00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: So I just feel like blessed that I lived.

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: You know, I said, literally everywhere, especially in Brooklyn. I mean,

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: I'm in Brooklyn and they just be like what. Sometimes

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: they just hit me war up tash and I'd be

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: like shout, oh okay, so I'm notary, but okay yeah.

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,399

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: loved so embedded, and think about it.

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: In real life. You know, I had two kids, got married. Yeah,

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: while all that was going on.

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: So much life has happened in ten years. I was

56
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: a single woman. I did not have any children, and

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: now I have all that and you know home. I

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: just feel blessed because, honestly, the show gave me agency

59
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: as a female, as a woman starting my own you know,

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: production company now like I'm directed. I just feel like

61
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: it gave me a space to be more independent, and

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: I was when I started Power. I was a nervous

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: little girl, to be honest, and then having children, becoming

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: a mother and also a wife, gave me a chance

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: to see like, oh no, I'm strong enough, I can

66
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: do this and I don't have to be afraid. I

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: can just be myself. And I think that's now what

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 3: I'm finally doing at forty.

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Yes, please, you started from music, I did.

70
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people sometimes forget that a

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: lot of people do.

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: What was acting always on your agenda?

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: Always really always as a child, I knew. I literally

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: used to tell my friends and I remember in third

75
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: grade we had like a school play. I was Dorothy

76
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: and the Whiz and I was like yeah, and I

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: saw the Bodyguard and I remember I was like, that's

78
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: going to be me. Whitney Houston was my inspiration. I

79
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: always knew that music is also a vehicle to tell stories.

80
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: So if you can do music and singing and all that,

81
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: I love music, I was like, okay, I can be

82
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: an actress. So singing and acting was always on the agenda.

83
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: Now the producing and directing was something I discovered over time.

84
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: But I knew that this was my purpose and calling.

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: So I'm just like, thank god I got to.

86
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Do it, I know. I mean, look at how long

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: you've been in this business too.

88
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: Well, that's a whole you think ten years a long

89
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: time for power. Do y'all know how long Nauri naw

90
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: and Lewis has been in this business? Like twenty four years,

91
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: twenty four. I got a record deal with Three of

00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: W in nineteen ninety nine.

93
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: That's actually it's twenty twenty four.

94
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: So at the end of this year, like right at

95
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: the top of twenty twenty five, it's gonna be my

96
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: twenty fifth anniversary.

97
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: Crazy huge.

98
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: I've been through a lot, kicked out a girl group,

99
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: came back, went to college Pollege, so I've been through

100
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: a whole Like.

101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: With that group, it could have been over after that. No,

102
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: it really could have could have like that could have

103
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: been there. That took some time, that story, but look

104
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: at how you've came back even stronger.

105
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: And I'm from Jersey. We don't play these games. I'm

106
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 3: from Eastern shoutout to Jersey. But at the end of

107
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: the day, the bounce back is because I was raised

108
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: that way my mother, my father, my father and rest

109
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: in peace, and the way I was raised honestly like

110
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: changed I think my life because if I didn't have

111
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: that support and that infrastructure from a Caribbean dad and

112
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: a mother from the South to tell me like your

113
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: dreams are real and you can do anything. I don't

114
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 3: know if I would still be here. I could have

115
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: been like depressed and on drugs or something after three

116
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: w but they told me, you know what, after I

117
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: got kicked out, they were like, it's okay, You're gonna

118
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: be great.

119
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: There's so much more you can do.

120
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: And you know, I love how you can talk about

121
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: things that happened back then now and not feel the

122
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: emotion that you felt because think about at first, it's

123
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: so hard to be like I was kicked out. Even

124
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: saying that is not an easy thing when it's.

125
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: You know what, that's true.

126
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: I don't think I used to because we've interviewed so

127
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: many times before, and now it's like I was like

128
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: I got get a group, Thank y'all.

129
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 2: It was meant to be at the time.

130
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes you can't see the wing over those bumps and

131
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: not knowing that this is a part of the journey.

132
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeahture something that needed to happen so you could get

133
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: someone else a.

134
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: Men to that, And now I'm like cool with Adrian.

135
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: I feel like to your point, I'm just cool with Adrian.

136
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: I'm not even a girl by replaced. They tried, they tried.

137
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know some of the iterations.

138
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like it was the end of that.

139
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: But that is just a lesson for everybody listening. You know,

140
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: sometimes things can happen and it could feel like that's

141
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: the end, the right but to see, like how when

142
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: you reflect years later. And that's why I always say

143
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: when things are going bad, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna

144
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: get through this. It's okay to like deal with that

145
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: at that time, but know that it's gonna get better later.

146
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: And you actually, yeah, and if you didn't go through that,

147
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: even for you and your career and your life, like

148
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: I know, both of y'all like on and off this,

149
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: you know, the microphone. It's interesting to see people reinvent themselves.

