00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 5: No, nothing like that. I just couldn't do it anymore.

34
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 5: It was really hurting my spirit. I just couldn't do it. Yeah,

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 5: that was really it.

36
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: People try to put you and pit you and Bose

37
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: against each other and they thought that.

38
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: We don't know why.

39
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: No, not at all, not at all.

40
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 6: I mean I met with Bose prior to her coming

41
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 6: onto the show for lunch.

42
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: We got along great. So No, it wasn't anything like that.

43
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 6: It was just I couldn't physically, mentally spiritually do it anymore.

44
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: I'm big on discernment.

45
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: How do you know, especially in this business, and something

46
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: does not agree with your spirit?

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 6: You know what, I've been really great about choosing me

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 6: when when I'm when I'm faced with something, I've done

49
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 6: it with you know, relationships. I've done it in other

50
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 6: places where I felt like, you know what, if I

51
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 6: don't choose me, it will probably not work out for me.

52
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

53
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,480

Speaker 5: Girl? I don't know that's on her.

57
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 8: Support of way, but you now, sudden when we had

58
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 8: Bows up here. I'd asked her about the unfollowing on Instagram,

59
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 8: because that became a whole thing.

60
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 9: You followed some of the ladies, all the.

61
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 5: Ladies when I left yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, when I left.

00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 8: And I mean people, the fans were commenting why they

63
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 8: thought it happened, and she said, and she thought, maybe

64
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 8: it was just like you know, you go through a breakup,

65
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 8: you just want to get rid of anything. That's exactly

66
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 8: the reason I just needed space. I just didn't, you know,

67
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 8: if you're I follow people who.

69
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 6: to support, and if you know, I don't see why

70
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 6: I need to follow you.

71
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to see what they're doing.

72
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: No, there's no need for it.

73
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 8: There was also the thing too of when Erica Jane

74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 8: and when Erica Jane and Bows were on Watch What

75
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 8: Happens Live and and he asks about you not returning

76
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 8: to the show.

77
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 9: Did you see that clip?

00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 5: I saw the clip? Yeah?

79
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,040

Speaker 5: Mean girls? M hmm, that's all.

81
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: What was the clip? Because me and l look at each.

82
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 8: Other, So basically he asked about how they felt about

83
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 8: Garsel and not returned to the show, and they were

84
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 8: silent and it was like nobody wanted to say anything.

85
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 8: And then when someone when Erica said something that was

86
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 8: like won't he do it? Like you know it was

87
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 8: it was like a there was a weird pause and

88
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 8: we were trying to figure out what that meant and

89
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 8: the fans hopped in the comments. When Bose was here

90
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 8: and sand And said that, uh, it was that there

91
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 8: was no support from her to you. She said that

92
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 8: that wasn't true, but did do you feel like she

93
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 8: supported you through that season?

94
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 6: You really don't want to go back there, honestly, I'm

95
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 6: here from my movie. I love that I'm selling shows.

96
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: I just would like to stay on a positive note.

97
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: One of them called you old, No, I don't know

98
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: what's going on.

99
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 8: People, and we were like we I think we attached

00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 8: to you so much on the show because we're in

101
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,279

00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 6: you know, I said, it's also your job that ain't me.

106
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 10: I'm still attached to Fancy and I know that I

107
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 10: know that you probably like look I ain't fancy no

108
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 10: more either, but.

109
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: I loved I loved that character.

110
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 6: I love that job, like I had never really done

111
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 6: comedy and meeting Jamie and you know, us having instant chemistry,

112
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 6: and we thought if we did thirteen episodes we would

113
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 6: have been golden.

114
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: We ended up doing a hundred episodes. Like, I mean,

115
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 5: it's unbelievable. I can't go anywhere.

116
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 6: Without someone saying fancy. He says when he's out there,

117
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 6: like where's fancy? So it's like people connected with that

118
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 6: and that it's a great thing.

119
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 5: That's how it was.

120
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 9: When you walked in a room.

121
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 8: I don't know if you heard me, I was like,

122
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 8: oh shit, right, yes, when you walk on my damn.

123
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 4: I can't wait to housewives questions.

124
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: He's not gonna let it go.

125
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 10: But God did it and God is doing it because

126
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 10: you have not only one movie, you have two films,

127
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 10: but you're up here for taking that which also your

128
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 10: production company actually shot that as Yes, that's amazing.

