00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I did my cookbook, I wanted to, you know, give

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: a glimpse of what went into the cookbook. It wasn't

31
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: just food. It wasn't you know, just um recipes and

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: ingredients and just how to make, you know, step by

33
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: step a dish. It was about family, It was about

34
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: um faith. Um. I really wanted to show, you know,

35
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: like where I come from. UM. I wanted to show

36
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: my really who Julie wasn't it? It was literally a

37
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: cookbook slash look book is what it really was. Um.

38
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Every single recipe had a different look to it, so

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: as you flipped the pages, it's a look with the

40
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: recipe and then obviously the instructions and ingredients on the

41
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: how to, but everything that went into it was literally

42
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: a two part because I'm not just you know, a

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: person who cooks. I'm all into fashion. I'm you know,

44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: a person who comes home from a long day in

45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: my you know, whatever fit I'm in and I cook

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: and I make food. And so it was like something

47
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: that was really real. I wanted it to just be

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a you know, sixty year old

49
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: person who's just doing a cookbook with like, you know,

50
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: eight kids. Like I wanted to have the youth in it.

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm only twenty six and when I did the cookbook,

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: I was five, I think, Yeah, I was twenty four

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: years old. And during quarantine, I did it during quarantine.

54
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I was twenty four years old when I did it,

55
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: and um, and literally I wanted to bring that youth.

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: I wanted to really bring who I was into that cookbook. Yeah,

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about the title, This Boss Babe

58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Can Cook. You know, when I read that title, I

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: was very satisfied that you did not name that book

60
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: this Boss Bitch Can Cook, you know, because I mean,

61
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just glad you didn't name the title that.

62
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: You know. It's like, it's like, because I know a

63
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: lot of you know, you know, people like to say

64
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: that a lot, you know, but I just think that

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: just saying that one little word, that putting that babe

66
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: in that you could put a lot of different words

67
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: in that, but babe makes the book sexy. It makes

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: it sexy, and it makes it like you know, um,

69
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the branding, the marketing was able to

70
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: go longer and hit a lot more crowds and you know,

71
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: not be offensive. Right yeah, right, Yeah, that that was

72
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: a good That was a good look on that title

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: A boss. I mean you you really embrace that term, Like,

74
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: where did that come from? And then, by the way,

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: I do know your dad, Yeah, I know Jews. Jews

76
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: is a good dude, man, the most incredible man. And

77
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: I'll say this, you know, like Jews is one of

78
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: those dudes that don't switch up. He's been solid. No, yeah,

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: my daddy's the same. He's been a solid cat for

80
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: a long time. My daddy really believe it not gives

81
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: me my like street cred. Yeah, yeah for sure. So

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: so where did so? I guess that comes from? And

83
00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: foremost my dad my mom both yes, angels complete definitions

84
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: of a boss. Let me start there. I literally had

85
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: no better role models than them. I'm so blessed to have,

86
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, my parents to look up to in all

87
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: aspects of life. Um, they've been married for since Jesus

88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: was a baby. They literally have been together all that time.

89
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: UM My mom is the most hard working, independent woman

90
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: I've ever met. My dad is the backbone to our family.

91
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: So to see those two perspectives literally growing up, I

92
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: was so blessed to see that firsthand, and UM, honestly,

93
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 1: it made me never want to strive for anything less

94
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: and to be honest with you, Um, really, once I

95
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: started getting older, it was really like in high school,

96
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: first and foremost, the stage and everything has always been

97
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: the forefront of my life. I've been doing dance since

98
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: I was two years old, took a love to the

99
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: stage at a very very early age. But it was

100
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: really around in high school when I wanted to finish

101
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: high school early and I didn't see myself going to college.

102
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: But I knew just in my heart that at I

103
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: had a different path of life. Mind you, both of

104
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: my parents being bosses, both went to college, both got

105
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: a degree, both graduated, and so I was the first

106
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: one of my family to want to take this different

107
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: path of life and I had the most incredible supportive

108
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: parents who truthfully saw the same in me. Was like,

109
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, we don't think she's gonna be do this

110
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: same path of life. And they My dad actually was

111
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: the one. His words will never leave me. He said,

112
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: school will always be there, your youth won't. He was like,

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: so go ahead and go get it. And ever since then,

114
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: I took that by storm and I just literally everything

115
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: that's coming to my path, everything that I've ever thought about,

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: I just do it. I have no cap no limit

117
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: to what I can do. UM. Music is my first love.

118
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I have been doing music forever. Music has always been

119
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: my first love. I actually just dropped a project March

Speaker 1: Is called Copee and Paste, and it has fourced songs

122
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: on it. For I wanted to keep the project short

123
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: just because I wanted to you know, today's people have

124
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: a short attention span, and I just wanted to pick

166
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,359
Speaker 1: one or two steps away, and bam, it's going boom.

167
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: That's how it's gonna be, you know, because yeah, you

Speaker 1: and you got a good work ethic. You gotta get attitude.

