I 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood and dealt with 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: a ton of bullying, a ton of racism, and that 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: kind of stuff continued as I got into the industry, 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: continued after I got married, continued after just certain seasons 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: in my life.

Before we get into Megan, I wanted to 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: take a minute to do every now and again on 38 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: the podcast. If you're a faithful listener, you know I 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: do a week recap or I get naked about what 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm feeling. And this past week has been um a 41 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of things for me in terms of how I 42 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: feel about the world in which we live, in the world, 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: in the space that I live in and that I've 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: created for myself and the work that I do. Everyone. 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with Brian Flores, but 46 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: he is the Honduras, the Afro Latina, if I'm being specific, 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: coach who sued the NFL. His parents are immigrants from Honduras. 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: He's born and raised in Brooklyn, So I'm calling him 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: Afro Latina because if he's walking down the street, you're 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: gonna call him black. And he suited the NFL and 51 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: three teams and there are more, from my understanding coaches 52 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: that will join as a class action lawsuit that says 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: the NFL is racist, the hiring practices or racist, and 54 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: that it's like a plantation. And with being said, the 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: sky is blue and water is wet, Like who didn't 56 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: know that? If we didn't learn that with Colin Kaepernick, 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: we find um sure no. Now, the difference in the 58 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: not very much of a difference, But the difference in 59 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: this case is that Brian Flores is in the process 60 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: of looking for a head coaching job. He still thinks 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: he's a lead candidate for a couple of jobs, which 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: I significantly believe, excuse me, not even significantly. I doubt it. 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: I think his chances have decreased immensely. And that is 64 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: sad to say you cannot sue the NFL and then 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: still think you can work for them. I don't even 66 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: know how that works. I don't even know if you 67 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be in that space. And so when 68 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: this lawsuit came about, it was the big breaking news, 69 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: and I said, not for nothing, I'm tired of fighting 70 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: to be in spaces where we're barely tolerated. And I 71 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: had a lot of you all reach out to me 72 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: and say what, So I'm going to repeat it again. 73 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: I am sick and tired of fighting for space in 74 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: places where we are barely tolerated. And what I mean 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: by that is we, as marginalized people, black and brown 76 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: people fight so hard to be one of or the first, 77 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: and when we get there, we look around and these 78 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: fools don't want us there. So why are we fighting 79 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: so hard to be there? What's twofold? You want to 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: pay the way you want to make it easier. You 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: want to show that you can be an example of 82 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: what is possible. If you see it, you believe it. 83 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: You know, I I believe in that wholeheartedly. But I 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: also know if I'm keeping it real. When you get there, 85 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: it's hard to stay there because they make you feel 86 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: like you don't belong. You're very rarely welcomed when you're 87 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: a minority in a space that doesn't really understand you 88 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and really isn't trying to understand you because they've never 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: had to understand you. White people have no need to 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: understand who we are going to get here less think 91 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: of this concept. Racism is a big deal. But you 92 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: can read a story about racism if you're white and 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: decide to do one of several things. One you could 94 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: just be like, oh, that's sucked up and go on 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: about your day. Too. You can decide to empathize and steal, 96 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: go on about your day. Three you could say, Wow, 97 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: everybody's still mining, right, because I hear that a lot 98 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: y'all steal, whine in y'all had a black president. Calm down, 99 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: y'all whine in. And then four right, there's several other options, 100 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: but four would be that bothers me, and any time 101 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: I see it as a person who quote unquote has 102 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: seen as privileged, I'm going to make sure that I 103 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: acknowledge that it's not fair and I'm gonna do my 104 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: part in whatever small way to let other people know 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: that our in these marginalized communities, I stand with you. 106 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: I'm not going to ignore what's going on. And that's tough, right, 107 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough to speak freely, it's tough to 108 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: speak easily. It's tough to speak your mind, especially in 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: this social media day and age. What Brian Flores did 110 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: was nothing short of being the most courageous hero that 111 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: I've seen in a long time. It's a courage to 112 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: say I'm going up against the NFL. It took hers 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: to say I'm gonna take Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick is 114 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: NFL royalty, he is coaching royalty. I'm gonna take his 115 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: text messages and use it as an example to follow 116 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: lawsuit because I'm fed up now. By the way, Brian 117 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: has been fed up for a long time. He just 118 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: didn't get that text message over the last couple of 119 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: