I just love her. She's not looking for fame. Just a woman about her business, growth, and the empowerment of other people. Intelligent, beauty and with a heart.
@@parkerboy_007 Youre ASSuming so that makes you correct. We didnt have any such convo...weirdo. I have three businesses. 😂😂😂😂 You dont know her nor me. So quit!
I definitely believe she was looking to expand her brand by agreeing to be on TV (ie fame). But the show just didn’t align with her vision, which is fine.
Nothing Quiana does as a business woman is anything out of the ordinary. Many people sell homes at a high level and have independent brokerages. Her leverage is social media and confusing people to think she is doing and knowing more than the average person. If you are a business woman or realtor yourself then you see the BS. She also lacks self awareness. She thought the show was going to be centered around her life and show bits and pieces of the other ladies. She has gone out of her way to project she's the star. She held a "private" viewing party, but of course she had a videographer present, she wanted it captured because at that time she thought she was the star. Her life is full of projections and projects and she will never be happy because she hasn't realized that happiness comes from within not from material purchases.
So proud of Quiana! I couldn’t get pass the second episode because I truly thought it would be about successful Black woman realtors. Not Entertainment! It’s disappointing to see Black woman being reflected so negative for entertainment. I am with you ! KEEP GOING and Continue to represent positive successful Black woman !✨😊. YOU GO
Quiana chose to leave reality tv and to keep her integrity in tact and protect her brand. While some of us have remained in toxic relationships since ‘95. Kudos to you Quiana for advocating for yourself.
what integrity exactly? and what brand is being un-protected,? Lets face it reality TV is not for everyone. Given your points, Thats one way to look at it. on the other hand, by leaving she infact may be missing out on potentially growing her brand! 1st seasons on "genesis themed" series like this are usually short sighted, but eventually the story continues unfolding and out of sight is out of mind vice versa. If she doesn't give them content can they edit her that badly? If she's confident in herself , her story, her business and her "marriage"why is she running? she's not saying something! but good for her!
@@obi.A. Quiana is not missing out on any opportunities by growing her brand. Her and Cristyl just broke ground to building a black community of residential homes in Atlanta. When a property is sold on Million Dollar Listing on Bravo, the price of the property and the commission is listed. HGTV also show their dollar signs of properties and budgets. Selling Tampa and LWLATL is confusing because I don’t know if a property has sold or not because it’s not listed.
@@maryjanesbaby9392 Good points, I felt given that they are premiering as a listing show, and their "target audiences" are not used to shows like this, the thought would be to captivate an audience first then get to the nitty gritty!, I also wondered where the point of integrity or brand comes in when so far I don't see any tarnishing e.t.c I respect her decision and she makes really good points, but I still think there's more to it.
@@obi.A. I also think Quiana want to give the opportunity of her brand of not being tarnished before it got off the ground for the world to see. Quiana was already doing great before the premiering of the show that’s what a lot of people don’t know. Her and Cristyl just broke ground building residential homes around the community of Atlanta.
I personally was not interested in watching the show because I cannot watch another show with black females fighting each other. I am so proud of her for taking a stance.
I don’t blame her. This showed could have being a million dollar listing type show with a predominant black brokers/relators but they decided to make it a drama filled show like there isn’t any already on tv/streaming service. They missed the boat on this one.
Exactly. That's what I expected due to the title. This could be a show that displays how black, successful, beautiful women can do big things and work together. Especially, here in Atlanta, where toxicity, superficiality, and drama breeds. It's time for ascension.
Shout out to Quiana for taking a stand and knowing her worth. I liked her before but I love her now. She is a great example for all women. The interview was fantastic.
@@pjt3887 i felt this way after the first episode. After watching selling sunset, i had such high hopes! Sellinh sunset was so much drama but there was SO MUCH REAL ESTATE!
All money isn’t good money and you have a brand to protect. I am so proud of you keep up the good work. Praying that you will be blessed with that bundle of joy.
Quiana is 100% correct on how she feels‼️ It’s a fact that the focus on the drama instead of the business aspects. I wanted to learn more about real estate not the conflicts.
Ms. Quiana went awffff - in the classiest way possible, of course. Proud of her for standing in her truth and taking steps to protect her business and image. Wishing her the best in her future endeavors!
