29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,600

Speaker 1: it was way do you see what I'm saying.

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: There'm no judgment. I used to dance for Diddy, so

39
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: she was.

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 5: Assistant, Lari and Gibson all that I never saw the

41
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 5: things that people.

42
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: You missed the lie because the lie was so good.

43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: First that I ain't never been no Didty party, and

44
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: if I did, it was.

45
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 6: Way way way back in.

46
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: I was joking, joke, I never been no damn Diddy

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: party party.

48
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: I ain't never been on one iground.

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: I went home to get my mama down the stage.

50
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: I feel good. I feel amazing.

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: It's caregiver appreciation months speaking up taking care of my mama.

52
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 5: So this is my respite break to just being out

53
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: here in New York doing what I want to do,

54
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: seeing some art, enjoying some cold weather.

55
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 4: Because I feel like we don't really get that in LA.

56
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 6: Who's all the caregivers out there? Man? Break down?

57
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: What exactly do caregivers do? Because it's such an unappreciating

58
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: service that they that they provide.

59
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: That's a good question.

60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: Everything care like for me my mom, Diane Harrington, she

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: has multiple sclerosis, she has Alzheimer's and she's paraplegic. So

62
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 5: basically it's like having my newborn with me at all times.

63
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: And it just depends on what you're dealing with.

64
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 5: It could be from feedings, the doctor's appointments, emotional support,

65
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 5: just sitting with them, taking them out.

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 4: You just never know.

67
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 5: But caregivers need love and check on us too because

68
00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: we ain't all right.

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: All the time.

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: And you know, people, I'm sure I don't know if

71
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: you're through the system, but you know, people get paid

72
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: for that.

73
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 5: Not everywhere. That's I'm glad you mentioned that New York

74
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 5: is a blessing. LA is a blessing. I think I

75
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 5: heard Florida has a little bit, but everywhere else it's

76
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 5: been frustrated.

77
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: And that's why I had to move Mama from Memphis.

78
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 6: Wow.

79
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: So and then I moved it to Atlanta season one

80
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: when I was filming Pea Valley and had to move

81
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 5: a back because I lost all my benefits. So it

82
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: is that's that we just did care Fest out here,

83
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 5: and that's what we were talking about, getting the care

84
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 5: because people aren't doing that, and either all of us

85
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 5: are either going to be caregivers for somebody or somebody's

86
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 5: gonna care for us at one time in our lives.

87
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: So I don't know what's up with the government. So

88
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: who does care for you?

89
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 6: Then?

90
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: Because you've been doing this for a long time, you

91
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: take care.

92
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 5: But I've watched your journey just over the years, even

93
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: before I met you, and you are like your mom

94
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 5: is your baby in between rolls, and I even shot

95
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: a project with you, and on a break, you on

96
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 5: a phone mama, making sure everybody is in place while

97
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: you're doing the things that you have to do to

98
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: keep making the money right. And then as soon as

99
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 5: you finish, you and you go, you wit your mom,

100
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: you wake up, you go back on set. That's right,

101
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: Because during Pretty Stone, I had Mama in the hospital,

102
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 5: so I was on the phone with doctors and they

103
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: were like cut and I was like holding the doctor

104
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 5: stayed while I did a scene on the phone and

105
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: came back. So yeah, rehearsed in lines and remembering the

106
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 5: script and everything like that. I write my friends and family,

107
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 5: I will say more so my friends. No, not to

108
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: my family, but my friends are the ones that are

109
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: out there with me, people like Ivri, who's with me here?

110
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: When I'm filming season one, A p.

111
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 5: Valley had a caregiver walk out and I checked the

112
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 5: live camera stream, I'm like, what's going on? What's going

113
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: on in Mama's room. He had connected all of my

114
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: friends together. Then they took turns taking care of my

115
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 5: mother while I filmed because the caregiver walked out.

116
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 4: So my friends on.

117
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: My ride or Diyes Sasha, you know, my Bestisasha. Sasha's

118
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 5: at the house of Mama now, like they, I just

119
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 5: have a good village, a good chosen family, which is

120
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 5: a blessing.

121
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: Would you ever put your you know a lot of

122
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: people talk about putting their moms or parents in the home.

123
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Would you do that?

124
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 5: And while glad that actually I promised my mama ever

125
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 5: would and she did go in one. So that's my story.

126
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: On her birthday in twenty and fourteen, she had a fall.

127
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 5: I was dancing background for Lettercy at the time. My

128
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 5: little brother called me. He was like, Mama fail, she

129
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: has to be in a rehabilitation center. And I'm like,

130
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: the one promise I made to Mama, which was never

131
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 5: put in a nurse home, she had to be in it,

132
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: but never again. So that's when I fought for my

133
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: life to start teaching dance classes all over the country

134
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 5: and asking every celeb I knew, like, I don't need

135
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 5: your money, but.

136
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: Just a repost is a blessing.

