<v Speaker 2>Jamie Fox and somebody came on and they had done

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 2>like a couple of lines. Now I was a recurring

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 2>on the show because I made Jamie laugh.

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:19.480

<v Speaker 2>Back and she was comic and she said this to me.

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>She said, girl, you know you good on here. But

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>everybody talk and they said, you know, you must have

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>slept with Jamie to be on this show, like you know,

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.519

<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, girl, I'm just like Jesus Lord, thank

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>you so much. A third season like this is when

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>when talk shows get canceled after the first season. To

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>know that I'm connecting with people, to know that they're

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 2>enjoying my brand of silliness and human crystal.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 3>When I tell you.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm so thankful girl, I'd be wanting to go into

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>a praise shout.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I know that's right, Listen, I'm so proud of you,

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>like you've gained so many accolades, denominations. Have you had

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>time to just really sit in it? Because I know

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you're so busy. When do you find time to just

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>be like, wow, this is my life right now.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 3>When I come out and sit in my chair, I the.

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Door opens and I see all of these faces that

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>are clapping, that are smiling, and it's not because the

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>DJ has prompted.

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, people to do it.

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I see what.

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>God's assignment is when I'm walking out and I'm always

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>walking out going lord wow, or when I walk down

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>the hallways and see you know my name and I go,

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 2>this is what I dreamed about. Or when you know,

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>like people send me a picture like I'm on my

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>pictures on the billboard outside and I go, oh my gosh,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that's like that's mine, that's me. Yes, my boys get

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>all high, that's Jerry. So that is when when I'm

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>here and I see it, or when people come and

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>tell me, you know, my husband he passed away and

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>we used to watch it together or my mom and

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I watch it together, or you know, they just tell

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 2>me what the show means to them, and I just go,

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Lord, and.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Then I start crying.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I love that. That's beautiful. I'm happy that you actually

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>find time, because sometimes I can be so busy and

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>pass us by. We look up and like, wait, I

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>accomplished all these things, but I didn't really get to

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>sit in it. So I'm happy that you daily can

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 1>sit in it and find time to just be grateful.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>That's so beautiful.

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I get to like you know it,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>take breaks or anything, but I guess it's just I

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>wanted to dream for so long, so sitting in it

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and seeing that I was at Howard University yesterday when

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>all of the young people kept coming up and hugging me, go,

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>miss Sherry, I want my own talk show. I got

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 2>to sit in it by seeing I'm a living embodiment

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 2>of what you were dreaming about. So touch me, hug me,

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 2>talk to me. And that's when I go, Lord, Oh

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.919
<v Speaker 2>my god, oh my god, oh you you helped you

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>blessed me with this.

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh that is beautiful. Something that reads with me is

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>your new series it's never too late. I was thirty

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>eight when my career took off, and share it when

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, I looked around the room and I

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, everybody is either like ten years younger than me,

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>twelve years younger than me. And there were so many

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>moments where I felt like I was late to the party.

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>And as I gained my footing, I realized, you know what,

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you're right on time because everything that I gained, the

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 1>knowledge that I learned during the waiting period, it really

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like it just equips me for everything that I was

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>stepping into. What did you do to maintain the waiting

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>phase to like really get to where you wanted to

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>get to?

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's so funny when I first met you, Crystal,

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>and you came on the show and you told that story,

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I so is so resonated with me because it's like,

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>now you go, You're right where you supposed to be

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>at the time you were supposed to be there because

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you were ready. He could trust you with this assignment.

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 2>And I remember I was at a church one time

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 2>in the pastor said, some of us have not had

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>our dream come true, but sometimes you have to mature

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>into the reality of that dream because if something happens

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>or there's a crash or burn, if you haven't matured

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>into it, you're gonna crash and burn. You're not gonna

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 2>know how to get back up. So I think a

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of times when people have this, you know, success

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 2>too quickly, and they don't have anything up under them going.

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I can keep pushing because I know God hadn't done

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>this for me when this happened.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I know this has been happening.

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I know I have this experience, and you are right

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>where you're supposed to be.

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 1>An mmm.

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>He has seasoned you up so that when you when

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>you come out and people adore you and appreciate you,

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>it's because they can relate to all that life experience

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you are bringing into your character.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>It is right when I.

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Tell you, girl, I sit on my couch and I

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 2>mean my talk to your couch, and I'm like, Lord,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>why you gave me this talk show fifty four years?

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>So you know I'm you know, I ain't got no stamina. Lord,

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 3>who is this person sitting there?

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna tell you that one time Lorenz Tate he

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>came on the show and he was sitting across from me,

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 2>and I said Okay, who is this? I know I

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 2>know him, but his name slipped from my mind. Yes,

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Lorenz Tay, you you watching this. I know who you are,

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>like everything he had ever done, old dog, you know,

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>like everything. And I was like, but I can't remember

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>his name. And we talking and I was like, and

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>then God just gave it to me. I mean Janet

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Jackson came. I jumped up and I said, I think

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I think I got to go to the bathroom.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Like it's I go. Why you give it to me now?

