54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,520

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: your mouth. I always come back for the game. What

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna do it like that? Just about you?

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: I'm letting you know the only reason why my dad

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: keeps tapping up in the background is because I had

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: business to handle with my book today. So I'm at

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: my parents house right now. So it's a whole life,

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: a whole life. So I'm explaining to you why I'm

63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: not currently in Glendale, California. Okay, Now, it's been a

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: big shutdown. You know, the COVID hit everybody, and uh

65
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: and so how did that? How has that affected you?

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Because you know, the social media YouTube describers, you are

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: obviously a lot a lot of live productions you're participating in,

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: but they all went away? How did that impact you?

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: You know? But the grist of God, I think, um,

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: it kind of motivated me. I don't think it impacted me, um,

71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, as much as it did impact some people.

72
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: But of course some projects were put on a little

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: bit more of a slow or backburner, but it it

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: gave room for other projects to grow and expand. So honestly,

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: in the midst of it, COVID was using in disguise

76
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: for me. I got to spend a lot more undivided

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: time with my family and my loved ones, and I

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: became an author. During treated me pretty well and that's

79
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I couldn't say the same thing

80
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: when it when it hit in March. I'm just telling you, Jilly,

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't know how to react to it. You know,

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: they're talking about because nobody knew about COVID ninteen and

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody still knows about it. The fact

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: that they have a vaccine comming, we're all happy about that.

85
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: I got wrong with the home depot the first time

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: I went out. I had my gloves, I had my

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: peril I didn't even have a mask at the time.

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: I had like a ski mask, I kind of like

89
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: pool and so I came out of Home Deepot. I

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: didn't know if I should touch the door. I didn't

91
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: know when to put the hands out. It was really

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: was a confusing time for me. How did you How

93
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: did it play out for you? Are Are you comfortable

94
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: now that you've develop a line of how you can

95
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: participate in everyday life? How did that lay out for you, Jilly?

96
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always been kind of like a germaphobe

97
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: and a grum freak, so that kind of really only enhanced.

98
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, you have

99
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: to you can't just be afraid of life. You can't

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: be afraid of living, you know. I know at one

101
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: point traveling was really really scary, you know, going on

102
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: planes and especially being in a tube where you can't

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: just let the window down or anything. But I mean,

104
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you can't just be

105
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, scared. You can't let COVID completely just stop you.

106
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: You just can't. But I mean, don't get me wrong,

107
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: my precautions are on a whole another level. I am

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: definitely I have probably with forehand sanitizers in my purse

109
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: right now, I have, I carry my mask. I have

110
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: two masks in my purse, two in the car. You

111
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: won't catch me like without it. You know, that's just

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: first and foremost really because I just I went to

113
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: l A a week ago, my first time officially flying

114
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: since the COVID COVID Oh yeah, and so you know,

115
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, so, so I got on the plane. You know,

116
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: I have a man I like, I like like four

117
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: disposable masks. I had a mask when I went through

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, T s A. Then I had a mask

119
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: I used on the plane through those away when I

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: landed right and then I had my other disposable man

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: with that bad ball out. So I went around the

122
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: l A all day. I was in and out in

123
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: l A. And then I got back on the plane,

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: put my travel mask on through that bad boy away

125
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: because I like, say just sorry, you know, and I

126
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: will tell you this is that I was very comfortable

127
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: with just telling everybody to know there's a big crisis

128
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: right now, telling people not to travel, not to travel,

129
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: not to travel. But I do believe, and I have

130
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: to say this that we have to learn to live

131
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: with this crisis and we can't shut down our life,

132
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: you know. Of course, being precaution, like even when I

133
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: am on the plane, I for sure I take a

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: few of my wifes, my sanitizer wives. I wipe down

135
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. I wipe down the armrests, a little

136
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: button to recline the thing. I wipe down the front

137
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: just in case somebody had like sneeze on the TV

138
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. I wipe that down. I wipe down a

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: little window sides where you pull it up and down.