137
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 5: And we raised fourteen thousand dollars in four days, and

138
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 5: I got my mama out of that nursing home. When

139
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 5: that was December twenty first, it'd be nine years. I've

140
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: had her since that day.

141
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: The reason I ask is, you know, sometimes parents will say,

142
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't want to, you know, be

143
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: a problem with your Like I don't want to, you know,

144
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: you know, mess up what you have, So put me

145
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: in a home so that way there is help.

146
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: And then there's some people that say, you know, I'll

147
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: never put my mind in a home.

148
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: But having that kid twenty four to seven, I mean,

149
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know it's almost impossible.

150
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: Right then it's nine thousand dollars a month, right to

151
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: be exact.

152
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: So my wife's had dementia in all times, and we

153
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: had a full day, and if.

154
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: We didn't have a nanny helping, it would.

155
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: Be almost impossible, because you know, there's been times when

156
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: she didne walked out the house and just kept walking,

157
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: while there.

158
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: Was times where you know, she didn't know where the

159
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: toilet was. So you know, it's like having a newborn

160
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: at times.

161
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 3: There's been times when you know there's so much going on,

162
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: So how do you deal with that twenty four seven

163
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: and still work and still.

164
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: Take care of God?

165
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 5: Because at this point it's just got to be all

166
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: God because I'm so exhausted in New York. That's the

167
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 5: first time I don't have the baby monitor about my ear,

168
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: and so when you hear that cough, you don't know,

169
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 5: just like with your baby, are you choking or are

170
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: you coughing? So then you're getting up, running into the

171
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 5: room trying to have that rest.

172
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: It is exhausting. It is very exhausting.

173
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 5: But I also don't knock people that have to do

174
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: that because everybody's situation is different. I think that if

175
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: you have to put them there, you got to stay

176
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: on top of them.

177
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: I was stalking the home like I was showing up.

178
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 5: I was popping up. At one point. They was like,

179
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 5: we feel like you're watching us.

180
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: I am.

181
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 5: I am because it's my mom and that where she was.

182
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 5: My mom probably wouldn't be alive right now if I

183
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: wouldn't have gotten her. One time I popped up and

184
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: Mama was like laid over with a fever and I

185
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: had to break her fever.

186
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: By the way, you can.

187
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: Break your fever with alcohol, just rub it on the

188
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: baby's back. Mama taught me that when I was a

189
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 5: little girl, rub rubbing alcohol on the back.

190
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, I honestly don't know. I'm still trying to.

191
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: I'm working through it with therapy and just trying to

192
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: find my peace and taking more vacations and things for

193
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: myself too. And that's hard too, because now Mama had

194
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: a meltdown about me coming to New York because she's like,

195
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 5: why are you leaving me? And I can you know

196
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 5: with kids. I know y'all overstanding, you don't want to

197
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: leave the babies, but we gotta work.

198
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: We gotta have some time for us because I came

199
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: for from the empty cup.

200
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: I loved this conversation so much because years years and

201
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: years years years ago God blessed the dead. Andre Herrel

202
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: called me and had a whole conversation about this exactly

203
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: and introduced me to the world of cadgive was and

204
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: introduced me to a woman named Gina Lisa Montacero. And

205
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: she's the founder of the Medicated Visory Group and they're

206
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: a consulting company who assists elders and family caregivers. And so,

207
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: you know, she helped my family with some stuff, and

208
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: she helped a lot of my friends.

209
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 6: I think it's just something that people don't know about

210
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 6: it and.

211
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 5: We don't think about it until we have to be

212
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: in that situation, right, because I never thought about it,

213
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 5: and then I realized, oh, this is Medicare, Medicaid, all

214
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 5: the different things like it's hard and if you don't

215
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 5: have it, you can't get your supplies, you can't pay

216
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: and paying for these supplies at the house is very

217
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: expensive if you don't have that help.

218
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 6: So that's what Gina Lisa does.

219
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: She helps you just navigate the help get system because

220
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: it's complex.

221
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, and they don't want us to know about

222
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: it at all. They definitely don't want us to know

223
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: about it. So yeah, and so you said therapy, so

224
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: you are currently. Yes, I gotta find new therapist.

225
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 5: Though the last one I had, I'm like, it's been

226
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 5: a minute and she ain't really answer that phone.

227
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: So I need to find me.

228
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: But then it's finding the right people, and they're trusting

229
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: people too, because I'm like, it's like, I don't really

230
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 5: want you to talk about.

231
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 4: What I do.

232
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: I just want to I want to be Brandy. I

233
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: don't want to be the actor. I just want to

234
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 5: be Brandy the caregiver and.

235
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Just talk about things.

236
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 6: What about y'all?

237
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: Is that hard for y'all to do when you go

238
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: to therapy? Y'all go to therapy.

239
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 6: I'm on my.

240
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: Second yeah, trying to find that right fit.