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>When I you know, I can't run out there and

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>be dropping it like it's hide and running up and

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>down the stairs.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 3>And cause He's like, cause I need you to be settled.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>That's why.

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Because if I gave it to you in your twenties,

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 2>you be all out in the streets. You'd be going

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 2>to these clubs. You wouldn't be home and getting sleep

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 2>when you're supposed to.

0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 3>You wouldn't be.

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>You'd be feeling yourself. Angels wouldn't be able to do

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 2>nothing with you, because they like, she in the club,

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>she had.

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Some kind of party.

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>She ain't.

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 3>So that's why we were supposed to be. I forgot

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 3>what you asked me.

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>No the insident. Yeah, Like I asked you, like, what

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>did you do in that waiting phase in Yeah.

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Crystal, in the waiting phase. Everything that I.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Did, I am able to use in this talk show space.

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I just, you know, when it didn't happen for me

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>in the talk show round, I really got back to

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>my stand up and stand up is what I do.

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 3>When I first sit in my chair, I do stand up.

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I was you know, I'm able to talk for ninety

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 2>minutes on the stage, so I can do, you know,

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>nineteen twenty minutes in that chair. So that worked together.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 2>When I was on the view, I learned how to

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>read a prompter. You know, I do that every day.

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>When I was a co host on the show Dish Nation,

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I was by myself in the studio in La while

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 2>De Brad and everybody in Headcrack were in Atlanta. So

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I had to pretend look in that camera and pretend

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>like we were all together. So that's how I talk

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>to my audience, even though I'm reading words on the prompter.

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I talked to them like We're all in the room together.

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So all of that experience that I had, I took

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>it and.

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I used it for what I am doing right now.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 3>So it is you know, you got to look at

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 3>everything you're doing. How is it?

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>How are you going to be able to use it

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>for what you are doing right now, which is what

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 2>you were able to do.

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, No, I'm hearing you talking. I'm like, it's a

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>mirror of my journey. Literally, And there were so many

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>times where I questioned. I like to question God, but

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>there are so many moments I'm like, Lord, what am

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I doing? Why do you have me doing this? I

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>just didn't understand the steps that he was ordering for me.

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And I always pray God order myselfs but then sometimes like,

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this is.

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Really the step you want me to take? Absolutely, but

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 2>it makes sense. It's so funny when he it does

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>make sense. When when I was a co host on

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>The View, I'm like, Lord, I don't even know as

0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 2>much as these women.

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 3>When I said, tell you how many times I fell

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 3>on that show, fell and failed show going, I don't know.

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I thought I was gonna get up on that show like.

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>One need to buy them and be given a deep

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 2>word every day and explaining the people what politics is.

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know none of that.

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I made so many mistakes but I needed to in

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 2>order for me to be who I am today, I

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>needed to make a bunch of mistakes.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 3>And learn and learn how to course correct.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I needed to learn how to deal with, you know,

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>social media people when they get on their thing and

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>they be hating on you. Now, don't bother me. He

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 2>get on there, say whatever you want. I know how

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 2>to swipe. I ain't even got to answer you back,

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, I know not to. I learned how not

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to give people my energy. I learned how to you know,

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>know that when I open up my mouth, it's just

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 2>people that's not gonna agree with me, and that's okay.

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's like everything what's that scripture Roman's a twenty

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>eight All things to get All things work together for

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the good of them who loved the Lord and too

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>the call to according to his purpose. So it's like,

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I know everything that I have done up until this

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 2>point is working together for me to do this show.

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I love that. It is so good because I

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>definitely resonate with you on that one thing that I

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>noticed when I come to your show. I was telling

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>my line producer this. I was like, every time I

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>go to a serious show, I feel so seen. I

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>love the way that you know, seriously, the way you

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 1>come out and hug on us. And I remember one

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.839
<v Speaker 1>time you didn't see me before the show and you

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>came to I didn't see you before, let me give

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you a hug. Like the fact that you even remembered,

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>like I didn't see Crystal, and I was like, this

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>woman has so much going on and to remember little

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>o me, you know, it just meant so much. And

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>every time I leave, the conversations that we have on

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>your show just leave me so full, and I just

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>feel so seen. I just want to thank you for that,

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>because oh you don't it feels like just okay, interview next,

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, but you do not make me feel like that.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much. And I was looking for you

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 3>all day.

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, I saw everybody, and I said

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I got you to said Christal.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Was coming, and I don't know where you were see you.

