I 60 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: I cared you guys from high school to your college 61 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: years when I was you know, which was funny, you know, 62 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: trying to look at get some riture stories here, and uh, 63 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: y'all wanted y'all realized y'all your role in life and 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: things like that, and and and but it was really 65 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: growing up in that bottle. It's a bottle, because a 66 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: fish bowl is some people saying and being able to 67 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: step out there and grow um as a as a 68 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: child star and then becoming an adult star. Talk about 69 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: that during a little bit before we get into the 70 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: actual a lot of different story points. I want to 71 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: talk about you all the successes to have right now. 72 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: You know, I really feel grateful and the less to 73 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: have had the parents that will have, the parents that 74 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: I have, UM during that time because as we all know, 75 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: when you're a child in this industry, it could be really, 76 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: really harsh. And the reason why I say that is 77 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: because a lot of the time you don't see these 78 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, young child actors make that transition. UM. You know, 79 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: some of them end up, I mean a lot of 80 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: them ended up, you know, they were suicide, um, drug addiction. 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: But my mom and my dad, they really really protected 82 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: from that. And I think, if I can make this 83 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: long story, sure, what really helped was my mom used 84 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: to always tell us, do not let this business to 85 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: find who you are as a person. And it was 86 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: so beneficial to me because she made me realize that, 87 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, Hollywood is very sickle, meaning one minute you 88 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: could be hot and then the next minute you could 89 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: be not hot. So if you really hold on to 90 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: defining yourself, Um, you know, with you know, having this 91 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, success story at such a young age, and 92 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: then when it falls for a minute, you know, you 93 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: could find yourself into deep depression. You can find stuff 94 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: going to substance abuse and you know, suicidal thoughts. Um. 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it was easy. It was very 96 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: hard because, like I said, it happens to almost every 97 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: child actor. One minute you're on a show and making 98 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: lots of money, and then the next minute you're not 99 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: and nobody cares about you. So my mom she really 100 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: prepared us mentally to allow us to see that, you know, 101 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, need to define yourself and that you know, 102 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: define yourself in your character, to find yourself in your integrity, 103 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: to find yourself in being a good, kind hearted person 104 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: and continue to work hard and go after your dreams 105 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: and never give up. And that's what really, you know, 106 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: that's what really helped me or guided me, you know, 107 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: into being you know, an older you know actor. Absolutely, 108 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: and I agree because you know, I know her mom. 109 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: She was on the set all the time. I've been 110 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: on sets with other children child child stars, and sometimes 111 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: the parents will show up. Sometimes they wouldn't show up, 112 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: and that affected these kids that I see because I've 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: been I've been fortunate to watch a lot of I've 114 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: been on a lot of family shows, so I've watched 115 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: children grow up into adults and disappear, or we have 116 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: very angry lives or what happened to my life get pigeoned, 117 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: and she was always there. We always had great conversations 118 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: and mean while I was wearing my stylish suits, you know, 119 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I had my suits to mama. So this was I 120 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: really led about about what I'm seeing about your career. 121 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: You know, is that the YouTube channel? You know you 122 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: got the you know you got everybody got social media, 123 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: every media Okay, you know you're popping these supposed to 124 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: have social media. Okay, you know you got following us 125 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: and all that stuff TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. But the 126 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: the YouTube channel is where you can really when people 127 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: start following you and subscribing to your YouTube channel seven 128 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: six thousand. Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy, you know. Like 129 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: you said, a lot of people have YouTube channels. But 130 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: for me, where I always find success is when I 131 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: am just true to who I am. I never let 132 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: anyone tell me what you know, hot, what's not right. 133 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: I always go with my gut, meaning whatever I'm going 134 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: through personally in my life, that is what I want 135 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: to portray because with that comes authenticity. So behind the 136 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: inspiration with my YouTube channel came me just wanting to 137 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: create a community where moms and just women or just 138 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: anybody in general could come together and learn, you know, 139 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: these life hacks that could get them through life. Because 140 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: especially when you're a mom, a working mom, or just 141 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: when you're juggling so many things, and you know, family 142 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: is very important to me and I don't I don't 143 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: ever want um. I don't ever want to lose that. 144 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: And so I know that when you have a busy lifestyle, 145 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: sometimes that's sacrificed, meaning spending quality time with your family. 146 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: So I just wanted to build a community where you know, 147 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: people can go to my channel to be inspired and 148 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: uplifted because I have inspirational talks on there. Um, I 149 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, show my personal life meaning my my daughter's birthday. Um, 150 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, just to give them joy in their lives. 151 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: And men also cooking. You know, I love, I love, 152 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: love love to cook, and for me, cooking is about 153 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: bringing the family together and creating memories because that's what 154 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: would happen with my family. And so I would find 155 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: that a lot of people just didn't know how to 156 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: do it and they were so overwhelmed and they felt 157 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: like they had to be professional chefs to get you know, 158 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: food on the table. So I said, you know what, 159 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: let me just come out with the YouTube channel called 160 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: Tamor's Quick Fix. And again this was all me, like hounding, 161 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: like I'm the person where the reason why I have 162 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: the career that I have to is because I don't 163 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: give up number one and I hound, I tell people 164 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: what I want. I don't wait for people to you know, 165 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: do something for me. I learned that at a young age, 166 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: you know that if I want something, I have to 167 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: go out and get it myself. So I you know, 168 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: created the YouTube you just for that, so people could 169 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, be inspired and uplifted and just have the 170 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: safe community that they can you know, talk to and 171 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: share stories and learn. It's powerful and it's powerful and 172 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people understand that when I when I, 173 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: like I said, interview people a lot at least you know, 174 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,479 Speaker 1: five people every week, and as entrepreneurship is entertainment. And 175 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: I did not look at you know, here's the deal. 176 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: She was born with a twin okay, and so her 177 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: sister was passionate about acting. You know, your new deal. 178 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: When you hit that set, where's the script? And I 179 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: knew because we were to talk, we should talk. You know, 180 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: we just go out to dinner.