172
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: That's a lot you know, like most people, you know,

173
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: they missed one or two of those things and that's

174
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: why they won't make it. And you know that's always

175
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: an exception, but you know, usually when you have all

176
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: those two's like you have, it's it's stamina impossible to lose,

177
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: you know. So you know, I think like when somebody

178
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: plays this thing back, you know, another year to us,

179
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: so they would be like, damn, well it did. It's

180
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: a prophet. Yeah. So so so talk to us about

181
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: growing up in the more household and why did you

182
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: drop the name your last name you went by, you're

183
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: going by your middle name. I never dropped it. Um

184
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: just funny enough. Like when I started to do Instagram, Um,

185
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: as you know, you need an Instagram handle, and Jilly

186
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: has always been like what people call me, Jillian is

187
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: my first name. But when I wanted to do an

188
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: Instagram handle, funny enough, um, I don't want to be

189
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: like my full name. Well, I just didn't want to

190
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: put my government name like Jillian needs more like you know,

191
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: so I was like, you know, you know, I don't know,

192
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why I never put that, but um,

193
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: I just always like the ring that a niece had

194
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: to it um. And then when I was actually gonna

195
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: do it, I was really gonna put Jillian a Nise.

196
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: But when you spell that out, it's j I L

197
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: L Y A N A N A I S. And

198
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: it was too many A N A N A, like,

199
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, so I just cut out the A N

200
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: on Jillian and then obviously kept the A N on

201
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: a Nie so that way it flowed better. So it's

202
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: just Jilliannie instead of Jillian and all these A N

203
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: A and A I S. Like. I just kept it

204
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: like that, and it just always really just took a

205
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: ring to it and branded, and you know, for the

206
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: most part, I really just go by Jilly. I don't

207
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: introduce myself as jillianese. Um. Obviously it branded to where people,

208
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, naturally just say Jilliannie. But I just go

209
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: by Jilly. Whenever I do all my stage stuff, Um,

210
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: I introduced introduce myself as Jelly. My logos just have

211
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: Jelly on it. Um. When I do when I write books,

212
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: cookbooks and stuff, that's when I go by my legal

213
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: name Jillian and Nise Moore, just because I feel like

214
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: business wise, it's a whole different perspective and I want,

215
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, my legal government name on it. Um. But

216
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: whenever I do music and um everything like that, I

217
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: just do jelly. Yeah. That's a good marketing strategy all

218
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: because when you look at some of those one name stars,

219
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you got Madonna chair yea, Rihanna, yeah,

220
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Michael Michael. Yeah, that's a that's a good move. I

221
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: think that's that was a good look. Yes, yeah, let's

222
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: get into your run as miss teen here. Yes, yeah,

223
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: that was That was quite an experience, right, Oh yeah.

224
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: It was my first pageant ever. My dance teacher at

225
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: the time, she convinced me to do it. I was

226
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a pageant girl. I do not want to

227
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: do this. That's not what I'm into. She was like, no,

228
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: I just think you should. It would be a really

229
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: great opportunity. Long story short, I did it first pageant ever,

230
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about I competed against girls who've been

231
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: doing this since they were like toddlers, doing the toddlers

232
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: and tears and so this is they live, breathe, eat

233
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: pageant world. And I walked in there first pageant ever

234
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: and one Missy in Houston just like that. Oh they

235
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: was mad. They were mad. I don't know, I can imagine, like,

236
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: what was the most difficult part of the contest to you,

237
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't even say there was a difficult

238
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: part because, like I told you, I love the stage.

239
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: The stage has always been my second home. So UM

240
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: I was with the Miss America organization, and with that organization,

241
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: UM there's different categories. Obviously, there's the you know, Q

242
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: and A, there's the walk, and then there's also talent.

243
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: That's the difference between the American organization and the USA one.

244
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: UM USA is just strictly like model esque, whereas American

245
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: organization has talent. And my first one, UM, I actually

246
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: did a dancing singing number and I just killed it.

247
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: I killed it and I was just me. Whenever you

248
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: do the you also have, prior to the actual competition,

249
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: you have um a what's it called, like um an

250
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: interview with the judges. It's just you and like six

251
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: people at the table asking you questions and all of that,

252
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: and I'm just I've always been me. I've always been me,

253
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: And I guess that resonated with the judges and it

254
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: was a unanimous vote. I was missing Houston. Did you

255
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: feel like you had like an edge on somebody, like

256
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: with a particular talent that you have, Like when you

257
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: looked at the competition you went in and saying like,

258
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, when we get to this point,

259
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna killer. Um. I mean, you know, I just think,

260
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I've always just been focused

261
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: on me. That was like the thing with all the

262
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: other girls. They were just so worried about everyone else,

263
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: whereas I wasn't. I was like, at the end of

264
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: the day, I have nothing to lose. I didn't really

265
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: want to do this anyway, so I mean, you know,

266
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried. They had singers and opera singers

267
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: and girls who were like in the corner going like, oh,

268
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, practicing and stuff, and I was just like

269
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: I was backstage with my mom and she really was

270
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: just like, let's just get it. And no, my mom,

271
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I think, no, No, my mom. She's never been nervous

272
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: like she just she gets excited. My mom is just

273
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: she loves watching all of this unfold. I think, especially

274
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: for the Chris Brown concert, no one was more excited

275
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: than her, Like, no one. I don't even think I

276
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: was more excited than her. And it's just awesome, Like

277
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: she you know too for both my parents to see

278
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: the baby girl, like, you know, really doing what they

279
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: said they would do. I graduated from high school early.