241
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, I haven't I heard it. It's like

242
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: I haven't started therapy yet. I would like to, but

243
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 5: I just I haven't started yet. But I hear that

244
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 5: a lot in people like my son's father. He's like, Yo,

245
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 5: I just can't find the right person, you know what

246
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: I mean. And then he also battles with trusting, like, yo,

247
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: how can this person tell me anything?

248
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: How can he fix me? If he never been through

249
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: what I've been through?

250
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: If they don't look like me or you know, so

251
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: he's battling like trying to find a black man to

252
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: talk to you.

253
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 6: I got a good one for him.

254
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: We need to share talk about my first my first therapist.

255
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: I wanted somebody that was completely opposite, so I was looking.

256
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: I actually was looking for like an Asian woman, but

257
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: I ended up with a white woman and she was cool.

258
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: But it is something about having a black male therapist

259
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: who's culturally competent.

260
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 6: You don't got to explain too much. A lot of

261
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 6: things he already understands.

262
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, now, but.

263
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 6: You always gonna be kind of hard because he to

264
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 6: deal with you.

265
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: So I needed to you know what, Excuse me.

266
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: I didn't.

267
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Like how I'm doing.

268
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: I'm doing good. I'm very better now. Ye Season three,

269
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 5: Reasonable Doubt. I'm so proud of you. What drew you

270
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: to the character Monica? Well, first of all, I wasn't

271
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: drawn at all to the character Monica because she's a mess.

272
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: But I was drawn to the show total opposite. So

273
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: I've always wanted to be Unreasonable Doubt. I've been watching

274
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 5: the show. It was on my vision board, and I

275
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 5: want to do something different than p Valley. So but

276
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 5: then when Ramula called about the director session, I was like, oh,

277
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: my lord, Monica, and I didn't find out till after

278
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: I auditioned what was happening. They gave me the storyline

279
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 5: in the arc of this, and I was like, Oh,

280
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: this is gonna be good.

281
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: And they finish dragged me and these internet streets.

282
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 5: But that's when I knew it was gonna It's gonna

283
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: be worth it, and it's a great story, not a

284
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: great but an important story to tell. Because have y'all

285
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 5: seen it yet? It's okay if you haven't, No, okay,

286
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 5: all right. So I'm playing an agent and there's this

287
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 5: child star named Ozzie Edwards and just like most child

288
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 5: stars they growing up with, you know, they got the money,

289
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 5: the fame. But the gag is I'm his agent who's

290
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 5: been molesting him since he was thirteen years old, which

291
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 5: is terrible.

292
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 4: But a lot of.

293
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 5: Times people let that pass with boys because they think,

294
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: you know, it's dope that there's an older woman trying

295
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 5: to turn him on. But it's not cool, so he

296
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: kept it hidding. The secret comes out and it's a gag.

297
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: And I have six nephews.

298
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: You're trying to be funny, They can't share nothing with you.

299
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm asking yeah, I'm fine, are you No? No, no,

300
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: but I didn't want to make sure he wasn't triggered.

301
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: That's what happened to him. He was blested by an

302
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: older woman. Yes, but the reason he wanted it to white,

303
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: the reason because she had a Jerry I.

304
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: Didn't like to smell her jerak that's what I saw. Yeah,

305
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: but I actually didn't like what she was doing to me. Okay,

306
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: but I told myself it was just smelling her Jerry

307
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: crow when I was eight.

308
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 5: Okay, yes, but you know what different things to cope

309
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 5: this This young man on episode nine, the younger version

310
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 5: of me says to him, Oh, I'm sorry to know

311
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 5: you were gay, which is terrible. And that's what I

312
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: feel like some women will do to young boys too,

313
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: to try to push them off and make them feel like,

314
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 5: you know, that's why you want. Yeah, they do all

315
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 5: types of stuff. And and she was wrong, not you

316
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,520

Speaker 6: It was just.

322
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: This is how much work it was.

323
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 4: Like it you would have been ugly to be to

324
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: you boy.

325
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: And I'm doing all this work.

326
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: What well, the finale dropped last week, okay, okay, And

327
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 5: at the end because his his attorney Jax, who is Amiazi,

328
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 5: she plays the star in the show, Well, she finds

329
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 5: out what happened, she puts Monica on the stand and

330
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 5: it comes out to the family everybody, and then at

331
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 5: the end, Monica decides to go in and shoot the

332
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 5: place up. Yeah, and we don't know who she shot.

333
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 6: So emotional place you've ever had to go to for

334
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 6: a role with it.

335
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 4: That probably that absolutely.

336
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: I got six nephews and so just to think about

337
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 5: my baby boys like i'd be in jail or hell,

338
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 5: did it?

339
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely not?

