44
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Why an award show this year? Tell us about it? Well,

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: we've actually had an awards show, Rashawn for nine of

46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: our years. The first year, um, we get our awards

47
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: show at a club and we name the winners and

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: called up. But by that second year, we knew we

49
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: had something special and we needed to honor these people

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: in in the in the correct setting. But it has

51
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: really he's grown every every year since we've been at

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,040

Speaker 1: And UH just so tremendously excited about it because it's

55
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: a concept this year that I've wanted since we started,

56
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: which was to have that kind of setting kind of

57
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: like the SAG Awards, where there's some tables that are

58
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, people are sitting around the tables and then

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: there are others where their seats around them, and so

60
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: we actually will have that kind of look to the

61
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,560

156
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: you're out there at the forefront of being able to

157
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: promote of uh you know, projects of people of color

158
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: getting there, to get the ideas out there, because if

159
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: we carry a major value at the box office. You know,

160
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: people know that African Americans or minorities watch TV, but

161
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: at the box office we are a force because when

162
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: you go to the box office, Mojo or deadlines there

163
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: breakdown the percentage of people uh ethnicity they go to movies,

164
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: they said, like, was af Caucasian white, or they said

165
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: was African Americans. So they do play up. They do

166
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: understand the value of who watches certain types of movies,

167
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: and that's why it's important. What you're doing is amazing

Speaker 1: Correct um this movie the title Overcomer. Now you played

271
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: the principle. I saw the movie so we can talk

272
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: about it. I weren't talk in much detail because it's

273
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: the movie. It's a two hour movie, and I'm recommending

274
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: everybody to go see it. And it was there was

275
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: three times. I will admit I'm an emotional guy when

276
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: it comes to these type of movies. It was three

277
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: points in the movie. I will admit I started tearing up,

278
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: and she was at the lake and she found herself.

279
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: After you delivered that preser session with her. You know,

280
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: it told her how values and she was sitting it

281
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: in the water was running by, and you know she

282
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: you could tell her she was being spiritually enhanced and

283
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: that that that that that got me right there, that

284
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: moment right there, because that's what these movies. I'm proud

285
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: of you for admitting. I'm proud of you for admitting

286
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: your emotionalism, sir. Okay, if you don't get to the

287
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: yet now Okay, Now, the thing about it is that

288
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell the third session, but we're gonna

289
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: talk about so people are gonna understand why why am

290
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I inspired by this move? Why am I being motivated

291
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: by this move? And why am I recommending this move?

292
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about the move from your

293
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: perspective and why it's such a great movie. Absolutely, well,

294
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: you know what I love about the Kendrick brothers. Um

295
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: I was about to say they're filmmaking, but it really

296
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: is ministry. That's what I love about it is that

297
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: you're not just going to be entertained. You're not just

298
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna have technical excellence. But you know we've seen with

299
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: Courageous and then with Our Room facing the giants and

300
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: now with overcome er that it's ministry and so it

301
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: is an unapologetic gospel film, just by the war Room

302
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: was and um. The premise of the film is that

303
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: there are several characters, one main character named Hannah, she's

304
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: a fifteen year old girl, who are all going through

305
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: their own bits identity crisis and um. They all sort

306
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: of come to this reality that their significance has been

307
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: illegitimately tied to something like success or career or um.

308
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: In Hannah's case, you know, he's a teenager who of

309
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: us aren't trying to find ourselves when we were too,

310
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: you know. And then it's compounded by the fact that

311
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: she's been kind of left my parents. She's feel displaced

312
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: in her life, and she's really trying to navigate through

313
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: all of that. And so, in a very emotional way,

314
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: all of their stories get connected and tied together, and

315
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: they learned that you better have your significance, like you

316
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: said earlier in this program, you better have a tie

317
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: to something that does not change. This is amazing. Like

318
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: my daughter, she's twenty two, she's a junior in college

319
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: at the University of Houston and UM, and you know,

320
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: just a beautiful child and so did you say University

321
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: of Houston. Yes, ma'am, that's my alma mater. All you

322
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: gotta do is to keep talking to this family, this family.

323
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: I love this family. Okay, I'm a Cooper. Now you walk,

324
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: you walk outside that little the stadium. My name is

325
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: said right on that tiger that cooler right there, Rashard McDonald,

326
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: because I believe in my state. Now now she's over there,

327
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, she's you know, she's she was a farmer.

328
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: Uh I could say, uh, star and tennis as a

329
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: as a tennis prodigy. And then she blew out her kneed.

