And she signed me and there went 92 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: my dance career. 93 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: I started auditioning for acting roles and about six months 94 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: later I booked Bring it on. 95 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: Dude, that's freaking awesome. And see it's because how bold 96 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: you were that you were just like, I don't know, 97 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: I just I mean, being outspoken and not being afraid 98 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: to ask questions is so powerful, especially at that age. 99 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: So I freaking applaud you for that. 100 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Thank you. I lost that, but thank you at the time. 101 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, what happens is that the world happens, 102 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 2: and then you know, we life and we become a 103 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: little bit more. I don't know if the word is 104 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: afraid because of what people may think or what they say, 105 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: but like like they always say, when you're young, you 106 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: don't think about, oh, I'm going to get on that 107 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: roller coaster, like you just want to get on it, 108 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: and you don't think of like the consequences. I think 109 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: that's what happens. We start thinking of consequences and shit, 110 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 2: and then we lose that like free spirit. Maybe I 111 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: don't know, but you seem like a very confident, like 112 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: outspoken woman though. 113 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: Now I am. 114 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I lost a lot of that confidence for a while. 115 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: I think it's because we start getting introduced to rejection. 116 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: You know, as young kids. I think our parents are 117 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 3: constantly trying to cheer a song, which is amazing, but 118 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: in cheering a song and telling us we could do it, 119 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: they should probably also tell us that, like, sometimes it 120 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: might not happen, and it's okay. 121 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: Other people deserve to win as well. 122 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: Right, And so when you don't win, and you gain 123 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: that competitive nature, and then you go out in the 124 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 3: real world and you realize everything your parents told you 125 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: it's true, but that doesn't mean that everything is meant 126 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: for you, or that doesn't mean everything goes your way. 127 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: So we start losing that and it's like this whole 128 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: identity crisis that we go through and then you know, 129 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: whether we want to. 130 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: Accept it or not. You know, a lot of us 131 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: need to therapy. 132 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: And in twenty fourteen, that's when I first started seeking it. 133 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 3: People were concerned, and I think in twenty twenty, the 134 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 3: forced rest that we all had to endure was probably 135 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: I hate that so many people lost their lives. It's 136 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: probably the best thing that ever happened to me. And 137 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: I think that break helped me to figure myself out 138 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: and understand everything that I'm talking about right now and 139 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: be the and bring back my confidence. I also dured 140 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: my hair a month ago, so that also made me 141 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: feel like just the rabbit and I feel like a 142 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: whole new person. 143 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: Love it. 144 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: So as a poison yesterday and I was like, yeah, yeah, 145 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: her too. 146 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: He too, Yeah, her too, her too. 147 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I love it. 148 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: I've been wanting to do my hair like dye my 149 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: hair red for so long. My hairstyleist just won't do 150 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: it because my hair, I have a lot of hair, 151 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: it's just very thin. So I just I got to 152 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 2: like let it rest a little bit. But it looks 153 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: beautiful on you. And I think, like, you know what 154 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: you said right now, Sometimes like we're going through a 155 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: breakup or something like horrible, like we want to make 156 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: some type of external change and it just helps us internally. 157 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: So I totally get that, and I'm glad. I'm huge. 158 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: I'm a huge advocate for you know, seeking therapy and 159 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: doing therapy and life coaching. I've been doing it since 160 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: I was twelve, and it's helped me so much because 161 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: sometimes I think, like shit, like I've been through so 162 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: many things, how the heck did I get here?

I mean, so I'm assuming, yes, but I'll 263 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: admit at the same time, my dad did raise me 264 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 3: to be a brad, like he really did.