But I could always tell that really wasn't 185 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: your passion because you had to find something else. And 186 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: now acting there's part of your passion. But when you 187 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: have all these talents, that's when I look at this 188 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: YouTube channel.

We're talking about your cookbook. 409 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: Whole new you. Okay, roasted and beat salad girl, you 410 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: know how what a nut I am for beat? I really, 411 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: my god. I love going to restaurant. But every restaurant 412 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: can't do beat, you know, make them into these big 413 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: old chunks. And I go, really, yes, really? You you 414 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: have to like carrots? Yes, okay, you have to try 415 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: the the roasted rainbow care at Specialty. I make that 416 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: several times and that's so good too. The thing about 417 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: me and whenever I cook and if you follow you 418 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: know fumres quick fix or if you um, you know, 419 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: look through my cookbook. And then the main thing about 420 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: this cookbook is, you know, I wrote it and I 421 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: was inspired because I was dealing with something called endometriosis. 422 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: And I absolutely love food. But when you have a 423 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: highly inflammatory condition like endometriosis, you have to stay away 424 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: from certain foods that exacerbate the inflammation in your body. 425 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: But for me, I love food. So my point is 426 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: is that even though it's healthy, it has to be 427 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: very tasteful. It has to have flavor. So that's one 428 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: thing about you know, these recipes that you will see 429 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: that it's you know, instead of using regular milk, it 430 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: was use you know, non dairy alternative um. But you 431 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: will not be sacrificing on that labor. So my point 432 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: is is that the beat the caesar salad and the carrots, 433 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 1: even though those are like we're on the healthier side, 434 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: they're so finger looking good because you know, there's a 435 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: lot of flavor in there. I throw that in there. 436 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just going through word. This is a 437 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: quick it's tears quick fix. This is rashwan quick look 438 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: in the in the cookbook. Okay, okay, and the and 439 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: to close it out, you really you really shut me 440 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: down with the classic hammas. Oh my god, oh yes, 441 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: oh yes, oh yes, I love hammas.

