Speaker 1: Coming up on Keep It Positive, Sweetie.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: I played Sheila on the Jamie Fox Show one of this,

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: and we're best of friends because we worked together on

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Jamie Fox and somebody came on and they had done

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: like a couple of lines. Now I was a recurring

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: on the show because I made Jamie laugh.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 3: He kept bringing me.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Back and she was comic and she said this to me.

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: She said, girl, you know you good on here. But

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: everybody talk and they said, you know, you must have

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: slept with Jamie to be on this show, like you know,

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: like they're trying to protect me, and it.

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Hurts feeling so bad because I was like, I worked

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:36,680

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: time to just really sit in it? Because I know

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: you're so busy. When do you find time to just

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: be like, wow, this is my life right now.

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: When I come out and sit in my chair, I the.

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: Door opens and I see all of these faces that

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: are clapping, that are smiling, and it's not because the

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: DJ has prompted.

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: You know, people to do it.

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I see what.

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: God's assignment is when I'm walking out and I'm always

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: walking out going lord wow, or when I walk down

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: the hallways and see you know my name and I go,

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: this is what I dreamed about. Or when you know,

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: like people send me a picture like I'm on my

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: pictures on the billboard outside and I go, oh my gosh,

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: that's like that's mine, that's me. Yes, my boys get

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: all high, that's Jerry. So that is when when I'm

70
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: here and I see it, or when people come and

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: tell me, you know, my husband he passed away and

72
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: we used to watch it together or my mom and

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: I watch it together, or you know, they just tell

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: me what the show means to them, and I just go,

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: thank you, Lord, and.

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: Then I start crying.

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: I love that. That's beautiful. I'm happy that you actually

78
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: find time, because sometimes I can be so busy and

79
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: pass us by. We look up and like, wait, I

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: accomplished all these things, but I didn't really get to

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: sit in it. So I'm happy that you daily can

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: sit in it and find time to just be grateful.

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: That's so beautiful.

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: I love that.

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if I get to like you know it,

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: take breaks or anything, but I guess it's just I

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: wanted to dream for so long, so sitting in it

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: and seeing that I was at Howard University yesterday when

89
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: all of the young people kept coming up and hugging me, go,

90
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: miss Sherry, I want my own talk show. I got

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: to sit in it by seeing I'm a living embodiment

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: of what you were dreaming about. So touch me, hug me,

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: talk to me. And that's when I go, Lord, Oh

94
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 2: my god, oh my god, oh you you helped you

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: blessed me with this.

96
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: Oh that is beautiful. Something that reads with me is

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: your new series it's never too late. I was thirty

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: eight when my career took off, and share it when

99
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: I tell you, I looked around the room and I

100
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: was like, everybody is either like ten years younger than me,

101
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: twelve years younger than me. And there were so many

102
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: moments where I felt like I was late to the party.

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: And as I gained my footing, I realized, you know what,

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: you're right on time because everything that I gained, the

105
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: knowledge that I learned during the waiting period, it really

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: like it just equips me for everything that I was

107
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: stepping into. What did you do to maintain the waiting

108
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: phase to like really get to where you wanted to

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: get to?

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny when I first met you, Crystal,

111
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: and you came on the show and you told that story,

112
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: I so is so resonated with me because it's like,

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: now you go, You're right where you supposed to be

114
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: at the time you were supposed to be there because

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: you were ready. He could trust you with this assignment.

116
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: And I remember I was at a church one time

117
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: in the pastor said, some of us have not had

118
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: our dream come true, but sometimes you have to mature

119
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: into the reality of that dream because if something happens

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: or there's a crash or burn, if you haven't matured

121
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: into it, you're gonna crash and burn. You're not gonna

122
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: know how to get back up. So I think a

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: lot of times when people have this, you know, success

124
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: too quickly, and they don't have anything up under them going.

125
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: I can keep pushing because I know God hadn't done

126
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: this for me when this happened.

127
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: I know this has been happening.

128
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: I know I have this experience, and you are right

129
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: where you're supposed to be.

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: An mmm.

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: He has seasoned you up so that when you when

132
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: you come out and people adore you and appreciate you,

133
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: it's because they can relate to all that life experience

134
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: you are bringing into your character.