Okay, So let's 316 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: talk a little bit about mental health because it is 317 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: something that I've gone through and I want to know 318 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: what your take is on it, especially ever since you 319 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: know the pandemic, and I think that's when most of us, 320 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: like felt the anxiety and depression. I know I did hardcore, 321 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: but it helped me. What is your take on on 322 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: what's going on and if we should speak about it 323 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: a little bit more, especially in our culture. 324 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: Well in our culture especially, I think it's super important 325 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: to talk about. And the reason I constantly ask people 326 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: what generation they are because I'm understanding that each generation 327 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: goes through something different. I'm first generation, so I'm literally like, okay, 328 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: navigating two worlds, and my parents think that if I 329 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: go to therapy, I'm going to end up in a 330 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: psych word, like there's such a stigma behind it. I 331 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: would encourage I'm first generation, so my kids would be 332 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: second generation, so I would actually encourage that now that 333 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: those kinds have just changed, like it's actually just recent. 334 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: I think the pandemic opened the doors to a lot 335 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,479 Speaker 3: and I appreciate that the world is now more understanding 336 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 3: of mental health issues and what it can cause us 337 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: because now we have a lot more resources. But in 338 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 3: our culture, man, it's just so important for us to 339 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: talk about us navigating two worlds, especially because we look 340 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: different and we're in a season of unlearning a lot 341 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: of things culturally, politically, human wise. 342 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: So I think it's just a. 343 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 3: Lot of change, and especially our generation, like we were 344 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 3: born at a time when the internet wasn't even what 345 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: it is today. We grew I mean, I remember dial up. 346 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: So I think especially for us growing up where we're 347 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: constantly going through a lot of changes, is really necessary, 348 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: especially with our parents, who I mean never even had 349 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: cell phones, I imagine the changes are going through. So 350 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, more so than anything with mental health, 351 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: I think the first thing for us to do is 352 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: to understand and forgive and have grace like we were 353 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: talking about our parents earlier, I have to tell myself 354 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: and repeat, they didn't know any better, they didn't understand 355 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 3: I grew up differently, They're from a different generation. I 356 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: have to have grace for the way that they're talking 357 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: to me, or the way they're viewing me, or for 358 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: the way that they raise me. And it's my job 359 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: now at thirty four almost thirty five years old, to 360 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 3: change the way that or change the plugs that they 361 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 3: put into my brain and just reorder them as far 362 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 3: as how I view the world, how I view myself, 363 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 3: how I view relationships. I'm still single at you know, 364 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: at this age, and I never thought that would be 365 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: because you know, culturally it's unheard. 366 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: Of, right, but it's it's also not a bad thing. 367 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: And I'm glad and thank you for saying that I 368 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 3: represent Latine as well, because I'm really trying. I'm also 369 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: trying to now as a thirty four year old single woman, 370 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: like you know, kind of bleed out that stigma that 371 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: we have to be young when we get married, young, 372 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: when we have kids, or you know, we're no good. 373 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's something that I had to kind of a 374 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: hump in the road that I had to just overcome 375 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: was oh my gosh, to the part Trene like you, 376 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 2: I was married and I got divorced and I have 377 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: no kids yet, and oh are my like the fact 378 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: that I have to do perhaps IVF to get pregnant 379 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: if I want kids. It's kind of like for a 380 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: long time in our culture. 381 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: Its my eggs. 382 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: You did good job. I'm so proud of you. I 383 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: haven't done it yet, and I think it takes so 384 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: much pressure off because it's kind of like, oh, you 385 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: got to go that route. You're broken. It's that's you know, 386 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: no serious, and it's uh no, no, No. Things have changed, 387 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: and like what you said is having grace and just 388 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: understanding people that came before us and our grandparents and 389 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: even my mom. She was very like open minded and 390 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: very hip, a very hip mom, but she was also 391 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: very traditional, you know what I mean in certain things 392 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: that I'm like, Okay, now I have more compassion for 393 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: her now that I've gotten older or whatever. But absolutely 394 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: I think that everything you're saying about mental health and 395 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: making it okay, like for a long time, I mean, 396 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: I think it's getting a little better, but it's like 397 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: boys don't cry. Nino's not chi yan, you know, and 398 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: it's like, okay, guys, should you know it's okay to 399 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: be vulnerable, it's okay to do therapy. That doesn't mean 400 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 2: that there's something wrong with you. It's no worse. See, 401 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: I think we all need. 402 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 3: It, right But okay, So that's a great example. I 403 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: totally agree. But because I was raised for so many 404 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 3: years believing that a man isn't a man of he cries, 405 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: I still get uncomfortable when a man cries. 406 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: Really it makes. 407 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: Me so uncomfortable. 408 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: So I have to sit back and be like, Okay, 409 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: I'm uncomfortable because this is what I was taught. 410 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: This is okay. I he's allowed to cry. He's a 411 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: human being. 412 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 3: So it's like retraining, and I think that's where a 413 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: lot of our mental health issues also stem from, the retraining, 414 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 3: the relearning it's insane. And it could be something as 415 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 3: simple as that that's not triggering anyone that's listening right now, 416 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 3: or something else that was triggling. Like you know, there's 417 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: a lot of tweets about what parents say to us 418 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: when we're little, like let's say, if you rip the banana, 419 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 3: you're gonna faint, and then it happens one time you're 420 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: like oh yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, So like how long 421 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 3: does it take you to understand that just because you 422 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 3: rip the banana, you don't faint, you know, or something 423 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 3: like that. 424 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: So it's hard. It's a trigger. 425 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 3: So even that I'm like, Okay, I have to understand 426 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: if it was a different time, it was a different time. 427 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 3: This is morally correct, this is not this is old, 428 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 3: it's not traditional. 429 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: We're in a new world. It's hard. 430 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's giving yourself that therapy, you know what I mean, 431 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: speaking to yourself. And one thing from the short time 432 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: that like we've been speaking and talking, it's like you're 433 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: very very enlightened, Like, oh thank you're a smart woman. 434 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: Like I can tell you've done your internal work. And 435 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: I did hear on Jay Shehtty your interview a few 436 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 2: years back. Were you journal?