150
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: Remember that you have the power to reinvent, reincarnate, come back.

151
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: It's like you just have to use your creative, you know,

152
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: inner strength and say okay. Because a lot of people,

153
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: even with notories, they was like, how are you gonna

154
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: play Little Kim? You the girl from their w And

155
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: then I did it. And then after little Kim is like,

156
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: how are you gonna be taucha? No, I did it,

157

Speaker 2: We was in Brooklyn.

165
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,400

Speaker 1: Not the one, not the two, but two. Hey, hey,

194
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about abducted it in HBCU. Yes,

195
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Girl Missing movie. I did have a chance to watching

196
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: MANA was watching. Yeah, take the screen like this morning,

197
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: so oh did you?

198
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: I can't wait for people to see this.

199
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: I haven't and I'm literally like gonna watch it with

200
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: the fans, So everybody pull up. I might do a

201
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: little screening party on Saturday, July twentieth. I'm gonna talk

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: to you and figure out where we can do it

203
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn, and we should do like a little screen

204
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: because I want people to I want to watch it

205
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: with the fans for the first time on Lifetime.

206
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: Make sure y'all tune in on There a.

207
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Lot of reasons it's important, even though because I know

208
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: a first man, it was like, is this a true story?

209
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: That's but it's based on true events for really, because

210
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: it happens, It happens, it has happened in different ways.

211
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: Black girls go missing every day, multiple times a day.

212
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: But particularly what was interesting about this is that they

213
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: are targeting some you know, people are targeting young women

214
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: on HBCUs or on campuses of colleges, and then we

215
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: just assume, oh, you know, she probably just ran away

216
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: or she just decided to drop out of school. Like

217
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: when it's a black girl, we suddenly discard them or

218
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: just don't even put the same resources behind looking for them.

219
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: And that's unacceptable, even the way that media approaches it. Yeah,

220
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: and of course it's a tragedy when any any girl

221
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 1: goes missing, any young girl goes missing. But there is

222
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: certainly a difference in when a young white girl is

223
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: missing then when a young black girl is missing. Everbody

224
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: knows that the longer it takes for them to actually,

225
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, decide, because sometimes they won't even say a

226
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: person is missing. They're like, well, we have to wait.

227
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: Let's see if she ran away, let's see if she's

228
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: with her boyfriend?

229
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: Yes, and how long do we wait?

230
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Like what are those The longer you wait, the worst

231
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: the outcome could potentially.

232
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: Be exactly Well, that's why you know this movie and

233
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: what Lifetime is doing. And Garcel Bouvet, who executive produced it,

234
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: this is actually the second a black girl missing story,

235
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: so this is not a new topic, but Lifetime has

236
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: really made it a point to bring attention to it

237
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: in a way. We're going to do a series of films.

238
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: And when they asked me to start in this and

239
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: I remember reading it and I was like, you know,

240
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: I need to do this because a I play the

241
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: school advisor and counselor who actually finds this young girl.

242
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: I go out and basically save her.

243
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: But we need to show that more people need to

244
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: get involved, even if it's not your immediate family. Like

245
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: if you see something, say something, if you know something

246
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 3: looks sketchy, don't be afraid to speak up. I mean

247
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: within reason obviously, you know, be safe out here. People

248
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: don't say Tasha told me to do it. But abducted

249
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: is a real dive into an issue in a topic

250
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: that is happening, and we have to do better at

251
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: saving these young girls, particularly black girls who go missing.

252
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: Because it's crazy the numbers.

253
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: What did you learn from this? Brol too, because you

254
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: know it's scary. Also, you have a daughter. I do,

255
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: And so for anybody that you know has we all

256
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: have young girls who are close to us, whether it's family,

257
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: whether it's not, whatever type of profession that we're in.

258
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: What are some things that you learned?

259
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 3: I learned actually statistically, well, first off, I didn't know

260
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: that so much of this is happening like this the

261
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 3: honestly the movie dives into sex trafficking, right and we didn't.

262
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: We didn't.

263
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: I didn't know, and even me and two were talking

264
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: about this. My husband like, dang, is this really like

265
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: it's going down? But apparently it's really really going down,

266
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: And obviously in many other households this has become a

267
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: thing and it's happening the discussion. But the fact that

268
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: thirty six percent of missing girls are black girls, but

269
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: only fourteen percent of the population are black women or

270
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: black girls, it's crazy, like, how do we make up

271
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: almost forty percent? And that was something I learned, and

272
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: also learning how the process of luring these girls, like

273
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: I didn't know, they actually mold and groomed them into

274
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 3: trafficking and how to behave and selling their bodies and

275
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: they have no choice. So that was something I learned

276
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: through just really reading the script and doing this movie

277
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: with the director Delmar Washington. He directed it, and it

278
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: was beautiful because I was like, Okay, we're telling a

279
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: true story from real facts, even though the story obviously

280
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: is fictionalized and written but the problem is this isn't

281
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: a fiction subject subject.