weeks and say I'm suing. He's been fed up for 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: a long time, much like many of you and I are. 121 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: We're fed up with our circumstances. Were fed up with 122 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: the way people are treating us, and in the back 123 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 1: of our mind we know that we are too good 124 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: to be treated that way. That goes for personal and 125 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: professional relationships. I talked about my my time at the 126 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: Four Letters. I was being treated poorly and if I 127 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: stayed there, my self worth with a diminished and I 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: refused to let someone dictate what my self worth is. 129 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: I do that. I do that, but it takes a while, 130 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: because we as a collect div want to be in 131 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: these spaces that we are barely tolerated in. I say 132 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: to you no more. I say to you, once you 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: realize that they don't want you, pack your shot up 134 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: and go. I ain't saying go tomorrow. I ain't saying 135 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: go yesterday. But I'm saying go don't come in as 136 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: if you have the experience of a VET and you 137 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: still a rickie talking about it. I want to be 138 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: here because I'm creating your space for me. If you're 139 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: a rookie, stay there, put your head down, figure it out. 140 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: I have to say that specifically because I'm mentor young girls, 141 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: and I swear sometimes they'd be like, but I need 142 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: this and I deserve that, And I'm like, you have 143 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: get in line, pay your dues. That's my approach. You 144 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: may disagree and then start talking to me about the 145 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: trials and trying and all the nonsense you've been through 146 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: because you ain't been through nothing. You can't. You can't 147 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: have none of these scars that me and Brian Flores 148 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: have unless you've been through something. But here, listen to 149 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: this and it's about to get heavy. Here's the problem. 150 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: That man gave up his career. Highly doubt he'll ever 151 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: coach in the NFL again, maybe on the collegiate level, 152 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: but an NFL coach with aspirations of doing more seems 153 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: pretty much dead in the water. And that's what sucks 154 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: because he knew that he had to do this so 155 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: that it wouldn't happen again. But it will continue to happen. 156 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: But he had to shine a light on something so disgusting. 157 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: Which is why I will always be loud about stories 158 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: like these, because they deserve the attention. They deserve to 159 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: stay top of mind, if you will, so that we understand. Yo, 160 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: this is what we're here to do. If we really 161 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: want to disrupt, we have to disrupt majorly. I'm gonna 162 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: talk to you nice, but I'm gonna tell you the truth. Now. 163 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: Both of those, in my opinion, they can be done. 164 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: But I feel bad for him because he's hurt and 165 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: he's her team. I don't even think it's funny. Here's 166 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: the kicker. He still has hope while he is hurt. 167 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: This man still thinks there's a sliver of a chance 168 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: that he could coach in the NFL because he has 169 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: two more interviews left. What the audacity of his self worth? Right? Congratulations? 170 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: I love it and his hope. But that hope that 171 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: he has is the same hope that so many of 172 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: us as black folks have. Why do you think we're 173 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: not out here asking for revenge. We just want justice 174 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: and equality and our fair share, our piece of this 175 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: American pie that we helped build on our back for free. 176 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: We would like our peace back. Thank you. We stay hopeful. 177 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: And I said to my homeboy, because we were talking 178 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: about this the other day, and I go, why are 179 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: we so hopeful? I said the same thing to my 180 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: friend Jamal. You guys know, Jamal Hill, why do we 181 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: as a people remain hopeful that the same group of 182 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: people who have stepped on our necks and kept us 183 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: down for years and years and years since its inception 184 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: of this country will one day say, you know what, 185 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: that's not right. Come on in. Color shouldn't be a 186 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: determining factor of whether or not you can succeed or 187 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: if you're smart. Come on in. You're different from me 188 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: and you socialize differently, but that doesn't scare me. We 189 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: are hopeful that that will ever happen. I mean, we 190 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: really are hopeful that will happen rather and I don't 191 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: know why. Why are we so hopeful as a people? 192 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: It really is fascinating, impressive, encouraging, sad sometimes it's all 193 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: the things, but we stay hopeful. And to me, Former 194 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is a perfect example 195 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: of that hope. While he's doing the right thing and 196 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: standing in the gap for so many people in other 197 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: coaches for that matter, and other people in corporate spaces 198 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: who know that they're being mistreated and not promoted because 199 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: of the color of their skin or being black balled 200 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: because they had the in audacity of hope, He's standing 201 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: in the gap for all of you if you can 202 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: relate to that. But at the same time, this man 203 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: really truly believes he'll work again in the NFL. I'm 204 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: being specific.