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 2>When I walked in and I didn't get to come upstairs,

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 2>but I was looking for you and then you were

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 2>there and I was like, okay, you here. But I

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 2>always knew how I wanted my show to be. I've

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>been dreaming about a talk show since I saw Oprah

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Winfrey doing hers and I've been I've been a guest

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>on a lot of talk shows, and I knew experiences

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>that I liked that made me feel full and seen,

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and experiences that I didn't like. Crystal, and I loved

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>it when the hosts would come and acknowledge me even

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 2>if they had never met me before, and put me

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 2>at ease about being on their show. And I said,

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to be able to do that. I want

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to be able to hug people.

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 3>And really let them know this is a safe space.

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>You are.

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I promise you we're gonna have fun. You have nothing

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>to worry about with me.

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 3>And that I know you. I've watched, you know, episodes

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 3>of what you've done. I follow you. I'm I'm completely

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 3>blessed that you're here. So thank you for that, girl.

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, no, I'm telling you. I was like, I literally

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>feel seeing every time I walk out. So thank you, because,

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>like we both experienced, it can be the complete opposite sometimes, yes,

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and seeing that showed me how I need to move forward.

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I learned so much from so many people that I

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 1>look up to, and that's definitely something I took away

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>from you when I left your show.

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, girl, when you have yours, so.

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Then we thank you. You are so multi talented. You

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>do comedy, you do movies, television, now you have your

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>own talk show. You and I have something coming. We

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>both haven't worked with the incomparable Tyler Perry. Listen, Honey,

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you. I got a sneak peek of Straw.

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you there, Cherry Cherry?

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 3>My series going off going?

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh Baby. You embodied the character so beautifully. It

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>was so grounded. The dance that you in Taraji did

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>in your scenes. I was blown away. When the credits rolled,

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 1>we were like, oh my gosh, and like Daval was there.

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It was so many people in the room and we

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>were both like, Sherry killed it. And I just want

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to give you your flowers and ask you what was

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it like working with Tiller? Because I know what it's

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>been like working with him and the amazing things that

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>he has instilled in me as an actor, But what

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>was that experience like for you?

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>It was so funny because Tyler will text me and

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 2>he'll say, Sherry, I had a screening and this was

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>so good, and you know you were so good, or

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>he'll text me like after the screening he'll say, you know,

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>what did y'all think about Sherry Shepard? And he'll send

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 2>me the video and then you can hear him go Okay,

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>don't say nothing more because I don't want to get

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 2>a big head, which makes me laugh. And we were

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about it, and I don't take come from very well.

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 2>So he was telling me how much he liked me

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 2>and how I was doing it, and I just totally

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 2>skipped over. I said, I love what Taraji did and

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Tiyana and you know you and had sindbad and so

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>he said.

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 3>In all caps, he said, in all.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Caps, accepted what I'm saying to you, and hold on

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 2>cause I'm gonna get this right because I mean he said,

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 2>he said, you did that all caps accepted.

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I said received.

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>And I said, well, the movie was well done. You

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 2>pulled on my heartstrings. And he said, why is you

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about the movie and not you?

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>You killed it?

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 3>He said, get off my phone to you accept their reality.

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 2>That was a couple of weeks ago, and I said, well,

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I ain't gonna text you because it's hard for me

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to accept compliments. So we I guess we're gonna be

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>talking for a minute. So why is it compliments. Why

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 2>is that, you know, because it's just like, because I know,

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just not about.

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Me and I and I've worked so hard.

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess I've been disappointed so many times and had

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 2>so many people say no. And I've had so many

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>people tell me you're not good enough, you too you

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>too this, you too that, you too short, you're not

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty enough, you too fat, you to this.

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 3>I've heard that my entire career.

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like in a be an abused woman that

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 2>when you finally do get a nice man, you don't

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 2>know how to accept it. So I tend to gloss

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.880
<v Speaker 2>over the flowers. Yeah, you have to step back and

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>say thank you. So when Tyler does it, it's too much.

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm thankful that I got to.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Work with him. How was it working with him?

<v Speaker 3>What he kept doing.

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to keep this is a drama. This movie

<v Speaker 2>He let me change the name. But I was to

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 2>do I was supposed to walk to the bank. I

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.120

<v Speaker 2>just like you know, cause I do a drum.

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:17.040

<v Speaker 2>And he goes what And then everybody started laughing. He's like,

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't need the sex. That's why I named Joe,

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 2>asked Henrietta.

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:30.320

<v Speaker 2>it's sexual.

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.199
<v Speaker 3>So working with Tyler, I loved it. And in the

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.160
<v Speaker 3>middle of it and let me Taraji is a beast

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.479
<v Speaker 3>of an actress, Yes, and she was.

<v Speaker 2>Kevin Hart and then in this movie.

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 3>But in the middle of so she.

<v Speaker 1>She was.