340
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 5: Because I think it's my job as an actor to

341
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: tell the stories, even the ones that are difficult. And

342
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 5: I've had fans that are like, I can't believe you

343
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 5: do that. After Mercedes, we love Missades, why would you

344
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 5: come do this? Maybe they'll make you pay attention to

345
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 5: your baby boy when they come home. Maybe they'll make

346
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 5: you ask different questions or if you see him shifting.

347
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 5: So that's why I always want to take on roles

348
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: that tell important stories.

349
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: We work out. I love working out, going hiking.

350
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 5: Honestly, I've been with Mama so much, did I just

351
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 5: have to just tamp away from it? But yeah, just

352
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: stay in touch with who I am and step twelve

353
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 5: of the actor the actor Handbook for me is let

354
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: it go.

355
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: So it's not real.

356
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask, so, how are you with your nephews?

357
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: Do you have different conversations with them now? Like, hey,

358
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: let me talk to you for a second.

359
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: Oh, always, because I know DJ, because I know you listening. Yes,

360
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 5: that my nephews are cute too. So I've already had

361
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 5: that situation with them with older women and I pick

362
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 5: up the phone and call. I told one girl, I

363
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 5: was like, I will find you and you will go

364
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: to jail. And I'm just gonna leave it at that.

365
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: So nephews, absolutely, Jesus, absolutely, they do it all the time.

366
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: I mean, so, I'm not crazy so seeing this, I

367
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: also did my research on it. But I've also seen it.

368
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: I'm the only girl, so I've seen how the women act.

369
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: You know, you know your brother final he's married and

370
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: he's younger. You know, so yeah, you look at.

371
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: People, sorry, do you look at people differently when you

372
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: see like so not a big thing in our community

373
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: is you'll see like a thirty year old dating an

374
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: eighteen year old or a forty year old dating a

375
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: twenty year old. Do you look at people differently now

376
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: because of that, because of the role you play.

377
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so long as they are of age,

378
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: I need them to be of age, because I mean,

379
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: as long as they've grown, that's that's their business.

380
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: I stay out of it. But longer but under age,

381
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: I'm absolutely und I'm snitching.

382
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: I think it is very important that you did bring

383
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 5: up the fact that when it's like a double standards. Yeah,

384
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 5: when it when it's a woman, right, who is older

385
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 5: going after a guy? I mean, you know a young guy,

386
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 5: people tend to like leave that.

387
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 4: Yeah it's okay. Oh you you did that, that's what

388
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: you told her. It's not okay.

389
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 5: And the whole time you don't even know how the

390
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: young person is thinking. These young men, their minds are

391
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: not even like they trying to be cool at the

392
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: end of the day, and the whole time it's like, damn,

393
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 5: I was really molested.

394
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 4: I was That's appropriate.

395
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: You wouldn't even make jokes about it if it was

396
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 6: a woman.

397
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: No, that's that point. That is a huge point.

398
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: No one's making a joke about it when it's someone.

399
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: Why are we joking about it when it's man? That's

400
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 5: a wonderful question.

401
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 6: No, for sure, don't try to act figure even now.

402
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: Yo, you make fun of.

403
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Yours? Are you cold?

404
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 6: I'm really hurting on the inside. No, Brandy.

405
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: When you think about your evolution from dancer the actors,

406
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: what part of your past shows up the most in

407
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: your your acting today.

408
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 5: I think as a dancer, we learn how to take direction,

409
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: and we learn how to take direction quick because you

410
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 5: ain't got time for that. And if you if you

411
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: were Loria and Gibson and she said I need you

412
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 5: to point that toe and get to the end of

413
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: the stage by the next eight count, you're gonna figure

414
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 5: it out.

415
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: So I feel like I took that, especially with.

416
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: On P Valley, because we had to do dancing and

417
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 5: things of that sort, I was able to take that direction.

418
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: So I think directors enjoy that. And I've always heard

419
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 5: that dancers are the best actors because they can take

420
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: direction easily. And we not, we not, we have thick skins.

421
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 5: So you literally could yell at me and be like

422
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: that sucks, and be like, for real, no, what you

423
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 5: need on the next take to make it not sound

424
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 5: like I just it's real hard for me to get

425
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: in my feelings about that.

426
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 4: How was your auditions for p Valley chow a vary

427
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: over there?

428
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 5: My friend he helped me choreograph it, so I was

429
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: already teaching dance classes and so, but I did a

430
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 5: slow routine because I felt like everybody the first routine,

431
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: I did a chair routine and it's actually on the

432
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: internet if y'all google Brandy Evans Valentine's Day neo hip

433
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 5: hop and heels, and I did the slow routine and

434
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: they were like, where you come from? Because I couldn't

435
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 5: get an audition, they told me that I didn't fit

436
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: any of the roles that they were currently casting for

437
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 5: pre vally.

438
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: Right.

439
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 4: They said, we.

440
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 5: Don't fit any And I found out on Valentine's Day

441
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen. So my agent was like, I was like, yeah,

442
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 5: this is show. My friend just called me about if

443
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 5: you heard about it. She's like, yeah, we already tried.