I’ve been following her for years. I remember when I was looking for my first house in Atlanta, I emailed her and was intimated because she was really popular and sold million dollar properties. I didn’t end up going with her but she’s was so nice and responsive. She made me feel really comfortable. She has such genuine energy.
Production seriously dropped the ball! Quiana is my favorite on the show. She’s the most honest and balanced. I definitely respect her standing in her decision.
I just love Qiana. I’ve been following her well before this show and she is clearly about her business and less about the drama. So refreshing to see a black woman not be a slave to trash reality TV for a buck.
She brings up several powerful points. I was actually wondering how her clients feel dealing with someone who appears as she was presented. I couldn't imagine how these women don't realize the damage to their personal brands and reputation. People do business with people they like, or at least respect. Christal is an example of someone who behaved in ways on the show that makes me never want to do business with her.
But didn’t Quiana bring the drama though? Her whole point of going to the dinner was to tell Robin no she’s not working with her. Sounds like she just mad that the show isn’t about her. She’s entitled to feel how she feels however she keeps mentioning how she has so much more going on than everyone else as if they don’t deserve the spotlight
This! She def. brought the drama to the dinner, and made it clear that was the only reason she was going. She could have declined to go all together if she really wasn’t about the drama. She also mentioned it durning the showing before the dinner. Again, drama that SHE started. She had to let the other girls know what she thought of Robin and how she would show up to dinner. It’s the accountability for me. Ma’am you were apart of a lot of the drama. You can’t blame your actions on production then get mad when they put it on TV.
Q is a master marketing mind. My theory is: she planned to do one season, giving herself and her other businesses the exposure. And as she’s doing now with her integrity tour, beginning 4 episodes in, she’s has all eyes on her for the rest of the season. She’s been approached by other reality shows, knows people in the industry; she’s too astute to have been naive about what the show could possibly be.
I agree. She was extremely extra and heated all the time. She used that as an excuse because she's watching the show and looks absolutely crazy. A television show is ALWAYS an opportunity. Yeah, all BS. They can only show what you give. You gave the drama and production work off ratings.
What a great interview! I completely understand and agree with her decision. I hope this sends a message to OWN that we as viewers don't want to see BULL CRAP.
I love Quiana she’s very classy based. I follow her on Instagram and I really wanted to see her business in the show you can see she’s not comfortable with the drama but when it comes to business she’s very comfortable. I live in Atlanta and I would definitely use her company because she knows what she’s doing.
Well she must be remedial....anyone knows going on TV ia drama. She actually thouggt they were going to watch her close houses, and write up paperwork? Its boring!!! No one is watching boring tv.
Quiana will have her own show very soon. She’s honestly a best at everything she does. I’m proud of her for taking a stands and standing on her truth. You’re amazing girl! 😘❤️
She didn’t like Robin and we all seen that very clearly. She was the one that kept making it so noticeable that Robin rubbed her the wrong way and it looked like it was for no reason! Let’s just call a thing a thing!
Totally appreciate Quiana's take on this. We see massive deals on Million Dollar Listing NY & LA and there may be some small drama, but we see serious real estate deals and business savvy! We should have that same energy and information on our Black real estate shows! Stop pushing all the drama to the front and pulling all the excellent business moves to the back! Love this interview and her take!!!
Thx for sharing your ivf story. To see another black women going to that struggle is everything because im going through it now. Strenght, love and place in Jesus name.
I'm so so very proud of her! I'm going to support her brokage firm as much as I possibly I can because she's a real one that cares about how we are perceived as Black females, these women don't get they not laughing with you, they laughing at you acting a fool on TV!
I so agree with her she is too talented for all the drama it mostly black woman fighting with each other’s I thought it was going to be these amazing black woman being successful in their real-estate I watch it for the first time this weekend I was so disappointed because all they wanted is black woman arguing with each other you are a princess I am so happy you walk away from drama Godbless you keep up the amazing job
I respect her decision. We deserve to be on tv as professionals , we deserve to show other black people that we are and can be successful in the professional field. Good job Quiana for walking away. We want more real estate !
I just find it funny that she didnt name or consider Robin a friend, yet called her first to help with her business during the pandemic. She is still holding a grudge against Robin because of a $500 misunderstanding she didnt take the time to clarify. Its very telling that she is close with Cristal and Kyra. I like Tiffany a lot. She is able to showcase her business without the drama so why couldn't Quiana😩
I was thinking the SAME when it came to her & Robin. Perhaps she liked it to what she thought was just a business relationship in asking her to hold her license.
