Like which you know, it's something that I 204 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: hear that a lot of parents go through where it's 205 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: kind of like they're trying to basically reinvent themselves, you know, 206 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: with you know, because you know she had such a 207 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: major part of your life.

I want to talk a little 210 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: bit about your your career, some of the some of 211 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: the other experiences that you had a long way because 212 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm a big soap opera fan, and what will you 213 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: that the whole the lifestyle and the and the and 214 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: the work that you have to put in as a 215 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: soap opera star. How's that different from a sitcom? Ohly, 216 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: it's just a totally different um tone of honestly, because, 217 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: to be truthful, one most soap operas, at least someone 218 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: I was on The Young and the Restless um and 219 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'll go back every now and then, but 220 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: we do one take pretty much one take of every scene. 221 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: And you know, I played a lawyer, a very busy 222 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: lawyer with a lot of legal jargons. And you know, 223 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm also I'm also pretty much a perfectionist. You know, 224 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: A perception is to an extent because I also understand that, 225 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, as an artist of someone who's expressed it 226 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: and you want to create you Also, there's something very 227 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: special about being in the moment, but also perfessionally. So 228 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: for me, I honestly have no social life, which isn't 229 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: really a problem because even before the show I really 230 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: didn't either. Actually, especially the three or four no I was. 231 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: I was really on a front burner story they call 232 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: it on social five or six years. I definitely, I 233 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: mean I barely stepped outside of the house. I was 234 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: always reading a script, you know that, especially after they 235 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: created a family around my character. So, I mean I 236 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: love it. I mean the characters are classic. Most of 237 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: the Young the Wrestlers have been on for like forty 238 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: something years. You know, I heard of because we've all 239 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: been seeing these characters, whether we realize it or not, 240 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: in our Parisio for for years, for decades. Yeah. I 241 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: grew up with a young in the Wrestler Classic, grew 242 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: up on that General Hospital, those two shows I grew up. Yeah, 243 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: so now you did something with Melissa McCarthy, you know, 244 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: on the show Nobody's on TV Land.

Your story is unique and it's about entrepreneurship. 591 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 1: But more importantly, your story is about empowerment, female empowerment. 592 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: Why is female empowerment so important today? I mean, I 593 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: definitely feel like there's so many different routes that you 594 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: could take as a female. Mean, growing up in Brooklyn, 595 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: I could have taken a different route, and I had 596 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: people around me that was encouraging me to do better. 597 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: And I feel like female empowerment is very, very important 598 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: because there's certain things that a male can teach you, 599 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: but there's more things that a female can teach you 600 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: because they're going through the same processes that you probably 601 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: went through. And I think it's so important for us 602 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: to kind of spread the word and like start working 603 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: together and noticing that it's no longer it's not this 604 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: date of a competition. We need to start collaborating more. 605 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: How do you how do you collaborate? How does that 606 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: make it happen? Because we know that, I mean in 607 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: my mind, and collaboration isn't just helping in any way. Like, 608 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: if you have a platform that you're able to give 609 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: back to, you need to get back and you need 610 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: to be able to help that other younger generation come up. 611 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: You know, I've been fortunate to be able to have 612 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: that guidance um as I was growing up and I 613 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: was able to give back to young women that wanted 614 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: to come up on the me Envision as the Envision Festival, 615 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: which is E E V s N Envision Festival October 616 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: through Industries Correct and Industry City.

Yeah, And what made me 657 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: really do it is I was going to all these 658 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: festivals for years and years, and with my background and 659 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: trade shows, I basically wanted I've always wanted to create 660 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: something for girls. I've had this past and for so long. 661 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: I started a nonprofit years ago called the Brooklyn intern 662 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: where I was able to help get girls. Um Interns 663 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: should be different companies in different industries. So it's basically 664 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: a mashup of that and what I've learned throughout the 665 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: years of doing trade shows, and uh, it's phenomenal just 666 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: to be able to give back to young girls growing 667 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: up in Brooklyn. I know what I could have became 668 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: if I didn't have the guidance. And I want other 669 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: young girls to understand, especially with the social media age, 670 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: it's so important for them to understand what's real and 671 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: what's fake. And I want them to understand how they 672 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: can be so dynamic if they're able to come together 673 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: at work together. We envision is environment right. I went 674 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: to your website which is Envisioned, which is E n 675 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: V S N Festival dot com, and I'm looking at 676 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: the very diverse image of the three young ladies that 677 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: you have on your page, and I think that's important 678 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: that you that you know the only thing about it 679 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: is that, uh, you know, just a corner where you 680 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: can we all get along? Can we all call appendicate 681 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: that we all communicate when I look at this picture, 682 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: that's what you're saying, Yes, exactly, It's about it's I 683 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: grew up knowing that it wasn't an African American thing, 684 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't a um Caucasian thing. I grew up around 685 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: so many different cultures and good travel and my experiences. 686 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: This is what basically have led me to make it 687 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: a multicultural thing. And that's what it's exciting about Envision Now. 688 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: So you have a number of brand partners on here. 689 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: How does one become a brand partner?
