands who maybe aren't ready for a publicist, but just want someone that they could call and kind of have on hand. So I do that as well.
