He owns a uh a children entertainment company. 70 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: And he's from New York. But then we migrated to 71 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: Philly because um it had been a little bit cheaper 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: for some office space. Was like yeah, the big New 73 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: York ate the move. So so so your father was 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: was an entertainer.

Now, your father already got me inspired because 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm my my, I'm an entertainer. My my, what when 80 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: you stand up comic? That's how I started, before I 81 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: got into managing people and writing sitcoms. And because I 82 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: played a major role in my whole life, you know. 83 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: But being a magician, a black magician. Yeah, I'm not 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: even trying to brag, but my dad is so much 85 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: cooler than everybody else's dad. Well guess what. I want 86 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: to put him on one and making conversation. But let's 87 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: stay go on, just day, stay to you because he 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: made he built this brand through you, and you're great communicators. 89 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: And one of the things you wanted to talk about 90 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: was generational wealth. Let's talk about that, breaking breaking generational 91 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: curses of poverty. She puts her family in position to 92 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: run her companies as they build legacy together. The first 93 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: company to gain international success was the Sprinkle of Jesus App, 94 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: which is the media company which she then began to 95 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: branch off to need to need based front business and 96 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: build an empire of profitable sources of income. Yeah, I think, yeah, 97 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: I think what happened and really, just to put it 98 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: in a nutshell, because anyone listening, like, yo, you guys, 99 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't want you guys to just listen to this 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: and just be inspired enough to oh my gosh, that 101 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: was so cool, like it be inspired enough to actually 102 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: do something, you know what I mean. And so for me, 103 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: we learned really quickly with this social media generation. Of 104 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: course I was getting popular on social media, on Instagram, 105 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: on the Facebook. And it's only took one time, are 106 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: you listening very righty for this? It only took one 107 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: time for me to wake up and um, you ever 108 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: get you met him? Not gotten it? But there was 109 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: a little post on my phone and it said this 110 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: image has been deleted due to infringement on the Instagram policy. 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: And so immediately that rose a flag to me and 112 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: my father, and we're like, yo, we're building a brand 113 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: into business. But if your business is homeless, if your 114 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: business doesn't have a home, it's homeless. And so at 115 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: any point in time, your social media page can be 116 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: ripped from you. You are not the controller of that. 117 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: And so we built Sprinkle of Jesus app and we 118 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: started literally marketing. Um. We knew that it would gain 119 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: a lot of momentum. We started, um, you know, selling 120 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: in that purchases selling advertisement. It was just such a 121 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: profitable platform for the Christian community continue to share their gifts. 122 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: So for example, people um Christians with books who just 123 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: dropped businesses, they would advertise on Sprinkle of Jesus. And 124 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: then we were like, you know, I'm the oldest out 125 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: of nine, so more of my brothers and sisters were 126 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: coming to age. So we quickly said, okay, let's make 127 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: sure while building an empire, we each look at their 128 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: gifts and their talents unless put them in position of 129 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: what business we think would be good. So that you know, 130 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: because Sprinkle Jesus is based off of cool, that we 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: need to start building things that no matter what noble matter, 132 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: if I'm not on social me anymore, if you know, 133 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: God forbid I die today, that my family would still 134 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: be able to survive. And so what we did was 135 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: is we started building need based businesses in credit, in 136 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: um taxes and things that aren't going nowhere, you know 137 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: what I mean, like aren't going anywhere. And we started 138 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: being the biggest advertisers on the sprinkled je app with 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: over eight million people. Now you are first of all 140 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: you when I you're catching me off gold, your your energy. 141 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: You're you really I gotta catch up here with you 142 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: because you really this is not Can you come back 143 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: on my show?

And so you have my attention whenever. 148 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: Why are you laughing at your shot?

Then market back 171 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: to them and you get the reaction you want very fast. 172 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: That's what you think. Yeah, and I think yeah, And 173 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: I think for me, just as a young woman, right, 174 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: I understand I'm going to be in a constant state 175 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: of growth, evolution. And so for me, you know, you know, 176 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: I started out as people knew me as like kind 177 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: of the internet preacher, right, and then I became you know, 178 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: I showed people my life on you know, entrepreneurship and 179 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: leading a team and being a leader and being the CEO, 180 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: and then you know, I went through a natural hair 181 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: journey and then go ahead and and I built a um. 182 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm I'm just laying on it right now. 183 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm taking over the um, the beauty supply stores, that's happening, 184 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: that's going to happen soon. Um. But when it came 185 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: to things, I just realized that I was in a 186 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: consistate of evolution. And so what I like now, I'm 187 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: not gonna like later, which means that people like now, 188 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: they're not gonna like later. So when it came to 189 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: making sure at least I acquired the data who once 190 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: believed in me. That's like right now asking the reason 191 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: why these big brands pay celebrities to be the face 192 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: of their company. Because there's this sense of trust and likability. 193 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: So if I can control that and continue to feed 194 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: the customers and and and my followers and the people 195 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: and the downloaders new things, and they'll grow with me, 196 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: and so I'll never be starting at zero anymore. And 197 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: so that's what the app for us and has legit 198 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: made every single company that I've built a piece of cake. 199 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: We're right now jumping jack tax. We help people start 200 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: their tax preparation companies, and um, we already have just 201 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: the first six months.