135
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: It is right when I.

136
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: Tell you, girl, I sit on my couch and I

137
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: mean my talk to your couch, and I'm like, Lord,

138
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: why you gave me this talk show fifty four years?

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: So you know I'm you know, I ain't got no stamina. Lord,

140
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: who is this person sitting there?

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you that one time Lorenz Tate he

142
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: came on the show and he was sitting across from me,

143
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: and I said Okay, who is this? I know I

144
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: know him, but his name slipped from my mind. Yes,

145
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: Lorenz Tay, you you watching this. I know who you are,

146
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: like everything he had ever done, old dog, you know,

147
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: like everything. And I was like, but I can't remember

148
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: his name. And we talking and I was like, and

149
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: then God just gave it to me. I mean Janet

150
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: Jackson came. I jumped up and I said, I think

151
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: I didn't. I think I got to go to the bathroom.

152
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: Like it's I go. Why you give it to me now?

153
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: When I you know, I can't run out there and

154
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: be dropping it like it's hide and running up and

155
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: down the stairs.

156
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: And cause He's like, cause I need you to be settled.

157
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: That's why.

158
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: Because if I gave it to you in your twenties,

159
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: you be all out in the streets. You'd be going

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: to these clubs. You wouldn't be home and getting sleep

161
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: when you're supposed to.

162
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be.

163
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: You'd be feeling yourself. Angels wouldn't be able to do

164
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: nothing with you, because they like, she in the club,

165
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: she had.

166
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: Some kind of party.

167
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: She ain't.

168
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: So that's why we were supposed to be. I forgot

169
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: what you asked me.

170
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: No the insident. Yeah, Like I asked you, like, what

171
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: did you do in that waiting phase in Yeah.

172
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: Crystal, in the waiting phase. Everything that I.

173
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: Did, I am able to use in this talk show space.

174
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: I just, you know, when it didn't happen for me

175
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: in the talk show round, I really got back to

176
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: my stand up and stand up is what I do.

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: When I first sit in my chair, I do stand up.

178
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: I was you know, I'm able to talk for ninety

179
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: minutes on the stage, so I can do, you know,

180
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty minutes in that chair. So that worked together.

181
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: When I was on the view, I learned how to

182
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: read a prompter. You know, I do that every day.

183
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: When I was a co host on the show Dish Nation,

184
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: I was by myself in the studio in La while

185
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: De Brad and everybody in Headcrack were in Atlanta. So

186
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: I had to pretend look in that camera and pretend

187
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: like we were all together. So that's how I talk

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: to my audience, even though I'm reading words on the prompter.

189
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: I talked to them like We're all in the room together.

190
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: So all of that experience that I had, I took

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: it and.

192
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: I used it for what I am doing right now.

193
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: So it is you know, you got to look at

194
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: everything you're doing. How is it?

195
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: How are you going to be able to use it

196
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: for what you are doing right now, which is what

197
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: you were able to do.

198
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: No?

199
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, No, I'm hearing you talking. I'm like, it's a

200
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: mirror of my journey. Literally, And there were so many

201
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: times where I questioned. I like to question God, but

202
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: there are so many moments I'm like, Lord, what am

203
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: I doing? Why do you have me doing this? I

204
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: just didn't understand the steps that he was ordering for me.

205
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: And I always pray God order myselfs but then sometimes like,

206
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: this is.

207
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: Really the step you want me to take? Absolutely, but

208
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: it makes sense. It's so funny when he it does

209
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: make sense. When when I was a co host on

210
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: The View, I'm like, Lord, I don't even know as

211
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: much as these women.

212
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: When I said, tell you how many times I fell

213
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: on that show, fell and failed show going, I don't know.

214
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna get up on that show like.

215
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: One need to buy them and be given a deep

216
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: word every day and explaining the people what politics is.

217
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: I didn't know none of that.

218
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: I made so many mistakes but I needed to in

219
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: order for me to be who I am today, I

220
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: needed to make a bunch of mistakes.

221
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: And learn and learn how to course correct.