I still. 439 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 3: I've been pretty bad about it lately because I've been 440 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: more focused on meditating differently. It's so funny that Jay 441 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 3: Shuddy podcast that you brought up, because I just talked 442 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: to him the other day and I said, Jay, I 443 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: really want to do that interview again. And he was yeah, okay, 444 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: and I was like, no, seriously, I was so depressed 445 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 3: during that time that like every not everything I said, 446 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: I was like, I can't even listen to it.

I totally feel you 500 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: ain't no shame in that is. As long as you learn, 501 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 2: you know, there's always something to learn. So we were 502 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: talking about self confidence because for me, I feel like 503 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: you're very like a very confident, outspoken type of of 504 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 2: girl woman. Whatever did it come like out of nowhere? 505 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: Like you've always been that way since you were Obviously 506 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: there's a lot of confidence if you're going to like 507 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: dance and stuff like that at five years old. And no, 508 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: I think I was very. 509 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 3: Confident because I said, like, my parents were pretty good 510 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: about implanting that in me up until I was I 511 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: want to say till after my first show was canceled, 512 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: because then I was back in real life and I 513 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 3: was like it should be easy. After this and it 514 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: wasn't so after that, I lost a lot of it 515 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: and also relationships. Like I said, I lost a lot 516 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 3: of my confidence. When I was seventeen, I was stating 517 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: an older man for three years, so that started dwindling it. 518 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: And then when my show got canceling, I guess it 519 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: got worse. And I think recently what happened is during 520 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 3: the pandemic, I was by myself, just me and my job. 521 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 3: I had to deal with myself. I had to deal 522 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 3: with my own demons, and I'll be honest, I did 523 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 3: shrooms by myself, and it was the best thing that could. 524 00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: Have happened to me. 525 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: Same here, love shrooms.

What are you talking about? Look 531 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: at you? 532 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 3: And for some reason I had a Shania Twain. I 533 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: feel like repeat this dancing You're up. 534 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love that song.

I got it. 536 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 3: And ever since then, like I said, the confidence has 537 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: just started coming out. I mean it took some time. 538 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: It wasn't overnight. 539 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: You know. 540 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: I was slowly, like testing the waters to see little things. 541 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 3: And then when I died my hair red, like I 542 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: told you a month ago, I have been a different person, 543 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 3: Like thank you for saying that.

In 558 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: my personal opinion, when you're in your twenties, in your thirties, 559 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: you start like loving yourself more and it takes time. 560 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: Like you said, like affirmations in the mirror.

But like loving really 564 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: your self, laws and all, Like right now, I hear you, 565 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: and you're like, you admit to certain things, and I 566 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: totally respect that. There's so much power and vulnerability and 567 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: you're like saying there's certain things how I was raised 568 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 2: or you're very honest, Like that says so much about 569 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: a person. So I completely like, it's so admirable. So 570 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell you that because it takes, 571 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: especially being in this industry and I think like as 572 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 2: a Latina being an actress, being a singer, the rejection, 573 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: the comparison, it's just so much that Manette is dude, 574 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: uh huh okay, yeah, so that why? Why is that? 575 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 3: There's two reasons. One, I always I wanted to do 576 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 3: this by myself. I did not want my dad to 577 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: get credited for anything. Not that I was embarrassed, but 578 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 3: I just wanted to know that I did it.

I can be any last name, and I'm 606 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: still if I'm meant to do what I'm gonna do. 607 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 2: What I'm doing, it's because that's God's will for my life, 608 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So people see it in 609 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: a negative way, but it's like, no, I mean, I don't, 610 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 611 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 3: I think it's great, thank you, And I feel like 612 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: for people that haven't been in our position. 613 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: Maybe need an explanation of like why. 614 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 3: And the best thing that I could think of is 615 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 3: when you're compared or you have that last name, automatically 616 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 3: sink get it. You start judging a book by its cover, 617 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: and then there's an expectation that is set on us, 618 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: and if we don't meet that, it's disappointing. And you're 619 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 3: already expecting me to fail and I haven't even started. 620 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 3: So let me come as it cleansely as my own 621 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 3: individual and not someone that you can compare me to. 622 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 3: Anyone would understand this. You when you get in a relationship, 623 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 3: you don't want to be compared to the X. That's like, 624 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 3: hell no, so don't compare me to an individual that 625 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 3: raised me.
