patients who were in car accidents and I go to the hospitals to get all of their information for attorneys. I make my own time and hours. I make my own schedule. I do a lot of community outreach, & mentoring of young girls from ages 11 through 18. I’m part of an organization called Beauty and the Boss, to show that you can have all these things going on and be beautiful and on TV, but they see you’re still getting out here working. We do like a vision board and have them make promises to themselves. I stay pretty busy.

U.G. Digital Mag: The beauty is you took what you went to school for and turned it into something that works for you.

Ms. Sina Bina: But I paid my dues though, clocking in and out [laughing].

U.G. Digital Mag: Exactly. But you want to always elevate and grow. It would be just the same as someone in the hospital that stays in certain areas for 30 years, or they become complacent. It doesn’t hurt to move around, and grow.

Ms. Sina Bina: I appreciate that.

U.G. Digital Mag: You had the catering company too, right?

Ms. Sina Bina: Heck yea. It’s hard though. I’m so busy from cooking. It’s a passion though. I have a catering company called Sassy Flavors, me and my partner Renee. When I was filming season 4, we were really busy with lunches, meals and stuff. We did a lot of catering. I got so busy. She still keeps it up. I do private things, like maybe a party of 20-30, and I will cater myself. Now, with tv, I want to take it to another place. I’m working on a show called The Social Take, here on Comcast channel 25, and I’ll start filming that. It was going to be me and Shay Johnson, but she moved to Miami, and she’s doing some filming there. I’m trying to see if we’ll still do it together.

U.G. Digital Mag: That would be so dope.

Ms. Sina Bina: It would be. It would be so dope. It’s called The Social Take, and it’s interviewing entertainers and people who travel like ourselves, and are always in other cities working and don’t know what they’re going to eat. So we’ll find out what they’re go-to foods are when they travel, and we’ll be making those foods for them while we talk about what they have going on in the industry.

U.G. Digital Mag: That is so dope. I look forward to that.

Ms. Sina Bina: I appreciate that. I’m also doing a show on iHeart radio. It’s a satellite show and I do that everyday at 6:15pm. Then after everything I just said, I still have infant twins.

U.G. Digital Mag: All of this is awesome. I wish everything was highlighted more. Where, business wise, do you want to go from here? Can you logically fit anything else in?

Ms. Sina Bina: I don’t think I logically can. The only thing I still want to do, and I’m struggling with it right now, is a podcast with 50/50 magazine. I have no idea how we’ll do it, because we film videos and travel a lot, but it’s going to get done. I really want to be on the radio on a local station here in Atlanta. I can see myself retiring in that. I can’t see myself as an actress, like in movies and stuff like that. I do want to touch on some of those things, and I have done a few movies, one in particular called “Peaches”. We started working on that, but there’s something going on with the director and his direction of the movie. What I’ve seen, I do like it, but I don’t see it as long-term. I see retirement, radio and restaurants.

U.G. Digital Mag: Again, I love your drive. You’re doing so good for our culture and bringing awareness to what we can really do. I’m glad we can expand upon that through this feature. That’s what we’re all about. I’m so grateful for you. What type of words of encouragement do you offer?

Ms. Sina Bina: What I would say is keep going and keep grinding. If you give up, when you get on TV, it’s a lot of girls who give up and can’t find their niche. For anything you have going on, have something in order. Have a