330
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: And this is where the whole process of faith and

331
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: leaf and the whole dreams changed. And you know, and

332
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: from you know, if she had been hitting the tennis

333
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: right and since she was six years old and so

334
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: and to get refocused, you have to have people around

335
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: you guiding you. So when I when I you're talking

336
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: about this book, how does the Is the book written

337
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: for somebody like my daughter or is it written for

338
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: the parents? Oh? No, it's written for your daughter. It

339
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: is written so that a woman at that stage and

340
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: that age of life can grab hold of this book,

341
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: can read something that is friendly read or friendly. In

342
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: other words, they don't feel like school work to them.

343
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: They will enjoy the realities that I share um that

344
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: are you know, captivating because they can relate to it. So,

345
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: for example, one whole chapter is called my hair story,

346
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: and then in parenthesis, what's your story? And I just

347
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: talk about my my own struggles with enjoying the fact

348
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: that I am in my natural self, created in the

349
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: image of God, which means I don't have to chemically

350
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: alter myself to fit in with the paradigm of sameness

351
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: that is celebrated in our culture as a standard of beauty.

352
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: And and in other words, that was my struggle my hair.

353
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: But I kind of opened that up than the question

354
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: to the reader what's your story, because all of us

355
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: have in our physicality and in our personality something that

356
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: maybe the culture hasn't celebrated, or where we have felt

357
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: rejected or teased because we don't look a certain way,

358
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: or our hips are wider than another, or our nose

359
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: is more broad than another, and we wanted to be different.

360
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: And so I just talked about how we are literally

361
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: created in the image of God, and that every aspect

362
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: of our uniqueness is intentionally designed to reflect God in

363
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: a way to our sphere of influence, in a way

364
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: that can't be done unless we just go ahead and

365
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: be ourselves. So God intended for us to look this way.

366
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: And so the book again is designed for a young

367
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: woman to be able to grab hold of it, read it,

368
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: and enjoy seeing herself in everything single chapter. That's important

369
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: because of the fact that I constly talked to my

370
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: daughter about who she is and what she can be about,

371
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: never never um talking about her physical appearance, uh, never

372
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: engaging it as a point. You know that she should

373
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: be concerned about how how she needs to look. You know,

374
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: I talked about being a professional, how she needs to

375
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: show up for work when she goes to work, she

376
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: needs to show up for an interview, when she goes

377
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: to church. But her everyday life should be her own path.

378
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: And so when I hear you talk talk about the

379
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: importance of allowing young ladies with proper guidance to be

380
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: young ladies, absolutely well Again centers in on really having

381
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: a discussion with the Lord over the course of your life,

382
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: to say, Lord, on a consistent basis, Lord, what is

383
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: it that are your priorities for me in this season

384
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: of life? And then to be tender enough to just

385
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: kind of take counsel with that inner conviction. I mean,

386
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit speaking to us all the time. If

387
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: we'll pay attention, there are little things of conviction. When

388
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: we're headed in a direction that don't feel right. There

389
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: are little um nuances of peace even when we're you know,

390
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: headed in a direction that other people don't applaud, but

391
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: it just settles well on the inside of us and

392
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: aligns with His word. If won't pay attention, we'll find

393
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: that he is guiding us into the direction of God's

394
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: will for our life. But that means we have to

395
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: be women who and men who choose to continually ask

396
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: God Today, Lord, I'm surrendered to you in this season

397
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: of my life, like for your daughter in my college career. Lord,

398
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm surrendered to you. So I'm gonna keep touching base

399
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: with you to let you know that I've surrendered my

400
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: full self, my mind, my body, my emotions, my ambitions.

401
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: I've surrendered them to you for your purposes. And then

402
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a moment to pause and check

403
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: the direction of the Holy Spirit on the inside of

404
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: me as you lead and guide me into your will

405
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: for my life. Okay. Now, so, um, I need to

Speaker 1: The movie there moved me and I uh and I

00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: here to do a job, and so when I look

418

Speaker 1: at stuff, I have to be professional and and and

Speaker 1: the people were taking their time to come on my show.

422
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: And when I watched things like that, movies that affect

423
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: me as I go through because I'm not I don't

424
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: even I don't have any reviews on this movie, you know,

425
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I may not know all the actors

Speaker 1: way this book radiant. I didn't even see this from coming.

434
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: And it impacts young women today who with social media

435
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,480

Speaker 1: read this. You know, she read everything else. Why not

442
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: read this? Because this is an important seed in her

443
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: growth and her emotional growth or physical growth, and more

444
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: importantly her spiritual growth. Well, man, I sure do hope.

