<v Speaker 2>It's sad to be here saying you are so talented,

<v Speaker 2>beautiful as ever. I remember when we were casting for

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Zatima and you were already on All the Queen's Band.

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>We were trying to figure out who Fateama's best friend.

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Was gonna be, and Tyler was like, I have the

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>per person. I was like who, and he goes in Zingamani.

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And at that point I didn't know who you were personally,

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 2>and I was like who, Because I was like, let

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>me see her Instagram. I was like, oh, I do

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>know her from Instagram. I was very familiar with you

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>from Instagram, but it had never met you personally. And

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 2>I was so happy when we got to work together

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and you were just a delight because you just never know,

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>like you just never know what you're gonna get With actors,

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, you got all different types of personalities and

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 2>different methods that people use to get into character, and

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>as a cast made those are things you had to

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 2>adapt to. So I was really happy when you were

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>super cool and easy going.

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Y'all. Our rooms are probably like two or three rooms apart.

<v Speaker 2>On Actors Row, and I'll yelled down the hall, zizang.

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:44.840

<v Speaker 2>So thank you so much for thank you.

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say.

<v Speaker 4>But y'all may not notice, but the hurt and devout

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 4>lead us as a cast.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like no other.

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 4>They take the reins and really make sure that we're

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 4>already prepared, and it has been like a crash course

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 4>and just like how to be how to prepare.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 3>It's amazing. I appreciate y'all a lot.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course, of course, speaking of crash course and this

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 2>whole new TPS world for you, But you've been You've

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 2>been acting and doing your thing. How was that adjustment

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>like coming into our world and be like, oh, over here.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean I heard like stories and things of like

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 4>how quickly we work and things like that, but it's

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 4>nothing like being on it. But because I had that

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 4>brief experience on All the Queens Men, I had an idea,

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 4>but we were in the bubble during the.

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Time we found that, so it was like summer camp.

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 4>There was nothing like being on TPS set. I loved it,

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Like I couldn't wait to go back. So to get

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 4>that call and then to have been working for ten

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 4>plus years in this industry and having the hardest time

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 4>breaking into TV because I'm a theater music all of that,

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 4>but having the hardest time breaking into the industry, and

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 4>then from one scene on All the Queen's Men being

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, being able to audition for a series regular

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 4>on Zatima was like, oh, wow, you know it.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Goes from Zatima two Sisters. Yes, how is that? Like

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just like boom boom boom.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 4>That when it rains, it pours, and it's like I

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 4>was so grateful for the preparation that I had leading

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 4>up to that because it happens just like that. You know,

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 4>you're waiting, waiting, waiting, and you're you're waiting for an opportunity,

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 4>and then when it happens, all these other doors open.

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:30.679
<v Speaker 3>So I'm so grateful.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about that, that waiting, waiting, waiting season,

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 2>because so many times when we do, like when it happens,

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that's all the people see. They're just like, where does

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>she come from? This happened overnight, and no it did not.

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>So I want let's dive into that because a lot

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>of people. I think people are inspired by the waiting

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 2>season to know that they're not alone.

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, for sure. I mean I did everything. I

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>did everything. I just wanted to be in the room.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 4>And then I've always been an artist, whether that's painting,

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 4>whether that's singing, whether that's acting. I've always just been

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 4>in the arts. So I guess it all kind of started.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 4>I was in school for theater, that was my major,

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 4>and part of our extracurriculars were stage makeup.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I've always been a painter, so I was.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 4>Naturally really good at stage makeup, but my professors were like, girl,

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 4>you need to do that. My younger sister is a

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 4>professional model and she was like them, makeup artist get paid,

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 4>and as a struggling artist, I needed to find a

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 4>way to have a flexible schedule and you know, do

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 4>what I love and be on the sets and everything.

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 4>So it started there while I was doing makeup.

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Actually I did Danielle's headshot for our teama, So they're

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 3>in full circle. Like, I run into so many people

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 3>working now where.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 4>It's like, you did my makeup for ranchise and stuff

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 4>like that, So it's beautiful to see the relationships and

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 4>how they grow, how people keep me in mind for

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 4>different opportunities. But from that to I mean, I was

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 4>a preschool teacher. I was doing anything from a pre school. Yeah,

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 4>I love the kids. I love the kid Missy, that's

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 4>the teacher you want. The parents were fighting to get

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 4>their kids in my class, like honestly, because I you know,

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 4>especially three year olds.

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I was a preschool teacher.

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 4>So I mean I had them kids singing songs like

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 4>we were singing Annie in the in the playgrounds and stuff.

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>We had the greatest time. But unfortunately teaching does not

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 3>pay the bills like it should.

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I was living with my mom at the

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 4>time that I was a full time teacher and struggling still,

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 4>so I knew I had to do something else, not

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 4>to mention the the parents and even like the grandparents

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 4>would be like her, what you doing here?

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 3>You be doing something else?

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 4>Were like this, but there's something and I was grateful

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 4>for that because sometimes we get complacent, especially when we're

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, when we're enjoying something. But I did a

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 4>little extra work on Black Panther during the time that

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 4>I was teaching. After I got back, I knew, I

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 4>like putting my resignation out, like I have to pursue

0:07:54.560 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 4>this fully. Don't get me Lye two thousand around twenty

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 4>fifteen somewhere in that that's crazy.

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>That was the year my life shifted beautiful and from

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>costuming to being Tyler's stylist and costume design. That was

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a shifting year for me, and I think that was

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I turned thirty three that year, so that's

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 2>my Jesus year. There's a lot of things happening in

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that year, doesn't say so. Twenty fifteen was the year

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>that you were like, this is what I'm going after.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I love that. And then from that moment to twenty twenty.

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I mean so much. I was doing a lot

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 4>of indie films. I was trying to get my foot

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 4>in the door. However, I could you know the parodies.