Im not buying it. She couldve handled this differently. We did see her business. She couldve just not returned to th show and announced it at the end of the season, without throwing production under the bus. She thought she would be the main character and she's not.
I think it's pretty self-serving the way she's handling her decision to not return NEXT season. I thought she quit in the midst of this season. Don't seem very gracious or professional of her to tour while low-key trahing the show. The audience can makeup our own mind about the show. Think her exit tour is a disserve to the remaining cast mates.
Kempire thank you so much for this interview! Quiana is so smart and interesting. I would’ve loved to see her selling real estate on the show. Her vision of the show is what we all wanted: lots of real estate with a sprinkle of drama. I wish Quiana the best! ♥️♥️♥️
🙌🏾 Thank you Quiana for walking away from a situation that loves to make our people look like 🤡 on television. It is so important to how we hold ourselves and values and we have the power to change our image in media. All money is not good money and you don’t want to ruin or damage your reputation or integrity all for a coin. Our people have to do away with doing any and everything for a coin.
She kept flip flopping between the 26 or 29 contracts that she alleged Robyn wanted $500 a piece to hold, which ended up being a whole misunderstanding on her part. She never seemed believe/credible in my eyes. She may be a nice lady/good business owner, but she seems shady....😶
Carlos King are you listening we need a show with black people showing a person going through the whole process of actually buying a home. The good parts and the bad parts of home buying and the market.
Tell them too create shows for African Americans on HGTV 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒 selling n buying homes we all seen Egypt who host reunion on own with her husband n family this year yall want positive image right get on that net work programming look at that's picture over there
@Kempire I know this was unplanned for Quiana to come thru but you were READY and it was a great interview. You asked what the people wanted to know. OWN come get your boi.
I respect and admire Quiana even more now. She made the best decision for her. And I am looking forward to hearing more about the business side and learning from her.
Delusional if you hadn’t thought that reality tv was messy - it’s going the way I expected even before it aired - she didn’t like how she came off personality wise
She came off just fine. Robin, on the other hand, Robin came off like a delusional, poorly raised, rude jerk. How many temporal tantrums did we need to watch? How old you need to be to know to keep your dam hands to yourself.
What dj envy was totally different from what she said. She specifically brought up production whereas envy called the ladies at Tampa embarrassing and only brought up production when the girls checked him.
Actually, am I the only one who believes she quit due to her true portrayal on the show. Also, in her confessionals (I agree with Jami That's Me) she only references the drama and not her business. I do not believe her. She is angry about her reality being portrayed on a reality show @KempireDaily #KempireDaily
Quiana I enjoyed this interview. I am from NC and was immediately drawn to you when I saw the first episode. Your ethics are commendable! Thanks for sharing so much info about reality TV as you experienced it. Best wishes!
She seems to be giving herself a lot of grace in whatever happened on the next episode. Very different from how she played up Robin's "being human", elevating it to a "physical assault".
She’s admitting to projecting and admitting that her old side came out. Not sure how much more accountability ppl want. She def shouldn’t beat herself up. As far as Robin, that was battery and not assault. Battery is the touching of another person without their consent. She smacked her hand (a grown woman like she was getting on her child). Cristyl was wrong, but there is no excuse for that.
I liked her before, but I really appreciate and love her now. I just subscribed to her RUclips channel and will be following heron all platforms. She is about her business and I am inspired by it
Quiana called it right, "trash television." The producers definitely bait and switch, and tie them up with a contract. Quiana chose herself. Good for her! 💯
I just knew that after the episode aired with her talking with her husband about the no deal with Robin that it was too much drama for all of the real life business Mrs. Watson as well as her husband and the other ladies has going on…Personally after the first episode, I questioned who’s idea was it to have this show. It was giving me sabotaging vibes. I am happy that just as abruptly as the drama began that Mrs. Watson abruptly quit. And didn’t waste time announcing it. You go Mrs. Watson and may the Lord bless you and your husband with as many children y’all’s heart desire.
I appreciate Quiana's honesty. This show could've been so much more and like other reality shows, it just want to showcase drama. This ATL cast is BEAUTIFUL and I was expecting more based on reviews I was seeing online, but it's no different from Selling Tampa.
