With the show in full swing are you replaying parts you wish you did differently? 

Siya: There’s going to be a lot of shit that we’re going to get that feeling about and cringe about.

Nyemiah Supreme: I’m trying not to over critique myself when I see myself so I don’t go like ‘why didn’t they tell me my hair was sticking up? All of ya’ll were standing here and nobody told me nothing.’ I don’t want to see no Memes of me on Instagram or on Twitter like “Weave Be Like” or you know. I have fears of what I would do to people on shows.

Why do you think reality TV gets a bad rep of only showing women as petty and catty?

Diamond: I think naturally women are emotional but a lot of this stuff is for us it wasn’t set up. A lot of that stuff is staged and set up. This was real feelings, how we felt at the time and we were able to talk about it, hash it out. It’s not like issues didn’t come up but it just depends on the person and what they have to lose. We all have a brand. We all have something to lose. We’re not trying to take it all the way there because we’re still artists at the end of the day. I think it has a lot to do with Oxygen.

Siya: We all have self-respect. All these ladies sitting at this table, all of these women that I’ve gotten the opportunity to really know they all have self respect for each other and for each other’s brand. We all support each other and if we have a disagreement we’re all grown enough to be like ‘fuck you, I hated you then but you my nigga at the end of the day.’

Who orchestrated praying together?

Brianna Perry: We’re all firm believers in God.

Diamond: Siya has this rule that when we’re out we can’t have our phones.

Bia: No, that’s my rule.

Diamond: Oh that was your rule, I’m sorry Bia’s rule. So the first person that grabs their phone has to pay for the meal and we put them on top of each other. So my alarm went off and they were like, ‘Diamond you gotta pay for it.’ And I was like ‘no, no it’s my prayer.’ And I was like look. They were like ‘if we see this and somebody calling you, you gotta pay for the bill.’ So when I flipped it over and it showed we were all like ‘oh you pray that’s dope.’ They believe in God so we all just decided to do it together. Most of the time we’re together anyway.

Nyemiah Supreme: Remind us to be positive. Just be thankful for this opportunity. I know when I first got into it I would have my own things, just like depression or being in my own thoughts and I would forget to be grateful for all the opportunity I have. So we have these reminders on our phone to just remember to say thank you.

Bia: We love God, we love anything that has to do with spiritual. I brought my pastor on the show. I did a Skype with him because he’s just such a huge part of my life and just my growth as a woman so I just wanted to show people, especially like you don’t have to believe in God you can believe in whoever you want to believe in but let there be something that brings your faith to a higher power. Let there be something that brings you to a higher level. We preach that.