That was my sock story. 260 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, Kerry, relax, it's not happening today. 261 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: But anyway, Um, we have a couple of things in 262 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: common born and raised in l A. I think both 263 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: of us happen um and talk to me about the difference, 264 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: because I can't explain it to people unless they're from here. 265 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: What is the the l A vibe? What do we like? 266 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: There's a genesis quad that we have because everyone's like, 267 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: l A people are so fake, you're so phony? Also this, 268 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, not if you grew up here? Right? Yeah? No, 269 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: people say that they're usually talking about the transplants us 270 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: and not to say the transplants are fake or phony 271 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: or anything like that. But I think that people come 272 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: to l A a majority of the time with the 273 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: dream to make it in the industry in some capacity, 274 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: and I think that um there comes like a preconceived 275 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: notion of how to carry yourself or how to act 276 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: or how to be. And I'm not saying that's true 277 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: for everyone, but I do think that it often becomes 278 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: a reflection of how l A people act in an actuality. 279 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: Those of us who are who are born and raised here, 280 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: we're hippies, you know, most of us are free spirits. 281 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: You know, we we vibrate and on like a chill level. 282 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: We're easy going, we're probably overly loving to the point 283 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: of where sometimes I think we annoy people from New 284 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: York because they're like, you know, you cannot be serious, 285 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: you cannot be serious right now, and you're like, no, 286 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure you're okay, and like, 287 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: you know, let's talk on Tuesday. You want to go 288 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: somewhere and I just make you ten minutes ago, but hey, 289 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: let's talk about life. You know, that's a that's a 290 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: true story. I think that, especially like growing up here. 291 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: I can remember a few times I went to U C. 292 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: L A. And I can remember a fo times there. 293 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: There are all these parties where and they were house 294 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: parties that I last big on house parties. I try 295 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: to explain that to people, talk about that's what we do. 296 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: It's not a club scene, but a bomb house party, 297 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: like a real firehouse party is where we hang out 298 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: and where we live. And they don't understand that when 299 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: we when I try to, like, I was like, house 300 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: parties are the ship. Yeah, I mean it's so crazy 301 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: because I didn't realize that that's more of an l 302 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: A thing. But now that you're saying it, it it totally 303 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: makes sense to me. But yeah, we just like a 304 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: good vibe. We like to like not always have to 305 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: get dressed up, hang out by the pool, have some 306 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: good conversations of life, or just like have a party 307 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: that's just like going off and you did get dressed up, 308 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: but it's like you with all your friends that you 309 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: grew up around, are people that you know him for 310 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: like years and years and years, and everybody really wants 311 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: to dance and have a good time. And you know 312 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be like overly expensive. You've got 313 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: the red cups and you're just chilling, you know, like 314 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: for real, Like that's exactly how we hang out. I 315 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: think I'm glad that you're saying that because I do 316 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: try to explain that to people and we get um, 317 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, people just feel away and I and I do. 318 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: I do feel like that. I'm like, we're not fake, 319 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: we're legitimately genuine when we're from here, and you have 320 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: to catch the vibe otherwise you miss it. There's something 321 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: that I and then I'll talk about this. Um. The 322 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: part of what I think is is beautiful about how 323 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: you move is that we know that you love the 324 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: Lord and that you're a Christian. But there there is 325 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: it's not to be mutually exclusive, to be beautiful, sexy, 326 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: play a role that may not be who you are 327 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: a bit of a departure, but still say, I love 328 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: the Lord. How do you reconcile the two? I think 329 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: for me? You know, I got say when I was thirteen, 330 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: and at that time, I was like a very religious Christian, 331 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: like very Bible something. I cried when my sister lost 332 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: her virginity and told her I didn't want her to 333 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: go to hell, like yeah. And then you know, as 334 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: I've grown with the Lord and I've gotten to know 335 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: him and I started to have real conversations with him 336 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: that weren't based on being religious or an ideal, but 337 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: we're based on really getting to know him and really 338 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: hearing him for myself. Is when I started having conversations 339 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: with him, Like when I was nineteen, was the first 340 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: time I was like, wait, Lord, I've been acting like 341 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: since I was a kid. I never even asked you 342 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: if this is what I should be doing, or like 343 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: if this is the life that you have for me. 344 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: And I got to a place where I was like, 345 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put it on the altar and I 346 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: give it to you, and if you want me to 347 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: do this, then I will do it. But I want 348 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: what you want for me more than what I think 349 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: I want for myself. And that was the first time 350 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: that I got confirmation that this is the industry that 351 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: I should be in, and this is the job that 352 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: I should be doing, but that is bigger than me. 353 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: And using this platform to glorify him, however, how I 354 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: glorify him as unique to who I am. He made 355 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: me all of who I am, from the way that 356 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: I think, to the way that I speak, to the 357 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: way that I look, to the passions that are in 358 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: my heart, the things that I desire to accomplish. He 359 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: gave me all of those things. And so when something 360 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: is off kilter or not in alignment, he lets me 361 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: up and I also ask. And when something is in alignment, 362 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to make sense to everybody else, but 363 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: I know in my spirit that I'm doing what I'm 364 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be doing. And um for me, I don't 365 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: feel that I'm necessarily called to the church in that 366 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: way I feel the church, but I'm I'm called two 367 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: the world in the sense of you can only light 368 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: up the only light can light up dark spaces. Light 369 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: doesn't need to light up light because it's already lit. 370 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: You have to go into dark spaces and you have 371 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: to be relatable in an authentic way in order to 372 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: build the kingdom. And for me, I know, I relate 373 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: to who relates to me, you know, and people who 374 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: feel you know, left out, or people who feel judged 375 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: or criticized or misunderstood or whatever it might be. I 376 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: immediately connect with those spirits. And not even because I'm 377 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: trying to. We're just like kindred tribe, you know, And 378 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: that's what God has called me too, And so I 379 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: just try to really make it about not having a 380 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: religious mindset. But like, Lord, what do you say if 381 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: you say I'm good and I'm good, and when anybody 382 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: else has to say about it, that's not my tribe. 383 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: But those who get it get it, and those um 384 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: who don't don't. That's okay. You know, that's a sermon 385 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: in itself. Those who wouldn't get it in those who 386 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: don't don't, And that's not your work to make those 387 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: who don't understand to get it. Like, that's not what 388 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be doing. But you said something that 389 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: I thought was really interesting. You've got confirmation. What was 390 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: the confirmation? Did they come in a role did you 391 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: hear God saying do you move this way? Or was 392 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: it a combination of a few things. Um, it was 393 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: a confirm It was the confirmation was a few different things. 394 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: But the main thing was because I hear God in 395 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: different ways, especially as I've gotten older, I hear him 396 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: a lot more crisp and clear. Um. But at that time, 397 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: when I was about nineteen, I just felt like a 398 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: settling in my spirit, and I felt like God saying, like, yes, 399 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: this is right. But then I also felt like a 400 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: curiosity of like him placing on my spirit, but like 401 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: that's not it, Like this is not the bottom line, 402 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: that's not the answer. And so when I you know, 403 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: as I went along through my twenties, I just felt 404 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: got in certain seasons saying I'm gonna reveal it to you. 405 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna reveal it to you, but you'll know it 406 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: as you experience it, and you'll feel it. And so 407 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: when I connected with younger women, when I connected with 408 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: people who have been through things that I've been through 409 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: that I haven't necessarily spoken about publicly yet and one 410 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: day I will whenever God tells me that he wants 411 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: me to. But um, when I connected with just like 412 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: outcast and people who just feel left out, especially of 413 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: left out of the church or left out of whatever 414 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: it may be. My whole life, I've been set up 415 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: for that. I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood. 416 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: I dealt with a ton of bullying, a ton of racism, 417 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff continued as I got into 418 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: the industry, continued after I got married, continued after just 419 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: certain seasons in my life. So I realized that that's 420 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: actually a part of my calling and I'm set up 421 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: to to be. They are in a way as as 422 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: kind of a light that like you're good, you know, 423 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: if you are being challenged in that way to know 424 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: that got its something really really special for you. And 425 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: he does give the toughest battles to his strongest soldiers, 426 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: and he does have purpose, and every bad thing that 427 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: happens seemingly bad, you know. Um, So yeah, I just 428 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of felt in every season, I feel like it 429 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: gets revealed to me a little bit more. He gives 430 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: the toughest battles to the soldiers. He knows I can 431 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: handle it. By the way, that's a word for somebody 432 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: myself specifically, especially if you're going through something something something.