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't be. I don't have to cry all the time.

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>It takes me three days to get into my crying

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and then I gotta hold on to it.

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.840

<v Speaker 3>Right, I need? I ran through that.

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I was like, it's just it costs for me to

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>take my clothes off. I was the last one to leave,

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and I said, I thought we were spending the night.

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>He said, you know you gotta go home.

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Listen, that's his favorite line. All right, so y'all ready,

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:32.320

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 3>He's standing on that stairs for a minute to see

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 3>you through.

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, drop me off here because I'm

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 2>about to go back I'm about to sneak back into

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 2>this house till I found out that Tyler got wild

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 2>boar and rafts and all kinds of stuff that will

0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:50.359
<v Speaker 2>eat a black lady. Absolutely, yes, I got back into

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 2>that car and I left.

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 3>So there. I love Tyler.

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Everybody loves town. He's just amazing and

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you got to experience. And one thing I

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:05.440
<v Speaker 1>do say after working with him, you look around, You're like,

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 1>why is everybody moving so slow? Like, come on, let's

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>move it because we know it's done faster. And I

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>have to catch myself to kind of just slow down

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.680
<v Speaker 1>because I'm so used to running circles around everybody, because

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I worked with him from a pa all the way

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 1>to an actor. Yes, so I've been used to that

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>fast pace for so long that I have to even

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>catch myself sometimes say okay, Chris, so slow down. You

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.159
<v Speaker 1>can breathe enjoy it for a little bit. But I

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 1>know what you mean.

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 2>His favorite saying is what is taking so long?

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, what is going on?

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Yep?

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.679
<v Speaker 1>That is his favorite line. I can hear it in

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>my sleep. It's like it hants me sometimes, Oh my god.

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes he'd be like, because we'd have outside since he'd

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 2>be like, Sherry, I can hear him on the megaphone, Sherry,

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 2>what is taking so long? I'm like, because I'm getting

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 2>into character and now you'd have took me out of character.

0:22:58.119 --> 0:22:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Now I got it.

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:00.119
<v Speaker 3>I need ten minutes.

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes, No, seriously, what did you do to prepare for

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that role?

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 2>It was literally I played astrae about a Taraji. I

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 2>don't remember the name of her character, but she just

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 2>she's just trying to make ends meet for her and

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>her daughter, and she's trying to, you know, survive, and

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 2>she gets caught up in more than she can handle

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 2>and tries to go to the bank. And I'm the

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 2>bank manager, Nicole, and I think that she is robbing.

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a bank robbery.

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Tiana Taylor is the hostage negotiator, and so the hostages

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 2>in the bank and we all think that Taragi is

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 2>robbing this bank, and how our relationship Taraji and I

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>we get closer, and then we really get to see

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 2>who she is, including Tiana and Taragi, and I memorized,

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 2>this is something I wasn't used to, Crystal. I was

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty six scenes. I spoke in twenty three of them.

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I memorized it in three days, wow, three days. And

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 2>there was one point with Tyana we it was so

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.440
<v Speaker 2>much going on, girl, and Tianna looks at me as

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 2>a hostage negotiator cause I said, Taraji, I don't remember

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 2>her character's name. She not coming out, and Taragi.

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Goes, do you what's my line? Do you know my line?

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I go your line? When I say no, I don't

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 2>know your lie, and so we go back. She was like, well,

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I think I say this. It's not well, I don't

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 2>know what you say. Because when you got to say

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 2>your thing for me to.

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Say my thing, now here you go. What is what

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 3>is going on? Back there? Sianna Sherry, what is going on?

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 2>We jumped and I would do it all again.

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, I love it. Well, congratulations and I cannot

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.040

<v Speaker 2>I don't want nothing scared with nobody breaking in the

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 2>house and killing you and all of that. None of that.

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 2>So just those kinds of movies. But so it's just

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 2>like meeting people in my life, you know, newer people.

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I love connecting, but I love working with friends because

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 2>you just got a chemistry. You got a chemistry that

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:28.880
<v Speaker 2>you can work with. And it shows when you have chemistry.

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 2>The hardest thing is to work with somebody. And I

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>have worked with people that I can't stand, can't dud

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you know when you have to manufacture that chemistry, so

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, so it's great, set the setting the boundaries.

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I have learned at this age. I can't take the

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 2>weight of everybody on my shoulders.

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:47.399
<v Speaker 3>I just can't.

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 2>It's too hard. Life is too short. I got to

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 2>make sure my son is taken care of. He's on

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the spectrum, and I got to make sure you know

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 2>he's taken care of. And you know a lot of

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 2>people I've had to everybody can't go on the journey

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 2>with you.

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 3>And it's not usually you who changes, it's the way

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:05.679
<v Speaker 3>they look at you.