Let's talk about uh, your career. Okay. Um. 291 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: So when I say Nigerian, yeah, okay and to England. 292 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: I was born in the UK to Nigerian parents, but 293 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: I lived in the Nigeria from the age of six 294 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: to thirteen before moving back to the ukn Okay cool. 295 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: So now you went to the accent there you know, No, 296 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: it's not now you're talking about last night the movie. Yeah, 297 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: well that that guy is a detective from South Central absolutely, 298 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: and so it's it's it's fun. It's fun being able 299 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: to portray all these roles. And so when I when 300 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: I was reading through your resume and it's just a 301 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: small party resume. You know, how do you prepare? Well, 302 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, my philosophy is to go to the character 303 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: rather than bringing the character to you. So you know, 304 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: it's it's what's on the page. Um. If it's a 305 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: fictional character, then you have to build that a bit more, 306 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: especially if they're an American character. I find someone who 307 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: is like that character, who's from the place that character 308 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: is from, in order to be able to build the accent, 309 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: to be able to build some of the idiosyncrasies. I'm 310 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: not from here, so I can't assume that I have 311 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: all the cultural information that you need for that role. 312 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: But if it's a historical figure, then there's a lot 313 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: more resource exactly. So you interview people, you read a lot, 314 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: you watch documentaries, you do the voice work as well. 315 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I tend to gravitate towards roles that 316 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: require a lot of work because I truly believe that 317 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: as an actor, the idea is to inhabit um, you know, 318 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: a human being the likes of which is not you. 319 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: That that that's what makes me feel like I'm going 320 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: to work. So let's let's just red after three movies 321 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: The Butler, which is different, Yeah, and then you had 322 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: The Help, Yeah, and then you have Planet of Rise 323 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: of the Planet of the Age, so different. How do 324 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: you prepare for each one of those? Well, you know 325 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: that the Butler, you know, I was playing uh some 326 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: Lewis gains in that forest. Whittaker and Oprah Winfrey's son 327 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: in that film. And I had to go from being 328 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: a teenager all the way through being in my in 329 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: my sixties for that. So that was a lot of 330 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: reading around history what was going on in America, especially 331 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: as it pertains African Americans in the fifties, sixties, seventies, 332 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: all the way through to the presidency of Obama. So 333 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: that that was exhaustive. But I actually had someone to 334 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: base it on that that that story was based on 335 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: a real um Butler and his son was still with us, 336 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: so I could speak to him and and so that 337 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: that that was fairly straightforward in terms of the work 338 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: that was required with that the help I was playing 339 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: a Southern Baptist preacher in the in that film, so 340 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: and that was a fictional character within a real context. 341 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: So I had to, you know, find a way to 342 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: generalize rum still be specific, but not necessarily have a 343 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: real person. And then the Rise of the Planet of 344 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: the Apes is just, you know, an action sort of 345 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: popcorn movie, but that, to be perfectly frank, requires less preparation, 346 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: less preparation, but a lot of work still because there's 347 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: a certain physical characteration, characterization that you have to give 348 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: and then you have to stay within the moment all 349 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: the time. And so so I would never say because 350 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: I can't act. I can tell the joke, okay, but 351 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: I can't get that. You know that not everyone knows that. 352 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, Rushan McDonald will not 353 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: showing for any acting classes because I tried paying a 354 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: lot of money and somebody told me this is not 355 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: what you do. And so so the movie that you 356 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: that I saw you and unfortunately your your team was able. 357 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: I came back specifically for this movie for the interview. 358 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: I wasn't watching the d C and UH and yesterday 359 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: and a Council Mark flight to go to Philadelphia today 360 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: because I said, an opportunity to sit down and talk 361 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: with a man of your immense talent. And when you 362 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: get an award, and what does that mean to you? 363 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: When you are when you receive an award, because you 364 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: know you've got the global globe, you get in double 365 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: atp ple iconic role of modein Luther King Jr. Which 366 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: means that they resonated with the African American community, which 367 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 1: had to be a proud moment for you. And so 368 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: when you get the Spirit Awards, So when you get 369 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: these awards at each level, that means something to you. Correct. Yeah, 370 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: in my what I do is a very subjective thing. 