444
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: They said no.

445
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 5: So then a couple months went past, my homegirl sends

446
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 5: me the script. She was like, my sister auditioner for this,

447
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: and I really think it.

448
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: Should be you.

449
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 5: So I was like, oh that little strip of show.

450
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 5: That's how I had an attitude at that point. I

451
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 5: was like, they don't want me, and so she was like,

452
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: just read the script. And so then I took pictures.

453
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 5: I'm a PK preacher's kid. Took pictures of me being

454
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 5: a PK. Mercedes is a PK. Took pictures of me

455
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 5: teaching Miss Tina how to dance at the Hip BT experience.

456
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 5: Took pictures of me and my daddy at church, like

457
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 5: whatever you needed. Then I got the audition, did the

458
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 5: chair routine when there was no one even in the

459
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 5: room to see me. When I tell you, they could

460
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: care less that I came in that audition. At first,

461
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: I just had the reader in there, and now I

462
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 5: remember her looking.

463
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 4: From the side.

464
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 5: She was like, where are you from? I was like Memphis,

465
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 5: She's like where you been? I said, waiting on y'all

466
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 5: to call me in. And so then I got the

467
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 5: call back and I called ivari. I was like, listen,

468
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 5: we got it up to Andy now. And so I

469
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 5: read the script that said that it was six inch

470
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: hills was in the pilot script. So I said, I'm

471
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 5: gonna do the routine and six inch chills and so

472
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 5: by the time we finished that routine, I was doing

473
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 5: front hand springs and six inch chills. I worked with

474
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: my acting coach, Raquel Gardner to make sure I was

475
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: locked in and the rest is history.

476
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is great for me being a dad, right,

477
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: for daughters, two sons. My two girls dance, right, and

478
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: it's a lot of money. Yesterday, it's a lot of money.

479
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: And they dance. I mean they get out of school

480
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: at three o'clock. They dance from four to eight, six

481
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 3: days a week, competitions, we fly all over the place.

482
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: But I always just like, well, what's the end goal?

483
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

484
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: Because you spend so much money.

485
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: And I like it because it keeps them away from boys,

486
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: It keeps them out out off the phone, off the internet,

487
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: or out the malls.

488
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: But I always like, well, what is the the.

489
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 5: Well I paid a school was paid for so I

490
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 5: got a full scholarship at the University in Memphis, and

491
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: they can get the scholarship there. They can get scholarships.

492
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 5: If they don't they don't want to go to college.

493
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 5: They just want to go and train, you know, Alvin Ailey,

494
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 5: you know different things.

495
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 4: So there is an end goal. Katie Perry.

496
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 5: I toured the world with her, so and then I

497
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: became a choreographer, So all of that is very important.

498
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 4: They're gonna need that on that resume. So there's an

499
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: end go.

500
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 5: They paid mama's medical bills, it might be paying yours

501
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 5: one day.

502
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: You never know, how did you feel? Because when they

503
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: do dance and they just don't do hip hop. They

504
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: they do tap, they do baallet, they do everything. Actually

505
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 3: you need it, they really into it. But how does

506
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: it feel because there's not too many of us out there?

507
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: Like when we go to these competitions and.

508
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 4: We go, oh, yeah, I was the only black girls.

509
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: That only black girls. It's good because they're recognizable. Soon

510
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: as they see me, they be like, oh, that's your kids.

511
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: But how did that affect you mentally?

512
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: I think because I went to perform in our school

513
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 5: where we were very diverse, but like on Memphis Elite,

514
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 5: I was many times I was one or two black

515
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 5: girls when I was the only black girl on scholarship

516
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: my freshman year at the University of Memphis, and back

517
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 5: then it was just known that it was going to

518
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 5: only be one and I remember I was fighting for

519
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 5: that one scholarship but I was like, how many black

520
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 5: girls one?

521
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: But I really didn't think anything of it.

522
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: I think because my dad kept me in such diverse schooling.

523
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 5: Are they at a diverse school? Yes, I think that

524
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: that's the world, though I feel like a lot of

525
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: times we may be the only one. So for me,

526
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 5: I felt like it's been a blessing for me because

527
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 5: some of my friends are actually unable to navigate that

528
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 5: diversity and like, you know, it's only one of us,

529
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I ain't paying no attention to that

530
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 5: because I've been around that my whole life. So I

531
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 5: think that it's cool they know how to navigate in

532
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 5: those different worlds right now.

533
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: You know, people talk about the physicality of Pep Valley

534
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: all the time, but what's something mental about that role

535
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: of Mercedes that people don't realize.

536
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a really good question. My back is still

537
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 5: in the workman's comp though.

538
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 4: Right now.