445
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: So I have prayed to that end that the Lord

446
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: would take every word and would use it to encourage

447
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: a woman that's coming along up behind me. Awesome, what

00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: that old you know statement that you know, we're just

523

Speaker 1: for the business and the art. Yeah, and it has

525
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: social media changed that it was just always there, but

526
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: social media just helped to get there faster. You know what.

527
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: I I believe both. I believe it was always there.

528
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: I've always been. My brother used to have his own

529
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: going joke when I was I was very young, and

530
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: he would saying, you are the richest person I've ever

531
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: seen with no job. But I always found a way,

532
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: even when I was younger, you know, to to make

533
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: a means for myself outside of what my parents provided.

534
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: I felt that it was very important, um, that I

535
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: do something to provide for myself. And it started at

536
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: a very young age. But I will say this, um

537
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: with social media, back when I released my first independent

538
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: project that a lot of people still asked about to

539
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: this day. Honestly, you know, I did it all. I

540
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: started my own website, I put my own record on

541
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: tune Core. You know, I did all of the groundwork

542
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: and I will forever um respect those days. I believe

543
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: that I am able to do what I do now

544
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: because I did the groundwork then. And so I put

545
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: that album out on my face. At the time, it

546
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: was my Space, YouTube and iTunes, and that album just

547
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: really blew my mind. I didn't think so many people

548
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: would respond, and so honestly, yes, it's it's dual. I am.

549
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: I've always had like this entreprepreneurs thing on me, but

550
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: also social media helped me to push and to market

551
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: my brand. It's really interesting because a lot of people

552
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: used to worry a blessing us faith or going out

553
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: on faith. But it's also about effort and also believe

554
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: it in yourself and this is your vision because a

555
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: lot of people can tell you you're wasting your time.

556
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: And I know I've heard that a lot of my career.

557
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sure if people have told you you you

558
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: looked this way, nothing's gonna happen for you, you talked

559
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: this way, nothing's gonna happen for you. And why you

560
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: put that on my space? Don't abody know you? Don't

561
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: nobody know you? And so and so. Isn't it amazing

562
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: that you you you put your music? You're not known artists,

563
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: and hustle got it out there called on favors? And

564
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: what did happen when you start seeing the views the plays?

565
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: What was that? What was running through your mind when

566
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: that was happening? You know what? And I think I

567
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: have to go back to something you said, because that

568
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: is so true about having faith. Yes we have faith,

569
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: for the Bible also said that faith without works is dead.

570
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: You can't have faith all day, but if you don't

571
00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: get up and do something it's so. I appreciate you

572
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: for saying that. But when I started seeing more and

573
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: more people purchased the album, be interested in the album

574
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: post about the album, it actually gave me more courage

575
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: to do more. You know. When I started seeing people

576
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: and how they were being blessed by what they heard

577
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: or you know, what they saw for me, it gave

578
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: me all of the ammunition I needed to say, Oh,

579
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: I need to get up and do a little bit more,

580
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: because I'm the kind of person you know, when I

581
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: read that scripture that says faith was our works is dead.

582
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: To me, that says get up and do something. So

583
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: the more I see the faith working for me, the

584
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: more I want to do. That's the kind of person

585
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: I am. So I you know, they used to say

586
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: this thing in church back in the day, Um, you

587
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: take one step and God to take two. So I'm

588
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: always about taking that first step and letting him do

589
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: what he does, you know, after he sees me operating

590
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: my faith. So that's just the way I think. So

591
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 1: my response to people, um being blessed by my album

592
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: at first when it was it gave me all that

593
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: I need you to keep doing more work. And I

594
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: think that's important for you to say that because I

595
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: always tell people that. First of all, you're absolutely correct

596
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: when you say by doing it yourself, you understand how

597
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: far you're willing to push yourselves and also how far

598
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: you want to challenge the people who say they want

599
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: to do the same thing for you. You know what

600
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because you have to get out the way personality.

601
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I do that. Don't worry about it. That's

602
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: how first you're gonna move. That's how first you're gonna move. Okay, cool,

603
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: I got this, I got this, I got this. And

604
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: that's important because it gives you the conference to say,

605
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: I know how this is, the how this is done.