222
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: I needed to learn how to deal with, you know,

223
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: social media people when they get on their thing and

224
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: they be hating on you. Now, don't bother me. He

225
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: get on there, say whatever you want. I know how

226
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: to swipe. I ain't even got to answer you back,

227
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: you know, I know not to. I learned how not

228
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: to give people my energy. I learned how to you know,

229
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: know that when I open up my mouth, it's just

230
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: people that's not gonna agree with me, and that's okay.

231
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: So it's like everything what's that scripture Roman's a twenty

232
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: eight All things to get All things work together for

233
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: the good of them who loved the Lord and too

234
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: the call to according to his purpose. So it's like,

235
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: I know everything that I have done up until this

236
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: point is working together for me to do this show.

237
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I love that. It is so good because I

238
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: definitely resonate with you on that one thing that I

239
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: noticed when I come to your show. I was telling

240
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: my line producer this. I was like, every time I

241
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: go to a serious show, I feel so seen. I

242
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: love the way that you know, seriously, the way you

243
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: come out and hug on us. And I remember one

244
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: time you didn't see me before the show and you

245
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: came to I didn't see you before, let me give

246
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: you a hug. Like the fact that you even remembered,

247
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: like I didn't see Crystal, and I was like, this

248
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: woman has so much going on and to remember little

249
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: o me, you know, it just meant so much. And

250
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: every time I leave, the conversations that we have on

251
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: your show just leave me so full, and I just

252
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: feel so seen. I just want to thank you for that,

253
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560

255
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. And I was looking for you

256
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: all day.

257
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I saw everybody, and I said

258
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: I got you to said Christal.

259
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: Was coming, and I don't know where you were see you.

260
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: When I walked in and I didn't get to come upstairs,

261
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: but I was looking for you and then you were

262
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: there and I was like, okay, you here. But I

263
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: always knew how I wanted my show to be. I've

264
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: been dreaming about a talk show since I saw Oprah

265
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: Winfrey doing hers and I've been I've been a guest

266
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: on a lot of talk shows, and I knew experiences

267
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: that I liked that made me feel full and seen,

268
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: and experiences that I didn't like. Crystal, and I loved

269
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: it when the hosts would come and acknowledge me even

270
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: if they had never met me before, and put me

271
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: at ease about being on their show. And I said,

272
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: I want to be able to do that. I want

273
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: to be able to hug people.

274
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: And really let them know this is a safe space.

275
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: You are.

276
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: I promise you we're gonna have fun. You have nothing

277
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: to worry about with me.

278
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: And that I know you. I've watched, you know, episodes

279
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: of what you've done. I follow you. I'm I'm completely

280
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: blessed that you're here. So thank you for that, girl.

281
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: Yes, no, I'm telling you. I was like, I literally

282
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: feel seeing every time I walk out. So thank you, because,

283
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: like we both experienced, it can be the complete opposite sometimes, yes,

284
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: and seeing that showed me how I need to move forward.

285
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: I learned so much from so many people that I

286
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: look up to, and that's definitely something I took away

287
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: from you when I left your show.

288
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: Thank you, girl, when you have yours, so.

289
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Then we thank you. You are so multi talented. You

00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: both haven't worked with the incomparable Tyler Perry. Listen, Honey,

293
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I got a sneak peek of Straw.

294
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: Are you there, Cherry Cherry?

Speaker 3: My series going off going?

296
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: Uh huh Baby. You embodied the character so beautifully. It

297
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: was so grounded. The dance that you in Taraji did

298
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: in your scenes. I was blown away. When the credits rolled,

299
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: we were like, oh my gosh, and like Daval was there.

300
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: It was so many people in the room and we

301
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: were both like, Sherry killed it. And I just want

302
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: to give you your flowers and ask you what was

303
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: it like working with Tiller? Because I know what it's

304
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: been like working with him and the amazing things that

305
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: he has instilled in me as an actor, But what

306
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: was that experience like for you?

307
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: It was so funny because Tyler will text me and

308
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: he'll say, Sherry, I had a screening and this was

309
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: so good, and you know you were so good, or

310
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: he'll text me like after the screening he'll say, you know,

311
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: what did y'all think about Sherry Shepard? And he'll send

312
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: me the video and then you can hear him go Okay,

313
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: don't say nothing more because I don't want to get

314
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: a big head, which makes me laugh. And we were

315
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: talking about it, and I don't take come from very well.