280
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: I graduated at seventeen, walked with my class at eighteen

281
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: years old. But um moved to l A at eighteen

282
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: years old. I'm twenty six right now, and just to

283
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: see how far I've come, and you know, where I'm

284
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: at in my career right now and literally still nowhere

285
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: where I want to be. It's just, you know, I

286
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: said what I was gonna do, and I'm making the

287
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: damn thing happen. Yeah. How is l A compared to Houston? Um,

288
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: I know it's certain things about l A, but I

289
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: want to hear your perspective. Yeah, they're two complete, completely

290
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: opposite ends of the spectrum. Like, um, but I moved

291
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: to l A strictly for work, strictly for business. You know,

292
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who get caught up in

293
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: the life, by the grace of God, that was never me. Um. Never,

294
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: what do you like about l A that you don't

295
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: like about Houston? And what do you like about Houston

296
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: that you don't like about l A? Or if you

297
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: don't have to use word like you just say what

298
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: benefits does Well? I mean the weather in l A

299
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: is perfect, It's so dreamy. I mean you wake up

300
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: every day happy because the sunshine is just shining all

301
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: the time. But I mean, I just didn't feel like

302
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: I could get my career off the ground in Houston.

303
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I did not feel like that at all. Um, So

304
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,360

314
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: path is different. But personally, I just felt like I

315
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: needed to move away, two push my career and start

316
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: to go in the direction that I wanted to go.

317
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: And I didn't know a single soul in l A.

318
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: When I first moved didn't know anyone but I that

319
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: you moved to I moved when I first moved out there,

320
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: I moved to North Holliga. Yeah. And then after like

321
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: a year or so, once I like got acquainted with

322
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: l A, I moved to Glendale and I've loved Glendale

323
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: ever since. Um, it's way more suburby. But you know,

324
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about l A when I first

325
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: went nothing at all. And UM, needless to say, I

326
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: didn't know a single soul anyone. But it was just, uh,

327
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: a leap of faith. That's literally the only thing I

328
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: can describe it as. I am. God was telling me,

329
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: you know, this is what you need to do, and

330
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: I listened, And I mean it's been paying off ever since.

331
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: Who gave you the tip to move to North Hollywood?

332
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: No one? When I moved out there. Yeah, I just yeah,

333
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: whenever I went out there, I went out there. Um.

334
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: I was living in a hotel for a little bit,

335
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: and then UM started to mingle and UM network and

336
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,440

Speaker 1: I was working on like an EP then and UM,

338
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: I just started researching apartments. UM. At eighteen, I wasn't

339
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: making any money so my parents would be the ones

340
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: to pay for it. So I was like, you know,

341
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: in a apartment that you know, a reasonable budget. I

342
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: was looking at the high rises and stuff then, but

343
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: um apartment and I found the one in North Hollywood

344
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: and it was just perfect for the time being. UM.

345
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: And that's when I was just like, you know, I

346
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: want to make this thing official. I told my parents

347
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: and they got me the apartment. Then then a year later,

348
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: I remember I called them and I was just like,

349
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: I want to move to a bigger space. My mom

350
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: was like, but like, you know, how are you gonna

351
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: do that? And now she was like no. I remember

352
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: she was like, UM, okay, but we're not going to

353
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: be paying like, you know, double the rent. I was like,

354
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: it's okay, I don't need you all to pay anything anymore.

355
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: I got it and ever since then I never looked back.

356
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: Nineteen years old. From there on out, I became one independent.

357
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Now how how were you able to pay for yourself?

358
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: For me? Social media took off? Social media really took off. Um.

359
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: I became a huge, huge sensation on social media. Instagram,

Speaker 1: Instagram started first and then YouTube and then they went

362
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: hand in hand um, and then pretty much it was

363
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: all of them. Um. I would get crazy brand deals. Um.

364

438
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,560

Speaker 1: my grandmother was an attendant. So I just want to Yeah,

442
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know, if you even have

443
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: a sniffle, do not come near us, because I don't

444
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: care about anyone more than my grandmother. I'm like we're

445
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna die if you may have anything to do,

446
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: you know. So I was just like, very very cautious

447
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: of um, you know, everyone being there around her. But

448
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: it was very intimate. It was when you first said that,

449
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was telling your grandma a sniffle. No,

450
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying anybody around I don't know, like my friends,

451
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm saying, like, you know, friends, if

455
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: everything that was going on, I would have had it

456
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: be my parents, my grandmother, my brother, my boyfriend and

457
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: just us if needed me. So, you know, being able

458
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: to do friends and stuff that was extra. So what

459
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying is like, you know, I was like, look

460
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: here my grandmother and my parents. If anybody is sick,

461
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: stay home, like I do not care, do not come.

462
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: The reason why I ask you that because that's what

463
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: I picked up from the party. It was very intosolutely

464
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: was very intomate. I don't know how many. Actually sometimes

465
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: I like the big party, everybody's coming, all that stuff.

466
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: But other times, I like the intimacy and those those gatherings,

467
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: to me, I remember the most. Yeah, and I have

468
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: the most fun. Yeah. I mean y'all al were having

469
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: a bar. I mean that that that that was a party. Man,

470
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: we had the best I can't like you got me

471
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: having flashbacks right now. Yeah, I had the best night ever.