539
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 5: But I think mentally for me, let me just say,

540
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 5: because I talked to high school English, so then I

541
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: jumped into that accent so hard back home that a

542
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 5: lot of times my friend be like, you can you

543
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 5: get out of chuck Atleasta? Because what happened to your

544
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 5: like what happened to your dialect? So I feel like

545
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 5: it shifted that. But mentally, we were filming so late

546
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 5: at night, you almost like you almost felt like you

547
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: were a part of that world so much. You're going

548
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: to bed when the when the sun is up, and

549
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 5: then you're going to work, and we're we're literally on

550
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 5: set at two three in the morning and then going

551
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 5: to bed at seven am, like you were really immersed

552
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 5: in that world. So I think that this season you're

553
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 5: gonna see some some things and you'll understand when you

554
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 5: see it that it took a lot for me to

555
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 5: get some of those things out of my head. Season

556
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: two was tough because of my daughter and the abortion

557
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: scene and all of that information. But I also my

558
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: daughter passed away, so I had a steel birth and

559
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: so she would have been the same age.

560
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 4: Lyric would have been the same.

561
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 5: Age as Azaria or Tererica on Pa Valley, So that part,

562
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 5: you know, mentally for me was tough because I felt

563
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: like Azaria, it was like my daughter in real life,

564
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 5: so things like that, detaching from that at times so

565
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 5: that those.

566
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: Scenes were emotional.

567
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: Those were the most emotional, but they were the most

568
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: beautiful to me. Because it felt like I got my

569
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: baby in a sense. It's like God gave me a

570
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 5: Zaria who played Terarika in that same age, So it

571
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: was like I was able to have my baby girl.

572
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: In season two of Pivley.

573
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 5: Now that you say that, yeah, you were more your

574
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: Mercedes definitely was more emotional, and it was a lot

575
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 5: more scenes where the stories were crying too, trying to

576
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 5: think all the steaks at hand of trying to save

577
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 5: her baby, and that was the whole thing, just trying

578
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 5: to make life better for herself and her child and

579
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: then her mother exactly the exactly. It was very tumultuous,

580
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 5: and that was my real life a little bit not

581
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 5: like that. And now she wasn't Patrice Woodbine, but me

582
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 5: and my mom had a tumultuous relationship. So I was

583
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 5: able to And where was that.

584
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 4: In life?

585
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: No, not just in life. I think it was just

586
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 5: that mother daughter dynamics. Sometimes that could just be like that.

587
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 5: But when I start caring for her, you know that

588
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 5: had to shift because you gotta forgive. But I was

589
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 5: able to use p Valley season one to get out

590
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 5: everything I'd never say to my mama, And oh, I

591
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: get to say what now okay, so just healing, healing

592
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 5: through p Valley.

593
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 4: I feel like that was a very healing.

594
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: That was a great segue because I was going to

595
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: a playing that dynamic change how you see generational trauma.

596
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, I was just talking to someone about that

597
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 5: certain things isn't necessary, isn't necessary to get that whooping,

598
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: isn't necessary to beat them? Can you actually talk to

599
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 5: them and tell them what's going on?

600
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 4: You know?

601
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 5: Can we can we communicate better? So I do think

602
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: playing those different roles, you don't have to yell and

603
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 5: scream and and be little, you know, because the hope

604
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 5: this is the same person that you're belittling. It's the

605
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 5: same person you want to come to you and trust

606
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 5: that you can. They can tell you their deep secrets.

607
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 4: Come to me, come to me. We don't want to

608
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 4: be scared.

609
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 5: So that that to me made me pay attention to

610
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 5: you know what, if im I'm blessed to be able

611
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 5: to be a parent, I would parents so differently. But

612
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 5: I also the older I get, I also know we

613
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 5: all do the best we can because I feel like

614
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: all of us, you know, our kids could probably say

615
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 5: the same thing, like when you did this, you did that,

616
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 5: you're doing the best you can, and the older you get,

617
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 5: you start realizing, you know what, my mama, Mama really

618
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 5: did the best you could.

619
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 6: But I do realize as a parent, every child challenges

620
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 6: you do.

621
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

622
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 6: You think you're gonna parent all of them the same,

623
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 6: you can't.

624
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: No, No, I mean there's a core foundation of love, right,

625
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: I know you love them, but no, they all will challenge.

626
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 6: You in different way.

627
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, words, did you challenge your mother? I don't know.

628
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 4: Mama will swing on me so quick. I don't.

629
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 5: I don't know that I got that challenge. I might

630
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: have tried to challenge one time and never again. Yeah,

631

638
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 5: How does she I'm not gonna cry, I'm not. I

639
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,120

640
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 5: I don't know that she knows. Almost every day I'm

641
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: reminding her.

642
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: Of who I am, but she remember, Does she remember you?

643
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask that at a days.

644
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 5: Yes, Sometimes she doesn't, and I go and hide in

645
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: the closet, and that's the biggest acting job I've ever done.