Girl Bye you knew what "reality tv" was. She literally held on to an issue for a year to bring it up on reality tv. Chyle you thought you was gonna be the star and that didn't happen.
I kinda Agree. I do understand he deciding to leave but they show the Other Women Selling. Did she want to be more HIGHLIGHTED than the others. She showed some ghettoness with Robyn, so why she Pissed if Robyn DIDN'T Help her since, she DIDN'T consider Robyn to be a friend AND she brought that Drama to REALITY TV after 1-2 years.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great interview! I DEFINITELY was interested in the show initially. I am absolutely looking forward to the content she will be doing in the future. A little drama is ok but this show has too much of it and not enough "listing". Much success to her. It is a hard situation to be in when you want black shows to succeed but not at the price of showing us in a consistent bad light ❤.
Another great interview Ke👑pire!!!! Keep them coming! You’re showing everyone that you are truly a force to reckon with!. They better watch out for you. So proud of you 👏🏽
I just watched this show all 8 this week and the first and so far person I started following is Quiana! She is such a boss and I loved seeing her parts so was quite surprised she quit the show! But now I understand. Wish her nothing but the best!💕
This women is what we need more of. She is a great representation of the educated, successful, articulate, black women that this world is filled of but you’ll never see due to how the media always wants to portray us. She was my favorite on the show and even more so now that I’ve listened to her on this video. She embodies 👑 indeed!
I feel like production & show owners are doing this because it's black women. All the "black " shows, especially women are built on DRAMA, fighting and cussing. Look at Chrisly Knows best...no drama, several seasons. Why can't this be done for black folks?
because i've flat out hear "black" folks say if there's no drama what are we watching,? LAMH was a show about building houses, look how that turned out. Same with selling Tampa. Infact let me show you "per verbatum" how our black folks think, this is copy paste: .... below "You get to see properties much better, there's some actual selling, there's selling skills, great fashion, and _[lots of drama between the girls]_ "I've been watching real estate shows for years and I dabbled in the industry myself some years ago and to me most of them seem unprofessional. _[But I will keep watching]_ because I like _[trash tv]_ like housewives and this seems like it is leaning that way."
These people know what type of shows these are usually when they sign up. If they want to do shows on real estate why not try to go on HGTV instead of OWN & Netflix?
I love that how she confidently says this is not an opportunity for her. Mrs. Quiana knows her worth and takes ownership of how she is presented and represented out here. It's refreshing...and I love the firm NO's.
@nicklebaby I agree. I thought Ladies who list was better than Selling Tampa. They definitely showed more homes and appeared to be more realistic. However LWLA drug out the storyline with Robin & Kiana, Robin & Cris and Robin & Quiana. I can definitely see why Q quit the show. I felt Robin definitely should have quit as well because it did not paint her in a good light at all (I'm not even referring to her mental health challenges).
I love how REAL this woman is! She has been my favorite from day one, a real boss lady. After listening to this I love her even more. I wish her the very best!
And this is why Quiana is/was my favorite on this show. I love that she has a voice and not afraid to use it. Good job sistah Quiana for standing firm on your decision and controlling your OWN narrative!!!
This is a business woman & she’s been promoting self care for as long as I’ve been following her. She was speaking on healing & self love 10 years ago…Her actions have truly opened my eyes to truly live in my truth….
I’m sorry she does come off immature on the show though. Her perspective is warped something like a mean girl… I wish I would’ve seen her in the boss element more…maybe she’s more grounded in that area
Quiana turned me off during this interview. She comes off as extremely cocky and the show showed what she gave them. If you wanted them to show you selling houses, why didn’t you sell houses for them to show instead of discussing petty BS with Robyn?
Seems like Quiana wanted her own show to highlight her many businesses. When you’re on a show in an ensemble cast, clearly the entire show isn’t gonna be about YOUR everything. I’ve seen a lot of business from the women, so I’m not sure what else she wants. Even on shows like Million Dollar Listing, they’re on their listing, but they are also bout that petty drama.
I smell marketing strategy. She only intended to do one season, which gets her many businesses 8 episodes of exposure. Mid-season she announces she’s quitting, claiming moral indignation. Now for the remainder of season one she gets to campaign on as many platforms as possible “explaining why she quit”.