316
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160

317
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: and how I was doing it, and I just totally

318
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: skipped over. I said, I love what Taraji did and

319
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: Tiyana and you know you and had sindbad and so

320
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: he said.

321
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: In all caps, he said, in all.

322
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: Caps, accepted what I'm saying to you, and hold on

323
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: cause I'm gonna get this right because I mean he said,

324
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: he said, you did that all caps accepted.

325
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: I said received.

326
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: And I said, well, the movie was well done. You

327
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: pulled on my heartstrings. And he said, why is you

328
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: talking about the movie and not you?

329
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: You killed it?

330
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: He said, get off my phone to you accept their reality.

331
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: That was a couple of weeks ago, and I said, well,

332
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna text you because it's hard for me

333
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: to accept compliments. So we I guess we're gonna be

334
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: talking for a minute. So why is it compliments. Why

335
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: is that, you know, because it's just like, because I know,

336
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: it's just not about.

337
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: Me and I and I've worked so hard.

338
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: I guess I've been disappointed so many times and had

339
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: so many people say no. And I've had so many

340
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: people tell me you're not good enough, you too you

341
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: too this, you too that, you too short, you're not

342
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: pretty enough, you too fat, you to this.

343
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: I've heard that my entire career.

344
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: It's almost like in a be an abused woman that

345
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: when you finally do get a nice man, you don't

346
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: know how to accept it. So I tend to gloss

347
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: over the flowers. Yeah, you have to step back and

348
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: say thank you. So when Tyler does it, it's too much.

349
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm thankful that I got to.

350
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: Work with him. How was it working with him?

Speaker 2: It was the most chaotic process I ever my dad

353
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: gone life. I know, I ain't never worked like I said,

354
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,960

355
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,560

00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: have to catch myself to kind of just slow down

471
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: because I'm so used to running circles around everybody, because

472
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: I worked with him from a pa all the way

473
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: to an actor. Yes, so I've been used to that

474
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: fast pace for so long that I have to even

475
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: catch myself sometimes say okay, Chris, so slow down. You

476
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: can breathe enjoy it for a little bit. But I

477
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: know what you mean.

478
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: His favorite saying is what is taking so long?

479
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what is going on?

480
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: Yep?

481
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: That is his favorite line. I can hear it in

482
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: my sleep. It's like it hants me sometimes, Oh my god.

483
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes he'd be like, because we'd have outside since he'd

484
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: be like, Sherry, I can hear him on the megaphone, Sherry,

485
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: what is taking so long? I'm like, because I'm getting

486
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: into character and now you'd have took me out of character.

487
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: Now I got it.

488
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 3: I need ten minutes.

489
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: Yes, No, seriously, what did you do to prepare for

490
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: that role?

491
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: It was literally I played astrae about a Taraji. I

492
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: don't remember the name of her character, but she just

493
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: she's just trying to make ends meet for her and

494
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: her daughter, and she's trying to, you know, survive, and

495
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: she gets caught up in more than she can handle

496
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: and tries to go to the bank. And I'm the

497
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: bank manager, Nicole, and I think that she is robbing.

498
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 3: It's a bank robbery.

499
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: Tiana Taylor is the hostage negotiator, and so the hostages

500
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: in the bank and we all think that Taragi is

501
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: robbing this bank, and how our relationship Taraji and I

502
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: we get closer, and then we really get to see

503
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: who she is, including Tiana and Taragi, and I memorized,

504
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: this is something I wasn't used to, Crystal. I was

505
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 2: thirty six scenes. I spoke in twenty three of them.

506
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: I memorized it in three days, wow, three days. And

507
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: there was one point with Tyana we it was so

508
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: much going on, girl, and Tianna looks at me as

509
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: a hostage negotiator cause I said, Taraji, I don't remember

510
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: her character's name. She not coming out, and Taragi.

511
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: Goes, do you what's my line? Do you know my line?

512
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: I go your line? When I say no, I don't

513
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 2: know your lie, and so we go back. She was like, well,

514
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 2: I think I say this. It's not well, I don't

515
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: know what you say. Because when you got to say

Speaker 2: I love connecting, but I love working with friends because

555
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: you just got a chemistry. You got a chemistry that

556
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: you can work with. And it shows when you have chemistry.