371 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: You know, one person will love that performance, the same 372 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: performance another person will hate it. Um it's it's art, 373 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's you know, the beauty is definitely 374 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: in the eye of the beholder. So when a group, 375 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: whether it's a certain academy or it's a it's an 376 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: award that you're being given because the public have decided 377 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: they enjoyed your performance. That's huge because it basically means 378 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: that this very subjective thing I do, more people than 379 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: not have liked it, and and and and that does 380 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: not always happen trust me. Um, So you know that's 381 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: it's it's incredibly encouraging. And a lot of what I 382 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: do as an is built on confidence. The more confident 383 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: you are, the more risks you're able to take, I think, 384 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: the more compelling the performances you can give. So it's 385 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: always encouraging when anyone acknowledges that you've done a good job. 386 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 1: Let's talk about why you're here today, because you're promoting 387 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: a movie that comes out August thirty. It's called Don't 388 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: Let Go, a bloom House Productions. And let me just 389 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: tell you if a little bit about blom Houses you 390 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: don't know, the last ten years they've produced over seventy 391 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: five horrible movies are intense dramas. I would call them 392 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: as well. Uh, some of the movies you know about 393 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: Happy Birthday, the Purge series, which is the first Purge 394 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: which I really liked, that just recently came up with, 395 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: had African American cast get Out. We all know about 396 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: that Halloween US. We all know about that Glass Black Clansmen. 397 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned these African American movies that after 398 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: consider this an African American start movie cast movie. Well, 399 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, I like to think of it as a 400 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: film that happens to have an African American cost. What 401 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: I love about what bloom Hunts is doing is that 402 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: some of their films center around raised some of them 403 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: are not US. For instance, you know that could have 404 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: been a white family exactly. It was actually written as 405 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: a as a as a white family was sitting Ohio, 406 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: not South central Los Angeles, and not with an African 407 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: American cast. And I think that the more of that 408 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: happens the better, really, because I think black film or 409 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: African American films. There are films that you could rightly 410 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: label as that, but instantaneously they are limited. It feels 411 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: like it's for a specific audience. It feels like it 412 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have a far reach. We've been told this life 413 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: forever that black doesn't travel and especially international. Exactly. Now, 414 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 1: can you imagine Jay Z or Kanye West Mousic being 415 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,239 Speaker 1: deemed black music. You know, it's just great music and 416 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: the world loves it. And I like to think of 417 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: that as what's starting to happen with films that have 418 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: predominantly African American cast or black cast or African cast. 419 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: They just just be deemed great movivies because a white 420 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: cost or or a film with a prominently white cause, 421 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: it's not called a white movie, right exactly, that's not 422 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: a movie. So you know, I think I think that 423 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: the getting beyond that is going to be huge for 424 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: the business side of of of making movies for African 425 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: Americans and black people generally, and brown people generally, because 426 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I don't think that's 427 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: white people watch movies, especially when you are going for 428 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: a broad audience. But it's really interesting because I'm older 429 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: than you and I grew up under the black export, 430 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: black exportation films, right, Well, these movies was specifically created 431 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: for the black market. You know, it was the it 432 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: was the black guy versus the whitey. You know, we 433 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: got it in our all purpose that we got over 434 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: now the whole theme of these movies. And you're absolutely right. 435 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: When I look at the movies, and I'm so proud 436 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: of that, I'm so proud that First Purge was the 437 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: highest grossing movie out of that series. That means that 438 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: it's sold overseas because I've follow international dollars and it's 439 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: important when I see, you know, and I'll be honest, 440 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: a Denzel movie destroys domestically, they don't push it overseas, 441 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: and so and there's a lot of it has to 442 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: do it not pushing it overseas, not putting you on 443 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: those press junkets, you know, in in England, in Germany, 444 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: in France, in China, in Korea, in Africa. These are 445 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: the junkets that get you those international eyeballs. And that's important. 446 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: How do you think we can break that? How are 447 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: you thinking it's just a system. It's just to keep 448 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: working at it, because that's what you're doing. You have 449 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: an international brand. You you appear in international movies, so 450 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: your name has cachet that helps correct I think it's 451 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy. If you decide something isn't going 452 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: to be a success internationally, it won't. You know, what 453 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: happens with studios a lot of the time is they 454 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: literally just decide, they decide who's going to be a star, 455 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: what's going to be a success, and they put the 456 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: dollars behind it to drive that success. And if on 457 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: top of that you actually have a good product, then 458 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: you really have something on your hands. I think we've 459 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: seen with some of those films that you mentioned earlier, 460 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: Get Out Us, you can add Black Panther to that. 461 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: These are all the kinds of films that traditionally what 462 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 1: what we were told that that's not gonna work. The 463 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: Butler that you mentioned earlier, we couldn't get that film made. 464 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: No studio wanted to make it. He ended up making 465 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy million dollars on a on a 466 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: I think twenty million dollar budget. If all those studios 467 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: had anticipated that amount of trust me, they would have 468 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: come on board absolutely. And that's what we're talking about. 