140
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. So I'm definitely, like I said, precaution

141
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: is a little bit more there. But I'm not like

142
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: there's just different thing about you, Jilly. You come you

143
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: have a sense of person of personality a sitcoms in

144
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: your future because I see the word active see drums,

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: because you're funning. Now you you have a you have

146
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: a sister person. You have a personality that that that

147
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: pops off the screen because okay and hard hit him

148
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: up for me Now, I'm just kidding because you have

149
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: an edge, which which is a good age because when

150
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: you're talking you can be serious when they come across

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: as humorous. Because when we're talking about wife out if

152
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: they're the button side button, the look, the look TV

Speaker 1: in front of you and all that to what is

00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: the acting? What is the acting plan for you? You know,

155
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: um and acting? I think right now, especially with COVID,

156
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things kind of not only got pushed back,

157
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: but you have to realize with acting it's a lot

158
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: of physical contact. It's a lot of you know, like

159
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: in your face. And that's one thing that prior to

160
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: all of this, I was really comfortable with if I

161
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: had to do like a scene of any sort of

162
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,280

187
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: you'm a girl, so with the cookbook. I mean, cook

188
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: is really just always been in my family. I am

189
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: of Creole descent. My all my families from Louisiana. My brother,

190
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: me and my mom are the only ones who are

191
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: actually originally from Houston born raise. But um, I mean

192
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: it's always been my family growing up. For the holidays,

193
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: we had more food than people. We literally had tripled

194
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: the amount of food. My grandmother was always in the

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: kitchen as well as my mom. Even with my dad,

196
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: my dad has his fair share, but he's really a baker.

197
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: My dad is a fire baker. But he's even got

198
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: into really like you, like you, um, but he's got

199
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: into like his oxtails and you know, just making different stuff.

200
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: And so I just grew up in a family of

201
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,479
Speaker 1: chefs and you know, really home chefs, and um. Over quarantine,

202
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: I would cook a lot, like cook a lot and quarantine,

203
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: I did I gained I've lost. I actually did not

204
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: gain away in quarantine. No, I think too is just like,

205
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: of course a mixture of working out and then I

206
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: even though like these meals. I think it's all in

207
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: proportion of what you eat as well. So I can

208
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: eat all this stuff. But granted I'm not eating like

209
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: three refilled plates, you know, but I mean at the

210
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: beginning of quite exactly, I'm not. But at the beginning

211
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: of quarantine, Um, I just started cooking and like playing

212
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: with food. I would make boot and stuff chicken, I

213
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: would make um, shrimp, ravioli, just stuff that was just stuff. Right, Boot,

214
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me mad either. You're gonna get me

215
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: mad because I can't get near you, Okay because boot,

216
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: you just can't throw out the word boot. And see,

217
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is people don't even know what booty

218
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: and is. People don't know about gumbo, and people don't

219
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: know about this stuff. So it's really amazing to, like,

220
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, bring people into my culture, my heritage. So

221
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about the boot and now the boot and

222
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: now I do I do dirty rice? Okay, I know

223
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: about boot. And let's say, you know, I'm from the

224
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: country a little bit of my parents. You do kill Hall,

225
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: bring a hog home at Hall when it was black

226
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: people go around the whole really should just start crying

227
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: because everything is edible, everything is edible around the hall.

228
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: So talk about you putting together this booting. What is

229
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: the process? You know? Okay, So for my boot and

230
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: stuffed chicken. The crazy thing is, I only get forty

231
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: five recipes in here. So even a lot of the

232
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: recipes now are gonna be in Cookbook number two. But

233
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: even with the booty, and it's just like I you

234
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: know how it's like in the little paper rice. I

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: slice it open, I take the rice part out, mush

236
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: it all up, um in my chicken. After I season

237
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: and I put the dirty rice inside the chicken and

238
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: I roll it up, put a toothpick in there, um,

239
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: drizzle some garlic, butter or whatever I'm putting on top

240
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: of it, put it in the oven for a good

241
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: thirty so minutes. And I tell you, jelly, so you

242
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: you add sophistication to the boot. Now you know that

243
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: ain't no that ain't no country. They didn't count it. Well,

244
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's country mixed with my modern days. That's

245
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: the beauty of your book. Now you're taking a little country,

246
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: bringing it forward, because you know when you say boods,

247
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: crackers and bud that standard black folks talking. Now you

248
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: and the garlic butters drisuled right there, she said, sliding

249
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: in the other. Scam me, girl, scam me, now you

250
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: scare me over here. Now, No, it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal. Absolutely.

251
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: So you say this is cookbook one and that cookbook too.