129
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: Congra, thank you so much.

130
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 6: I mean, doing this franchise, Black Girl Missing franchise has

131
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 6: been an amazing thing.

132
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 5: And that's what I'm so grateful.

133
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 6: For, for getting the platform to be able to put

134
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 6: out things that I think will help our community, help us,

135
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 6: And I was sick and tired of seeing the disparity

136
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 6: of when black and brown people go missing, that we

137
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 6: weren't getting the same coverage, we weren't getting the same

138
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 6: urgency or validation.

139
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: And we put out this.

140
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 6: Movie the first one, thinking that, Okay, if we can

141
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 6: get people to talk about it, that's a good thing.

142
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 6: And then the numbers went through the roof and it

143
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 6: was trending on Twitter at the time, and now we're.

144
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: Onto, you know, movie three. So it's been.

145
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 6: Really amazing and meeting amazing journalists who say, you know what,

146
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 6: we take accountability too because we can tell you who

147
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 6: the Jambonnets are, the Gabby Potito's, you know, the Natalie Holloways,

148
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 6: but we can't tell you the names of the black

149
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 6: girls because we're not featured like that.

150
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: And that's what we.

151
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 6: Want people to do, is to know who we are

152
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 6: when we go missing.

153
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 4: Girl missing movie subtitle is very intentional, Yeah, yes, very intentional.

154
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely.

155
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm sure you did a deep dive into

156
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: a lot of the young black girls that are missing.

157
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: If you can't break it down, because you know, I'm

158
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: a father of four girls. Yes, where is the biggest

159
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: place that these girls are taken for?

160
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: And what reason is it? The mall? Is it bus stops?

161
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: Is it coming from school?

162
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: Like?

163
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: What is the biggest so I can.

164
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 5: Be on actually everywhere, it's actually everywhere.

165
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 6: The second movie we did was called Abducted at in HBCU,

166
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 6: and we're really trying to teach the you know, not

167
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 6: only girls, but boys too, Like when you're in college, build.

168
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: A community, you know, so that if you.

169
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 6: Don't show up for classes for three days, somebody's gonna

170
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 6: go work, so and so like it's about having a community,

171
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 6: but it's also ringing the bell. And my niece has

172
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 6: girls in college, and she was like, you're scaring me

173
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: with your movies, and I go, I'm trying to scare you,

174
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 6: you know, just so that we're all aware, so it

175
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 6: can happen anywhere.

176
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: The malls. There are guys that groom the girls.

177
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 6: I mean, there's all kinds of ways of these girls

178
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 6: going missing. I mean I was just in Vegas at

179
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 6: the airport and I went to the bathroom and went

180
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: the minute I closed the stall. There's a whole sign

181
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 6: about if you're being abducted, if you're being travel so

182
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 6: it's everywhere.

183
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

184
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: Oh the week I took a picture because I just

185
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 4: thought it was it wasn't strange. But one of them

186
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: was like, if you're with somebody who wants to offer

187
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: you money, I was like what, yeah.

188
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, And they also target girls who you know, sometimes

189
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 6: are more vulnerable and maybe there's you know, people at

190
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 6: home are working so she's alone.

191
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 5: A lot, or there's you know, all types of ways.

192
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: So I just took that.

193
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 5: How about that.

194
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they said you said, didn't ask you one time

195
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: when you was with your daughter, didn't ask you?

196
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.

197
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: I was on the plane and uh when somebody came

198
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: on to the plane, is like if that's your daughter?

199
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I hope so.

200
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'm actually glad they're asking, right, Yeah, just

201
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: because it's so prevalent when we're you know, not everyone's

202
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 5: aware of that. Yeah.

203
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 9: In this movie, you talk about community.

204
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 8: In this movie, your community, your truck community shows up

205
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 8: for you in a big way, and it's through like

206
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 8: not that I don't want to give it away, but

207
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 8: they show for you in a big way.

208
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

209
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 8: What's the importance of not finding community but knowing how

210
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 8: to utilize it best in a high stake situation, like

211
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 8: once someone goes missing and the cops won't help.

212
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 6: You, right, and that okay, that's one of the things

213
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 6: I will answer your question. But like a lot of

214
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 6: families have to take it upon themselves to look for

215
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 6: their family members because they're not getting the support they need.

216
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 6: So with the trucking community, by the way, there's a

217
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 6: there's a group of female truckers that are like badasses.