Um and and you know what 448 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: I like to do is I just like to create 449 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: some sort of like a snack, you know what I mean. 450 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: I'll do the hummed and then I'll chop up some 451 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: cucumbers with some carrots, and then I'll put you know whatever, 452 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: all of the choice that you like, and then you 453 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: even can throw some crassers in there. And that's what 454 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: you can put hummus on. Or sometimes what a lot 455 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: of people do is they used to pea bread. But 456 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: that right there is a very healthy, feeling delicious meal 457 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: or snack. But not only that. You realize when you 458 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: buy hummus from the grocery store, those things, especially when 459 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: it's organic, could be like around five six dollars when 460 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: you make the hummics to yourself, you can, you know, 461 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: add more salt, more garlic or whatever you want and 462 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: it's cheaper. So I have a big old bowl, I 463 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: put some, I put it a cap on it, I 464 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: put it, slide it in the cent a share for 465 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: the refrigerant, and just be eaten.

When I see names like Richard Rowntree, 502 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: I see names like Loretta Divine, I see names like 503 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: on a show with that much working history.

I always say, this 506 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: is so cliche, but she is so divine. She's taught 507 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: me what's so amazing about her as an actress is 508 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: it's not only as an actress, just as a woman, 509 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: a black woman being in this business. She's taught me 510 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: how to She's gentle, you know what I mean. Like, 511 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: Loretta Divine is so divine. But when she sees something 512 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: that she doesn't agree with, when she's feeling something that 513 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: she will stand up. And I just love to witness that. 514 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: And I tell her that all the time because you 515 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: know she has to yourself. But I said, the sport 516 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: to it when she like really like stands up for 517 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: what she believes in. And you know, I've been in 518 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: this business for such a long time, and I'm gonna 519 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: be very honest with you from an after standpoint, I 520 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: never had that strength. I'm saying, I don't. I don't 521 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: know if this is working for me or I feel 522 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: like like she's you know, and of course she's earned 523 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: it because she's a legend um. But it's so beautiful 524 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: to see her just command of seeing command of the stage, 525 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: just you know, be in her presence. And then Richard Richard, 526 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: when I say this is the coolest man that he 527 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: this man and I'm not kidding, he has a cigar 528 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: and he walks around with a cigar. And what I 529 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: love about him is, you know, we share trailer, so um, 530 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm on one side, he's on the other side. And 531 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: so whenever I come outside, I see him just sitting 532 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: in his chair, just smoking his cigar and just laid 533 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: back and chill and as ever he is just And again, 534 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: this thing that I love, what I've learned about Richard 535 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: as an actor is if he just has one line, 536 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: you could tell that there's a huge story about that 537 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: one line that he's given himself. And and I'll give 538 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: you an example that and I haven't even told him this, 539 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: but maybe I should. He was explaining pie, you know, 540 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: and just the way that he used his body and 541 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: his body what I mean by body is as an actor, 542 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: like his body language, you could tell that he was 543 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: tasting this pie and he had history with this pie 544 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,479 Speaker 1: when he just mentioned I and I'm like, I picked 545 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: that up. As an actor, I was like wow, Like, 546 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: of course, with the with the script, you always have 547 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: a backstory and you always know what's going on within 548 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: the script. But he goes even deeper and you could 549 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: tell that there's experience in history with whatever is coming 550 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: out of his mouth. And I think that's what makes 551 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: it so grounding and that's what makes him just such 552 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: an incredible actor. But as a person, he is, he is, 553 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: he's really chaff, you know, you know, I you know, 554 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: you know we were talking your I I want these 555 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: folks to think I'm talking in town, up your time, 556 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: but to uh you know, you know, as I said, 557 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: are you know we talked about the vitamin company.

Let me just get the vitamin out. 560 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: So anyway, so I have a supplement line called answer right, 561 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: I can do this very quickly. So again, everything that 562 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: I do is because I want to inspire, and I inspired. 563 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: What inspired me and motivated me to come out with 564 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: this line Number one was my personal health history with indometrios. 565 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: Is I already touched on that UM. But you know 566 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: how I was able to make the symptoms just become 567 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: suppressed and just you know, developed this wellness was I 568 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 1: changed my diet, I started to take supplements, I started 569 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: to meditate, I started to exercise, and I saw a 570 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: huge shift in my wellness in my house.

I did not the diversity 573 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: at all. So I wanted to change that. I was like, 574 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: not on my watch.