557
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: The hardest thing is to work with somebody. And I

558
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: have worked with people that I can't stand, can't dud

559
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: you know when you have to manufacture that chemistry, so

560
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: you know, so it's great, set the setting the boundaries.

561
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: I have learned at this age. I can't take the

562
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: weight of everybody on my shoulders.

563
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 3: I just can't.

564
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: It's too hard. Life is too short. I got to

565
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: make sure my son is taken care of. He's on

566
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: the spectrum, and I got to make sure you know

567
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 2: he's taken care of. And you know a lot of

568
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: people I've had to everybody can't go on the journey

569
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: with you.

570
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: And it's not usually you who changes, it's the way

571
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 3: they look at you.

572
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: Now, I can't buy all y'all Beyonce tickets.

573
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: I had to buy my tickets.

574
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: Not everybody mad at me because we ain't going to

575
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: the Beyonce concert together. It's like you've learned to say no,

576
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: yes that I can't be the support system for everybody

577
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: because it's dragging me down and I'm having palpitations in

578
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: my heart. So I have learned to Sometimes you have

579
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 2: to distance yourself for your mental sanity, which I have

580
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: learned to do. And so there's my boundaries, and I've

581
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: learned to say no. I say no a lot, and

582
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 2: it's no with a period.

583
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: It's no. I wish I could, but I can't. I

584
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: can't do it, yes, which really means I won't do it.

585
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: Come on, that's my favorite word. No, my friends, you

586
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,320

587
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: Yes, no, yes, no.

588
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: Exactly because people read, they get on the internet and

589
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: they start reading these dumb ass sights. How much is

590
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: this celebrity worth? And if you go on that site,

591
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: it looked like I'm making enough money to take.

592
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: Care of the world. Right, I don't know what they're

593
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: talking about.

594
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: No, so a lot of As soon as I hear

Speaker 3: Money for books, putting on the books. Can't do it.

599
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: Old boyfriends coming back, old friends coming back that I

600
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: know when I was in second grade, and so second

601
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: grade not second grade where we could just like shoot

602
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: the breeze and talk about what we do and where

603
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: we're at second grade?

604
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: Will we shoot the breeze?

605
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: And as I go, okay, what's good talking to you? Well,

606
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: hold on, wait a minute, Sherry, you girl, you know,

607
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: here we go.

608
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: Here we go? Anything I learned to say no, yes.

609
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: I love that you spoke on letting certain people go

610
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: and like they can't everybody can't come along with you.

611
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: What are some things that you've had to shed as

612
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: you continue to ascend?

613
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: What are some things that I've had to shed or

614
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: people or things that you had to realize?

615
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: I can't, this can't come with me.

616
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: I realized because some people are not able to accept

617
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: where you have gotten now, and they wanted to stay

618
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: the same. And things don't stay the same. Things are

619
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: constantly changing, things are constantly moving. And you know, those

620
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: people who want to, you know, stay the same, it's

621
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: hard to bring them along because you don't want to

622
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: stay the same. You want to ascend.

623
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: Like the prime example, Nisi Nash and I have been

624
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: friends for close to thirty years. Wow, that's my ride

Speaker 2: that's Sherry. Yeah, you know, so I And that's the

664
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: one thing I thought of. It's like our friendship has

665
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: endured because I'm when you know, NISI got three pilots

666
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: to do a talk show, and I was on a

667
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: guest on her pilots because I have one thing I

668
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: know how to be a guests on a pilot. You

669
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: think that was hard for me because I wanted that,

670
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: but my friend was getting the blessing and I kept saying, well,

671
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: if she get a talk show, that opened up the

672
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: room for.

673
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: Me, that's so good.

674
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: And she's that way with me, like she can cheer

675
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: me on even when she's not working. There was a

676
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: period of time Nisi wasn't working and.

677
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: I was booking all the jobs, you know, And so

678
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: we've just had this enduring friendship where we know it

679
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who is in our life. It doesn't matter

680
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: that you know, somebody recognizes one. Sometimes people recognize Nissi,

681
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: they don't even know who I am. But then sometimes

682
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: we somewhere and they recognize me. They don't know who

683
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: Nissi is. And then one time we was in New York,

684
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 2: we got lost. They thought Nissi was Nini Leaks and

685
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: they thought I was Star Jones. They recognize me one

686
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: of us, So it's it's and we.