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, I can't buy all y'all Beyonce tickets.

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 3>I had to buy my tickets.

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Not everybody mad at me because we ain't going to

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 2>the Beyonce concert together. It's like you've learned to say no,

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 2>yes that I can't be the support system for everybody

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>because it's dragging me down and I'm having palpitations in

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 2>my heart. So I have learned to Sometimes you have

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 2>to distance yourself for your mental sanity, which I have

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 2>learned to do. And so there's my boundaries, and I've

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 2>learned to say no. I say no a lot, and

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:45.439
<v Speaker 2>it's no with a period.

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:48.880
<v Speaker 3>It's no. I wish I could, but I can't. I

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:52.920
<v Speaker 3>can't do it, yes, which really means I won't do it.

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Come on, that's my favorite word. No, my friends, you

0:27:58.320 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>say no so easily.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, no, yes, no.

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Exactly because people read, they get on the internet and

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 2>they start reading these dumb ass sights. How much is

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 2>this celebrity worth? And if you go on that site,

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 2>it looked like I'm making enough money to take.

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Care of the world. Right, I don't know what they're

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:16.480
<v Speaker 3>talking about.

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 2>No, so a lot of As soon as I hear

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.959
<v Speaker 2>the phone, can you accept the collect call from this cousin?

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 3>M No, ma'am, no, sir. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>No money yeah, no.

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Money for books, putting on the books. Can't do it.

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Old boyfriends coming back, old friends coming back that I

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 2>know when I was in second grade, and so second

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>grade not second grade where we could just like shoot

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 2>the breeze and talk about what we do and where

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 2>we're at second grade?

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Will we shoot the breeze?

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 2>And as I go, okay, what's good talking to you? Well,

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 2>hold on, wait a minute, Sherry, you girl, you know,

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>here we go.

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Here we go? Anything I learned to say no, yes.

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I love that you spoke on letting certain people go

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and like they can't everybody can't come along with you.

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>What are some things that you've had to shed as

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you continue to ascend?

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 2>What are some things that I've had to shed or

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>people or things that you had to realize?

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't, this can't come with me.

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I realized because some people are not able to accept

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 3>where you have gotten now, and they wanted to stay

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 3>the same. And things don't stay the same. Things are

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 3>constantly changing, things are constantly moving. And you know, those

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 3>people who want to, you know, stay the same, it's

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 3>hard to bring them along because you don't want to

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 3>stay the same. You want to ascend.

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Like the prime example, Nisi Nash and I have been

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 2>friends for close to thirty years. Wow, that's my ride

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 2>or die. We there are times we've talked for three

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 2>four hours. Early in the morning, she called me before

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I got to talk to show I can't talk there

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.480
<v Speaker 2>early and I'm in an the time zone.

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 3>In the morning and we would just talk.

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.239
<v Speaker 2>I've been with her through the hard times. She's been

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>with me through the hard times, and we celebrated things together.

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 2>She's very busy right now. She's winning awards, she's at

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:19.360
<v Speaker 2>awards shows, She's doing a lot of stuff.

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm very busy.

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 2>But she's now in the company of people that we

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 2>can only dream about meeting. She's in those rooms now,

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and those people she's got that personality.

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 3>They love her, and so now.

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 2>She's doing things with people who are I've never even

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 2>met them, you know, But I'm not jealous.

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm so happy to see her in those spaces now.

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:45.160

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.960
<v Speaker 2>it's like, when I look at her, I'm so happy

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 2>that you're in front of these people, and I don't

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 2>expect you to be I'm never in there going.

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 3>With telling them like me, I'm an actress too. Why

<v Speaker 3>don't you talk to so and so and tell them

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking.

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't do that. I don't put that pressure on her.

0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Go be because I know where I'm at in her life.

0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>When you need the real deal and you gotta talk

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 2>and you gotta get that girl. Are we gonna go

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 2>over to uh? You know when she says me, we're

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna go over to his house and we're gonna freaking

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:35.720
<v Speaker 2>break a window. She gonna call Sherry when she got

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the deep stuff and the stuff that's

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 2>just like behind the smile, behind the red carpet stuff,

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that's Sherry. Yeah, you know, so I And that's the

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 2>one thing I thought of. It's like our friendship has

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:53.360
<v Speaker 2>endured because I'm when you know, NISI got three pilots

0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 2>to do a talk show, and I was on a

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 2>guest on her pilots because I have one thing I

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 2>know how to be a guests on a pilot. You

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 2>think that was hard for me because I wanted that,

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 2>but my friend was getting the blessing and I kept saying, well,

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>if she get a talk show, that opened up the

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>room for.

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Me, that's so good.

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 3>And she's that way with me, like she can cheer

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 3>me on even when she's not working. There was a

0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 3>period of time Nisi wasn't working and.