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>If you guys don't know, I did a lot of

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 3>musical parodies with Queen of the Ratchet. I mean, I

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 3>was super thankful.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 4>For that because it was just create, don't wait, you

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 4>know what I mean? And if I yes, create, don't wait,

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 4>because if I was waiting for someone else to give

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 4>me the opportunity and not putting that content out there,

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 4>then when you when Tyler told you in Zin Gay Mini,

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 4>you would have been like, who is that?

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>And what do I see?

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 4>I had, you know, I was able to build up

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 4>a a audience and engagement from just putting out my

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 4>own content to the point where I was recognizable and

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, people if people were like, I.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't know if she can do TV, but it's like, well.

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>If she can do this, and she can do it,

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 2>yeah chance the power of social media, Yeah you can

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 2>literally like even YouTube, like the world is your oyster.

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.959
<v Speaker 2>You can do anything if you have a camera and

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a tripod or a few friends that.

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Work with a phone.

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, if you have a phone, some time and the

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 4>confidence to put it up black people see it, You

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 4>never know what kind of door is at the open.

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Was there any point, because you talked about you got

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 2>all the no's, was there any point in your journey

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 2>where you may have had like doubt or like did

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I really choose the right thing, or where you had

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>any like self image issues where you were like dam

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>because I know for me, this industry is so vain

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 2>and there's times where I like, I just don't there's

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>times I didn't feel my best self. Did you ever

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>have moments like that?

0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 3>In ways?

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 4>Especially being plus, I feel like you're oftentimes pigeon held

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Like you know, there's so many situations where people are

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 4>just like, I don't know if she'll fit for the lead,

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.079
<v Speaker 4>or I don't know if if she would be a

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 4>like a love interest that people will would believe. But

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 4>it's like why not?

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Why would you know?

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Like people love me in real life, so why couldn't

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 4>they love me online or in the movie. So yeah,

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 4>I definitely felt held back, felt like there were a

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 4>lot of perceived notions about what kind of parts I

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 4>could play and things like that. But doing the Queen

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 4>of the Ratchet and developing my plus size modeling career

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 4>and all of those things that I did outside, definitely,

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 4>I think opened up people's minds absolutely, not to mention

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 4>that seen in All the Queens Man, which opened up.

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Talks Man, which opened up a lot of very ideas too.

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was like, what did you say about this?

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, I avoided my mom for like a week.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 4>I just I didn't answer, I didn't pick up calls,

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 4>and I tried to warn her because she got she

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 4>got real happy, started telling people I was gonna be

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 4>on TV, and I said.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Wait a minute, yeah, my grandma saw that.

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 4>I didn't nobody tell you to tell grandma, But what

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 4>happened happened, and honestly, surprisingly her reaction was a lot

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 4>more supportive than I thought it would be.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that amazing? The same way when it comes to

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>my roles and the things that the team of season one,

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>it was at the shower, No, that was like across

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 2>the bed head hanging out.

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh that, yes, yeah, I remember that.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't even look at that. Yeah. Like cut it

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 2>went from like it was such a quick cut, it

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>was like fame. I was like, yeah, I was like,

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I said, Dad, I said, just don't watch the first

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 2>like five minutes of the.

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Show, but they got to watch.

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't want to ask you, well.

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 3>My sister still won't watch, so I get it. I

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 3>get it. She's like, I can't even see you like that.

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I turn it off.

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I mean she was kind of just like, well,

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 4>it was shocked very well. Yes, she didn't want to

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 4>get me too many about it. I mean, especially because

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't a romantic scene, but it felt romantic. So

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 4>I was super grateful to that because, I mean, the

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 4>the situation is not romantic, that they're not a couple,

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's.

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Even just to shoot the situation like in real life,

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 2>like as you're filming it in a room around strangers.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not romantic.

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 4>It's had all the extras by the pool right.

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Right, And it was freezing. What y'all don't know.

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 4>That was shot in December and we were outside of

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 4>Tandy's house in the little gondola or whatever it was.

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 3>It was freezing.

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Even when we film season one of his team, it

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 2>was like December.

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. I think I got sick right after that, although.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 4>I prefer that was when you hit cam in their

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 4>foot like.

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>He was in the human jeds were in the jacuzzie freezing.

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I had to keep running out from upstairs down the

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>deck barefoot in that wet, rainy, cold brass. Two days later,

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I was like.

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 4>But I gotta say, I prefer that over when we

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 4>have to shoot in the heat, because we done melt

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 4>it on camera before.

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, y'all have me some extra drawers, some

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 2>extra spanks everything that.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>What the hair is gone? It's really like, what are

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 3>we doing?

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 2>It's just like hot, and then you got to turn

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the air condition off because of the sound and like

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>turning thing out, so we're just in there baking.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I prefer to cold. What we deal with,

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 3>we deal with so much.

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 1>We make it look good, Yeah, we do.

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 4>We stay in it even when we're melting and the

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 4>makeup is dripping down our mouth.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Because that was in the parking lot that y'all see

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 3>that seat in the parking lot.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes, my hair went from I said, okays, be shooting

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 4>for winter in the middle of summer.

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh my gosh.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Then you got on all the clothes plus side.

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those garage scenes during the summertime, it's just smoldering hot.

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I just and I get hot fast, so I'll.

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Be like under all that hair.

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Too much. Looking back, we're on season three, Season three,

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 2>just wrapped as a team. Looking back, what was one

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.559
<v Speaker 2>of your favorite moments filming?

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Ooh hmm, I wish that I had, like, oh, oh, well,

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 4>that's not season three.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Let me let me.

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Care myself.

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Is that right? No, that hasn't aired yet.

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 4>I will probably still say the season one when we're

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 4>when the whole thing happens, we're Zach and Danielle's character me,

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 4>and we were all kind of there together and.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>We aller yes, yes, oh my god.

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 3>That was intent and it was fun.

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like that was the first time we

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 4>were all because everything happened so fast.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 3>It was the first time we really were all.