469 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: On the show about to show that we're talking about 470 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: the producer of the movie Don't Let Go. Um. The 471 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: thing about the premiere this week, you got the trail 472 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: Blazer Award at the said premiered this week at the 473 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: Bronze Lands Films Festival. It premieres in the in the 474 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: theaters August. And when you got that honor, what ring 475 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: do you mind? Well? I sort of focused on the 476 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: phrase trail blazer. And the truth of the matter is 477 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: I I absolutely stand on the shoulders of several actors 478 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: who have gone before me, who have opened the doors 479 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: that I've looked through, a lot of them whose names 480 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: we don't even know because they had to work so 481 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: hard to break ground. That was so tough. Um. And 482 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm just so glad that I live in a world 483 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: now where someone like storm Read can be playing the 484 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: kind of role she gets to play and Don't Let Go. 485 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: That just wasn't happening when I was younger. You know, 486 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: she was fourteen when we made this film. The idea 487 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: that a fourteen year old girl can get this unity, yeah, exactly, 488 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: the arrange, the opportunity to be able to build a 489 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: career earlier. I mean, you mentioned Denzel Washington.

Respect that, but you know that I'm 566 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: gonna give an answer that allows him to think about 567 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: the process. And that's why our relationship work because I 568 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: don't want you to be What Roshan says is the truth. 569 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: Rashan is just getting your information. That's that's based on truth. 570 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: But then again, you have to make a decision based 571 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: on what you feel you can an achieve. Sometimes you 572 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: gotta walk out there if you walk out there and 573 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: it's successful. He guess what, Rashaan gave me a thought 574 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: process that made me think of little bit different on 575 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: how I should approach this, And that's why our relationship 576 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: get along. We listen to my show, I'm just giving 577 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: you nuggets. You know, because you walk a different path, 578 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: you get up on the different side of the bed, 579 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: and it's a different time zone. You may be listening 580 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: to this show. So what I'm saying may work differently 581 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: if you approach it differently. So that's why Cheff and 582 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: I get along.

Cool? 820 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: We go And so how how did that become a mission? 821 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: It became a mission for me in particular. So I'm 822 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: a general surgeon by training, but I specialize in weight 823 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: loss surgery bariatric surgery. So I see a lot of 824 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: patients who are kind of back the extreme of their 825 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 1: health based on their diet and lifestyle in general. Um. 826 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: And I'm seeing younger and younger patients or twenties, thirties, 827 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: forties with really debilitating disease. Um. But even through the 828 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 1: emergency room, I see a lot of young people with 829 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: really bad diabetes who are not diagnosed. And what I'm 830 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: finding is that a key component to the fact that 831 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: not only do we not eat well, um, but we 832 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: are not taught the importance of preventative care. So regular checkups, 833 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: basic eating habits, um. And it all goes down to 834 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: the foundation of health awareness and education. I think kind 835 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: of to start the discussion on taking you of yourself 836 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,240 Speaker 1: in an everyday basis better than what we're taught to Okay, 837 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 1: So what is the messages? What is not eating well? 838 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: What does that? I hit that a lot what is 839 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: that perfect? So it's uh, depending on who you talked to. 840 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: Not eating well has different parameters, but in general, our 841 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,800 Speaker 1: foods are overprocessed, they're full of preservatives, too much fat, 842 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: too many carbs. We can't afford fresh vegetables and fresh meats. Um, 843 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: So a lot of it is eating things that have 844 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: to stay on the shelf. It's in the packages in 845 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: a can which has the calories, but is devoid of nutrition. 846 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't have the vitamins that it needs to feed 847 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: ourselves to keep us healthy. So your entrepreneurs this whole 848 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: are this whole business concept? How did they come about? Well, Um, 849 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: we got married about a year ago and as a couple, 850 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,319 Speaker 1: we wanted to Okay, okay, you say that, but like 851 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: that was part of the business. It was part of 852 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: the bus because as a couple we were going to 853 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: not only love ourselves but try to get back to 854 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: our community and that was kind of a mission of 855 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: our our own, and um, we want to just find 856 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: a way to do that. So we started Pro Black 857 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: Health to kind of try to get back to the community. 