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I was booking all the jobs, you know, And so

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>we've just had this enduring friendship where we know it

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter who is in our life. It doesn't matter

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 2>that you know, somebody recognizes one. Sometimes people recognize Nissi,

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 2>they don't even know who I am. But then sometimes

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.360
<v Speaker 2>we somewhere and they recognize me. They don't know who

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Nissi is. And then one time we was in New York,

0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:41.239
<v Speaker 2>we got lost. They thought Nissi was Nini Leaks and

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>they thought I was Star Jones. They recognize me one

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of us, So it's it's and we.

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Laughed all night.

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love that.

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 2>So you have to be around people I feel who

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 2>are secure, who know oh you know, who know who

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:04.479
<v Speaker 2>they are in your life. You have to And Tyler

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 2>said this to me, Because I said, Tyler, I asked

0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 2>him about boundaries, and he said, here, you got to

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 2>be friends with people that if you don't talk to

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:14.720
<v Speaker 2>them for six months, you can pick that phone back

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 2>up and y'all can carry on where you left off.

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 3>They ain't going you won't never call me. Why you

0:33:19.120 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 3>don't invite me to nothing? That's what I was dealing with.

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Why can't go here with you? How come you telling

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 3>them you not?

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't.

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I was going, and so I started having to go, Okay,

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:31.920

<v Speaker 2>the outer.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's it. I've dealt with the same thing as

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I've gained fame and just navigating friendships. So it's good

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to know that you were able to like find good

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 1>people like Needcy that you could do life with. And

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it's something part I have friends like that too, where

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:56.320

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Not acting, not acting brand new, but knowing you're busy. Yes,

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 2>you're busy, and I understand you're busy, but it's not

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 2>going to affect our friendship because I'm gonna be here

<v Speaker 2>life and you can tell me and well, and then.

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I understand you can't talk for hours like you used to.

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you gotta go having people in your life, because

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I have other people in my life that I talk

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.799
<v Speaker 2>to and they're busy, you know, they got to be

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 2>on a set or they got to go and do something,

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:31.520
<v Speaker 2>and I.

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Go, okay, but I know you know I love you.

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>And I know you love me, and it's just a

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:39.360
<v Speaker 2>very quick but we check in with each other. So

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the people in my life, they don't resent, and I'm

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:45.240
<v Speaker 2>grateful for that.

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 1>That's beautiful. I love that you touched on mental health.

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:51.960
<v Speaker 1>What are some things Do you have a therapist? What

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>are some things that you do to really just keep

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:57.080
<v Speaker 1>your mental health strong with everything that you have going on?

0:34:57.120 --> 0:34:59.240
<v Speaker 1>So I know, for me, I dealt with my first

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:02.680
<v Speaker 1>anxiety attack last year, just the waiting of it all

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and worried about how I'm I supposed to keep all

0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:06.320
<v Speaker 1>this up, and what if it doesn't last, what the

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 1>show gets canceled, all these different thoughts. Crept in and

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:13.520
<v Speaker 1>literally had my first panic attack. And that's when I

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 1>really got a therapist and really started talking through things

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and realized that if I'm grounded in my faith, what

0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 1>am I worried about? Yeh flipping ins four and six,

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to know what are some practices that

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you do just to really keep your mental health strong.

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I hate that you went through that. If you ever

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 2>go through that, call me girl, because I'm good.

0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a good listener and.

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm a good you know, having gone through that, having

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:39.320
<v Speaker 2>attacks of I'm not worthy?

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Why do I have it?

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 2>And other people I feel a more talent to me

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 2>why they don't have it? And I'll be in tears,

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 2>can't breathe, you know, just like what if they find

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>out I'm a fraud that I can't do this? Do

0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I deserve it? Because I don't have the degree that

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:58.880
<v Speaker 2>they have. You know that this came to me. Somebody

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 2>said why I didn't when I used to play Sheila

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:02.839
<v Speaker 2>on the Jamie Fox show.

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>One of this.

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 2>And we're best of friends because we worked together on

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Fox. And somebody came on and they had done

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 2>like a couple of lines. Now I was a recurring

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:16.640
<v Speaker 2>on the show because I made Jamie laugh. He kept

0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:19.240
<v Speaker 2>bringing me back and she was comic and she said

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.879
<v Speaker 2>this to me. She said, girl, you know you good

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.319
<v Speaker 2>on here. But everybody talk and they said, you know,

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 2>you must have slept with Jamie to be on this

0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 2>show like you know, like they're trying to protect me.

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 3>And it hurts feeling so bad because I was like

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 3>I worked for this. I mean, you know you good,

0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 3>but you ain't that good.

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:43.480
<v Speaker 2>And it just really hurt my feelings and I would

0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 2>go to these panic attacks like I don't deserve this

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 2>because there's people funnier than me. Why I'm I on

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 2>the view, it's people who have more knowledge than me.