252
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about your social media, which is phenomenal,

253
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, And I always tell people about social media

254
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: is interesting because you know, people follow you because they

255
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: either want to be like you, or you emotionally give

256
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: something to them that they feel they will miss, or

257
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: you provide information. Why do you think you have such

258
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a strong social media fan base? I mean, I just

259
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: think me my personality. I think people fell in love

260
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: with who Jilly is. I feel like people fell in

261
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: love with who jilling In is as well. Um, you know,

262
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: just throughout social media showed a lot of my personality.

263
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: I've let people into my life, um a little at

264
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: times it was like a little bit personal as well,

265
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: which is why I feel like my fan base connected

266
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: to me so well. They have experienced, you know, journeys

267
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: with me. They have gone through some ups and downs.

268
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: They have gone through a little bit of backing away

269
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: from Instagram and noticing that I hadn't posted in a while,

270
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: or noticing my absence and you know, being concerned. And

271
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: so I think that's when like you have an extreme

272
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: fan base, it's just so awesome that you know, people

273
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: relate to it. People um got connected with me, you know,

274
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: and it's been a few years now, but at the

275
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's just like so strong till

276
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: this day. I mean it never you never really realized

277
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: how much people support you until it comes to things

278
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: like items you're selling. And with my cookbook, it was

279
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: just so amazing because when I tell you the the

280
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: outpour of love and then just to actually see it

281
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: in sales was just like so just honestly mind blowing.

282
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: It was really really mind blowing. And I don't want

283
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: to say like I was shocked, but sometimes you are shocked.

284
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: You're shocked people actually put in their credit card information

285
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: to support you, you know. So I think it was

286
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: just such a blessing. And that was one of my

287
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: most recent realizing moments of how my fan base, my

288
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: social media, how impactful it is, you know to my

289
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: actual life. Well, that's that's that's really interesting because of

290
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: the fact that you opted to do you know, digital

291
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: that format versus going to a book company like a

292
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Harper Collins or Simon Schuster. Now is it any reason

293
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: for that? Because you have the brand to be able

294
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: to do that. You got the social media followers, you

295
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: got the YouTube followers. So I'm sure any any major

296
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: book company would want to publish your book any reason.

297
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know, I wasn't opposed to it,

298
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: but I think I just wanted to do self publishing because,

299
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think most people pay to have a

300
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: brand like I do. Most people pay to have like

301
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: an outreach or outlet like I do. So I think

302
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, for me, it's finally here the season of celebration.

303
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: And no matter how you celebrate with family and friends,

304
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: whether you're preparing for Reis Magos or Karamu lighting the Manura,

305
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,840

Speaker 1: just I didn't want to do that. I wanted to

343
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: receive all my profit. I wanted to you know, really,

344
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,800

Speaker 1: need that advance like way bigger. There you go. See

349
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: A First of all, I love talking to you, you know,

350
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: because I always tell people when when young people figured out,

351
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, and you figured it out, this is your brand,

352
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: you building it, You are your CEO, your company, What

353
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: is your company? And you are an entrepreneur, and so

354
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: that's what excites me about talking to a person like you,

355
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: who it's not about your looks, it's about your brains.

356
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: It's driving your next step, your next financial opportunity, your

357
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: next career move, talk about your company and talk about

358
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: your brain. Absolutely, so everything is Jillianese. I think my

359
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: own um finding a brand that suited me was so

360
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: easy because it's me. It's literally so jillian Nie is

361
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: my brand, Jilliannie is my company, and everything follows under that,

362
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: and it just has several outlets. It's literally like a spiderweb.

363
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: Jillianese is in the middle, and it's music, it's dancing,

364
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: it's acting, it's cookbook, it's look book, it's fashion, its fitness,

365
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: his family, it's like never ending. And I think that's

366
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing because it all coincides with Jillianie.

367
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: It's literally who I am. It's who I am growing

368
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: to be. So I think even when I did a

369
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: project like this, I think my main focus was to

370
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: let people know, you know, I'm not a person who

371
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: is a chef who's gonna open up a restaurant next week,

372
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Like that's not my intent. My intent is literally every

373
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: time I cook or post something on Instagram, people are like,

374
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, can you send this plate in the mail?

