China Doll: 0:00

Back by popular demand, it's me, China Doll. And this time, I brought my girl Rochelle with me. Master Silk is handling high-stakes business across the pond. But don't trip. The legacy he built is still alive and loud. Hit that follow button. Drop a five-star rating. And if you're one of the people Silk changed forever, send your love or your questions. to let me pull your coat at gmail.com. We see you. Welcome back. As you know, I'm holding it down while Silk is out the country. And with me today is a woman I've known for over 20 years, Rochelle, also known as Lucky. Now don't let the beauty fool you, she's seen the blade, walked the fire, and now she's out here buying property and building teams.

Rochelle/Lucky: 0:49

Thank you, sis. Listen, I was a dancer. I was... An escort. I was a blade runner. I thought I had it all figured out. I was making cash money every day. But, to be honest, I had nothing to show for it. A few trinkets, maybe some clothes and shoes. Don't get me wrong. I looked like I had it all worked out. That is, until we chose Silk. And he sat me down and showed me what real game, guidance, and leadership looked like. Now, I own my own, now I own a boutique and a logistics company. All legit, and it's all mine.

China Doll: 1:29

That's why I had to bring you on today. We get a lot of questions from women in the game, from women out the game, and from women trying to find their way once they left the game. So, we gon' pull some coats today, and do it like Silk taught us. We're gonna do it raw, real, and with love. Let's get it. First up, we've got Hannah from New York. She says, I'm going to ask the question that everybody wants to know. Does Silk still have girls choose him? And does he still send girls? Well, right off the get-go, Lucky, you want to take this

Rochelle/Lucky: 2:10

Thanks for throwing me under the bus. Well, Hannah, let me put it like this. I never discuss another person's business. I'd rather you contact him directly for that answer. Just send him an email and put, for Silk's eyes only, in the subject line. This way, he'll know it's not meant for the podcast, just him.

China Doll: 2:31

I was stumped on that one. I was like, should I or shouldn't I? Okay, moving on. Next, we got Alicia from Korea. She says... I left the escort life two years ago, but feel like people still define me by it. Any advice on how to rebuild my image?

Rochelle/Lucky: 2:49

First, you have to own your truth. People are gonna whisper whether you broke or ballin'. What matters is how you carry it. When I opened my first shop, folks remembered the dancer, not the boss. I didn't argue, I remember I had a customer say, Weren't you that girl from Club Eclipse? I smiled and said, yes. And now I own this store. Eventually they stopped asking. Time and receipts will do the talking.

China Doll: 3:22

Period. I tell them all the time, you can't be ashamed of your past if it paid your future. My first beauty studio? I funded it with money I saved while still working at the club. Silk made sure we weren't just spending on shoes and bags. He used to say, if you gon' be in the game, at least treat it like a business.

Rochelle/Lucky: 3:46

Now we got DeAndre from Memphis. He says, I'm dating a woman who used to dance. I respect her grind, but I'm nervous introducing her to my mom. What should I do?

China Doll: 3:58

Are you a grown-ass man or a mama's boy? Because you can't say you respect her if you're ashamed to show her off. I dated a guy who made me feel like I was good enough to sleep with and spend my money, but not good enough to bring to his church. I bounced. Respect starts with exposure. If you're ashamed of who she was, then you don't deserve who she's become. As Silk always says, you got your hat, get your coat, and agitate the gravel. Because you don't deserve her... or her love. She ain't a damn secret. Like me and Lucky, she's the fucking success story.

Rochelle/Lucky: 4:38

This one from Giovanna in Serbia. She writes, I want to start a beauty business, but I have no formal education. Is that even possible? Education is great. Built a whole enterprise off hustle. Good credit and mentorship. When I started my courier business, I didn't know a damn thing about logistics. Silk connected me with a retired trucker who taught me everything over hot wings and beer. Start small. Learn daily. And get yourself a mentor or business coach. Knowledge ain't just in books. It's in experience.

China Doll: 5:17

Giovanna. I opened my last studio before I ever went to esthetician school. I learned on YouTube, practiced on mannequins, then reinvested my first $1,000 profit into real training. If you wait to feel ready, you'll never start. Next up, Kevin from New Jersey. Why do y'all women say loyalty matters more than love? Kevin, love is a feeling. Loyalty is an action. People can love you and still betray you. Loyalty says I got your back, even when love

Rochelle/Lucky: 5:51

I had a man say he loved me while putting me in harm's way every night for his benefit. He'd smile in my face, but he'd leave me hanging when it mattered most. Meanwhile, I had another man, a homeboy from back in my early days, who loaned me $5,000 with no questions asked when my mom got sick. Like... Never said he loved me. Never tried to sleep with me. Just showed up and did what needed to be done. That's loyalty. it's rare That's who I keep close.