472
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: Like each year I say it's the best birthday ever,

473
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: but really this year was just the best birthday ever.

474
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I just felt so loved and that was just the

475
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: biggest thing to me. I don't really you know, like

476
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: sharing my special days with people, you know, just anyone.

477
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: I was like, that's why, I don't, you know, I

478
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: would never say never about throwing like, you know, an

479
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: extravagant party party, but I probably won't. I think all

480
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: my birthdays will forever be how these past two have been. Yeah, yeah,

481
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: that's a good look. Yeah. How is the acting going? Incredible? Actually?

482
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: Um right now I've been just only focused on music,

483
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: but it's actually incredible. Um. In l A, I had

484
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: so many shows that I was on. I was on

485
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: the Real Husbands of Hollywood, I was on the n

486
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: c I S and so many of um different shows.

487
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: A couple of Disney things, but um, as great as

488
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: it is, I also realized too that music is still

489
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: my first love. And so with that being said, I

490
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: was like, you know, within these next couple of years,

491
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: I want to primarily focus on music. And then of course,

492
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: like you know, when certain acting jobs come, oh, I'm

493
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: taking them and I'm running for it. But um, I

494
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I don't want to just be

495
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: sitting in castings all day and you know, making that

496
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: the only thing I do. So um, you know, I'm

497
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: so dan good at music. That's what I feel like,

498
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, my real true you know talent And I

499
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: don't even want to say talent, because like acting, I

500
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: love too, but I just feel like using my purpose, Yeah,

501
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: that's my purpose. It's definitely gonna be the one thing

502
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: that I feel like forever. Want to leave my marketing legacy,

503
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: um and really go just extremely strong with music but acting.

504
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, and once this music gets to where

505
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to be, I want to be star in movies.

506
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: I want to win you know, I want to go

507
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: to the Oscars. I would love to win an Oscar.

508
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: I just wanna I see it. I know I'm gonna

509
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: be able to do all of that. Um, but yeah,

510
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean acting is just really another footstone that's in

511
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: my journey for sure. Would you do a new scene,

512
00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: a nude scene? No? No, um no no, would you

513
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: ever do Playboy cover? Okay? See, So the reason why

514
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: I asked that is because before you come into this

515
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: entertainment game, if you don't know what you will do

516
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: for money, you better know what you won't do for me. Yeah. Well,

517
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: by the greatest of all to like, you know, money

518
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: is not the like concept for me, you know. So

519
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I think it's not just money, but

520
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: it's also attention. Because you're straight money, you're good. You're

521
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: good no matter what, You're gonna be good. You know

522
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: your parents are straight, they got your back and all

523
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: that stuff. You're gonna be good no matter what. On

524
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: money and beyond great, I didn't know. What I'm saying

525
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: is that if all let's feel if if you blew

526
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: your bag, you know what I'm saying. You got a

527
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: good support system, so you're gonna you're gonna be I

528
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine going to my parents, but but you're gonna

529
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: be good. The bottom line is that you're gonna be good.

530
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: Money is not gonna make you like that. But I'm

531
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: saying that what happens oftentimes, though, is that sometimes uh women,

532
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: when they get a little older, they need a hit,

533
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: they need a booster shot, so to speak, for their career.

534
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: They'll start taking the clothes off. And a lot of

535
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: times it's disappointing to us because you know, if a

536
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: woman carries herself for a certain way, you kind of

537
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: you tend to kind of put on a pedestal. And

538
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: now she's up here because everybody else is doing this right.

539
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: And then she's she's up here, and we put her there.

540
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: And then the next thing we know, we look up

541
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: and she's doing the same thing everybody else, and ship

542
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: we lost another one, you know. So that happens a lot.

543
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: And that's why I ask, you know, like you know,

544
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: you know what, you'd be willing to do something like that,

545
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: because they're going to ask. They are coming. They will

546
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: ask because they like to control, that's the thing. And

547
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: they like to have something on everybody. They like to

548
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: make sure they but they're astric next you know. Yeah, no,

549
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm always stay true to me. I feel like, you know,

550
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: I have a different purpose than the average. And so

551
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm like No that that's never intrigued me. You know,

552
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: you can do as much research. I've never been like

553
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: that ever. So no, it's not even who I am.

554
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: It's not the look I want for my family. Um.

555
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, I I'm solid elsewhere. Um. Now, I think

556
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: sex appill is different from just being like, you know,

557
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: blantly nude. Um, because I mean, I work hard for

558
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: my body. I I'm always on my peloton. I work

559
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: out every damn day near and so like you know,

560
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show my stomach like I'm gonna wear my bikini,

561
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm I'm twenty six years old, I have

562
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: no kids. I you know, I'm not gonna address like

563
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: a nun. But um, at the same time, that's on

564
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: my accord, you know that's not anything as the same

565
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: as nudity at all. But um, I still believe in

566
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 1: strong sex appeal. Um, I'm a woman. I feel like

567
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: I am, you know, at the prime of my really

568
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: not even the prime, because I planned to you know,

569
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 1: continue to grow and grow more into myself. But um,

570
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: I think ultimately sex appill is just completely different from

571
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: like nudity, blatant nudity and stuff. But I mean, I

572
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: believe in like, you know, strong and sexy for sure. Yeah.