687
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 3: Laughed all night.

688
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: Oh I love that.

689
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,080

00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: be friends with people that if you don't talk to

695

00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: What are some things Do you have a therapist? What

732
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: are some things that you do to really just keep

733
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: your mental health strong with everything that you have going on?

734
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: So I know, for me, I dealt with my first

735
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: anxiety attack last year, just the waiting of it all

736
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: and worried about how I'm I supposed to keep all

737
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: this up, and what if it doesn't last, what the

738
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: show gets canceled, all these different thoughts. Crept in and

739
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: literally had my first panic attack. And that's when I

740
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: really got a therapist and really started talking through things

741
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: and realized that if I'm grounded in my faith, what

742
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: am I worried about? Yeh flipping ins four and six,

743
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: but I wanted to know what are some practices that

744
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: you do just to really keep your mental health strong.

745
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: I hate that you went through that. If you ever

746
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: go through that, call me girl, because I'm good.

747
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm a good listener and.

748
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: I'm a good you know, having gone through that, having

749
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: attacks of I'm not worthy?

750
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: Why do I have it?

751
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: And other people I feel a more talent to me

752
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: why they don't have it? And I'll be in tears,

753
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: can't breathe, you know, just like what if they find

754
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: out I'm a fraud that I can't do this? Do

755
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: I deserve it? Because I don't have the degree that

756
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: they have. You know that this came to me. Somebody

757
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: said why I didn't when I used to play Sheila

758
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 2: on the Jamie Fox show.

759
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: One of this.

760
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: And we're best of friends because we worked together on

761
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: Jamie Fox. And somebody came on and they had done

762
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: like a couple of lines. Now I was a recurring

763
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: on the show because I made Jamie laugh. He kept

764
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 2: bringing me back and she was comic and she said

765
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 2: this to me. She said, girl, you know you good

766
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: on here. But everybody talk and they said, you know,

767
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: you must have slept with Jamie to be on this

768
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: show like you know, like they're trying to protect me.

769
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: And it hurts feeling so bad because I was like

770
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 3: I worked for this. I mean, you know you good,

771
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: but you ain't that good.

772
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: And it just really hurt my feelings and I would

773
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: go to these panic attacks like I don't deserve this

774
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: because there's people funnier than me. Why I'm I on

775
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: the view, it's people who have more knowledge than me.

776
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 2: It just in this season of my life, like maybe

777
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 2: before the talk show, I realized, you know what, if

778
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 2: God gave you the assignment, it's something that you have

779
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,400

793
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 2: Have our own gifting that is so different from somebody else.

794
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: I cannot I watch Taraji and straw love to be

795
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: at that level that she is. I gotta do the

796
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,920

Speaker 2: and crying.

799
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: And I can't go to the bathroom Tyler start to crying.

800
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm on the floor.

801
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: Gotta do a whole hour of storytelling in my mind

802
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 2: to get the tears. But I said, God is calling

803
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: to Raji to do what Touraji does, but he's calling

804

Speaker 2: me to do what nobody can do. I'm the one

805
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: that I'll have Tyler on the floor cracking up when

806
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,000

807
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: to feel good and be able to let go and laugh.

808
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: That's what I do trying to be that person. I'm

00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,000

823
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 2: if you are able to get therapy. I think it's

824
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: so important to be able to talk to a person

825
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: who's impartial, who can help you course correct and help

826

00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: How do I you know, I'm definitely I missed my

00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm in a position.

831
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: Listen. I know I have to stay on top of

832
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: that because it's so important. Thank you for sharing that.

833
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 2: But you are doing you know what you were doing

834
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: at the level you're doing it, Chrystal. You have to

835
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: be at peace. You have to because you know to

836
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: whom much is given, much is required. Yes, So in

837
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: every nobody has something that they're supposed to do to

838
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 2: change the world.

839
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: I believe that.