218
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 6: And we take it for granted. These people are on

219
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 6: the road a lot, they're alone, they're missing out on

220
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 6: you know, birthdays and anniversaries and what they and their

221
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 6: job is dangerous. So we wanted to showcase that there's

222
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 6: a community in every sector of life, no matter what

223
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 6: you do and no matter what your profession is.

224
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: It's like, let people know, you know that you're around.

225
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: One of the female truckers called him men they pick

226
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: up lizards.

227
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 5: There there is that, Yes, yes, yes, yes, that is

228
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 5: the thing.

229
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 6: But you know what, I learned a lot like these

230
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 6: truckers when they go driver.

231
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: That's why like that he.

232
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 7: Is so okay, narrow minded.

233
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 5: Have you all been together across No?

234
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 7: No, no, but yes, no, I was not a lot

235
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 7: know all the zs they.

236
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: Were before me.

237
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 7: Thank you, go ahead, I'm sorry.

238
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 5: Tell me about your husband. Know how long has he

239
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 5: been doing it?

240
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 8: So he's been in the business for five years okay

241
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 8: or whatever. But like I met him three years ago,

242
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 8: so I was he was like two years into it

243
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 8: when I met him, and yeah, you know, we had

244
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 8: a couple of little lot of Liszt's hand there, you know,

245
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 8: but when I came in, they laughed.

246
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, just one.

247
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: To know what female truck drivers called the men that

248
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 4: they pick up, that's all.

249
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 8: You know what.

250
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: I don't know if they have a name for him.

251
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure she didn't do that research to do

252
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 7: this movie.

253
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 9: That's not it.

254
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 5: Why how do you deal with him being on the road.

255
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 10: I'm still trying to deal with it, okay, you know

256
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 10: because the schedule, with my schedule and his schedule, we

257
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 10: we're trying to figure out like how.

258
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 7: We can balance and then we have a one year old.

259
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 10: Oh so we're still trying to balance that and still

260
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 10: trying to be full time lovers.

261
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 7: That's very hard, very hard.

262
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: You should's Mexicans, so you know what everything going on

263
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: in the world.

264
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: Face It's like, why did I come this morning?

265
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 5: Are you talking about us? Yes, that's scary for everybody.

266
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: It's scary for everyone.

267
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 9: Is not really from ice R.

268
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 5: No, he's not.

269
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 3: The profile.

270
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 5: It's really sad. Yeah, it's a horrible place to be.

271
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 5: But that's another topic.

272
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: Why was it important to add the element of dealing

273
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: with an autistic family member?

274
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 5: We really wanted to.

275
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 6: There's so much misconceptions about autism and what that looks

276
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: like and what that is, and obviously there's different you know,

277
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 6: there's different stages of autism. So we really wanted to

278
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 6: showcase a character that is functioning. But that doesn't mean

279
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 6: that just because she has autism that she's irresponsible. And

280
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 6: but what happened was because she's autistic, she's dealing with

281
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 6: somebody online and you know, we all share too much,

282
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 6: and she shared too much and so then she gets

283
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 6: taken kidnapped.

284
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 10: So yeah, it was first and then you are the

285
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 10: cool badass. Okay, you know what was Okay? So this

286
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 10: is the first time I've ever seen.

287
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 7: A role like this.

288
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 10: I've never played a role like this, so preparing for

289
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 10: something so different, yeah you are you know what was

290
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 10: that preparation? It was really really fun because we got

291
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 10: to talk to a couple of professional female truck drivers

292
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 10: and what she taught us was really great. And one

293
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 10: of the actress who plays my my sister comes from

294
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 10: a trucking community too. But it was just all about

295
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 10: like safety and how to drive and how to get

296
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 10: in and out of the truck, which, by the way.

297
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 5: The trucks are so tall. By the end of shooting,

298
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: the back of my thighs were kneeling just from jumping

299
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 5: up and down.

300
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 6: But it was just a fun role because it was

301
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 6: like something different from me.

302
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I really enjoyed it.

303
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 10: Even the fighting choreography, even listen, I loved it.

304
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 7: Okay, that was good.

305
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: How does this affect you as a parent as a

306
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 2: mom now because you have young men, Yeah, that out

307
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: and about in college, in school, dating, How.

308
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 5: Does that af It affects me? And I'm much more aware.