The audience doesn’t want all the drama; I think production wants to portray these black women in that light. She is so right they create a storyboard and then choose people to fill that part. I’m so glad she stood up for herself.
She gave them what we saw. She seems pretty immature and petty. Quiana is probably upset she’s being depicted as she is. He comment that not only did she want to be mad at Robin, she wanted the other ladies to be mad at her too. What does production have to do about that. Also, a lot on creators on Earn Your Leisure are straight cappers, so I have another side eye about this lady. The show definitely not the best and is presenting beefs that seem dumb and/or fake.
Robyn is the worst cast member and earn your leisure is very inspirational and motivational and if someone doesn’t get anything from them, that’s on that person. Production chooses what to highlight and what footage to air, how can someone not know that.
I am SO grateful she spoke up and shut it down. So sick of these gossipy, trashy views of women of color in business. Period. We need to see more of this. Until we demand more we will never have more. Quiana is amazing. No one can tell me anything differently.
Thank you for sharing your IVF experience Quiana, hopefully OWN will be more transparent with their cast for season two about what is expected. I can see the production side too though because they did have to show the relationship between the ladies or the concept doesn’t really make sense.
I just love her. She's not looking for fame. Just a woman about her business, growth, and the empowerment of other people. Intelligent, beauty and with a heart.
Then she should have never came on TV if she didnt want fame. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t blame her. This showed could have being a million dollar listing type show with a predominant black brokers/relators but they decided to make it a drama filled show like there isn’t any already on tv/streaming service. They missed the boat on this one.
Well million dollar listing was kinda drama filler. I mean with Christine Quinn !!!
@@Bridiegnombo no,, that’s selling sunset. Million dollar listing is purely real estate.
First episode it had THAT element. I already knew where it was going. People forget OWN is now owned by Discovery aka old WM.

I don’t think any of these Reality shows on OWN will be drama free to be honest.
Shout out to Quiana for taking a stand and knowing her worth. I liked her before but I love her now. She is a great example for all women. The interview was fantastic.

Exactly! She has a bad attitude.
I love her. I would love to see a series about her business, helping everyday people navigate Atlanta real estate.
Totally appreciate Quiana's take on this. We see massive deals on Million Dollar Listing NY & LA and there may be some small drama, but we see serious real estate deals and business savvy! We should have that same energy and information on our Black real estate shows! Stop pushing all the drama to the front and pulling all the excellent business moves to the back! Love this interview and her take!!!
Yup
Agreed!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amen!
Thx for sharing your ivf story. To see another black women going to that struggle is everything because im going through it now. Strenght, love and place in Jesus name.
❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I'm so so very proud of her! I'm going to support her brokage firm as much as I possibly I can because she's a real one that cares about how we are perceived as Black females, these women don't get they not laughing with you, they laughing at you acting a fool on TV!
You are so right!
Facts!
I so agree with her she is too talented for all the drama it mostly black woman fighting with each other’s I thought it was going to be these amazing black woman being successful in their real-estate I watch it for the first time this weekend I was so disappointed because all they wanted is black woman arguing with each other you are a princess I am so happy you walk away from drama Godbless you keep up the amazing job
You were one of my favorite
I also was disappointed with the petty fighting. The polyamory storyline was so staged. 🙄
I love her Integrity!!!!!
I respect her decision. We deserve to be on tv as professionals , we deserve to show other black people that we are and can be successful in the professional field. Good job Quiana for walking away. We want more real estate !
I just find it funny that she didnt name or consider Robin a friend, yet called her first to help with her business during the pandemic. She is still holding a grudge against Robin because of a $500 misunderstanding she didnt take the time to clarify. Its very telling that she is close with Cristal and Kyra. I like Tiffany a lot. She is able to showcase her business without the drama so why couldn't Quiana😩
I was thinking the SAME when it came to her & Robin. Perhaps she liked it to what she thought was just a business relationship in asking her to hold her license.
Im not buying it. She couldve handled this differently. We did see her business. She couldve just not returned to th show and announced it at the end of the season, without throwing production under the bus. She thought she would be the main character and she's not.
I think it's pretty self-serving the way she's handling her decision to not return NEXT season. I thought she quit in the midst of this season. Don't seem very gracious or professional of her to tour while low-key trahing the show. The audience can makeup our own mind about the show. Think her exit tour is a disserve to the remaining cast mates.
