Speaker 2: you know, viral and famous office app called Instagram. Get

160
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: on there. And then from there, that's when I was

161
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: on Waller Alert Hollywood and like fighting myself on the street.

162
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: Then they put the Pokemon in me and then I'm

163
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: like fighting the Pokemon. Like that was twenty seventeen.

164
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, wow? That long ago.

165
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: So from there, I got my first brand ambassador, you know,

166
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: with the hair company, but I was still short off

167
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: my rent, you know, I was still trying to figure out,

168
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: like what do I do? So doing that and had

169
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: to go to work at film Field Marriott. So and

170
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: after that I got fired from that job, So I

171
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: just kept getting fired everywhere.

172
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: I was just like cause you wasn't wasn't, I wouldn't.

173
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: This is not what I wanted. I didn't want to

174
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: work for nobody. I just knew that what mom my

175
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: mom said and what I feel in my spirit is

176
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: gonna happen.

177
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: You ever notice how everything keeps going up? I mean

178
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: rent is going up, Streaming services are going up. Even

179
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: like your favorite burrito places all of a sudden wants

180
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: to charge you for salsa. You go to the supermarket,

181
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: they want to charge you extra for the bag. It's

182
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of crazy out here. The good thing is with

183
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: boost Mobile, you and your phone bill do not have

184
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: to play that game. You don't have to play the

185
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: will this go up soon?

186
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Game?

187
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Why? Because boost Mobile has an unlimited talk, text, and

188
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: data plan at a price that will never go up.

189
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: In fact, it's the same price you'll pay for life.

190
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: So switching out to unlimited wireless at a price that

191
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: will never go up only at boost Mobile after thirty gigabytes,

192
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: customers may experience slower speeds. Customers will pay twenty five

193
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: dollars a month as long as they remain active on

194
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: the boost Mobile unlimited plan. Did you ever do that? Like,

195
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of comedians they do like that first,

196
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, like stand up and just trying to

197
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: get on in the comedy clubs. You ever go that route?

198
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: I did, but I did Wilding Out first. I auditioned

199
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: for Wilding Out. I didn't make it. I done told

200
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: them I was DC young Fly cousin, I'm callous Miller

201
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: Auntie like, I was gonna say everything, but you didn't

202
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: make it. Not the first round and be someone made

203
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: it just hilarious made it. Everybody else made it or

204
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: set me. And you know, God took me back from

205
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: New York back to Charlotte, you know, and have me

206
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: in that kitchen doing skits with my body enrolled. And

207
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: I was doing that, and then after that I had auditioned,

208
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: and then they called me back twenty eighteen and said, hey,

209
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: b see, you know you're doing your thing. You know

210
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: your numbers are growing. You want to come back and

211
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: do this audition again. And when I got there, I

212
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: didn't have to do it. You know, I've been on

213
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: the season for eight seasons now.

214
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: So you and your phone create enough content to get

215
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: hired on a television show. Yeah, create enough content that

216
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: you're getting brands and making money off of Instagram. To me,

217
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: that's super inspiring, cause it's like it wasn't nothing but

218
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: you and your talent, right, you know what I'm saying.

219
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like some producer came in or some

220
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: people came in and spent money on cameras and this

221
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: and that. It was you. It's an Instagram on Instagram.

222
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: It's amazing love bonding and roll and bonding and a

223
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: roll in the kitchen. And you saw bonuses. You sell

224
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot of bonus, a lot of bonds. You did

225
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: a lot of I loved that for you, a lot.

226
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 2: Of bonus, a lot of roads. And then after that,

227
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 2: you know, wild'n out call back twenty eighteen, and then

228
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: that's when I've been on the show for eight season.

229
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: After that, those deals started happening within that that year.

230
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: We ask everybody on our show. We start with one

231
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: to ten. How happy are you on a scale of

232
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: one to ten. Ten, So you're like a happy person

233
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: most of the time. Yeah, what do you attribute that to?

234
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: I think just life. You know, like when you sit

235
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: back and you be like you are a really blessed girl.

236
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: Some days I used to be a one you know,

237
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: some days i'd be a one in or two, you know.

238
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: But I think now that I know like the formula

239
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: of everything, and I know like sometimes it just be you.

240
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: Nobody else is gonna fail you but you. So I

241
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: gotta give myself a ten to day because I've been

242
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: doing a job well done.

243
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Mm yeah, what do you mean nobody could do it

244
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: but you?

245
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Well, for me, it's it's like we always tend to

246
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: blame somebody else for our success, and sometimes the only

247
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: person that's failing you is you. You can't if I depend,

248
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: if I give my whole career to you, and I'm

249
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: over here like well you told me, No, you've actually been.

250
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: You've been.

251
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: You've been helping me, you've been encouraging me. You've been

252
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: telling me what I need to do, and I don't listen.

253
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: I don't follow through with it, and I'm not consistent,

254
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: and I'd rather do this then who is failing you?

255
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

256
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: Just me? I'm the one.

257
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

258
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: You come out your busy schedule to give me the formula,

259
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: the encouraging words, the investing and I don't know what

260
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: to do with it, Like yeah, no, all that. That's

261
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120

Speaker 2: my own issues and when I knew who he was

500
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,639

00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: was ready to get her gown and she was ready

736
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: to get her herself together. And I would never do

737
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: that again. My my, my, my father. Mama is still here,

738
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,960

00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: because I told.

744
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: My great grandmother I would come back, and I never did. MM.

746
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,880

Speaker 2: at the word shows. They don't say God no more.

878
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: When they say well, I just wanna think, they say God.

879
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: Some people say what'em do? Some of them do angie,

880
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: but some of them be like, okay, now the more

881
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: you know somebody, people be girl growing them in the

882
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,959

883
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: they don't even know him no more. M it happens.

884
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: And then you know when they on.

885
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: They bend and knee, then they say, hey, okay, God,

886

Speaker 2: gonna always say thing and a lot of people have

892
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: they still do that, but then some't and then they

893
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: expect it to just be that, and then you know,

894
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,239

Speaker 2: not just nervousness on stage, some people just sill forget

899
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 2: or people like pray before they get up there. Who knows,

900
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: but I know when I get them oscars, I'm gonna

901
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: be shouting and saying thank you Jesus, thanking God, you know,

902
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: because I know what it is. I just don't people

903
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: do forget. And I've and I've learned that from people

904
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: in your era who would call me and tell me

905
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: people do forget. So you need to stay and say

906
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: thank you God, you know, and and keep going. I