858 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: But we found that we need a lot of resources. 859 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,479 Speaker 1: There's a lot of nonprofits and initiatives already that need resources. So, UM, 860 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: I was actually watching a shark tank show and um 861 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: it was a company that sold beach towels and each 862 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: one you bought helped clean up the ocean for marine life. 863 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, if we can do that for fish, 864 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: we could do that for black lives. Right. And so 865 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: my wife told me that of African Americans a vitamin deficient. 866 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 1: So I said, well, let's come up with something with 867 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: a vitamin company and then allow people to invest in 868 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: their health and also invest in their health. What is 869 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,320 Speaker 1: what is vitamin deficiency? What is that? So there's a 870 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: vitamin inadequacy and there's vitamin deficiency. UM. Vitamin deficiency means 871 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: that your vitamin levels in your blood are so low 872 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: that you have a higher chance of not functioning to 873 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,720 Speaker 1: your optimal potential UM, higher chance of getting a chronic 874 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 1: disease cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure. Then there's vitamin and 875 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: adequacy where you don't feel bad. But if you're an 876 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: adequate long enough and your levels keep going down that 877 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: gas in the gas tank, you'll be you will you 878 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: will stop running and go into deficiency mode. So we're 879 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: not running at our peak potential. Now, the thing about 880 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: it when I hear these different cars, the thing about 881 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: pro black and then people who just naturally eat what 882 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 1: they want to eat, don't care. Does every run into 883 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: the difficultures in the in the vision that you're trying 884 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: to put in place. Yeah, and that's where we went 885 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: without Pro Black Health because it means promoting health in 886 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 1: the black community. And so we're trying to change the 887 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: mindset and change the narrative and kind of make it 888 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: cool to be healthy and one of our slogans as 889 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 1: healthy as the New Ridge and um. And so we 890 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: did pro Black Health to kind of instill that pride 891 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: and doing it and pride in our health and hoping 892 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: that mission and that along with the vitamins take us 893 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,760 Speaker 1: to the next level of vitamins are just a vehicle 894 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,479 Speaker 1: to get people to think healthier and to help other 895 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: nonprofitsied initiatives promote health. So, you know, ain't the word healthy. 896 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 1: People kind of run from that, you know, because you 897 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: know that that sounds medical. I'm just talking really, you know, 898 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: because you know, I like people promote healthy food, you know, 899 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 1: and they're talking about calorie that they come up with 900 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: a little trick team trick words to get people health 901 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 1: means this, you know, and but you're selling the same products. 902 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 1: So I always know that when you say the word 903 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,240 Speaker 1: healthy people, Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. Oh, 904 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 1: I keep you these uh these childlings over here keeping 905 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,240 Speaker 1: this fried chicken is deep greased. You know it tastes 906 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 1: good to me. I don't know what you're talking about, 907 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: vitamin deficiency. I get up on time every day, but 908 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: you don't notice that. You you keep slowing down the 909 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: try in your body. And then that education I'm asking you, 910 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 1: the education part of this whole relationship is even more 911 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: important than actually getting people to tell to buy them 912 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 1: or healthy correct correct correct um. And that's why we 913 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 1: also have an apparel side to the brands UM with 914 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: slogans that just say pro black or pro black health 915 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:19,720 Speaker 1: UM or healthy is the new Rich. Because I can't 916 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: promise you that these vitamins are going to do anything 917 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: exhormably different than any other healthy routine that you would do. 918 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna beat you over the head and 919 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 1: say this is the only way to go. I just 920 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: want you to be in the mindset of your health 921 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: is your greatest asset. Right. So Steve Jobs, on his 922 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 1: deathbed would have given every penny away to be healthy again. Um, So, 923 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: whichever way you decide to do it, whether it's you 924 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,240 Speaker 1: exercise more or change your diet or put out soda, 925 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 1: we want to promote individual health because the big picture 926 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 1: is we're living in a time where we are unhappy 927 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: with the state of that's the African American community in 928 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: general politically. But how do you fight the good fight? 929 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,840 Speaker 1: How do you push your agenda or propel what we 930 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 1: want to change if individually we're not healthy enough to 931 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 1: do so. Right, So when you're one year ago marriage, right, Okay, 932 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: so you launched the business.

There's a good chance 939 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: that we're not the kid couple. But he's always felt like, 940 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: when I leave here, what am I going to leave behind? 941 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: So if you have children, your children can take your legacy. 942 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 1: So the business pro Black health is our legacy.