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 4>In the scene together acting And so that just stays

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 4>in my in the front of my mind.

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 3>What about you?

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.360

<v Speaker 2>sure of herself, or she's struggling. Maybe she's from a

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>small town like I was, or she's from a place

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 2>where her parents don't really accept it. Like you don't

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>need to go to get an education, go get you

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a good job. But she's a dreamer. What would you

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 2>tell her?

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 4>Girl do it anyway. You're not living for them, You're

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 4>living for you. And if you want anyone else to

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 4>believe it, you have to believe it first.

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, ooh, I can't tell you.

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 4>Even though my mom supported me doing plays and doing

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 4>all these things, I think in the back of her mind,

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 4>especially because I was super good in school, like I

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 4>was in.

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 3>All the higher education classes everything like that.

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, really she expected me to be working for

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 4>NASA or something like that. So for me to take

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 4>this other, this other path, wasn't shocking some all cause

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, she's Caribbean background. You know, we believe in

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 4>that stability, that whole art thing. She was like, that's

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 4>good to keep you well rounded, but you need something serious.

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 4>So my mom actually found out that I changed my

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 4>major at a play. I remember she came up to me.

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 4>I did the big finale number. Everybody's coming up to

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.160
<v Speaker 4>me congratulating me. She's walking up to me with the brochure, like.

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 3>What is this.

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean, ma'am? She' like a major in

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 3>fine arson theater. Girl be for real.

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 4>So so I didn't have support and when it came

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 4>to pursuing it fully.

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.120
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, she was the one who

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 3>had me.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 4>In those plays, who had me in the choir, who

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 4>made sure that I touched into my art side.

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.199
<v Speaker 3>So I really feel like, you know, she was giving me,

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 3>but she.

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Was still scared. And I'm glad that I didn't have

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 4>that fear. And that's why I feel like that's the

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 4>most important thing. You have to believe at first. You

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 4>have to give it your all because it won't happen

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 4>if you're halfway doing it. You have to believe in

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.440
<v Speaker 4>and you have to pursue it. You have to take

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 4>the sacrifice. Because there was time when I dropped that

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 4>school and was pursuing acting and doing theater and makeup

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:06.880
<v Speaker 4>and everything where.

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 3>I was struggling real bad.

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's star struggle real bad.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 4>But I mean ubering, sleeping in my car, just uber

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 4>like a drug bird. Yes, until I was about to

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 4>fall asleep, I was terrified. And don't recommend, because there

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 4>were a few times that something could have definitely happened.

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 4>There were a few times that I had to speed

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 4>off in situations Oh my goodness, I do not recommend. However,

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 4>at the time it was necessary, and like literally i'd

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 4>been driving home too sleepy to make it. I'll pull

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 4>up into a Walmart or a McDonald's, something that's open

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 4>twenty four hours and try to nap. But that was

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.679
<v Speaker 4>the grind I mean, And you know, in retrospect, I

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 4>thank the Lord every day because things could have ended

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 4>much differently. But it was necessary for me to maintain

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 4>while I pursued what I was pursuing. So still grateful.

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 3>You know. It definitely keeps me humble, It keeps me yeah,

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:58.120
<v Speaker 3>because I'm.

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 4>Like, yeah, you know, at any moment, if anything didn't

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 4>pan out, if any opportunity didn't present, I might not

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.679
<v Speaker 4>be where I am today. Yeah, would then I might

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 4>not feel the same way about that struggle. But m gratefully,

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 4>I can feel great about the struggle because it led

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.000
<v Speaker 4>to where I am now.

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 2>In the souse. I love it. I love that for me.

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I went through a similar phase of my life where

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like really struggling trying to figure it out.

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I just moved to Atlanta and it was like, alright,

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I gotta figure it out.

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I was working j a job, my the job, first

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 2>job I had I was literally making like I think

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.479
<v Speaker 2>it was like three hundred dollars a week. Mm, so

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.400
<v Speaker 2>it was like t twelve hundred dollars a month before taxes,

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Like it was not a lot of money. Yeah. So

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 2>like talking about like scrounging for change in the cup holds,

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you went.

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Back to the day all the change went into the

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 1>cup holder. I don't really see change much nowadays.

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know what I'm saying, really, cause people don't

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 5>really carry cars, like everything on our phone.

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like so like it I had, it was changed

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>it way. So I was really trying to count the

0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 2>quarters and like, can I get.

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>A a double cheeseburger?

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, fries?

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:03.639
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying the dollar meaning you're just

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to make a meal.

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Literally out of two cents.

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And I remember those moments, and I think that's

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 2>something that always teaches me grounded now that I have

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 2>made it, but I'm grateful for those moments where you

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 2>have to struggle and grind because I feel like if

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 2>you don't go through that, you're not gonna appreciate it.

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 2>When yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna appreciate it.

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Even speaking of like that that long time struggle, if

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 4>I had gotten the opportunities.

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Any earlier, I might not have known how to manage it.

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely.

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 4>I think about the relationships I was in the mind

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 4>for financing and the things that I would have been

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 4>splurging money on then versus you know, even just a

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 4>year later, and I'm so grateful that happened when it did.

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, who knows what.

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Could have happened or who I would have not been

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 4>able to see for who they are because I have

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 4>this new level of success.

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 3>And there, you know.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 4>So it's a lot of things that saved me having

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:58.640
<v Speaker 4>that long ten year wait.

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Come on, God know, like he it's all in his

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 2>perfect timing. That's what I always say, because if things

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 2>had happened before they're supposed to, we would have blew it. Yeah,

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 2>we really would have. Us You are one of the

<v Speaker 1>I know your mom just sit back and be like

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I did this.

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:21.000

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:28.679
<v Speaker 2>But you're like you're beautiful, You're confident when it comes

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to love life. Let's talk about it, Okay, girl, have

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.439
<v Speaker 2>you always been confident and known your worth because you

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.480
<v Speaker 2>walk in like with so much confidence and self worth

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>or is that something that you struggled at points or

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 2>have you always been like, I know I'm dead girl.

