More aerial footage of Brooklyn is shown, 
then we see a crowded city street with older 
buildings and businesses that look run down 
with graffiti painted on walls. Close ups of 
business signs are shown.

(Speaker: Angela Yee)
I know growing up in Brooklyn, all we had where 
I grew up was like you know the supermarket 
was just really dumpy, and the lights were falling down 
and the food was all expired. You know we grew up 
with the chicken spots and the pizza places, and 
the hot dog stands, and the liquor stores and 
all of that.

Angela Yee walks down streets of Brooklyn. 
 
(Speaker: Angela Yee)
So, I do like the fact that certain things are being 
brought into these neighborhoods, but I really think 
that it's important for us to focus on being the people 
that are bringing those things into the neighborhood.

Close up of Juices for Life business sign, then 
image switches to Subway station with an 
advertisement for her business on a sign
about the stairs. 
 
(Speaker: Angela Yee)
I'm Angela Yee, and most people know me 
as one of the hosts on “The Breakfast Club,” but 
I also opened up Juices for Life, which is a juice bar 
in Brooklyn, and I did that a year and a half ago.

Angela Yee walks into Juices for Life. Camera pans
inside of store which consists of a long, narrow space. 
Stools line the right wall and a glass counter filled 
with fresh ingredients and kitchen space lines the left. 

(Text on Screen)
Juices for Life is open 7 days a week
 
(Speaker: Angela Yee)
Opening this juice bar, even if it didn't make any money, 
was kind of like me giving back. Instead of me taking money 
and just donating it, it was actually opening a brick and mortar, 
something that I could see the results. 

(Image)
Angela Yee at Juices for life reaches inside a cooler 
filled with fresh fruit and pulls out a pineapple. We 
then see her slicing the pineapple on the counter into 
chunks then tossing the fruit into an industrial juicer. 
Close up of apples in the cooler is then seen. Angela 
then pours juice collect from juicer into a clear plastic cup, 
seals it with a lid and hands it over the counter to a customer.

I saw Styles P and Jadakiss open their juice bar. I saw 
them talking about it, and I was like, you know what instead 
of me trying to do something like this on my own, 
I would love to partner up with somebody that already 
has an existing business and can help me out.

Close of up Liquor Store interior. Then we see an older 
man talking to an Angela Yee from Juices for Life. Angela 
is holding a tray of various mixed juices and handing out 
samples to people in the community. 

(Speaker: Older Man on Street) 
We got a liquor store on every corner, every corner. 
But you know what though? You got kids with asthma, 
you got kids stomach problems, you got this and that. 
You know. And Juice for Life. Oh man. We need this so bad. 
We need a turnaround.

We see the outside of Juices for Life again, then 
an inside mural on the wall which consists of large 
paintings of various fruits: banana, pineapple, watermelon.

We see words written on a window: Always Fresh. 
Then image switches to Angela handing out small samples 
to customers inside store. Image switches again to 
see more juices being prepared and mixed by an 
employee in the store.

(Speaker: Angela Yee)
I've had people come in and tell me, you know my whole 
life I've never had vegetables and I've never tried this, 
and this is great for me. I feel so much better. I've had 
people who lost weight. One man lost 30 pounds you know 
in the first few months that we opened. Because he 
was coming in every single day and getting a juice. 
And he was getting a juice for another woman who 
lived in his building who has cancer. And he was like, 
it was what she looks forward to every day was him 
bringing her a juice.

Close up of subway, then back to Angela Yee 
walking down a street in Brooklyn.

(Speaker: Angela Yee)
Even if the juice bar, we end up just breaking 
even or not making any money, it's more important to me 
that people can say, “Oh my God your juice bar 
changed my life.”
