Product placement

Anima Iris: ACTS - The creator owns a handbag factory and manufactures handbags under this brand. The video shows the process of packing and transporting these handbags. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Delta: APPEARS - The airline is mentioned and shown as the mode of transport. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, but would remove context for the travel method.

Today we're flying with all my handbag inventory to save $10,000 on shipping. My bags are manufactured in Senegal in my handbag factory that I own. So I make sure to go to Senegal every couple of weeks to not only check in on my team, but also work on new designs. And every time I go, I always fly back with a lot of handbag inventory because why ship them back to New York when I can just add them as checked luggage? And by flying with Delta, I'm able to check up to 10 bags at a time. And because I'm Diamond Medallion, I get three bags checked for free. And then I just pay to check in the rest of the boxes. Speaking of being Diamond Medallion, I got a cute little upgrade to Delta One. That was such a nice surprise. I was originally in Premium Select because y'all know I do not play by my comfortability. Now, if you've been keeping up with my posts, you know that I recently moved my manufacturing facility. We literally packed up the entire facility. And when I tell you guys, long story short, things did not go as planned. I don't know if and how I'll tell the story of what happened this weekend. But my biggest takeaway from these last couple of days was just simply a reminder that what I am building with Anima Iris is incredibly difficult. However, nothing worth building is going to be easy.