606
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: I know how much effort needs to be put in

607
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: it for me to be happy. Now, if you're not

608
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna put effort in to make me happy, that means

609
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: that you satisfy and you reach your satisfied, satisfying point

610
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: in your life, then guess what I'm done with you

611
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: somebody that's coming in the room, because that allows that

612
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: that business had of yours to come on board. And

613
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: I let me tell you, sometimes I always admire people

614
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: like you who who get it at such an early age.

615
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: You know, and I admit that I am talented. I

616
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: will admit that I see things uniquely, Uh do a

617
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: unique mirror or glass or a window, and and and

618
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm able to figure out things a lot faster than

619
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: most people. But I didn't understand who I was an

620
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: early age. I just knew people just people just told

621
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: me I was talented. And people just told me that, hey,

622
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: stopped doing that. You're gonna be better than that. Stop that,

623
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: stop being stupid, stop that. You know you're going to

624
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: be better than that. People just protected me and told

625
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: me just you know, it just kept me in live.

626
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: And then but your brother said, hey, he knew you,

627
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: he knew you had a passion to be different. Absolutely,

628
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: who pushed you? What? Well? Under this? I know it's

629
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: all starts with the parents, But did you see something

630
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: when you're inspired by something? What what drove you? Wow?

631
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: I actually came from a family of just ambitious p

632
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: for you know, they're very talented. My entire family things

633
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: that play instruments. You know, they're educators. They believe in

634
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: education and doing what you're calling to do. So I

635
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: had a family. It's good to have a family unit

636
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: of people. And then that doesn't necessarily have to be blood,

637
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: but surrock tell people all the time, surround your people,

638
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: yourself around people. Some of them may know who you

639
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: are before you know who you are. And I always

640
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: want to surround my people, myself around people who know

641
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: more than me. If somebody told me the other day,

642
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: if if you know the most in your circle of friends,

643
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: and you need to get some new friends, because you

644
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: have to have people in your life who are always

645
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: sharpening you, always pushing you to be greater, always stretching

646
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: you to do more. And if you don't have that

647
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: person in your life, you know, you kind of hit

648
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: a glass ceiling. You are a business woman. If you

Speaker 1: then I also you understand relationships. You also understand that

655
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,319

660
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: to walk in the room and be quiet and listen.

00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,520

673
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: about this next. I got six sisters. I want I'm

674
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: passed away, but I always have six sisters. They look curvy,

675
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: they look curvya. I love that look curving, you know,

676
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: And so you got this live for curves. So so what,

677
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: okay do you don't know? If I gotta ask you

678
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: this question to develop an ethletic line. Do you work out?

679
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: I absolutely do. I have a trainer, I sure do.

680
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: I know people don't believe big girls workout, but we

681
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: can be healthy too. That's what I'm I'm wanting to push.

682
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: I want I've seen so many curvy girls because I

683
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: released this line. They have the courage now to stand

684
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: up and say, yeah, I work out. You know, yes,

685
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: you know I do. I eat healthy. But sometimes some

686
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: of us say used to say this back in the day,

687
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: some of us just big bone girls. Absolutely absolutely, but

688
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: I believe you can be healthy. You can ask my

689
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: doctor right now. I have no health issues whatsoever. I'm

690
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: a curvy girl and I believe and eat it right.

691
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna eat me a piece of cake

692
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: every now and then. But for the most part, you

693
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: gotta stay with your regiment. You gotta make sure that

694
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: you're taking care of your temple. God gave us one body,

695
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, He gave us one one life to live,

696
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: and you have to make sure you're taken care of it.

697
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: And in terb athletics. I wanted to push that. You know.

698
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: The the the honest story behind this is I was

699
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: online um looking for Ivy Park, which is Beyonce's Uh,

700
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: she has an athletic line, and so every at midnight

701
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: she would release these collections and they only do like

702
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: a small portion of the plus side, and so if

703
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: you don't get on right at midnight, you gotta miss it.

704
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: So time I was missing getting the order, and so

705
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: jokingly I said, and you know, the Bible says you

706
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: have whatsoever you say, And I said, out of my mouth,

707
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna create my own athletic wears just like that.

708
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: It was a joke and I just threw it out there.

709
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: But when you throw things out into the atmosphere, you know,

710
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: those angels received it. And so I said it and

711
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: I could not shake it. And so about three years ago,

712
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: now this one was a little different from UM for

713
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: I Wear because I had challenges. I had hurdles with

714
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: this one because you have trademarks and you have you know,

715
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: you have to go through manufactures. It was just a

716
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: little different for me. And so three years ago I

717
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: started out with this product. And this is really good

718
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: for some people who may want to give up. I

719
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: started out in my trademarks did not go through because

720
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: the logo that I had was too similar to another one.