Kempire thank you so much for this interview! Quiana is so smart and interesting. I would’ve loved to see her selling real estate on the show. Her vision of the show is what we all wanted: lots of real estate with a sprinkle of drama. I wish Quiana the best! ♥️♥️♥️
🙌🏾 Thank you Quiana for walking away from a situation that loves to make our people look like 🤡 on television. It is so important to how we hold ourselves and values and we have the power to change our image in media. All money is not good money and you don’t want to ruin or damage your reputation or integrity all for a coin. Our people have to do away with doing any and everything for a coin.
She’s deffo my fave. She’s the most successful one and she shared her beautiful family and amazing business with her.
I love Quiana very driven and professional ❣️
Oh Nooooo Quiana is my favorite🙁Very Beautiful and Classy Lady…
So proud of you @Kempire! You’re doing the daggone thang! Love your content 😍
Great interview. Luv this sister for knowing her worth and using them(Own) also. Can't wait to see her content.
Sprinkles of drama is okay, but the hot messiness from the ladies takes away from the show. Over it! Applauding Lady Q walking away with dignity.
She kept flip flopping between the 26 or 29 contracts that she alleged Robyn wanted $500 a piece to hold, which ended up being a whole misunderstanding on her part. She never seemed believe/credible in my eyes. She may be a nice lady/good business owner, but she seems shady....😶
She lied on that part 😒😒😒
Carlos King are you listening we need a show with black people showing a person going through the whole process of actually buying a home. The good parts and the bad parts of home buying and the market.
They r trying to make it more drama filled and it's ridiculous!!
No one would watch it , we’ve seen these type of shows fail because of lack of viewership .
Tell them too create shows for African Americans on HGTV 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒 selling n buying homes we all seen Egypt who host reunion on own with her husband n family this year yall want positive image right get on that net work programming look at that's picture over there
Quiana is a true example of a boss, I loved watching her she's classy and a true realtor..
@Kempire I know this was unplanned for Quiana to come thru but you were READY and it was a great interview. You asked what the people wanted to know. OWN come get your boi.
no ... not OWN, we'e saving him for another one lol
I respect and admire Quiana even more now. She made the best decision for her. And I am looking forward to hearing more about the business side and learning from her.
Thank you Quiana. 😊 I wish the other female professionals associated with the show would stand up and be honest about what this show should be about.
Delusional if you hadn’t thought that reality tv was messy - it’s going the way I expected even before it aired - she didn’t like how she came off personality wise
You’re totally correct. Now she’s trying to do damage control. They can’t edit nothing you don’t give them .
She came off just fine. Robin, on the other hand, Robin came off like a delusional, poorly raised, rude jerk.
How many temporal tantrums did we need to watch? How old you need to be to know to keep your dam hands to yourself.
I love this woman’s energy 👏🏾❤️
“You can be known for reality tv or…” or you can keep it all the way real 👌🏾
She is saying the same thing that DJ Envy, said about the show in Tampa
What dj envy was totally different from what she said. She specifically brought up production whereas envy called the ladies at Tampa embarrassing and only brought up production when the girls checked him.
I love her stance! Don’t ever let another mishandle you. 💕
Actually, am I the only one who believes she quit due to her true portrayal on the show. Also, in her confessionals (I agree with Jami That's Me) she only references the drama and not her business. I do not believe her. She is angry about her reality being portrayed on a reality show @KempireDaily #KempireDaily
And That Robin is getting all the spot light & not her🤷🏾♀️
Quiana I enjoyed this interview. I am from NC and was immediately drawn to you when I saw the first episode. Your ethics are commendable! Thanks for sharing so much info about reality TV as you experienced it. Best wishes!
She seems to be giving herself a lot of grace in whatever happened on the next episode. Very different from how she played up Robin's "being human", elevating it to a "physical assault".
Exactly my point…She knows what she’s doing and taking accountability for her actions isn’t one of them.
She’s admitting to projecting and admitting that her old side came out. Not sure how much more accountability ppl want. She def shouldn’t beat herself up.
As far as Robin, that was battery and not assault. Battery is the touching of another person without their consent. She smacked her hand (a grown woman like she was getting on her child). Cristyl was wrong, but there is no excuse for that.