China Doll: 6:27

Now we got Brielle from Atlanta. How did y'all go from stripping to stock portfolios? It sounds like a broken record, but it was all silk. He made us save. Then he would match our money, dollar for dollar. He sat us down and taught us how to read contracts, invest and rate, flip property. I remember him telling me, baby girl, your looks can open the door, but your paperwork keeps you in the building. I didn't even know what equity was. Now I'm teaching my nieces and any woman that wants to move up

Rochelle/Lucky: 7:34

That’s all facts. Silk had me sitting in meetings with bankers and lawyers when I was still doing makeup backstage. He taught me how to negotiate my first lease. I still got the folder labeled “Silk School” — with all the business plans and budgets we wrote. It wasn’t just about getting out the game — it was about getting ahead of it.Next is Maritza from San Diego. “Is it possible to forgive a man who cheated on you while you were pregnant?

China Doll: 7:34

Maritza, you can forgive. You don't have to stay. Girl, that question alone is everything. I had a similar situation. He told me he cheated because he was stressed about becoming a dad. Like, my swollen feet and sleepless nights didn't count. I forgave him for me not to keep him. That freedom? Priceless. And now, my son sees his mama thriving, respected, and not settling. I left mine and rebuilt with peace. Never confuse healing with holding on. I had to look in the mirror and ask, do I want to raise a child watching me accept this? We've got a few more left. If you are picking up what we're putting down, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. Be sure to share this with anyone you feel may need it. Okay, next up we have Luca from Italy. He asks, is it true that that the game still follows you, no matter how far you run. First off, Luka, why run from it? The world is the game. You can't get through life without having some game about you. Accept the game is what keeps the world turning. Either you learn to navigate and use the game or spend the rest of your life being a Mark

Rochelle/Lucky: 8:54

Exactly, Silk always said, if you tell your own story, nobody can use it against you.

China Doll: 9:01

Sorry, y'all, but Lucky's mic is acting up. Hopefully, we'll get her back. This one's from Joy in Chicago. How do I stop letting men use me financially? Well, Joy, by closing your legs and your wallet. Then open your eyes. If you feel like a sponsor and not a partner, you already know what time it is. Ask yourself this. Would he give a shit if you had nothing? Or is his love only transactional? Here's one from Miguel in El Paso. Why do successful women intimidate men? Insecure men fear what they can't control. Real men, we celebrate it. Silk never flinched when I said I wanted to own five businesses, he said. Why not make it six? That man build bosses, not puppets. All of his girls left with a portfolio, retirement fund and property. Just because you can piss standing up, don't make you a man. It makes you male. If you can't see what a woman is worth to you as a partner, you may as well stay single. We all don't want what you have. Some of us already have it and looking for someone to share it with so that we both can rise up. This one isn't a question, but I'm the man included because it made me smile. Here's a really big shout out to Brian A. from Miami, Florida, who sent us a selfie of him rocking the hoodie he received from us. Brian says, thanks to Silk's advice, I finally started my landscaping business. Using Silk's method, I already have four bona fide contracts. Brian, we see you, but stay grinding and rock that hoodie with pride. Here's your Coat Pull of the Week. If you want to know who really believes in you, watch who claps when you win and who disappears when you fail. Your past can explain you, but it should never define you. Every chapter ain't meant to be re-read. Before we close out, we got to show love to a few folks who've been riding with us heavy. Big salute to Keisha B. from Detroit. She said our last episode... gave her the push she needed to walk out that toxic salon job and finally open her own lash suite. Sis, you did that. And shout out to Tony in London. He's been sharing the podcast every week on his IG stories and even sent in a question for next time. We see you. Oh, and major love to Miss J from Houston, who donated three podcast hoodies to women at a halfway house. That's real community work. Sorry that we lost Lucky, but she promised to stop back by when she's in town again. This episode is proof that Silk's legacy lives on. Me, Rochelle, and several other former track stars are living proof that you can elevate your life by picking up what we're putting down. We were part of Silk's plan. He didn't save us.