721
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: And so I had to start all the way over

722
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: after printing so many labels, and and so I learned

723
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: a valuable lesson from that, you know, So I was disappointed.

724
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: I sat for a little while and I still couldn't

725
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: shake it. And so I worked hard, you know, to

726
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: make sure and people will tell you now a lot

727
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: of women are getting their their products. I made it

728
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: for the curvy woman. A lot of times we get

729
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: these types. They roll down, they slide down and don't

730
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: fit right, you can't work out. And I did a

731
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: lot of study about the plus sized body and what

732
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: will fit and what type of material and fabric to use.

733
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: And so for three years, I worked hard and I pressed,

734
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: I studied, and I'm a sure that these these garments

735
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: would fit properly and everybody will have them. Now they're saying,

736
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, they don't fly down, Oh my god,

737
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: and that it's just blessing me because that's what I

738
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: worked so hard on to make sure that they fit

739
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: properly and that we're comfortable and we feel great in them.

740
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: And so, you know, for anybody you're out there, you

741
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: want to start a business, don't give up. If you've

742
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: got some hurdles that you gotta jump over the mountains.

743
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: You gotta knock down. Sometimes it's not gonna come to

Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation, a show I created. UM I created

784
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: just to promote myself. And then I realized that there

785
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: were things out there that I could say that people

786
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: wanted to hear on a regular basis about motivating them

787
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: to be successful, not only be successful for themselves with

788
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: people around them, to look into the mirror and say, hey,

789
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm actually stopping myself from reaching my own dreams. How

790
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: do I what do I go? What can I listen to?

791
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: What can I hear? They can give me advice? Well,

792
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: that's what money making conversation is about. I bring in

Speaker 1: friends that I know and this industry, business in different

794
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: industries from being entertainment see e O, small businesses, industry

795
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: decision makers. I bring on my show so they can learn,

796
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: so you can learn to listen. What makes me successful?

797
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: What makes me? Mostly it's relationships. I've learned through the

798
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: years that if you want to be long term, not

799
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: short term, relationships build and create and maintain a pattern

800
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: of success that you just can't walk away because you're

801
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna have down moments. You're gonna have moments where you

802
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: need people to inspire you and need people to uplift you.

803
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: And that's what relationships create for you. And that's why

804
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: money making Conversations have been so successful since I've launched

807
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,520

834
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: that's that's because it feels timely. That feels like, you know,

835
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: like you guys saw the future with this particular show.

836
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: Uh when you when you realize that that that that's

837
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: a real life relationship, does it affect how you play

838
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: the role on TV? No? Oh no, not at all.

839
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: But I'm so glad that you don't. Mar Keisha is there.

840
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: But uh, actually, my character Lady Ella started out being

841
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: the first lady of Greater Hope Baptist Church and in

842
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: our very first episode of our very first season, my husband,

843
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: which was played by Richard Lawson, was murdered, so it

844
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: became a who've done it? And then lady Ella is

845
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: very greedy. I don't. She just has a lot of

846
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: a lot of goals. She was three, Like you were

847
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 1: just talking about Rashane, about you know, being your best,

848
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: your fullest potential, reaching your goals. It's about relationships. Well,

849
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: she has a lot of great relationships, but the difference

850
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: with her and she's kind of squeezes those relationships to

851
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: get what she needs, couping people and to progress her career.

852
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: So she wasn't quite satisfied with being just the first lady.

853
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: She had her i on being mayor and now in

854
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: season four, she has her eye on being senator. She's

855
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: trying to be a senator. So I said, if the

856
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: show keeps going by season six, who homes I might

857
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: be the president of you Now you go there, you

858
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: go there, You're gonna do? Okay? Uh that I love

859
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: the fact. First of all, I love the energy and

860
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: your voice when you start talking about arc because obviously

861
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: you're having a lot of fun playing this character. Oh

862
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: she's deliciously wicked. I mean, you know, as an actress,

863
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: you only pray for fun rows like this you get,

864
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, and it's nice to play multi fascinating characters

865
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: and Lady Ellen definitely falls in that category. He's just

866
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: not one note. You know, she's a mother, and she's

867
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: a wife, and she's you know, of course brother the city.