Yeah, I'm not buying this. She thought she would be the IT girl but ppl went the other way. She gave them the ammo and now wants to backtrack
Boom!
@@ThinkingLikeAVIRTUOUSWoman yall need to stop telling grown ppl how to react when they have been disrespected.
I liked her before, but I really appreciate and love her now. I just subscribed to her RUclips channel and will be following heron all platforms. She is about her business and I am inspired by it
Quiana called it right, "trash television." The producers definitely bait and switch, and tie them up with a contract. Quiana chose herself. Good for her! 💯
Bravo to Quiana Watson for keeping it real 😊😊😊Go Girl Classy 😊😊😊
I like her even more! The honesty is so rare.
I just knew that after the episode aired with her talking with her husband about the no deal with Robin that it was too much drama for all of the real life business Mrs. Watson as well as her husband and the other ladies has going on…Personally after the first episode, I questioned who’s idea was it to have this show. It was giving me sabotaging vibes. I am happy that just as abruptly as the drama began that Mrs. Watson abruptly quit. And didn’t waste time announcing it. You go Mrs. Watson and may the Lord bless you and your husband with as many children y’all’s heart desire.
Quiana love your professionalism . I like that you protect your craft. Bravo to you .
Her voice is so calming
I appreciate Quiana's honesty. This show could've been so much more and like other reality shows, it just want to showcase drama. This ATL cast is BEAUTIFUL and I was expecting more based on reviews I was seeing online, but it's no different from Selling Tampa.
Girl Bye you knew what "reality tv" was. She literally held on to an issue for a year to bring it up on reality tv. Chyle you thought you was gonna be the star and that didn't happen.
I kinda Agree. I do understand he deciding to leave but they show the Other Women Selling. Did she want to be more HIGHLIGHTED than the others. She showed some ghettoness with Robyn, so why she Pissed if Robyn DIDN'T Help her since, she DIDN'T consider Robyn to be a friend AND she brought that Drama to REALITY TV after 1-2 years.
The way she's handling the decision not to return next season. Her timing and the interviews and youtubes shows seems like a press tour.
Exactly.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great interview! I DEFINITELY was interested in the show initially. I am absolutely looking forward to the content she will be doing in the future. A little drama is ok but this show has too much of it and not enough "listing". Much success to her. It is a hard situation to be in when you want black shows to succeed but not at the price of showing us in a consistent bad light ❤.
“When someone mishandles you once, why would you give them an opportunity to mishandle you again.” Saints that’s a worddddddd 🙌🏾
Now she’s my favorite! Blessing to Quiana for standing up for herself. Kudos👌🏾👌🏾
Don’t go back it’s not worth it I am so proud of you best blk woman ever
Another great interview Ke👑pire!!!! Keep them coming! You’re showing everyone that you are truly a force to reckon with!. They better watch out for you. So proud of you 👏🏽
Nothing but RESPECT for this Queen ❤
I just watched this show all 8 this week and the first and so far person I started following is Quiana! She is such a boss and I loved seeing her parts so was quite surprised she quit the show! But now I understand. Wish her nothing but the best!💕
If you don't act ghetto, then they can't show ghetto. Plain and simple
Loving this woman of integrity 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🙌🏾🙌🏾👊🏽
This women is what we need more of. She is a great representation of the educated, successful, articulate, black women that this world is filled of but you’ll never see due to how the media always wants to portray us. She was my favorite on the show and even more so now that I’ve listened to her on this video. She embodies 👑 indeed!
God Bless you Quiana, well-spoken and verse, continued success in all your future and current endeavors!
I feel like production & show owners are doing this because it's black women. All the "black " shows, especially women are built on DRAMA, fighting and cussing. Look at Chrisly Knows best...no drama, several seasons. Why can't this be done for black folks?
because i've flat out hear "black" folks say if there's no drama what are we watching,? LAMH was a show about building houses, look how that turned out. Same with selling Tampa. Infact let me show you "per verbatum" how our black folks think, this is copy paste: .... below
"You get to see properties much better, there's some actual selling, there's selling skills, great fashion, and _[lots of drama between the girls]_
"I've been watching real estate shows for years and I dabbled in the industry myself some years ago and to me most of them seem unprofessional. _[But I will keep watching]_ because I like _[trash tv]_ like housewives and this seems like it is leaning that way."