282
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: So I learned a lot.

283
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: So those are some of the things I learned in

284
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: the proportions of how many stay missing and go unfound

285
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,239
Speaker 3: compared to their white counterparts.

286
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: You know.

287
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: What I'm glad that you've talked about is also the

288
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: grooming aspect. I think sometimes people can see women like

289
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: on the streets selling their bodies or escorts or whatever

290
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: and think that they chose.

291
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that's just what they want to do.

292
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's just a ho. She's just this, she's

293
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: just that. And the truth is a lot of times,

294
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: like when you watch this, you'll see what can happen

295
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: to bring someone to that point where they feel like

296
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: they're trapped in a situation so they have to do

297
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: it rugged, which does happen right where yep, and forced

298
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: into it because sometimes people think, if she want to

299
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: do that, let do it, like yeah, you know.

300
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: So they almost blame you.

301
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's her fault, is she always dressed in a

302
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: certain way or she too Like your body is not

303
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: a weapon. You shouldn't be you know, it shouldn't be

304
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: used against you who you are. Your blackness should not

305
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: be a scar or tool to say, well, she's just

306
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: another black girl. They're not gonna care, like, let's not

307
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: do that, but let's actually defend and stand up for

308
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: these young girls.

309
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: It feels like part of your agenda now is also

310
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: to make sure you do work that's important and impactful.

311
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: So can we talk about that?

312
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: And Julie gets me, y'all, this is my real friend.

313
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: We be having carry go and jerk chicken at the

314
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: grill in real life. Shout out to negrills. No, but seriously,

315
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: I want to do things that matter. So whether and

316
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: people always asking when you go to music again, when

317
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: are you gonna do? I want to do the things

318
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: that if it doesn't matter, if it doesn't feel purposeful,

319
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel intentional, I'm probably not gonna do it.

320
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: I'm not just like, oh, I'm gonna put something out

321
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: just to say I can sing it.

322
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: People know.

323
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: If you know I could sing cool. If you don't,

324
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: that's okay. You'll find out whether I do a musical.

325
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: I might be on Broadway next spring.

326
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: I could be.

327
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: Doing you know, a television I could be hosting. It

328
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: could be another film. I can direct this story and

329
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: not even starring it. I don't want people to only

330
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: attach me to the things that they think are salacious

331
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: or sexy. Obviously power is beautiful, but now it's time

332
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: to do things that are powerful. In when you watch it,

333
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: you will feel either empowered, you'll feel inspired, you will

334
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: feel like I gotta do something with conviction. And those

335
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: are the things like that. I'm doing another project soon

336
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about it. But it's just things like

337
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: know about homelessness and just things that are real. Abortion,

338
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: I want to tackle real issues. I directed my first

390
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,400

Speaker 3: also just balancing time with children because we're also parents.

397
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: The challenges making sure that work or conversations about work

398
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: don't overpower conversations about us or time about us. We

Speaker 3: you know, therapy, marriage counseling, all that is something.

403
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: Not to be ashamed of.

00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: We talk about things because we want to make sure

405
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: we stay fresh up.

406
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:09,680

Speaker 1: So, what are some things that you have you know,

441
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: planned or I want to actually manifest.

442
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: Well, one of the things that I really want to

443
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: do through my foundation, the Jury's Dreamers Foundation, is really

444
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: I want to do a workshop where basically like a

445
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: summer camp that has not been realized yet, but that's

446
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: what I really want to do and actually bring all

447
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: the inner city kids from East rs from Nework, you know,

448
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: because I'm always in Jersey and be like at the forefront,

449
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: bring some celebrity guests in like every week or something

450
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: to do a summer camp workshop where if you want

451
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: to do the arts, let's say you want to sing,

452
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: Let's say you want to do radio, let's say you know,

453
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: I bring y'all like, come and do a talk back

454
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: with these kids from you know ages maybe like eight

455
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: to eighteen or something like a large group of young people.

456
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: So if in the summer they get a release and

457
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: they get the chance not to think about schoolwork so

458
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: much the pressure, they can actually think about what their

459
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 3: careers because nowadays ever was just like testing standardized past

460
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: this go to school, go to college, which is great,

461
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: and I did it all, but I knew I wanted

462
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: a career.

463
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: Not a job.

464
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: And I think helping drive these young people any starringe

465
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 3: in York and in where I'm from get to that point.

466
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 3: Other things that I've done is like, you know what

467
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: I did during the pandemic, the feeding feeding people who

468
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: don't have enough food, working with other black owned businesses