573
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: I just think that you gotta have something that you

574
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: get that, you gotta have something, ye have something that

575
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: everybody ain't seen. Yeah, and I completely agree. I could

576
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: ever imagine like if if I can't show it to

577
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: my parents, then I'm not gonna do it, you know. Yeah,

578
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: And what does what does your dad think about your

579
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: sex appeal? Because you you're you you're what what what?

580
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: What's that word they call they call it a sex um?

581
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: What's the word when somebody is really sexy or whatever?

582
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: They have sex appeal? There? I have to come back

583
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: to it anyway. But anyway, you know, you're your music

584
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: videos are very provocative in a sense. I mean I'm

585
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: not you know, I mean they're provocative, you know, like

586
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: when you I don't think provocative is the correct I

587
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: think they provoke a strong reaction. I think. I mean,

588
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: but you can't just you can't watch a jilly video

589
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: like this, well no, that's not who I am. You

590
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: can't do that to watch you know what it is.

591
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't think provocative is the right word because you

592
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: also have like you know, people who let me, let me,

593
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: let me, let me let me let me clear it.

594
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is like, also, you know,

595
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: you have very very incredible people in the industry. Um,

596
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't knock anyone the most incredible people, but you

597
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: know there are people who are really talking about some

598
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: provocative stuff, like really provocative. No, no, no, that's talking

599
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like appearance. Appearance. I mean, I don't

600
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say provocative just because

601
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm sexy. I don't think it's provocative. I don't think.

602
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: I think I just have sex appill. I really do

603
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: think it's sexy hill it's not provocative though. I don't

604
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: think I had the Yeah, No, I just think I

605
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,600

Speaker 1: about even to an extent, like things that grown women do,

610
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: but not even as fluently as other people elaborate on

611
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: in a sense. But I mean, I'm I don't know,

645
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: I'm a person who's never touched it, So why can't

646
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,000

647
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: showing off all these bodies. I'm like, you know, and

648
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,640

649
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: to each its own, to whatever makes everyone happy. But

650
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: for me, my natural body makes me the happiest. And

651
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm blessed that this is the same body that came

00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,120

00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: years from now, when I have kids and stuff, I'm

662
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: gonna be like, leave me alone for forty five minutes.

663
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: I need my peloton every day. That's all I need.

664
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: All I need is my peloton, and I'm good. How

665
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: many kids do you want? Um? Anywhere between two and four.

666
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: I know I do not want one, But I always said,

667
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: let me get two first and then really see because

668
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, after that sec one I might be like, yeah,

669
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: that's four is a long shot. But at the same time,

670
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: we want a big family. We want like maybe four

671
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: four as the max. So two boys, two girls, um

672
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: I want well, I want three boys and one girl.

673
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: I want one girl more so for my boyfriend, but

674
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: like because he wants a little me. But I think

675
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: it's so funny. My mom always tells me she thinks

676
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a boy mom. She says she doesn't

677
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: see me having a girl. But I want one little girl.

678
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: At the end, I want all the girls about to

679
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: ask three boys and then little girl. Then yeah, and

680
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: let's say you have that little girl. Everything works up

681
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: stars the line and bam, you got the little girl.

682
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: What does mommy duties look like to you? Like something?

683
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean besides the obvious? Yea, what, what's something in

684
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: your mind? You're saying, like, I would love to have

685
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: a little girl so I can do this. I would

686
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: love to have a little girl really just to honestly

687
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: like the mommy and me things are so cute. I

688
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: really would love to just you know, match with my

689
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: little twin, but more importantly, just to really like mold

690
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: someone else the way my mom molded me. I think

691
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, of course my dad too, but for speaking,

692
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: just woman, a woman. My mom molded me in ways

693
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: that I won't ever be able to explain. You know,

694
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: she molded my mind. She molded because obviously when I

695
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: moved to l A, there were times where I'm like, Mom,

696
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: do I need bigger breasts? Like she was always firm,

697
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: or no, do not touch yourself? And just the way

698
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: she stimulated my mind and really just like taught me

699
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: in ways where I wasn't thinking I was being taught,

700
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: but I was. I would love to really instill that

701
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: into my daughter one day, because you know today's world,

702
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: you can't get lost, you can't get caught up. But

703
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: by the grace of God, I have a mom who

704
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: was also my best friend. The line's never crossed to

705
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, any disrespect or any misconstruting,

706
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: But I'll go to my mom before any friend. I

707
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: don't tell my friends my problems, even best friends. I

708
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: don't any issue that I have or you know, advice

709
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: or anything. I go to my mom. As far as

710
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: you know women woman advice. As far as relationship advice,

711
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go to my friend who's been

712
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: with her boyfriend maybe a year longer than me. I'm

713
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna go to my mom, who's been with my dad

714
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: for thirty plush years to get that relationship advice. You

715
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: know did it where y'all did it? So I keep saying,

716
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: what if they come from I get it that it's

717
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: rooted in you, you know, from your mom and dad,

718
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: But how did you pick it up? When were you

719
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: cognizant of picking that up like and saying I want

720
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: to pick up these type of values, and you had

721
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: intention about upholding those values. I think, to my dew minds,

722
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: I wasn't really knowing that I was picking it up,

723
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: But I will say I kind of started to really

724
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: understand in high school. High school was a big shift

725
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: for me. Um I went to I was in private

726
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: school all my life up until ninth grade. Then I

727
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: went to sophomore year, I transferred to public school for

728
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: the first time in my life. Hated it, Oh my god,

729
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: hated it. And um, I think that was a really

730
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: big change for me as far as peers, as far

731
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: as just like everything that went on in my life

732
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: in high school, and um, little did I know even

733
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: then it would just be words of like I don't

734
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 1: even really know how to describe it, but just words

735
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: of encouragement and just and to me that still diminishes it.