Absolutely
These people know what type of shows these are usually when they sign up. If they want to do shows on real estate why not try to go on HGTV instead of OWN & Netflix?
I love that how she confidently says this is not an opportunity for her. Mrs. Quiana knows her worth and takes ownership of how she is presented and represented out here. It's refreshing...and I love the firm NO's.
Dj envy from the breakfast club spoke on this and people did not want to hear it, so Glad this Queen not only spoke up but stood up
God, please bless this lady with a child.
What an amazing spirit!!
Great interview ~
It's Kempire's facial expressions for me.....lifeeeeeee hunniiii
No one will watch a show without drama. I think it was better than the Netflix show and honestly showed more of the real estate aspect.
@nicklebaby I agree. I thought Ladies who list was better than Selling Tampa. They definitely showed more homes and appeared to be more realistic. However LWLA drug out the storyline with Robin & Kiana, Robin & Cris and Robin & Quiana. I can definitely see why Q quit the show. I felt Robin definitely should have quit as well because it did not paint her in a good light at all (I'm not even referring to her mental health challenges).
I love her decision.Of keeping black women's business in high standard. 👏🏼 🙌🏾
I love Quiana... She is beautiful, driven and smart. She has a wonderful sense of style too. I used to love seeing her in the show
I love how REAL this woman is! She has been my favorite from day one, a real boss lady. After listening to this I love her even more. I wish her the very best!
And this is why Quiana is/was my favorite on this show. I love that she has a voice and not afraid to use it. Good job sistah Quiana for standing firm on your decision and controlling your OWN narrative!!!
Integrity is a hell of a thing ..that most don’t have .Good for you Quiana.
Don’t watch the show. This interview has drawn me to her. Her scope and sequence of personal convictions is refreshing.
This is a business woman & she’s been promoting self care for as long as I’ve been following her. She was speaking on healing & self love 10 years ago…Her actions have truly opened my eyes to truly live in my truth….
I’m sorry she does come off immature on the show though. Her perspective is warped something like a mean girl… I wish I would’ve seen her in the boss element more…maybe she’s more grounded in that area
Another great interview Kempire 👑
I’m so proud of this woman! She’s a wonderful representation of what a strong woman should be.
Quiana turned me off during this interview. She comes off as extremely cocky and the show showed what she gave them. If you wanted them to show you selling houses, why didn’t you sell houses for them to show instead of discussing petty BS with Robyn?
Seems like Quiana wanted her own show to highlight her many businesses. When you’re on a show in an ensemble cast, clearly the entire show isn’t gonna be about YOUR everything. I’ve seen a lot of business from the women, so I’m not sure what else she wants. Even on shows like Million Dollar Listing, they’re on their listing, but they are also bout that petty drama.
I smell marketing strategy. She only intended to do one season, which gets her many businesses 8 episodes of exposure. Mid-season she announces she’s quitting, claiming moral indignation. Now for the remainder of season one she gets to campaign on as many platforms as possible “explaining why she quit”.
@@gracedarlin3331 Right!!
I appreciate Quiana staying true to who she is personally and in business.
The audience doesn’t want all the drama; I think production wants to portray these black women in that light. She is so right they create a storyboard and then choose people to fill that part.
I’m so glad she stood up for herself.
Kempire, you’re such a great interviewer.❤️
She gave them what we saw. She seems pretty immature and petty. Quiana is probably upset she’s being depicted as she is. He comment that not only did she want to be mad at Robin, she wanted the other ladies to be mad at her too. What does production have to do about that. Also, a lot on creators on Earn Your Leisure are straight cappers, so I have another side eye about this lady. The show definitely not the best and is presenting beefs that seem dumb and/or fake.
Robyn is the worst cast member and earn your leisure is very inspirational and motivational and if someone doesn’t get anything from them, that’s on that person. Production chooses what to highlight and what footage to air, how can someone not know that.
@@02nupe Robin is the most authentic cast member and very likable.
I am SO grateful she spoke up and shut it down. So sick of these gossipy, trashy views of women of color in business. Period. We need to see more of this. Until we demand more we will never have more. Quiana is amazing. No one can tell me anything differently.
Thank you for sharing your IVF experience Quiana, hopefully OWN will be more transparent with their cast for season two about what is expected. I can see the production side too though because they did have to show the relationship between the ladies or the concept doesn’t really make sense.