309
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 6: But I've always had conversations with my kids. One because

310
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 6: I have black kids, even those sometimes they look like

311
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 6: they could be you know, But I've always talked to

312
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 6: my kids, especially Oliver, about being respectful if you're the cops.

313
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: Come to you, or just being out in the world.

314
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 6: You know, how to navigate being a black young man

315
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 6: and being respectful and because people will have misconceptions of you,

316
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 6: just because I remember I was in a supermarket with

317
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 6: my son, Oliver, and he went to go get something

318
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: and I was in another lane, and as he's coming around,

319
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 6: I was at the end of the aisle, and so

320
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 6: in between us was this older white woman and the

321
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 6: minute she saw Oliver, she clutched her purse and she

322
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 6: got You could tell she got tense.

323
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 5: And I thought to myself, if anything happened.

324
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 6: To you, he would be the first one to come

325
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: and help, you know.

326
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 5: But it's just the It's just how we're seeing sometimes,

327
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 5: you know.

328
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 3: How do I think we should have told people when

329
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: they do that, be like, I don't want it this fake?

330
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 10: But how did he feel about that? Did he share

331
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 10: it with you? How he felt about that?

332
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: Or did he Yeah, he just kind of like brushed

333
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 5: it off, like, you know, I don't even know if

334
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 5: he realized it. But I saw it because I saw

335
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 5: him coming, you know. Yeah.

336
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 8: Why was it important for you guys to include the

337
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 8: domestic violence element in the movie in align with the

338
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 8: trucking world? Was there like research that you saw that

339
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 8: parallel to time?

340
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, not at all.

341
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 6: I think the writers just you know, got you wanted

342
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 6: to put that in. There wasn't any It wasn't intentional

343
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 6: in terms of like we had to do that. I

344
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 6: think it was just to show like where Kai came

345
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 6: from and why she was so connected to her niece

346
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 6: because she didn't have children of her own, and so

347
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 6: that was really a way of setting that up.

348
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 8: And I like the way, like as the big sister,

349
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 8: it's like the world is on your shoulders, but yeah,

350
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, but you're handling it. And

351
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 8: then when you reveal certain things about yourself in the movie,

352
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 8: it shows you as human too.

353
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 5: Oh thank you. Yeah.

354
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 6: I mean I love the fact that we had like

355
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 6: that sister complicated complex relationship. We loved each other, but

356
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: there was still friction like in real life. And then

357
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 6: I also loved my relationship with my niece too. I

358
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 6: think there's a sweet side of how she looked up

359
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 6: to her and their bond, which I thought, you know,

360
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 6: was nice.

361
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: When you and the producers get around, y'all, E was say, man,

362
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: we're tackling a lot of themes, right you. Yeah, pratic violence, stalking,

363
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: and the lack of honorability in black women, like do

364
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: you ever think yourself, Okay, maybe this film that too

365
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: many nuanced.

366
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: No, we didn't think of like because I think life

367
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: is complex.

368
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 6: I think I don't think everything is just streamline and

369
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: everything's perfect. So in telling this story, we felt like

370
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 6: that was okay and it worked without being heavy handed

371
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,479
Speaker 6: or you know, hitting.

372
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 5: You over the head. It just it felt like it

373
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 5: it could be real. Yeah.

374
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 10: What does it mean to you to have a legacy

375
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 10: network like Lifetime amplify these black stories?

376
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, it means everything. I mean when we brought

377
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 6: them the first Black girl missing, they.

378
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 5: Got it right away.

379
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 6: They were like, how soon can we can we show

380
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 6: this and can we you know, get behind it.

381
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 5: It was really great because a lot.

382
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 6: Of times people don't want to deal with the heavy stuff,

383
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: you know, but obviously Lifetime deals with, you know a

384
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 6: lot of things. But they they understood the assignment and

385
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 6: I'm grateful for that.

386
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: And now we're on movie three, so it's a good thing.

387
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: Do you like do you enjoy the acting part? Do

388
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: you enjoy reality part? Do you enjoy the EP part?

389
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: What's your favorite?

390
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: Oh?

391
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 6: My favorite is being a talk show host because I

392
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 6: did the real for I did the reel and before

393
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 6: the reel, I was up for the view and I

394
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 6: did Hollywood Today Live. I mean, that's my that's my wheelhouse.

395
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: But I love I mean, I'm a Sagittarius.

396
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: We get bored easy.

397
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: So I'm getting up and doing the same thing every

398
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: day and all that every day that that doesn't.