736
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: But just the way my mom and dad would talk

737
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: to me, and the way they would, you know, tell

738
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: me either my wrongdoing or right doing in a way

739
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't like a parent like putting down their child.

740
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Does that make sense in that way, yeah, exactly. And

741
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: so I was always able to go to both of

742
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: parents and and I'll really lean towards saying my mom

743
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: because obviously as a woman, I'm gonna go to my

744
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: mom for certain things more than my dad. Staying with

745
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: my brother, He's gonna go to my dad versus my mom.

746
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: So for me having that relationship with my mom, you know,

747
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: one thing my mom literally always taught me was, you know,

748
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: you can have a best friend, but who's to say

749
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: if something happens you she won't go tell your business.

750
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: One thing I'm always promised you, Yeah, I know for sure.

751
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: But then one thing that my mom always promised you

752
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: is I'm never gonna tell anyone. There's no judgment here.

753
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: And growing up I really realized that, like damn, like

754
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, I can go to my mom about anything,

755
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: like my worst worst moments. You know, girls call their

756
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: best friends are crying there, and they don't. They don't

757
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: talk to their mom. They talk to their best friends.

758
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: They go, you know, to their girlfriends. To exactly me.

759
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: On the other hand, no, like you can literally ask

760
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: you to my friends. They probably think I'm a weirdo

761
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: for that they call me. But no, I go to

762
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: my mom. Like I said, was like one of the

763
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: hardest years of my life. And who did I confide

764
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: in every day? My mom. That was it, my mom, my,

765
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: mom and mom. It sounds like to me that what

766
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: your mom and dad did was empower you with the

767
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: empower you with the idea of being able to think

768
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: for yourself and figure it out for yourself. It's like,

769
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plant this seed and give you here's the options.

770
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: Which one do you think? Absolutely, that's the perfect way

771
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: to put it. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I can relate to

772
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: what I mean, I can. I can recognize it because

773
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: you know I did the same thing with my kids. Yeah. Yeah, Um,

774
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: your brother, what does he do? Basketball? He's in school,

775
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: he's in college. Um, he plays basketball, and he is

776
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: just so tall. Now we're three years apart, I'm the

777
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: older sibling. Is as good as your dad was better? Yeah,

778
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: he's better and he's just my brother. But you know,

779
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's beyond basketball. My brother is just so smart.

780
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: He is like I learned from him too. That is

781
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: my best friend too. He I'm telling our family were

782
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: so close, like we're the most tight knit family. But um, no,

783
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: joke of what I do is you know for him,

784
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: like it's really too Yeah, no, it is. It is

785
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: to show him that you know, this ship is possible.

786
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: It's you just gotta you gotta want it. And the

787
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: thing is, you gotta want it more than anybody else

788
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: wants it. And you know, no matter what anything looks

789
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: like that it doesn't come easy. You know, I work

790
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: my butt off. I work at work. I just told

791
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: you I come from I came from a shoe literally

792
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: right after this, I'm going to another shoe that I

793
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: have rehearsal tonight and I won't even get home until midnight.

794
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: I've been gone since six am this morning. So I just,

795
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I work for everything that's coming my way.

796
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: You know, nothing's handed to me. And most importantly, like

797
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: I said, I just you know, I show him that,

798
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's nothing like a worth it work, ethic, nothing,

799
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: yeah nothing. How protective are you over the women that

800
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: may try to come into his life? Very very because

801
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, one, he's such a beautiful boy. Man now, Jesus,

802
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's not a boy. He's twenty three years old,

803
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: but he's always gonna be like my baby brother. Yeah,

804
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: and um, he's so beautiful. Um and you know too,

805
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: because of who he is, because of who his sister is,

806
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: because of you know, who I'm affiliated with. You know,

807
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: you never know people's intentions. And he's told me that

808
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: several times, like people will be like, oh, you're Jillie's brother,

809
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: and then like, you know, start talking to him, And

810
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't like that, you know, because obviously that's the

811
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: one thing he always tells me. He's like, I hate

812
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: being called your little brother. But at the same time,

813
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I want somebody who's just so

814
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: good for him, who's so just genuine, you know, um,

815
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: who really loves him, loves him the way my mom

816
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: and him. My mom and I love him, obviously, you know,

817
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: in a different factor. But I mean, no one loves

818
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: my brother. No other woman loves my brother. How my mom,

819
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: my grandmother and I love him. And you know we

820
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: are so tighten it. Um that whoever comes along to be,

821
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, blessed to be in his life and be

822
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: his leading lady just you know, needs to be able

823
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: to carry and when I say carry the way innocence,

824
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: I mean just carry that strong woman way of like

825
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: protect think him too, you know, especially black men in

826
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: this world, you gotta be their backbone. And I believe

827
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: in that. I believe I've seen my mom do it.