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 4>It's hard to say because I feel like it's both,

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 4>like I've never doubted that I'm that girl, but things

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 4>things show up, you know, Like you know, my father

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 4>wasn't around when we were growing up, and so you know,

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 4>there's abandonment issues on that side.

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 3>There's trust issues when it comes to men.

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, my mom didn't really date when we were

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 4>growing up for different reasons, but mainly because she had

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 4>three young girls and she wanted to keep us safe

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.879
<v Speaker 4>and protected. So you know, there's reactions that I have

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 4>to that as well, where you know, I may not

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 4>want to be alone, so I may stick it out

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 4>with somebody longer than I should, even when I see

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 4>the signs and things like that. So it's definitely up

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 4>and down. I think, just in dating and living and growing,

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 4>you learn things.

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, when I.

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Got Zatima, I was in a relationship with someone who

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 4>I had, you know, sacrificed so much for and really

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.159
<v Speaker 4>felt like they were gonna be rooted for me and

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 4>that showed me that they were not and that they

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.199
<v Speaker 4>were a bit jealous of me and that you know,

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 4>and it manifested in different ways and it let me

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 4>know I had to get about it. I remember after

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 4>we finished wrapping the dinner that you and Developed hosted.

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 4>I came to that late and I was flustered because

0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 4>we had just got into it and I felt like

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.120
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't in my best moment, but I was pushing through.

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 3>There were so many things, but so many.

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 4>Great moments of my life were being kind of like

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 4>watered down because this person and their energy or how

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 4>they felt or their insecurities were attacking me. But I

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 4>also was like, well, this person has been with me.

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I should stick it out. Don't girl save yourself?

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, if I could go back and talk to her,

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 4>be like, girl, save yourself. Because because there was a

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 4>lot of you know, just self reflection that had to

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 4>happen after especially just being alone stepping out of it

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 4>where it's like, man, how long did that person hate Mercky?

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, because you started to look back and you're like, wait,

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 2>a man.

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, man, that thing that they said two years prior

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 4>that didn't really register.

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 3>But then when you look at.

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 4>The whole thing, it's like, oh wow, Nah, it's been

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 4>a while of just not realizing it. And in the moment,

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 4>I didn't think of it as like a lacking or

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, what was going on with me why I

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 4>would choose someone like this, But then when you look

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.400
<v Speaker 4>back at it again, it's like, well, what did you

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:02.639
<v Speaker 4>let slide? What things did you let you know happen

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.959
<v Speaker 4>that you didn't address or that you didn't stand Firman

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 4>that allowed that to happen.

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm still figuring it out, you know, I feel.

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 4>Like it's ever growing, you know, not to mention those

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 4>family wounds, you know, even I love my mother dearly,

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 4>but there was a lot of trauma that happened within

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 4>our relationship as well that made me very real.

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.200
<v Speaker 3>And I'm a middle child, so if y'all know about oh.

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 4>So, if you know anything about the middle children, I

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 4>feel like I was so independent that I was left

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.479
<v Speaker 4>alone a lot. I was just kind of like, it

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.439
<v Speaker 4>was like Finn for yourself And then I'm like, but

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, but that's not how you treat this child

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 4>to that child, So it makes you question yourself in

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 4>that regard too. So it was a lot of self

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 4>discovery that it is still happening. You know, I'm still

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 4>figuring out why I do things, why I say things.

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 3>I could be very snappy, especially in romantic relationships there.

0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know I learned and that recently and I'm

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 4>grateful for it. Although it was just kind of like, oh, okay,

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.239
<v Speaker 4>maybe maybe the when I say something and I mean

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 4>it as a joke, not everyone.

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.919
<v Speaker 3>Perceives it that way, so be more careful, you know.

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 4>So learning myself in these different seasons has been big,

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 4>but I'm grateful for it for sure.

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 2>At what moment did you realize wait a minute, like,

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm I had these issues from my childhood that are

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 2>pouring into my adulthood. And was there a moone where

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 2>You're like, I need therapy. Are you in the therapy

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 2>or has it just been more of like a I

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.479
<v Speaker 2>got this on my own type of thing and just

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 2>constantly evolving.

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 3>In full transparency.

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I wasn't even planning on going on here, but

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 4>it reminded me of the first time that I really

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 4>thought about therapy. I was auditioning for a dating show

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 4>of some sort, and when we during the process, I

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 4>was getting through like easy. They were loving me. Then

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 4>we had to do a kind of sit down with

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 4>a therapist before we moved onto the next round, and.

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 3>I unloaded on her.

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And also the fact that they did not call

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 4>me back today's show after It's like, yeah, they were like,

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 4>because this could be a liability. This was years ago,

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 4>but I think that was the first time that I

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 4>was like, this is something that I need to look

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 4>into and also just realize, like there are things that

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 4>I need to reflect in to my reflect on within myself,

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, transparency.

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 3>I have not done therapy, but I would like to.

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just kind.

0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 4>Of like figuring out who to trust, who to talk to,

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:41.120
<v Speaker 4>how to approach that, which is not an excuse because

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I've figured out so much improvement on

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 4>myself in other ways where I'm just putting that to

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 4>the back burner and back burner. Not to mention, my

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 4>family is not super supportive with that, like speaking of my.

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Mom, like, you're not crazy, What do you mean you

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 3>need to go to therapy? That's what she thinks.

0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 4>And it's like I know that that's not a legitimate,

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 4>but I do think that those things are still in

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:02.920
<v Speaker 4>the back of my head.

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I need to work on that and I

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 3>want to look into that.