399
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 5: Like doing different things, you know what I mean.

400
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 6: I enjoyed the reality for EVERYBODJ.

401
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that's happening.

402
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 9: It looks so good. You're setting things off.

403
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make you feel good. I

404
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: don't know what's happening.

405
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 5: But anyways, I like doing.

406
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 6: I like doing, challenging myself and doing all kinds of things.

407
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 6: But you know, producing now I'm really enjoying and going

408
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 6: into a room and pitching to networks.

409
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a new side of me that if

410
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 5: somebody told me when I first started this industry that

411
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 5: I would be doing that, I'd be like, there's no way,

412
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, I really enjoy it. Yeah, because I didn't

413
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: see that because we weren't really allowed back then. If

414
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 5: you were an actor, you were in that lane, you know,

415
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 5: and things are different now, so it's been really cool

416
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 5: to just you know, so.

417
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 4: Even when you saw black producers, black writers, black directors

418
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: back then, you never thought it was no wow, No.

419
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 6: I never I mean I thought, Okay, I'm acting and

420
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 6: I'll continue doing that. But I didn't see another road

421
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 6: after that. In terms of producing. I don't want to direct,

422
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 6: that's not my thing, but producing I really like.

423
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 8: Do you deal with an element of like imposter syndrome

424
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 8: sometimes when you're walking into those drums because you never

425
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 8: kind of saw it for you.

426
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: I just said that to a girlfriend of mine.

427
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 6: You know, I walk into like, you know, going into

428
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 6: Netflix and Hulu and ABC and pitching shows, and I

429
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: walk it out and I'm.

430
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: Like, who the fuck do I think?

431
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: I guess right?

432
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 6: But I think sometimes you like, I couldn't. I couldn't

433
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 6: have dreamt this big, you know, coming from Haiti, not

434
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 6: knowing the language, you know, learning English, watching Sesame Street, Like,

435
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 6: I didn't know that all these things were possible.

436
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 5: So I think that's the beauty of it is. Uh

437
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 5: Now I'm like, Wow, that's incredible. And my kids can

438
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 5: see that. You know, I can be a mom, but

439
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 5: I can also be all.

440
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 6: These other things too, Yeah, which I think it's important

441
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 6: for your kids to see absolutely what was it stressful

442
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 6: for you at any moment because you didn't only start

443
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 6: in the movie, so you had learn lines and everything,

444
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 6: but like you produced it and then your production company

445
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 6: had so you had to wear so many different heads.

446
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. I mean we tried to make all.

447
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 6: The important decisions obviously before we started production, and then

448
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 6: once I was on set, I was strictly an actor

449
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 6: because that was important for me to just stay there.

450
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, especially since it's a role that I

451
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 5: haven't done before. But but yeah, it's been really fun.

452
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 5: It's been really kind of cool.

453
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 7: Are you casting for any upcoming projects? Do you want

454
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 7: to absolutely? I want great absolutely to tell you look

455
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 7: like and that's about Taylor to a girl.

456
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 5: Yes, it's amazing.

457
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 7: And my father and your father.

458
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: That's good, he is the father.

459
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 7: Yes, but I would love to audition.

460
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 5: I love that absolutely.

461
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: What's your favorite form of storyteller?

462
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: Out of all out of the reality, I mean, out

463
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: of the talk shows, reality TV, the.

464
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: Movies, my favorite. I mean, I think again it goes

465
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 5: back to, you know, hosting and talking to people because

466
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: I love, I'm curious about people, and so that's I

467
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 5: guess my top thing. But after that, I you know acting.

468
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: Also, Yeah, do you feel pressure to as a producer

469
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: that one day have to tell a story from Haiti?

470
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 5: You know, I've wanted to. I've done.

471
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 6: My first producing job was a short that I did

472
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 6: about sex trafficking, and it wasn't so much about Haiti,

473
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 6: but we shot part of it in Haiti. And I

474
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 6: would love to. I would really love to. I feel

475
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 6: like we can't get a break.

476
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: So much rich history in that country, a lot of misconceptions, so.

477
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: Much, so much.

478
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like.

479
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 6: It's been decades centuries since we've had hardship, and every

480
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 6: time we think we're gonna get to a better place,

481
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 6: we're knocked down.

482
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 5: So it's it's really discouraging and hard to watch.

483
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: I didn't know you could speak English when no.