828
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm someone's backbone, and you got to protect these black men,

829
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: and so, you know, just someone who is in it

830
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: for the real reason and in it for the long haul.

831
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: I believe in that for sure. I think he'd be

832
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: okay if he listens to his tribe, because the tribe

833
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: is strong. Yeah. Very Let me tell you something. I'm

834
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: I'm very good at peeping game. I'm very good at

835
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: checking people out, checking out personalities and stuff, very good.

836
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: And you know what I see is a strong knit unit,

837
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: a strong family, good energy, good people. And that's the

838
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: way you pick them. You pick them one at a time.

839
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: It's like when you go on the water. You have

840
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: a war chest and you put your pieces in place,

841
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: one at a literal. And this is what you have

842
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: to do when you're bringing people into your family, into

843
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: the circle. They have to be vetted one at a time.

844
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: And as long as he does that, he's gonna be

845
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: all right. But if he's trying to go against the

846
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: grain and say, well, you know, I love it and

847
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't care what nobody else talks about it, he's

848
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna fall off a cliff. Him just because

849
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: we are so close, podcast will be right back after

850
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: the how do you yourself? Uh vet, people that come

851
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: into your life you know that may may have like

852
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: the wrong intentions, may have ulterior motives trying to get

853
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: close to you because of who you are or who

854
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: you're affiliated with. Well also by the grace of God. Again,

855
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: it's just, Um, I've been blessed to have uh small

856
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: circle that I've had for such a long time. Um,

857
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: there's been very rarely like new people come in. Um,

858
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: but I'm a very really good judge of character as well.

859
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: I am. I can see through bullshit as well. And UM,

860
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: I think I just I'm not really like, um, I

861
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: don't have time to really just go out and just

862
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: make friends. So I think that also is why I've

863
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: had the same circle for so long. Like literally, I

864
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: don't I don't have anyone new in my life. I

865
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: don't everyone around me has been my newest person in

866
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: my life would probably be exactly. That's so funny how

867
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: you were saying that, because I was gonna say certain

868
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: people I work with, like my stylists, and those people

869
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: have come in within the past like a couple of years. Um,

870
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: my assistant, she's been with me since I'm moved to

871
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: l A. So she's been with me for eight years,

872
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: so I literally have no one really knew. And like

873
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: you said, on a professional level, those are the newest

874
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: people just building my team finding you know, um, a

875
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: team that fits Jilly today, not jelly back. Um, but

876
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: those are the newest people in my life. Those are

877
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: the newest people. Um. I've been in a long relationship now,

878
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: so it's really no one knew, Like it's the same team,

879
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: the same people. UM. And I think that's a blessing too,

880
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: because whenever someone does come around. My mom is also

881
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: a really good judged character. Like my mom, one of

882
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: my girlfriends, Um, she's actually coming down. She fights in

883
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday, or came down for the show looks but

884
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: she came down for the show, the Chris Brown Show.

885
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: And um, my mom told me early on when we

886
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: first met, when and when we were in l A.

887
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: That she was like, she's gonna be your life friend.

888
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: Like hold onto that. And my mom was so right,

889
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: Like she came down for my birthday, came down for

890
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: the show, like she comes down for my big events.

891
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: She's a supportive friend. And you need people like that

892
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: in your life, you know, you need people who genuinely

893
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: want to see you win just as much as they're winning.

894
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like I think that's the beautiful

895
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: thing too, is having relationships where you both lift each

896
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: other up, both motivate each other. And I like people

897
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: around me who like to be just as successful. You know,

898
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: I never want to be the richest person in my room.

899
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: Then I'm not in the right room. I never want

900
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: to be the you know, not like the smartest person

901
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: in my room, because then I'm not Then I'm not

902
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: in the right room. So I think it's so incredible

903
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: to have other such strong, smart, successful women and men

904
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: around me, um who are really on their grind, because

905
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: it makes me want to hustle ten times harder. Literally,

906
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm and you mentioned your assistant, and I'm in the

907
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 1: market for assistant, and I'm scared to death because I've

908
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: never actually had a full time assistant. And I'm scared

909
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: to death because I hear these horror stories about these

910
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: assistants who steal money, who write these tell all books

911
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: and all of this type of stuff. How how did

912
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: you find your assistant? My assistant was literally an angel

913
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: sent from heaven. She just like fell from the sky.

914
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: That's how I found her. No, Um, I kid you,

915
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: I kid you not. It was I found her funny enough.

916
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: So she's been my assistant for She didn't start off

917
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: as my assistant. She just started off doing UM. I

918
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: was looking for someone to make me a website when

919
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: I moved to l A and I had a roommate

920
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: at the time. Um. When I first first moved to

921
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: l A. UM, and my roommate was from Canada, and UM,

922
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: she knew I was looking for someone to do my website.

923
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: And she was like, oh, I have a friend in

924
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: Canada who is really good in the text space. Um,

925
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: she can do your website. She did mine. I was like, okay, perfect, easy.