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I got you. No, seriously, remember my first litter show,

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I brought my therapist out. Absolutely love her, but it

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't until like you said, find the right person, finding

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 2>somebody you can trust. For me, it was the first

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 2>one I did therapy, I wasn't honest with the person

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 2>because I didn't really trust them. So I'm like, this

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 2>ain't working. Yeah, Like I literally was like, this isn't working.

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>And then I.

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Got Delana, and I was like, just be honest if

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you want this where you have to just tell her

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:33.760
<v Speaker 2>everything and trust that and pray that she's not gonna

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 2>tell anybody. Yeah, your business. But finding I feel like

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:39.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like dating. You know. I'm saying, you gotta f

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.439
<v Speaker 2>like talk to and feel the bus if you if

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 2>you're ready to open up to 'em. But it's not

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 2>like you hire one person and you gotta stick with them.

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you know. So I would just like take your

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:50.919
<v Speaker 2>time and just feel people out and see who you

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 2>like and who you mess with, cause it can like

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>this is the person you really had to confide in

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 2>everything with if you really wanna get the help you want.

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.800
<v Speaker 2>And for me, it's like that's of realization because we're

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:04.880
<v Speaker 2>thinking we're working on ourselves until you really start to unload,

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 2>like you said, and you're like, oh, I got a

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of work to do.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah. It's like, oh yeah, yeah.

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 4>I told her about some situations that you know, I

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 4>wasn't proud of, but I also felt like I was justified.

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, ran into that night ten times.

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 4>No, it wasn't it wasn't that extreme, but it was

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 4>kind of like, you know, I was battling within myself,

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 4>and relationships will bring that out of you, especially when

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 4>people are not genuine on their side or they're doing their.

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Own thing and then they want you to be uh huh.

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, So, since you've gained success in acting, I know

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 5>that something that can be challenging for us women is

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 5>dating and find the man that is confident and what

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 5>you do and knowing that you may have sex scenes

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 5>or love scenes with another person and that you have

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 5>to kiss them.

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Have you had issues since you started acting where I

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 2>was like with that and.

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 4>You're absolutely, yeah, and it's it's difficult, but it also like,

0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 4>this is what I do, and.

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 3>That's a hard.

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Conversation to have, especially when you like if we're already

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:17.959
<v Speaker 4>in a relationship, We're already talking, We're serious. It's like,

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 4>how are you all of a sudden upset with this?

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 4>Like you didn't already see all the Queen's Men?

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 3>You know that actually really happened. Yeah, me and my

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 3>guy I have.

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:30.719
<v Speaker 4>Been together for a while, like over a year, and

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 4>then his mom kind of brought him, brought the episode

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 4>to him, and I think that's why it shifted, because

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 4>he probably.

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Didn't really care, but when the mom said, I.

0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Don't think he cared, especially because we've there have been

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 4>different times when we're at comedy shows and I don't

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 4>know why, but every comedian has seen that scene because

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 4>they always stopped the show'd like I know you, and

0:29:54.360 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 4>then they typically harp on it for quite some time. Yeah,

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I can laugh it off because I'm

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 4>in this industry and I'm used to it and I'm like, okay, listen,

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 4>But with him sitting there next to me, it's kind

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 4>of like you're still talking about sex.

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and what is he supposed to do? Because it's like,

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm I'm an actress.

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:18.600
<v Speaker 4>It supports that he's always been super supportive of that,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 4>but at the same time, It's like, how am I

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 4>supposed to feel sitting here? And I'm like, well, what

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 4>am I supposed to do sitting here? I don't know

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 4>who either, so that can be difficult. But yeah, when

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 4>his mom brought it to him, I think it just

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 4>hit him that, like, anyone has access to this. My

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 4>mom has seen it. That means my cousins have seen it.

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 4>That can mean anyone can see it. And I can

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 4>understand how that can hit him. But it's also like,

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 4>this is what I do, so let me know now

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 4>what it's gonna be. We don't put this much time

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 4>into it. Let me know if we should put it anymore,

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 4>because those opportunities are going to continue to happen.

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 3>And I don't intend on saying no.

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 4>If it's relevant to the scene, I might not go

0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 4>as graphic as that was. But I once again, I

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 4>was also my first time being on TV, so I

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 4>was I.

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I was open. I was like, do.

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 2>You feel like you're as open now or do you

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>cause me, I have like very firm boundaries on what

0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll show, what I'll do. Are you still like something?

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Acts are like no this, I'm not gonna say no

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 2>to anything.

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm good.

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, I'll say no to things, would you say,

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean if that same situation presented. I don't know

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 4>if I would necessarily do it now, but I w

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, but still close to it, especially if it's

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 4>relevant to a love scene or a love interest or

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 4>something like that.

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 3>But that I mean, we were just one often tag

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 3>team in over there, so that it was different. But

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 3>once again, it was shot beautifully, so I'm not mad

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 3>at it, but.

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I just feel like it all it's

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 4>it's situational, but I do still want to be respectful.

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 4>I know at that time I hadn't done anything, so

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I was kind of open not to mention.

0:31:59.920 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 3>It was in the midst of the pandemic, and it was.

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 4>The biggest I had ever been, like, size wise, I

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 4>was the biggest I've ever been.

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, nothing, but it was so liberating for it.

0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 4>To be like here I am in my full splendor,

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 4>like because this is what it is.

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 3>There's no like we have sex. We you know, plus

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 3>size people are intimate and things like that.

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 4>So to be able to show that and see that

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 4>and feel confident with the end result was a big thing.

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 3>So I'm happy, very.

0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:32.959
<v Speaker 4>Happy with that scene. But moving forward, I do want

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 4>to draw boundaries.

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 4>I am mindful that I want to have children, you know,

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 4>I want to be married, and I don't want anyone

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 4>to be able to hop on Twitter.

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 3>And find the right.

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 4>So I'm still figuring it out, especially as opportunity like

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 4>seems worth it or like it's relevant to the story.

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I.

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Feel yeah, I understand it, cause that's that's something I act.

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Actually had an audition for.