840
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: But sometimes there are some people who are out there

841
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: in public and have to deal with a lot of

842
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 2: different things, and for you to be able to deal

843
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: with it, it can get overwhelming. Like you're you're a star,

844
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: so that can be so overwhelming. Then you get people

845
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: who just they don't like you because they're scared to

846
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: try to do what you do. It's a lot of fear,

847
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: and that's whe they're coming from. Fear and resentment because

848
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: they don't have enough courage to step out of their

849
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: comfort zone and do what you do. Ask they don't

850
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: have enough, you know, they don't they want to be you,

851
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: but they don't want to do the work of what

852
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,479
Speaker 2: it takes to be.

853
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 3: It takes to be you.

854
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: And so I always also I ask God, show me

855
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: that person the way you see them, because you love everybody,

856
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: but show me that person the way you see them.

857
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 2: And God shows me a lot people on social media.

858
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: They're hurting, they're you know, they are lonely, they're living

859
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 2: vicariously through and they're resentful because they are scared. And

860
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 2: it gives me a different kind of compassion with like

861
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna answer you back, I'm not gonna

862
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,959
Speaker 2: get mad, I'm gonna just swipe and delete and pray

863
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: that God will touch you and give you the courage

864
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: to step out of your comfort zone. Yes, I find

865
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 2: myself praying for people more. And then it makes me laugh.

866
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: They come in me, you think you cute, that's what

867
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: you think you cute? You ain't cute, you ain't And

870
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,960

00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: am iver, Yes, you need to stop doing that.

Speaker 2: God bless you. Yeah, something else is better for you.

877
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 2: And I said, but go support the other black women

878
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: who have a show, because maybe they exactly.

879
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you can get some what you need from somewhere else.

880
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: But that's for me and my household. Jeffrey's fine, Jeffrey's laughing.

887
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: balance motherhood and everything else you have going on? Because

888
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: I can imagine that's a lot. And you spoke on

889
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: him being autistic? How is that managing that?

890
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 3: I always have to go God, I give you everything.

891
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,200

892
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: that I would like to be in. I give you,

893
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: you know, Jeffrey, give me back what you want me

894
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 2: to have. So I've already given it to him, and

895
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: so he gives me that. If I'm not able, I

896
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: say no to a lot of stuff. Movie role come up,

897
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: and it's just like, no, I know I can't do that.

898
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: I've done a talk show all, you know for eight months,

899
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: these four I got. I cannot go and do a movie,

900
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: you know, So I have to say no. But I

901
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: know God will give it back to me in some

902
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 2: other way. So that's my prayer in the mornings. And also,

903
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: somebody once told me there's gonna be a lot of

904
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 2: spinning wheels in your life. Make sure Jeffrey's not one

905
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: of them. So he's definitely priority, and if it affects him,

906
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: then I go. My first assignment is.

907
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm a mother.

908
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't be out if you know, I come

911
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,640

Speaker 2: teacher conference. Zoom, I gotta do. I can't go out

913
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: with you. So he's priority, and then everything else goes

914
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: after that. So you gotta know what your priorities are,

915
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 2: and you have to know if you're fulfilling the first

916

Speaker 2: assignment God gave you, he gonna bring everything back around.

917
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: So for people thinking, you know, oh I got it,

918
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,080

Speaker 3: Which he gave to you.

00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: What is one thing that you, as an accomplished talk

995
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,560

996
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: wants to do that one.

997
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 2: Day, You're doing it you are doing it, so you

998
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: are preparing yourself so that when that opportunity comes.

999
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 3: You are there.

1000
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 2: You're ready and you're ready to walk into it. It's

1001
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: the faith with out works is dead, so you are

1002
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 2: operating in it now. You said for me, I couldn't

1003
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 2: get a talk show, and somebody says, start a podcast.

1004
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 2: Stop asking for permission to get a talk show from them.

1005
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 2: And I started a podcast to NAACP Image Awards later

1006
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: and then the talk show came. So I slipped out

1007
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: on faith and did my own thing.

1008
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 3: That is how you do it.

1009
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 2: The advice I will give you, keep doing what you're

1010
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 2: doing and show people what you do, and that person

1011
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,439
Speaker 2: is going to so that you feel completely prepared when

1012
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,959
Speaker 2: that opportunity comes, because it will.

1013
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you so much, all right, girl, it was

1014
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,760

Speaker 1: was late to the party. But what I realized as

1034