868
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: But she's got a lot of not going on, a

869
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: lot of demons. So you know that's fun because you

870
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: get a chance to think your teeth into something and

871
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: just um, just that fun with it, you know, right,

872
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: And so when you're when you're doing when you look

873
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: at the ratings and I was sent me the press

874
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: kid and everything and saying how good the show is

875
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: doing up against this compet Tiian And that's really a

876
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: testament to the characters on the show, the script's development,

877
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: and also the brand and the marketing. And so because

878
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know, Bounce is not a upper tier

879
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: network and that syndicated. So to be able to compete,

880
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: how does that make you feel about you being a

881
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: person on the show and then able to to be

882
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: able to develop a brand that people are just resonating

883
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: with the viewers out there. Well, you know, I think

884
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: that it says a lot of things also, just like

885
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: you said, and also says that you know, because in

886
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: the African American you know, in our community, yes, we

887
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: are like very high rated in our time slot from

888
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: eighteen to forty five. And that's also a wide range

889
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: of people watching our shows eighteen to five, a lot

890
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: of different ages like that show, and um, you know,

891
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: this is our fourth season and we kind of came

892
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: out to the ground running even Yeah, we were getting

893
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 1: very very good numbers. So that tells you that black

894
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 1: folks we want to see us. They're tired of looking at,

895
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, shows where they don't have no black friends.

896
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: And although things have changed in the TV sectum, you know,

897
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: things have changed and we have more programming now and

898
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: more UH channels and more TV shows, but still the

899
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: folks want to see them, you know. So it's a

900
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: lot three tid especially since there is so much more

901
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: programming now for them. I find I call us a

902
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: little enginet, could we just because you're right, Bolence are small,

903
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: it's not a big station. Then you gotta find it

904
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: so that that's really a compliment because you gotta want

905
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: to see us too, you know. You gotta want to say,

906
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't have it says a

907
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: lot of things about the economy as well. A lot

908
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: of people are getting rid of the hbos and the

909
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: showtimes and all that because they can't afford those cable

910
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: packages anymore. My mother is going through that right now.

911
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: She's trying to find a better way watch TV because

912
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: she can't as a scene, and she can't afford almost

913
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars a month, you know, between her internet,

914
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: her phone bill and okay, well she can't afford that.

915
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: So it says a lot right now about people are

916
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: finding our show because it's economically, you know, easy for

917
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,759

932
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: talking to a very talented Vanessa Bell Calloway, the star

933
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: of Bounce TV Saints and Centers, where she plays uh

934
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: Mayor Ella Johnson. She elevated from the first lady. Now

935
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 1: she's the mayor. Now she's gonna run for state senators.

936
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: So we want to get to season six when she

937
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: pursues and kicks Trump out of the White House. There

938
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: you go. I want to sit it out there for that.

939
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: So I would say out there because you know, because

940
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: you know your your life is about being balanced, about

941
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: being challenged. You know, when I was reading through your credits, uh,

942
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: when I was announced that I had thyroid cancer, and

943
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: it quite frankly, it's stunned me, you know, because I

944
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: didn't see it coming. Does anybody here see bad news coming?

945
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: First of all? And when when you when it comes

946
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: to you, you you have to realize how do you

947
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: handle that? Because my career was still I think, very successful,

948
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: and so I didn't understand. I had to understand how

949
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: does this type of news fit in that? Unfortunately, Uh,

950
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, UH had the surgery and everything. He's successful

951
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: and and do my checkups every year, and I'm in remission.

952
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: It's not only about cancer, you know, we're talking about

953
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, AIDS and diabetes and heart disease. We're gonna

954
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: cover all things healthy because it all comes and it

955
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: all links. Canceling all this some links together, you know,

956
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: all links, because it's the health is us going to

957
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: the doctors on a regular basis in our community, learning

958
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: how to value back going to see your physicians regularly,

959
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: Like right now, when I finished with you, Randy refinished

960
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: with you to think my doctor's name is Randy Shan

961
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: when I finished with you today and were like, I'm

962
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: just called I'm on my way to my general practitioner.

963
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: And then later on I'm saying one of my camper's doctors,

964
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: I've already had my Mama gram this year. You know,

965
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: I go in August. For me, this is when I

966
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: see all of my doctors. And I always tell people

967
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: find the time of year that works for you from

968
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,479
Speaker 1: people like to do on their birthdays or whatever works

969
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: for you. I do it in August because my industry

970
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: is a little slower, and so if I do it

971
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: as another time, I might have to cancel on my

972
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: appointment because I might have to suddenly go out of

973
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 1: town and work, you know. So I do it in August,

974
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: and I got like between this week, like last week,

975