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>It was a R It was R really bad.

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It was a rape scene, m but it was a

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 2>true story. So in my mind as an artist, I'm like, okay,

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 2>like the sh they weren't shooting the actual rape. It

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 2>was more so the aftermath of it, but like everybody

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:22.400
<v Speaker 2>knew what had happened. And I was like second up

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 2>for that part and didn't end up getting a role.

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 2>But when I auditioned for it, I had to call

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:27.959
<v Speaker 2>my dad and I was like, listen. I was like,

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>how do you feel about this? You know, cause I

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 2>was thinking about my parents and like what they have

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 2>to go through if you even say if I play

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:35.719
<v Speaker 2>certain roles or do certain things. And he was like,

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you're acting. He was like, that was a true story.

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>It happens.

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>And you're shedding light on something happened. So it changed

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>my perspective on certain things. But then also when it

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 2>came to like me setting my own personal boundary because

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:48.719
<v Speaker 2>they can if I have children one day, yeah, what

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 2>are they gonna see?

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 2>And this Internet is like it's forever, like once it's

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>out there and it just like goes from one place

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to the next and like before you know it, like

0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 2>it's everywhere.

0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and out of context, it can be very scary, ma'am.

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very very scary. Yeah, yeah, you know. We this

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 2>is a a safe space. And we also loved Jesus

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 2>over here at the Hugh of Hot City show. Has

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it ever moments where your faith has been stretched or

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:17.280
<v Speaker 2>moments where you really had to lean on your faith

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:19.839
<v Speaker 2>through this whole journey of life?

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely? Well.

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Growing up, I was heavy in church. I'm talking like

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 4>praise team leader, all types.

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 3>I was.

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.399
<v Speaker 4>I was in church five out of the seven days

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 4>a week, like, and I'm super happy to be there.

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:35.839
<v Speaker 3>The thing that kind of shook me was like.

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:43.280
<v Speaker 4>I was preparing to go to London for study abroad

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 4>and I was working my butt off to raise the

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:50.240
<v Speaker 4>money for that, and it was about a few days

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 4>past the am not past, but uh until the final

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 4>the payment was due. Yeah, I was only like two

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 4>hundred dollars away from my goal. And I was at

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 4>church and the pastor did a whole sermon about you know,

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 4>you ask not cause y y, you have not cause

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 4>you ask not, and you know, leaning on one another and.

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 3>All of these things.

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 4>And I have been going to that church since I

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 4>was I was baptized there, I was been there forever.

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:16.359
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, and you know whole family, my sister's in dance. Well,

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, everybody's really deep into the church. So I'm like, okay,

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 4>this is my sign. So after I to have a

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 4>meeting with the pastor and we go into the room

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:26.520
<v Speaker 4>and I I kind of tell her what's going on,

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 4>and she's like, I'm going on vacation.

0:35:29.960 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know what to tell.

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 1>You after she just preached it.

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I felt like someone shot me in the heart.

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.440
<v Speaker 4>I remember sitting in the in the parking lot, uh,

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 4>in the car, crying like I could not breathe. I

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 4>was hyperventilating, not only because I had worked so hard

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 4>to raise all of this money, but because I wa

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 4>It was like I the veil was pulled back.

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 3>From who she was. This is someone I admired my

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.280
<v Speaker 3>entire life, and then this.

0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:56.200
<v Speaker 4>Is how you act, this is how you like. Even

0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:58.919
<v Speaker 4>if you couldn't do it, that's fine. But the way

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 4>that she said it was just like who are you?

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:03.399
<v Speaker 4>And it made me question everything and made me step

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:07.319
<v Speaker 4>away from that church. And it took a while to

0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 4>start going back to church again. And then when I

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 4>did it, I was dating one of the pastes at

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 4>the church and he bring yes, honey, they was they

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:20.840
<v Speaker 4>were calling me first ladies from that.

0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:25.920
<v Speaker 2>First lady, first lad I'm sorry.

0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:27.800
<v Speaker 3>He was a prechurch to the church, not the pastor.

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I shouldn't specify that. I learned after.

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:33.840
<v Speaker 4>A few years into this, not a few years, a

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:36.760
<v Speaker 4>few months in this relationship, that he was having relations

0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:42.160
<v Speaker 4>with people all up and through this church. Yeah, past,

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 4>present and future. Yeah, because so that was another hit

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 4>that just was like you are not who you say.

0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 3>And not only that, but he prayed on me.

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 4>Because he he he sought me after it a low time.

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 4>The way he used the word and everything to manipulate

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:01.400
<v Speaker 4>me into that relationship, it was a it was very calculated,

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 4>of course in retrospect, right, Yeah, So that was another

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.480
<v Speaker 4>time where but I had to just be like, once again,

0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:13.440
<v Speaker 4>somebody who acts so holy is the opposite, and it's

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:15.480
<v Speaker 4>like the worst kind of person that you can be.

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 3>And that really hit me as well.

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 4>And I think to this day, I'm still struggling when

0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 4>it comes to church and the people to trust in church,

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 4>because I mean.

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:27.040
<v Speaker 3>I still love the Lord.

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.359
<v Speaker 4>But even now, I was on a I don't want

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 4>to say a tour, but I was trying out different churches.

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that went to change and I loved it there.

0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:39.960
<v Speaker 3>It was just a long drive, but said you come.

0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Here, Yeah, for sure, trick.

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 4>But even that became awkward because you know, our our

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:52.160
<v Speaker 4>fan base is is church goers. So going to church

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:54.480
<v Speaker 4>and knowing that in the midst of my praise and

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 4>worship that this person might be filming me or you know,

0:37:57.480 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 4>I went to a funeral and someone was asking to

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:00.040
<v Speaker 4>take pictures with me.

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:04.000
<v Speaker 3>And things like that, and it's like, it's yes, I

0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 3>want to be able to be vulnerable. I want to

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 3>be able to drop.