375
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Like what is this recipe? And you know, I take

376
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: the feedback from people. People are like, well, how do

377
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: you stay so fit? Well? I do work out, So

378
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: here's me working out. Well, how do you also dance

379
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: like this? Well? I mean I was a dancer for

380
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: ten years of my life growing up, fifteen years in

381
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: my life growing up. And it's just like everything coincides

382
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: with my brand is literally who I am? When when

383
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: you talk about that, because it's really interesting because having

384
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: you on my show Money Making Conversation dot Com one

385
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: of the reasons, because you know, there are a lot

386
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: of people who want to be Jilly Okay, you know

387
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: they're they're about your hide, They're they're they're attractive like you,

388
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: they have hair and nice shape. But you've crossed the

389
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: line of leaving your competitors behind and you have a

390
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: plan for being successful in the future. What is the

391
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: separating line? You know, because condations separate themselves and you're sertain.

392
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm just being very real with you. You are separating yourself.

393
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have a hit TV show on

394
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: you don't have a hit single out there, but you

395
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: are growing and you're very popular, and social media has

396
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: made you a very viable media star because, like you said,

397
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: you don't need to go on the radio to drop

398
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: your book. You just dropped your book, and guess what,

399
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: you start dropping credit cards. What is separating from your competition?

400
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: I think just honestly never dwelling and staring away from

401
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: God's plan. I'm a big, big believer in my faith,

402
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: and I just know that no matter what, whatever God

403
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: has planned for me, it's unstoppable. I didn't know I

404
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: would be putting out a book. I didn't know. I

405
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: didn't I couldn't tell you at the beginning of this

406
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: year whe where this year would lead me. And you know,

407
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of my faith. I

408
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: I never grow weary. I never, you know, stop believing

409
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: God's plan for me. And I think that's the ultimate thing.

410
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: I'm My biggest competition is myself. I just want to

411
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: do better than I did yesterday. I'm not trying to

412
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: compete with anyone else. I don't even look at anybody

413
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: else's direction. I am really big on congratulating my peers,

417
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: in the mirror and know that everything you're doing is

418

431
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: This is Roshan mcdowe. First time I'm interviewing you. I've

432
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: noticed that your bio said the sixths of Jelly. Break

433
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: that down your faith, family, food, fitness, fashion, and fun.

434
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: Let's start with faith. Faith. I'm a big believer in

435
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: my faith. You know, God comes first, God comes before

436
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: it all. You know, without him, none of it's possible.

437
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: And I don't just say that, I stand by that.

438
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: I wake up every morning and I pray. I pray

439
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: with my family, so twice this morning, once um, once

440
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: I wake up, once again with my family. We have

441
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: a group message where my dad sends his prayers every

442
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: single morning NonStop. Then again once before I go to sleep.

443
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: And you know, just throughout the day, I just know

444
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: that no matter what, without my faith, without knowing who

445
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: my God is, just none of this would be possible.

446
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: And you know, just always giving praise to the Highest,

447
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: praise to the you know, everything that I go through, everything,

448
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: through the good and bad, I just never stop saying

449
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: thank you. I never not make time for that, you know.

450
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: So I think with faith, it just has to do

451
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: with growing up with my family who instilled that, you know,

452
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: God is love. God is everything. So with um, with

453
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: God is love, I just know that no matter what,

454
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: every success I owe it to Him. So that's where

455
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: faith comes from. And now on the family side, it

456
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: was talking about the recipes in the book their generaship.

457
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: You know, because we talked about family little bit in faith,

458
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: but let's talk about family when it comes to the

459
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: food and your whole life. Family. You know, family when

460
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: it comes to the food. As you can see in

461
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: my cookbook, it's very incorporated with my family, and my

462
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: family is all throughout it. My family is literally I

463
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: want to see if I can just quickly, I can

464
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,840

465
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: This picture, like my mom and my grandmother is just

466
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, family is a big part of my life.

467
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: If you ever, you know, have seen me, here's my

468
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: mom and my grandmother throughout it. My brother is in

469
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: here somewhere. Just I mean, people who watch me, people

470
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: who have been following me all these years, they know

471
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: that my family is my everything. You know, my family

472
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: is literally all I have. It's literally my mom, my dad,

473
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: my brother, um, and my grandmother. It's us five and

474
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: we have We're small, but we're mighty. We are small,

475
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: but were mighty. And you know, for me, it's kind

476
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: of a second, it's not even a really thought. It's

477
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: just like, my family is my everything. I don't even

478
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: want to I don't know, it's just so I don't

479
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 1: even know like how to tell you nothing would be

480
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: possible without my family there my backbones. They have me

481
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: more than anybody in this world. And you know, kind

482
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: of gets like emotional to talk about it. But my mom,

483
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: my dad, my brother, and my grandmother, the way we

484
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: support one another, the way we love one another. I

485
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: just know that if everything were to go wrong in

486
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: this world, their doors will always be open. And you know,

487
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: no matter what, I can be my true self around them.