646
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 5: I'll go put myself on speakerphone and I'll go call

647
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 5: her daughter, Brandy, and then I'll hide in the room

648
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 5: and talk to her, and I'll come back and it's

649
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 5: like almost like the notebook. Sometimes like she'd remembers sometimes

650
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: sometimes she doesn't. I'll say, you know, where do we live?

651
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 5: She'll say Memphis because she remembers Memphis. But then I'll

652
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 5: point to myself on the screen and like she saw

653
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 5: reasonable down had an attitude.

654
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 4: She was so upset. I was like, Mama, it's not real.

655
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 4: I really did not touch that boy.

656
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 5: But then then I'll come back and then she'll be like,

657
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 5: I was like, that's me and she was like really,

658
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 5: you know. So it's just I've learned to not not

659
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 5: make them confused more by it and just be like, yeah,

660
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 5: you know what, it's okay, it's okay.

661
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,720

Speaker 1: And then when I got up, she knew who I

673
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: was and it was the weirdest. It was the weirdest thing,

674
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: like she knew me.

675
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,919

00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: You know she walked and she did.

707
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: You know, there was a couple of times like I

708
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: remember one time she walked out the house. So my

709
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: daughter was watching, and my daughter was young at the time, sixteen,

710
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: and she said, Grandma, and you know, she walked out.

711
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: My daughter Grandma, where you going? And so you know,

712
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: Grandma said, get off me. She was like no. So

713
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: Grandma slapped her right and she's like, where are you going?

714
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: She was like, I'm going home, Grandma. You can't go home,

715
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: and there's beers out there. She was like, well, pray

716
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: for the beers.

717
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 5: I't worried about my baby. They don't like for you

718
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: to correct them, now, don't.

719
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 3: That was one and another thing that we still have

720
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 3: to watch what she well, watch what she watches on

721
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 3: television because her favorite show was Judged.

722
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: You they Maury love that.

723
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 3: Well, what happened at night? You know the way we

724
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 3: like feed the dogs and feed that. She would cry

725
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 3: every day because you see that and think she had

726
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: to give to the dying dogs and dying cats and

727
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: dying kids in Africa with the flies, like that would

728
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: affect her like she would be balling.

729
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 5: I'm so glad you said that because I tell my

730
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 5: caregivers that. I said, we keep it light in here.

731
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 5: We don't watch the news in the house. No, we

732
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 5: don't turn on. I was like, if there's a movie

733
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 5: and you see something said, if you about to cry,

734
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 5: turn it, like because I don't want her crying. So

00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: How does the experience of being a kid given for

750
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: your mother's sharpen your emotional strength as a performer?

751
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: I think patience. That's a good question, emotional strength.

752
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 5: I just feel like if I can make it through

753
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 5: caregive and I can make it through anything, because most

754
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 5: times I will jump on the carpet and you don't

755
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 5: know if I've just left the emergency room or I'm

756
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: trying to manage a UTI or trying to set up scheduling.

757
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 5: You know, just yesterday walking down walking down the street

758
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 5: in New York, and I'm like what, I'm like, Lord,

759
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: I just want one day where I don't have to

760
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 5: manage it. But then I have to check myself because

761
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: I'm like, there's gonna be one day where you wake

762
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,239
Speaker 5: up and wish that you could be stressed out. But

763
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 5: I just tell myself if I can handle all this,

764
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: Like I don't know what it's like to study lines

765
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 5: and not have Mama in the other world. So the

766
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 5: blessing is okay, So you've done this well caregiving.

767
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 4: What will happen later on in life?

768
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, because my whole career has been while

769
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: caregiving for Mama. Season one, I had her with me,

770
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 5: So when we were wrapped the show, I know my

771
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 5: castmates were probably like.

772
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: Dang show, never want to go nowhere with us.

773
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: I was with Mama, and I was embarrassed to tell

774
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: them what was going on with Mama. But if Iri

775
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: knows that all my furniture got broke when I came

776
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 5: to Atlanta, and I was hiding that I was sleeping

777
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 5: on the floor the whole first half season of Pea Valley,

778
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 5: only my best friends knew that. Wow, because I didn't

779
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 5: want the network to find out and think that I

780
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 5: couldn't handle it.

781
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: So a lot of times I do hide what's really

782
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: going on. You know.

783
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's got to be like this. It makes

784
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: you thinks like what is what is your purpose?

785
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 4: Right?

786
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: Because I have the service in a way. But then

787
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: it could also feel like your purpose because I feel

788
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: like what you're doing, documenting it and telling people who's

789
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: gonna help so many other people.

790
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 6: But then you're also an actress, so it's like, what

791
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 6: is Brandy?

792
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 5: I think I'm still trying to figure that out. That's

793
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 5: that's why I'm still trying to figure out. I know

794
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: that I love acting, but I love my mother more,

795
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 5: and so she's gonna always always say I'm a caregiver

796
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 5: first and then I'm an actor. But then I was

797
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 5: crying to my friend should other day. I was like,

798
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 5: so if mama passes, what do I have? Like though,

799
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 5: that's just authentic being authentic right now, like what do

800
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 5: I have? I keep saying I'm hustling for mama, hustling

801
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: for mama.