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 4>Someone knees and cry when I feel like it, But

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.160
<v Speaker 4>to know that someone is constantly watching you, it's like,

0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 4>how can you enjoy that experience?

0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:17.680
<v Speaker 2>So that happened to me too, and like I actually

0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 2>had to talk about it because people were coming up

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 2>to me after church like wanting to hug and like

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 2>talk and ask for pictures, and I just feel like

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:27.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a time and a place for everything. And then

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:30.840
<v Speaker 2>finding out that people were driving hours to come to

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 2>church on Sunday and hopes to meet me. You need

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:36.040
<v Speaker 2>to be going to meet Jesus. Yeah, not Chrystal Renee Hazlet.

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 2>And I had to like publicly spe publicly speak about

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 2>that because it is disturbing when you're in f I

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 2>literally was in full lunteers one Sunday, church had like

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 2>let out, but we were still doing praise and worship

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and the spirit was just moving and I was just

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.800
<v Speaker 2>crying and praising God, and somebody literally came and tapped

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:53.920
<v Speaker 2>me on the shoulder.

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 1>In the midst of it, and I was like.

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 3>What, Yeah, like what.

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:05.799
<v Speaker 2>In what world? You know? And then not too long ago,

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 2>praise and worship and like a guy turns around and

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:10.160
<v Speaker 2>it was like you know how they turned it, and

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 2>then they were like shoot, and then before you know it,

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 2>they're like holding their funnel like we're at a concert,

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:16.359
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like I literally just turned it, like turn

0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:19.279
<v Speaker 2>my back, so like you can't feel me. I'm like

0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 2>like read the room back, you know what I'm saying.

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 4>Like, but people feel like you don't have those boundaries

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 4>when you're known, and that's that's something that really disturbs

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 4>me because I hear how people talk about.

0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, what they would rude when I met them? Well,

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 3>w how did you meet them? What were they doing?

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:37.880
<v Speaker 4>Because they don't owe you their time like that, Like,

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, I appreciate the support, but there's a time

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 4>and a place, and there's certain times that absolutely no.

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 4>I was at a close friend's funeral and you want

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:51.799
<v Speaker 4>to take pictures? Why Yeah, why why is that even

0:39:51.840 --> 0:39:53.880
<v Speaker 4>where your mind is at when you're at the same funeral.

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 2>We should be thinking about this person we just lost.

0:39:56.440 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so a lot of different but that but once again,

0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 3>that's church, that's not just one part of it.

0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:07.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I definitely feel like that was a major

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 4>part for me though, especially the wave that I was raised.

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:13.320
<v Speaker 4>It's the part that I miss dearly and I hope

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:17.280
<v Speaker 4>to get back to. But but you know, I stand

0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:20.799
<v Speaker 4>from my faith still. I still you know, pray as

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 4>much as I can. I've talked about this before, Like,

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.279
<v Speaker 4>praying in water is like my favorite thing, and I

0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 4>think that's also because I know that it's just me,

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:30.040
<v Speaker 4>especially if I'm at a beach or some kind.

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Of big body of water where I can just go in.

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 4>And I don't hear anything else but the waves, and

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 4>I feel like God.

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Is speaking to me directly at the moment.

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:39.680
<v Speaker 2>The girl, That's one of my favorite places to be

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 2>around water because when you look, especially huge bodies of water,

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it just shows you like the awe of God, like wow,

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:49.839
<v Speaker 2>he created this, you know you really you just see

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 2>like the endless almost like it's symbolic to his endless

0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:55.560
<v Speaker 2>love because it's like water just you can't like you

0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:57.080
<v Speaker 2>don't even see the end of It's like he just

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 2>keeps going.

0:40:57.880 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 3>You see how small you are?

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Yes, that is so true. Let's talk about sisterhood. Yes,

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:11.040
<v Speaker 2>because we're both on Tatima and sisters. Sisterhood is so

0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:14.799
<v Speaker 2>important to me, our two characters. We I am like

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 2>always like what you mean, Angel, because you always you

0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:18.760
<v Speaker 2>check me, You check me when I'm wrong.

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>You try to hold me accountable.

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Y'all heard that right.

0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:24.640
<v Speaker 2>You try to hold me accountable. And a lot of

0:41:24.680 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 2>times we don't want to hear that as friends. But

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the way Tyler writes our characters because Fatima

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 2>does that because she's using the one always trying to

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 2>like help people, but you're the one that's always helping Fatima.

0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 3>And then we do a good back and forth because

0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:39.759
<v Speaker 3>you tell me about myself too.

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, whether right right, But that's what friends are for

0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:47.280
<v Speaker 2>in your real life because you have sisters, amazing sisters.

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:49.960
<v Speaker 2>How is y'all's relationship And did that actually help when

0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:51.760
<v Speaker 2>it came to being on the show Sisters?

0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:56.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh absolutely, I mean my sisters are the closest thing

0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:58.759
<v Speaker 4>to me in general. We were raised super close. You know,

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 4>it was us against the world, except we fought. We

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:04.879
<v Speaker 4>fought a lot, but that's a.

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Part of the sisterhood. We we you know, we had

0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:09.080
<v Speaker 3>very humble beginnings. So like we shared a.

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:12.759
<v Speaker 4>Room growing up, the three of us, what you know,

0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:15.839
<v Speaker 4>from four years older to two years younger. We were

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:19.359
<v Speaker 4>all like really close quarters. So it forced us to

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:23.520
<v Speaker 4>be close and ride for each other. Like I remember

0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:26.479
<v Speaker 4>one time a boy hit me and my little sister

0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 4>came out of nowhere would a.

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Metal back just swinging.

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Mind you, her little self she's two years younger than me,

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 4>but in you know, in those years, that's a huge difference.

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:36.440
<v Speaker 3>But we've always just had each other's back, and.

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:38.800
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that's only grown as we've gotten older.