488
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: They'll never judge me, and they love me and support

489
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: me through everything. So family is a very you know,

490
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: touchy but strong subject to me. Coolt's combined too of

491
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: the elf. Food and fitness, you know, food and fitness. Okay,

492
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: so it's you. So with food and fitness, you know,

493
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: in this cookbook there's a lot of like happy healthy

494
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: mial not really healthy but happy, you know, good rinching bottery,

495
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: buttery with salt mills. So I'm telling people abs are

496
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: not included in this book now that the body is

497
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: not included, you know, And that's why I wanted to

498
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: make sure I could bind food and fitness because they

499
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: are separate in your in your when you're laying out,

500
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: but you are dealing with a book that, like you said, uh,

501
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: has grown folks food in that book right there. You

502
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: know that's that's that's that's some real food up in that.

503
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: You know, shrip the jumbo shrump up in there and

504
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: looking great there. And so now the part of the

505
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: book that really are really made me really caught my

506
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: eye with the look book part, the look book cook book.

507
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm maybe I've missed something, but I've never seen

508
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: that before and it's so slick talk about the fashion

509
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: and the look book part. I mean, here's even just one.

510
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: This is like a versace look with that I did, um,

511
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: I think it came second natured to me because I

512
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: mean I love fashion, I love style. I love I

513
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: feel like every day it's a fashion show. And you know,

514
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: for me, like I said, I'm not a person who

515
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: just sits in the kitchen and just like cooks and

516
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: that's not what I do. I'm not sixty years old

517
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: putting out a cookbook and have twenty kids and it's

518
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: just all about recipes. I mean, I wanted it to

519
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: be true to my brand, true to my image, and

520
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: my image is I literally will be in the kitchen

521
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: fully clothed like this cooking dinner and that's what you're

522
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: coming home to. I mean, I just wanted to, you know,

523
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: to be a part of really who I am. And

524
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: I love fashion, so I was like, how can I

525
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: really incorporate this to not only make it like a cookbook,

526
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: but make it so true to me yet so fun

527
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: yet so different. That hasn't been done. And I'm a

528
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: big person on doing things that haven't been done. I

529
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: don't want to fit in, you know, I want to

530
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: stand out always, and I think doing a cookbook slash

531
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: lookbook and having a different look for every single meal,

532
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: it's never been done, and I just can't wait to

533
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: see everyone who tries to copy it. Now. Well, absolutely,

534
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. It's the first. Now fun I

535
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: I said that from the very beginning that you are

536
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: a comedic actress. You know, uh, you have a sitcom

537
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: skill because I would tell people can do drama, but

538
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: being a funny person being a sitcom that's a that's

539
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: a talent, that's a skill set. Where does this fun personality?

540
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: And let me ask you this because a lot of

541
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: times people see you on your social media, they see

542
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: your TV, they see this upbeat person. When do you

543
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: shut it down, because I will tell you I was

544
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: just all the time. Steve Harvey or Kevin hard they

545
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 1: always think they should be funny all the time. They

546
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: cannot be funny all the time. When do you shut

547
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: it down? When does this fun person shut it down?

548
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever shuts down. I think I'm

549
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: just fine seven. I think I am just an awesome, delightful,

550
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: always waking up in a great movie person. I mean

551
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: I think it just come to my family, that goes again,

552
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: It just plays, it goes again with my family, and

553
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: my family is fun. My family exudes fun. You come

554
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: around us, there's never a dull moment. And it really

555
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: is never a dull moment. I mean, you know, of

556
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 1: course I'm human. I get in my feelings sometimes too,

557
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: But around my family, you better be in them feelings

558
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: for two minutes or less because after a second, everyone's

559
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna be look at you just crazy. So I mean

560
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: when I tell you, just with my family, you can't

561
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: be in a bad mood for long. You know, Um,