802
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: What about me?

803
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: So I don't even know what that is right now

804
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: because all I can see is where's this next job?

805
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: Because I gotta feed my mama and I got to

806
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 4: take care of it. I mean, we are.

807
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 5: When I audition for Pee Valley, Mama was on a

808
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 5: camera in my phone because I couldn't afford a caregiver.

809
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 5: So I woke up early, I fed her, and I

810
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 5: put the phone in my purse, rushed to will share

811
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 5: the audition was like Mamma, on the way back, rush back, Like,

812
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 5: I don't know what it's like to just live and

813
00:31:59,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: be in the career.

814
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 4: So what does what makes Brandy happy? Like what do

815
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 4: you do? Do you ever just go out to dinner?

816
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm by myself a lot, Like you know, I

817
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: love a good dinner. Yeah, I'll find the time because

818
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: the caregivers like, I'm like, y'all please, can y'all just stay?

819
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: And some nights I'm like they're like, well you're back home.

820
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 5: I'm like, can you spend a night so I can

821
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 5: just sleep through the night because I'm not going to sleep.

822
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 5: But I love to watch movies. I love to go

823
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 5: to a movie. I love to go to run your

Speaker 5: beach and just hear the water. So and ride my bike,

826
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 5: but just moments that I can just hear myself because

827
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm always listening for my mother.

828
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: Yeah in every way.

829
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how did faith guide you during like moments

830
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: when acting roles weren't coming in as fast as you.

831
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: Hope everything, because I didn't get my first acting role

832
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 5: until I got Mama. But that was my prayer, like, God,

833
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 5: please bless me to be able to take care of

834
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 5: my mother and have the job now.

835
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 4: Need to be a little bit more specific, Lord, please.

836
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 5: Let it be able to be smoother so I'm able

837
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 5: to have the jobs to take care of her now.

838
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: But it's so stressful, like sometimes it's not fun because

839
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 5: it's it's like everybody's like, look what you're doing. I'm like,

840
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 5: but you don't know that by the time I go back,

841
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,360

Speaker 4: coming out.

859
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 5: You know what, I will say, they're sitting on it.

860
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 5: I think they're just perfecting it even more. You know,

861
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 5: our show runner co Tory Hall is very specific, and

862
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 5: that's the reason y'all love it so much is because

863
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 5: she pays attention to those details. She makes sure that

864
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 5: everything's perfect. I mean even our closed caption. We want

865
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 5: to make sure it's right, so y'all know what we're saying.

866
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: So she just posted a couple of months ago that

867
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 5: post production is done, So I think we're just.

868
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 4: Waiting to get the word. But I'm waiting, like y'all

869
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 4: because it's a it's a good one.

870

00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 4: It's gonna be crazy and y'all, y'all gonna lose it too.

874
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 5: And the show couldn't have been casted any better. Like everybody,

901
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 5: somebody was like, don't just be walking up in here

902
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 5: after you shot somebody. I was like whyzy, Like I

904
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 5: does she know you like to shoot people?

905
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my goodness.

906
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

907
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 5: They going hard for Brandy to be Oh and you

908
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 5: know the finale, I took the wig off and I

909
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 5: came out with the set it off braids and it

910
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 5: was like, yo, yeah, but.

911
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't break it down.

912
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 6: I've got two more questions. It's about Mercedes.

913
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: But what's the lesson from real life Brandy that Mercedes

914
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: that's really needs.

915
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 4: Oh oh, that's a good question. A lesson from Mercedes

916
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 4: is pretty dope.

917
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 5: Maybe that even when things look like they aren't gonna

918
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 5: go the way you want them to keep going, don't

919
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 5: let it break you. Because I feel like at times

920
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 5: you saw Mercedes break a little, but she always picked

921
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 5: herself back up. But I think I've gotten better with

922
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 5: as of late just being like, all right, it's gonna

923
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 5: have to work out, because we a lot of times

924
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 5: we freak out first and then we circle back. I'm

925
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 5: getting better. Ain't there yet, but I'm getting better with

926
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 5: just being like.

927
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 4: It's just is what it is. It's gonna work out.

928
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, So let's flip it. What's a lesson from Mercedes

929
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 6: that real life Brandy.

930
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 4: Needs that hustle. Oh that's good.

931
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 5: You know what, don't be afraid because I think about

932
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 5: you know, Mercedes going after her gym, and I want to.

933
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: Write my book. So as you as you called me

934
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: out on this in this moment, what you're so scared

935
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 4: of Brandy write your book right?

936
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 5: Yes?

937
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: Brand okay, all right?

938
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, because she went after it anyway when things and

939
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 5: I always keep saying, yeah, I know why I got

940
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,279