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:57.720
<v Speaker 2>It just in this season of my life, like maybe

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 2>before the talk show, I realized, you know what, if

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:04.879
<v Speaker 2>God gave you the assignment, it's something that you have

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 2>that he wants to use to touch people and whatever

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 2>he gave, Like when I walk through that, when that

0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 2>door opens and it says, welcome, Cherry Shepherd. After I

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.960
<v Speaker 2>pray where I am weak, you are strong, fresh mercy,

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:22.600
<v Speaker 2>fresh grace, fresh energy, and fresh jokes. I already know,

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 2>walk into what God has already written. And God wrote

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it for this to be Cherry show. And I know

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:34.080
<v Speaker 2>you got to know who you are to crystal everything

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that He's given to you, all of the gifts he's using,

0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and who I am. You could take me off this

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.120
<v Speaker 2>show and you could try to put somebody in my

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:43.359
<v Speaker 2>place who is.

0:37:43.360 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Really good but they're not gonna give you what I

0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.680
<v Speaker 3>give you. We are all unique and.

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Have our own gifting that is so different from somebody else.

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I cannot I watch Taraji and straw love to be

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:00.160
<v Speaker 2>at that level that she is. I gotta do the

0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:02.920
<v Speaker 2>work that girl could hold her head, she'd be every

0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:05.760
<v Speaker 2>time I looked around, she was crying, yes, and laughing

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and crying.

0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 3>And I can't go to the bathroom Tyler start to crying.

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:12.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm on the floor.

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Gotta do a whole hour of storytelling in my mind

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 2>to get the tears. But I said, God is calling

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>to Raji to do what Touraji does, but he's calling

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 2>me to do what nobody can do. I'm the one

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:32.480
<v Speaker 2>that I'll have Tyler on the floor cracking up when

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 2>we talk. I'm the one that he comes to far

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to feel good and be able to let go and laugh.

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what I do trying to be that person. I'm

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 3>not trying to be Oprah. I'm not you know.

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to emulate, but I am myself and I

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.120
<v Speaker 2>think you have to be cool with who God made

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you to be. I don't want anybody other I don't

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 2>want anybody's.

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Path but mine. As if I want to walk in.

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Your shoes, Crystal, I gotta go through what you'd have

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 2>been through, and that may be a little bit.

0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Too overwhelming for me.

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'm gonna definitely tell you if you want

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 2>my blessings.

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 1>What come on? I try to tell people that I'm like,

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 1>be careful what you asked for, careful what you asked for?

0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But I I have Yeah, I definitely therapy. You must

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:20.879
<v Speaker 2>if you are able to get therapy. I think it's

0:39:20.960 --> 0:39:24.080
<v Speaker 2>so important to be able to talk to a person

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 2>who's impartial, who can help you course correct and help

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:31.280
<v Speaker 2>you realize what is it that is blocking that flow?

0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Yes, how do I let go?

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:36.719
<v Speaker 2>How do I you know, I'm definitely I missed my

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:37.840
<v Speaker 2>therapy upoint me yesterday.

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a position.

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Listen. I know I have to stay on top of

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.239
<v Speaker 1>that because it's so important. Thank you for sharing that.

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 2>But you are doing you know what you were doing

0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 2>at the level you're doing it, Chrystal. You have to

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:55.960
<v Speaker 2>be at peace. You have to because you know to

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 2>whom much is given, much is required. Yes, So in

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.040
<v Speaker 2>every nobody has something that they're supposed to do to

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:02.840
<v Speaker 2>change the world.

0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 3>I believe that.

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes there are some people who are out there

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 2>in public and have to deal with a lot of

0:40:09.320 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 2>different things, and for you to be able to deal

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:14.920
<v Speaker 2>with it, it can get overwhelming. Like you're you're a star,

0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:18.400
<v Speaker 2>so that can be so overwhelming. Then you get people

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 2>who just they don't like you because they're scared to

0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 2>try to do what you do. It's a lot of fear,

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:27.880
<v Speaker 2>and that's whe they're coming from. Fear and resentment because

0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 2>they don't have enough courage to step out of their

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 2>comfort zone and do what you do. Ask they don't

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:37.440
<v Speaker 2>have enough, you know, they don't they want to be you,

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:39.719
<v Speaker 2>but they don't want to do the work of what

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:40.479
<v Speaker 2>it takes to be.

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:41.239
<v Speaker 3>It takes to be you.

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:44.799
<v Speaker 2>And so I always also I ask God, show me

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that person the way you see them, because you love everybody,

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:50.480
<v Speaker 2>but show me that person the way you see them.

0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And God shows me a lot people on social media.