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:42.640
<v Speaker 3>My older sister has the cutest son. Now my nephew,

0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:47.320
<v Speaker 3>who is like, that's my baby with my younger.

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.759
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I mean that experience too, is just those

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:55.320
<v Speaker 4>are my people.

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Those are my best friends in the world.

0:42:57.360 --> 0:42:58.839
<v Speaker 4>They're the only people in the world that I feel

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 4>like I can tell anything to without feeling judged. No,

0:43:01.520 --> 0:43:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I have my my friends and everything, but my sister

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:08.839
<v Speaker 4>is nothing. It's like that nothing nobody.

0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I love that I have two sisters, but all

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:16.160
<v Speaker 2>my siblings we have different moms. But and my me

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:19.239
<v Speaker 2>and my sisters weren't raised together. But our relationship is

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 2>so beautiful and it's always fun to see how like,

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:25.840
<v Speaker 2>no matter what the dynamic is, that's a bond you

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.960
<v Speaker 2>can never break. So yeah, I love my sisters, and

0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I love how Tyler wrote the show for us to

0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 2>just exemplify what sisterhood is.

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:39.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, because you need your corner, We do, you really do?

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Before we get out of here, I want to play

0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:45.879
<v Speaker 2>a game with you. Oh, I love playing games trying

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:46.600
<v Speaker 2>to hit me colt up.

0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Then you get.

0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:49.320
<v Speaker 2>It's easy.

0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just called this or that.

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:52.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, I knew it is lie.

0:43:54.560 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all right.

0:43:56.440 --> 0:44:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's see. And this is you know, a little this

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:03.600
<v Speaker 2>is a little cast made edition. Okay, alright. So do

0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:04.960
<v Speaker 2>you like movies or TV shows?

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:09.120
<v Speaker 3>TV shows scripted or reality? Oh, scripted?

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:15.480
<v Speaker 2>The hero or the villain, the via? Do you like

0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:17.760
<v Speaker 2>improv or strictly following the script?

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I love improv. That's when we get the best stuff.

0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:22.319
<v Speaker 2>We do a lot of that.

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:27.360
<v Speaker 1>On you like night shoots or early morning call times?

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 4>Ooh, it all depends on what the day has been

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 4>and the night before. Yeah, I'm a morning person, so

0:44:35.680 --> 0:44:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't mind mornings.

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:38.200
<v Speaker 2>You are a morning person.

0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:41.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I have a problem with them late nights, especially

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:42.439
<v Speaker 4>if we've had a long day.

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:43.439
<v Speaker 3>It can get real.

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm with you on that, and I'm with you

0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 2>on that. On set, pranks or keeping it professional, do

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:59.440
<v Speaker 2>not do the party, don't prank me on r exactly,

0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:03.240
<v Speaker 2>method acting or just turn it on and off.

0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it all depends on the part.

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 4>Say yeah, I feel like I'm very like my character

0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Angela in a lot of ways. So it's a little

0:45:13.600 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 4>bit of method, but not all the way. So it's

0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:17.160
<v Speaker 4>a little turn it's a little off and on.

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, y'all.

0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:19.759
<v Speaker 3>I guess it's both.

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I think for me like method and when I have

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:24.000
<v Speaker 2>like emotional scenes, it's hard for me to just turn it

0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:26.680
<v Speaker 2>on and off. But when it comes to other emotional

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:28.840
<v Speaker 2>character traits, I can turn those on off with that

0:45:28.960 --> 0:45:31.439
<v Speaker 2>like crying, yeah, stuff, I kind of have to wake

0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:33.920
<v Speaker 2>up down, like to really be ready to all right

0:45:33.960 --> 0:45:37.359
<v Speaker 2>and action, like I can't wake up halfy and then like, okay,

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a crime scene.

0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Just start crying.

0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:40.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know that, because I'd be like, okay, give

0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:45.359
<v Speaker 3>me a second, give me a second. But it's hard

0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:47.239
<v Speaker 3>and so much it's going on, people talking and laughing.

0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:51.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like oh yeah, and then everybody's like so I'm like,

0:45:51.960 --> 0:45:54.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, I need everybody to like, don't talk to you, Yeah,

0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:57.560
<v Speaker 2>don't not right now, please stop talking, Like I've gotta

0:45:57.760 --> 0:45:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I gotta get there.

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 1>We don't have a lot of time. Time is money, all.

0:46:02.000 --> 0:46:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, let's see are we just weas we just talking

0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:04.960
<v Speaker 2>about this?

0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:09.680
<v Speaker 1>But a crying scene or a fight scene, once.

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Again, it depends on the context. But I will say

0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 4>I would love to do some fight scenes. I want

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 4>to do some action.

0:46:15.480 --> 0:46:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I love to fight scenes because I don't be fighting

0:46:17.320 --> 0:46:18.279
<v Speaker 2>in real life.

0:46:18.680 --> 0:46:19.640
<v Speaker 3>That's where you get it out.

0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Fight. Yes, I love it.

0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:26.520
<v Speaker 3>I can ready to jump off something, land somewhere.

0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Exactly live audience or no audience.

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Live.

0:46:32.120 --> 0:46:33.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, there's nothing like the theater.

0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I livet I love it. Costume, heavy roll or

0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:40.799
<v Speaker 2>a casual wardrobe.

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, please don't make me have to wear too many things?

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I want to be comfortable.

0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 4>It's hard to lock in when you're thinking about too

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:49.960
<v Speaker 4>much other stuff.

0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 2>No, for sure. Ooh this is another good one. Makeup

<v Speaker 2>chair for hours are quick and easy bybee.

0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 3>If I can do my makeup in twenty minutes, I

0:46:58.200 --> 0:46:59.760
<v Speaker 3>don't want to be in this chair for two hours.

0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:02.080

<v Speaker 2>second chances. After being raising a church and experiencing church hurt,

0:49:11.680 --> 0:49:13.960