926
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: So that led into her managing my website. So, you know,

927
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: anytime I needed an update, if I was dropping a song,

928
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: if I did a new photo shoot, I just wanted

929
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: to update my website, she would do it. That then

930
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: turned into little other things like if I needed help

931
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: with something else, she would do it. And then um,

932
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: obviously I The next year I moved out from my

933
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: roommate and got a place on my own, she continued

934
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: to do my website. UM. If I needed like research

935
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: on something, I was like, you know, how can I

936
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: find like a pr here. She'd helped me find it,

937
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: and then before I knew it, she just became my

938
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: full time assistant and we were like, we need to

939
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: put a label on it, like you're my full time assistant.

940
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: And Um, I had never met her right, never met

941
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: her in person. She lives in Canada. UM, so six

942
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: years of us working together never met I just met

943
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: her for the first time. Um. She came to l

944
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: A when I was shooting my new safe music video.

945
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: I flew her out to l A because I needed

946
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: help on set. And it was so crazy because when

947
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: I tell you, there's literally besides my family, there's no

948
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: one I talked to more than her, Like I literally

949
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: talked to her. She's an extension of me and we talk.

950
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: There's no like um nine to five with us. It's

951
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: literally like to twenty four to seven days a week

952
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,280
Speaker 1: the way we work. And she has that same grind

953
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: that I have, and I just I love her for it.

954
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: And so I flew her out to um l A

955
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: when I was shooting my new safe music video last year.

956
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 1: UM and UM it was so crazy because like when

957
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: we saw each other, we hugged and we're like I've

958
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: known you for six years and I've never met you.

959
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: Mind you, She's been my assistant all this time. Like

960
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: literally all we do is spacetime. All we do is talk.

961
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: We literally have calls and we text and email all

962
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: day every day. So it didn't even feel like I

963
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: was meeting her for the first time, but it was.

964
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: And then I flew her again. Excuse me, I flew

965
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: her out again for my Different Rules video shoot. And

966
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: then she's coming out. She came out for the Chris

967
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: Brown concert, and UM, I mean, she's just I couldn't

968
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: do this without her. She's a big, big, big pardon

969
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: who Jilia is like everything. I mean, I literally I'm

970
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: so blessed. Like it's a secret gym that I refused

971
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: to share with anyone, because I mean, she's just she

972
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: was made for me. Um, I trust her with my life.

973
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: I literally trust her beyond anything, And I'm just blessed

974
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: to have, you know, someone like that that I could

975
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: trust and who wants to see me grow as well,

976
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: and you know, really understand the process and understand the

977
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: work ethic, and you know, she does so much stuff

978
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: for me in sense of making my brand in my

979
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: career grow and she loves it. She loves what she

980
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: does for me, Like she literally tells me all the

981
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: time it's her dream, Like she loves it. So I

982
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: know she's gonna be with me for life for sure.

983
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: Yeah she lives there. Yeah she's a year older than me.

984
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: So you don't see you don't ever see you guys

985
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:03,959
Speaker 1: like being like physically together all the time one type

986
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: of assistant. Um maybe, Like the thing is, it's so

987
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: crazy because it's just like we don't it feels like

988
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: she's next door to me. We don't need it. It's

989
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: not like she's a person who goes goes for hours

990
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: like she we talk all day every day, and I'm

991
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure if I unlock my phone right now, I

992
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: have a message from her, like since we just haven't

993
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: checked it, like we talk all day every day. And

994
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: so in a sense, I guess to really answer, I

995
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: don't need her like here next to me. Um, you know,

996
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: but who handles stuff like that? Like if you need

997
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: somebody that like with you to move around, like okay,

998
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: you're you're you're in you're in l a. Yeah you're

999
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: moving around. You gotta go to a party. Yeah, you

1000
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: don't just have your sex security you don't send your

1001
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: security on errand uh, you don't say your security to

1002
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: go and run to the store, for you can need

1003
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: somebody to go to store. Who you're saying, Um, Well,

1004
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: as crazy as it is, you know, I've never really

1005
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: like I have an assistant stylist. You're very close to blowing.

1006
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: I think I would have her if she Yeah, she

1007
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: would probably come because she's the only person I trust

1008
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: with it all. Um, whenever she came down. Um, she's

1009
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: really great with my parents too, Like she loves them.

1010
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: She's the sweetest girl ever. I think when it comes

1011
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: down to it, she'll she'll be the one to move

1012
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: to where I'm at for sure. Easy. Yeah, easy. I

1013
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: would definitely get her a place. And yeah, I don't

1014
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: want just anybody on my team and in my business.

1015
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: And you know, she knows everything business wise, and you know,

1016
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: business sometimes becomes personal. And she's been there all through

1017
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: it all. And it's just been a person who turned

1018
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: into family, who does my work. And it's just like

1019
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: I said, like her work ethic is just as much

1020
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: as mine. And you can't find that, like you can't.

1021
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: People are lazy and she's not lazy at all. She's

1022
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: not lazy anything. I don't know. She knows, and we're

1023
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: literally a missing like we're the matching puzzle piece to

1024
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: each other. And so I definitely think to answer your question,

1025
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just so hone in on like you know,

1026
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: just every day like working work and working working. I

1027
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: haven't thought like you know, once everything does really take off.

1028
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: But it would definitely have her. I would definitely have

1029
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: her come to where I'm at for sure. Yeah, Okay,

1030