484
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 6: I couldn't speak a lick ofst I moved in January,

485
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 6: didn't speak a word of English, never seen white people,

486
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 6: and we moved to Massachusetts in January.

487
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: You are starting, Yeah.

488
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 6: So I watched, Yeah, I watched Sesame Street and learned

489
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 6: a apple b banana and yeah, I was seven.

490
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 9: When did you discover the arts? And we're processing?

491
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 6: You know, I always wanted I've always like would put

492
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 6: on little shows for my family.

493
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 5: So I always had it in me.

494
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I didn't discover I was discovered as a model.

495
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 5: When I was seventeen.

496
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 6: We moved to Miami because my mom couldn't take the

497
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 6: weather anymore in Boston. So I a friend of mine said,

498
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 6: do you want to be an extra in a commercial?

499
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 5: And I was like, what's an extra? And he goes

500
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 5: it pays seventy five dollars a day for two days.

501
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 6: I was like, count me in. That was like big

502
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 6: money back then. And I was in this commercial by

503
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 6: the second day. There was a black, pretty black girl

504
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 6: that was a principal talent, and I went up to

505
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 6: her and I go, how do I do what you're doing? Like,

506
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 6: I don't want to be an extra? How do I

507
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 6: do that? She wasn't having it, so I found out

508
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 6: she was with this agency in Fort Lauderdale. I asked

509
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 6: my mom to borrow her car. I drove up to

510
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 6: Fort Lauderdale. I didn't have pictures, I didn't have an appointment.

511
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 6: I didn't know anything, but I thought somebody's gonna tell

512
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 6: me something. So I'm in Fort Lauderdale. I stop at

513
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 6: a red light. I poked my head out to chet

514
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 6: check my makeup in the mirror. So I do that,

515
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 6: and then I'm reaching for my lip gloss in my

516
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 6: bag on the passenger seat and a hand.

517
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 5: Comes in the car and scares a shit out of me.

518
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 6: And it was the woman behind me. She got out

519
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 6: of her car at the red light. She gives me

520
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 6: a card and she goes, you should be a model.

521
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 6: And it was the agency I was going to without

522
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: an appointment, without oh wow, okay, look at you couldn't

523
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 6: have scripted it.

524
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: So now I show up and I got a car.

525
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 6: And so now I'm like and they tested me, they

526
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 6: got pictures. I did test shoots with photographers, and about

527
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 6: nine months later Iileen Ford of the Ford Modeling Agency

528
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 6: was scouting all over the country and they asked ten

529
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 6: of us to come and meet with her. And I

530
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 6: met with Eileen Ford and she said, you should come

531
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 6: to New York.

532
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 5: And I moved to New York at seventeen.

533
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 6: The models apartment was full, so I lived with Eileen

534
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 6: Ford and her husband Jerry on seventy first in Madison.

535
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 6: Didn't know anything, And that's how my modeling career started.

536
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 7: And how crazy you become fancy and Jane faction.

537
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 5: Well, I started.

538
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 6: I moved to LA by then, and they were auditioning

539
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 6: girls and every time I had a modeling gig that

540
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 6: I had to do, so I kept on canceling the

541
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 6: audition and finally they were like, you've got to come in.

542
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 6: So I go in. And at the time that was

543
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 6: when the R. Kelly Downlow video was out right with

544
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 6: mister Biggs and myself. Yeah, and Jamie came up to me. Well,

545
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 6: I was waiting in the lobby. He goes, you know

546
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 6: how much I requested that video because that's when you

547
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 6: had the request videos.

548
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 5: And so I went in.

549
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 6: We read and I thought, you know, there were other

550
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 6: girls that were by far know acting, had more acting

551
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 6: ability than me, and.

552
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 5: So I left thinking, Okay, at least I did it.

553
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 5: And then when I got the job, I was like, wow, yeah,

554
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: that's crazy.

555
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 6: And we hit it off and we've been friends ever since.

556
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 6: I was at Karen's wedding recently.

557
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 5: And he's a good man.

558
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 7: So even big then, right, you don't never have like

559
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 7: a little crush on Jamie.

560
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we both had a crush on each other,

561
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 6: but we said we weren't going to do anything, and

562
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 6: I got engaged two weeks before we wrapped, and he goes,

563
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 6: you couldn't wait.

564
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 7: I did ask that Chi would question.

565
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 10: I don't know, because chemistry was yeah, we did.