I would have 451 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: people like in the neighborhood tell me like, oh, you're 452 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: not supposed to be here.

I always had an attitude of like, you 491 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: don't see it, but I'll show you one day, you know. 492 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: But I also kind of had that insecurity of like 493 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: you know, nobody really looked like me where I grew 494 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: up except for my sister and my mother, and it 495 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: was always like, well, maybe I should look like this, 496 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: maybe I should look like that, or I have a 497 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: question this boy, but he doesn't like me because I'm black, 498 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: or because i'm my hair because of this or whatever. 499 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: And so there was always like the insecurity, but like 500 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: the overconfidence kind of like messing with each other always. 501 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: And I think, um in terms of acting, like, you know, 502 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: I wanted to be like a good dancer, like be 503 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: on the dance team or be a cheerleader, and I 504 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: just none of those things I would ever make and 505 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: I would never get chosen. And so acting for me 506 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: was really kind of an outlet in a place where 507 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: I could find something that I had ownership over and 508 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: I felt confident doing. And it wasn't until probably until 509 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: I was around like sixteen seventeen that I started realizing 510 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: that what you do in the world is directly connected 511 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: to how God wants to use you in some way, 512 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: you know. And so that's when I started being intentional 513 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: about like, Okay, well I'm not gonna into this, I'm 514 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: not going to do that. And then I think around team. 515 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: Was the first time that I realized this is I 516 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: get to be here. You know, I'm a good actress, 517 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: but like there, you know, there's million great actresses. I'm 518 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: a pretty girl, but there's a million pretty girls. I 519 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: get to take up space here because God has allowed 520 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: me to take up space here. And because of that, 521 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: I know that it's bigger than me. And it's not 522 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: about being a celebrity or being famous or whatever that means. 523 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: It's about using what He's given me as part of 524 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: my purpose and using it in the world however he 525 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: instructs me to. And so yeah, I think that was 526 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: the around the time when I first started realizing it. 527 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: And then, like you said, it's been an ongoing progression. 528 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: You know. Of course, of course you have a show 529 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: out that I love, and I know that you have. 530 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know anybody who probably don running 531 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: up and you're like, listen, Harlem is everything. So it 532 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: was it's always to me on the outside looking in 533 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: a special moment when the actor gets the role that 534 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: is for them and they're put around the right people like, 535 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: to me, that has to be such beautiful chemistry and 536 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: destiny and luck and all the things have to come 537 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: together for it to be such a special show. Your 538 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: show is great. First episode, you guys give a shout 539 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: out to a to my partner, my television partner, Jamal Hill. 540 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: And then you guys, you have this role in which 541 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: everything you say is so real and so honest. I'm like, kudo, 542 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: So the writer's kudo. See you for executing. Because there's 543 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: so much that goes on behind it. Talk to me 544 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: about when Harlem came to you and you said, this 545 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: is it, I gotta do it or I had to 546 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: fight forward or whatever it was. What was the process 547 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: when they brought this project to you and you ultimately 548 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: decided to do it. Um, it's really interesting because TV 549 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: always scares me. It's such a big commitment. You know, 550 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: like a movie, you go, you shoot for like a 551 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: month to month, three months. If it's like a big 552 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: you know whatever DC and Marvel movie, you might be 553 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: a few months, but then you're done and but t 554 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: be you know, you work from like five to seven 555 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: to nine, you know, however many months and then if 556 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: the show continues to move on, you're doing that cycle 557 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: for years and years and years. And um, I'm very 558 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: much a nomad and a bit of a hippie. So 559 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: I don't always like that type of stability. It kind 560 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: of scares me. It's just like very committal and so 561 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: um with Harlan. Before I got the script of that, 562 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what I would do TV 563 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: if I could find something that I love the people 564 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm working with, I love the character. It's a character 565 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: I haven't played before, and I get to do like 566 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: some physical comedy, like some loose field ball comedy because 567 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: I haven't got a chance to really do any of 568 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: that stuff, you know.