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 2>They're hurting, they're you know, they are lonely, they're living

0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 2>vicariously through and they're resentful because they are scared. And

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 2>it gives me a different kind of compassion with like

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even gonna answer you back, I'm not gonna

0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:10.959
<v Speaker 2>get mad, I'm gonna just swipe and delete and pray

0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that God will touch you and give you the courage

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to step out of your comfort zone. Yes, I find

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.760
<v Speaker 2>myself praying for people more. And then it makes me laugh.

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 2>They come in me, you think you cute, that's what

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:26.520
<v Speaker 2>you think you cute? You ain't cute, you ain't And

0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I go, oh, cour God, God bless you, bless them.

0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Yep, that's it. That makes me like, wait what they

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 1>start to feeling. Then they start looking and we're like, wait,

0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>am iver, Yes, you need to stop doing that.

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, I'm gonna just pray for you. If you don't

0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 2>like the show, why you so loud?

0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:47.919

<v Speaker 2>And I said, but go support the other black women

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:01.480
<v Speaker 2>who have a show, because maybe they exactly.

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:06.880
<v Speaker 2>But that's for me and my household. Jeffrey's fine, Jeffrey's laughing.

<v Speaker 1>I ain't thirsty. I know that's right, me and mine.

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Speaking of your son, how do you

0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:33.160
<v Speaker 1>balance motherhood and everything else you have going on? Because

0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I can imagine that's a lot. And you spoke on

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:38.040
<v Speaker 1>him being autistic? How is that managing that?

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I always have to go God, I give you everything.

0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I give you my career, my relationships or a relationship

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:48.840
<v Speaker 2>that I would like to be in. I give you,

0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, Jeffrey, give me back what you want me

0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:55.319
<v Speaker 2>to have. So I've already given it to him, and

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 2>so he gives me that. If I'm not able, I

0:42:57.520 --> 0:43:00.680
<v Speaker 2>say no to a lot of stuff. Movie role come up,

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:03.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's just like, no, I know I can't do that.

0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I've done a talk show all, you know for eight months,

0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 2>these four I got. I cannot go and do a movie,

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, So I have to say no. But I

0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:14.480
<v Speaker 2>know God will give it back to me in some

0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:18.400
<v Speaker 2>other way. So that's my prayer in the mornings. And also,

0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody once told me there's gonna be a lot of

0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:23.839
<v Speaker 2>spinning wheels in your life. Make sure Jeffrey's not one

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:27.880
<v Speaker 2>of them. So he's definitely priority, and if it affects him,

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 2>then I go. My first assignment is.

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:32.240

<v Speaker 1>there because we need to see that, especially in our community.

0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:17.279
<v Speaker 1>There's so many health issues that they need to see

0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>people like us who are on TV in their homes

<v Speaker 1>every day saying oh this is important, Oh let me

0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:24.400

<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. Before we close, you know that

0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:37.879
<v Speaker 1>I also aspire one day to have my own talk show.

0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>What is one thing that you, as an accomplished talk

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:46.560
<v Speaker 1>show host, would give advice to me? Just someone who

0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:47.760
<v Speaker 1>wants to do that one.

0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Day, You're doing it you are doing it, so you

0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:55.000
<v Speaker 2>are preparing yourself so that when that opportunity comes.

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:55.800
<v Speaker 3>You are there.

0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:59.200
<v Speaker 2>You're ready and you're ready to walk into it. It's

0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the faith with out works is dead, so you are

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:05.280
<v Speaker 2>operating in it now. You said for me, I couldn't

0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:07.280
<v Speaker 2>get a talk show, and somebody says, start a podcast.

0:48:07.480 --> 0:48:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Stop asking for permission to get a talk show from them.

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.839
<v Speaker 2>And I started a podcast to NAACP Image Awards later

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and then the talk show came. So I slipped out

0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:20.319
<v Speaker 2>on faith and did my own thing.

0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:22.759
<v Speaker 3>That is how you do it.

0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:24.879
<v Speaker 2>The advice I will give you, keep doing what you're

0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:28.400
<v Speaker 2>doing and show people what you do, and that person

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:32.439
<v Speaker 2>is going to so that you feel completely prepared when

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:33.959
<v Speaker 2>that opportunity comes, because it will.

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, thank you so much, all right, girl, it was

0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:41.760
<v Speaker 1>an honor. I'm telling you, I haven't. I had Tyler

0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:44.200
<v Speaker 1>on this couch and I wasn't as nervous as when

0:48:44.200 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was interviewing you today. I said, girl Shepherd,

0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:48.200

<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was behind the mark or I

0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:31.440
<v Speaker 1>was late to the party. But what I realized as

0:49:31.480 --> 0:49:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I gained footing and living out my passion and my

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 1>dreams was that I was right on time and everything

0:49:37.160 --> 0:49:39.560
