When 132 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: I when I always talk about people on the show 133 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: about entertainment entrepreneurship, and I always tell people to value 134 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: and the importance of relationships. Okay, and this is this 135 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: is what I speak of when I say relationships because again, 136 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: you know we were talented, well get you so far? 137 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: I would tell relationships will keep you in the game. Okay. Yeah, 138 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: and this is what you could talk about the value 139 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: relationship not only just the opportunity you got with you know, 140 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: calling this movie, but also in the industry overall. How 141 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: to help you having been having a relation you shaver 142 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: having talent and extending you and giving you a career 143 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: in this business. Absolutely yes, So you know what, it's 144 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: one thing about just having the the um, I guess 145 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,119 Speaker 1: the gift of where whether it's singing, act and producing 146 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: is one thing. Just to have that gift of being 147 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: able to do those things is another thing of how 148 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: you perceive yourself in front of individuals. And I always 149 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: say that the sto the toes that you step on 150 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: today may be connected to the ask you have to 151 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: kiss tomorrow. So you have to be extremely careful how 152 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: you treat people. You just have to, you know, I 153 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: know in in in the entertainment industry, people get on 154 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: your nerves. Everybody isn't always on the up and up 155 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: and people there are a lot of users, not just 156 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: an entertainment industry but across the board in the world. Um, 157 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: So you have to be careful. Um and you have 158 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: to be shocked as well. So it's very important to 159 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: maintain relationships. Just be nice to people. It doesn't take nothing, 160 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: just to smile and just to say thank you, um 161 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: and and those things will take you a long way. 162 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Like um and it took me to another situation where 163 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: I've been.

I'm interviewing one of the 273 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: you know, stars of the series of Braxton Family Values. 274 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: But also she's an entrepreneur. But I did in order 275 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: to have a path to success, you've got to create 276 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: a resume. We talked about in the first half about 277 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: her love for acting. We got excited and we joked about. 278 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: We talked about relationships, but more importantly it's about family. 279 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: And she's also as an HBCU. She went to HBCU 280 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: school Booie State and I always talk I would like 281 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: to stop the show for a minute because I'm an advocate. 282 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: I did not go to an hbc U, but that 283 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: doesn't stop me from being an advocate and promoting HBCU 284 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: is because of the fact that the contributions that they 285 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: bring to us that a lot of people don't recognize 286 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: on the regular basis. Please tell us about attending HBCU. 287 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: Why you recommend you know, individual used to go to 288 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: Black and White male female to go to HBCUs. Well, 289 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: you know what, first of all, um, when I was 290 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: growing up and I went to in my secondary schools, 291 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: it was predominantly white. And I have to say it that, Um, 292 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: I know this is gonna sound bad to say, but culturally, um, 293 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: it was a cultural shock for me to even go 294 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: to Boois State University because I saw so many of 295 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: my people. But I think it's so important, um, for 296 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: us to embrace HBCUs, to support hbc USED, because that's 297 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: how we learn. We learned from other individuals, that's in 298 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: our own culture, you know. And that I learned so 299 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: much stuff that I didn't learn when I was in 300 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: school because of course they don't teach everything. And you 301 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: know your secondary schools. I mean I learned about the 302 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: isis paper. I learned. I mean, I just started reading 303 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: stuff I had no idea about, um, and then just 304 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: culturally read blas. Black people were party different we speak differently, 305 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: we support differently. And I just think that that's so 306 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: important to go to an HBCU and I pledged. I'm 307 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: a data and I'm a sick a sweetheart. Yeah nine member, Okay, 308 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: you're talking to man right now, right, so right, I 309 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: think we're going for and then and then the reason 310 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: that I even pledged data UM is because I went 311 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: to this UM.

And 326 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm not a person who really brags about everything that 327 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: I do or you know, I don't always want to 328 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: paddle my back for supporting or helping someone, and that 329 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: was more of my personality.