566
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: I want to talk about the power community real quick,

567
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 4: because you said you moved from Massachusetts to Miami.

568
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: I didn't move into Miami.

569
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 4: And being around more people that look like you, and

570
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: I'm sure more Haitians give you give you a confidence book.

571
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: It was everything.

572
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: It was everything because one my mom wanted to be

573
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 6: closer to Haiti so she could visit family. But going

574
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 6: to school with kids that had hair like me, that

575
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 6: look like me, I mean, it just changed everything. But

576
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 6: when I first went to school, they were like, oh,

577
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 6: she thinks she's white.

578
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 5: But that's because I.

579
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 6: Learned English, you know, in Massachusetts. Right, So, but it

580
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 6: was everything. It changed, It changed everything. I felt like

581
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 6: I finally belonged, you know, because when I first went

582
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 6: to school in Massachusetts, I was the only black girl.

583
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 6: They would touch my hair, they would, you know, grab

584
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 6: my hair. They didn't they had never seen someone like me.

585
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: Did you shrink in Massachusetts?

586
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 5: I don't know if I shrink because I was so young.

587
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if I knew that, if that was happening,

588
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 6: you know, but I still flourished, you know, I was cheerleading,

589
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 6: I was dancing, so my mom made sure to keep

590
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: me busy.

591
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: How do your kids deal with it now, because it's

592
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: kind of the same as when you were in Massachusetts.

593
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: Right, Well, it's different now.

594
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, they would go to school with

595
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 6: black kids, you know there, Yeah, it's not a their

596
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 6: dad took my ex husband took one of my sons

597
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: to a hairdresser and he was like, only a black man's.

598
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: Got my hair.

599
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 6: Now.

600
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 5: I was like, I hear you, I get it, I

601
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 5: get it.

602
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 8: What do you want people the family members and the

603
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 8: friends of people who may have been abducted and you know,

604
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 8: have went through these experiences, they're family members and friends.

605
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 8: There's a level of like guilt that can happen sometimes

606
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 8: in those situations. What do you want them to the

607
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 8: message for them to take from the movie.

608
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 6: The message is really is that we want them to

609
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 6: be seen, we want them to get help.

610
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, things happen. You can't feel guilty.

611
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 6: For that, you know, I think no matter how well

612
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 6: you watch your kids, I mean, things are going to

613
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 6: happen in life, right, But it's really about this movie

614
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 6: is starting a conversation making sure the families that have

615
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 6: missing family members know that they're being seen and that.

616
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 5: They should be helped, just like everybody else. And I'm

617
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 5: not saying we don't need to help other people.

618
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 6: I'm just saying I want us to have the same emergency,

619
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 6: the same compassion. Don't say, let's wait for two days

620
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 6: they'll come back, because we all know the first forty

621
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 6: eight hours the most crucial. Don't say all they're on drugs,

622
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 6: they're runaways, Like, give us the benefit of the doubt

623
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 6: as well.

624
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 5: That's important to me.

625
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: And one of the worst places that I've witnessed it

626
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: was LA.

627
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: If there's a missing person, it seems like they will

628
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: wait till the last minute. It got to the point

629
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 2: where my wife's friend she actually passed, but we were

630
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 2: calling and calling.

631
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: Please go by the house, check the house, this, that,

651
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 6: There was a big publication that just did a ten

652
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 6: page spread on John Bennet Ramsey, who's been dead twenty years,

653
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 6: and we've never had anything like that.

654
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 8: I don't know if you've been seeing the news amount

655
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 8: of Kata Scott, the young girl who was found dead

656
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 8: in Philly. I remember when her story first broke. It

657
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 8: was only I was watching it on like the local

658
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 8: and my grandmother called me about it, and then I

659
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 8: remember I started seeing other outlets pick it up slowly,

660
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 8: but it was just you know, just seeing when I

661
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 8: was watching the movie yesterday, I thought about her story

662
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 8: because it was it took some time for people to

663
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 8: even know what was happening with her, and they were

664
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 8: begging for the public to help and they needed help

665
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 8: to find.

666
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 10: Her, or even the documentary I just watched not too

668
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 10: missing for what it would be now, for like twenty years,

669
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 10: you know, and but not no slight to her and

670
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 10: her family or anything like that. But it's like, we

671
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 10: don't get documentary. People don't look for us that long,

672
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 10: you know, if they ever do, they just move on.
