31
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,600

00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: little old Indie cat is right is right up there

Speaker 1: us out loud. We appreciate it. It's true and also

43
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: like another reason why leaving the reviews on Apple podcasts

44
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and subscribing work because new listeners can find us, and

45
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: it also shows folks that are watching at the network

46
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: level that there's an audience, there's an engaged audience and

47
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: engaged community. So all of that stuff matters. So when

48
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: you leave comments on the social media post and platforms

49
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and all of that and on the Apple podcast, it

50
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: really all comes back to us in a very positive way.

51
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: So without you know, forcing, y'all, please go leave a

Speaker 1: But we also want to talk to you guys about

71
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: Patreon because we kind of have to have a little

72
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: bit of a conversation with you guys, like we have

73
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: to have a talk, like maybe the talk actually, So, UM,

74
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: we are going to be wrapping up our various seasons

75
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: at some point, um relatively soon before the end of

76
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: the year, and because we do have a lot of

77
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: production costs and if you guys have noticed, we haven't

78
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: had an on air ad in quite some time, which

79
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: means we don't have any money coming into the podcast.

80
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna be doing is um slowly transitioning

81
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: to putting new episodes on the Patreon. So if you

82
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: want to hear new episodes, we're going to be putting

83
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: them on the Patreon at some point until we hit

84
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: a desired number of subscribers before we launch season six.

85
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: So we'll still be putting out content new content. It's

86
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: just gonna be on Patreon. We'll still be doing interviews,

87
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400

90
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: ready in anticipation for this period of time. We are

91
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: not the only podcast to do something like this. It's

92
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: actually a very common sort of subscription. Um. You know,

93
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't know technique that other podcasters used. So if

Speaker 1: a business, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so you know, our

96
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: goal is to reach a certain amount of patrons that

97
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: we're still trying to figure out in terms of production

98
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: costs and working that all in. So once we have

99
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: that goal, we're gonna ask you all to help us

100
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: reach that goal so that we can launch season six

101
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: as we normally would. But we have a lot of

102
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: production costs and we're still an indie podcast and have

103
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: lots of things that we're also working on, you know,

104
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: so we'll talk more about that in the future. And

105
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: you know, we are. We just had a consult today

108
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: up all of that because that was a really big

109
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: part of one for us, was getting the campaign out

110
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,159

Speaker 1: podcast parties and events. We had not done a party

164
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: in like years now because of the pandemic, like we

165
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: were so sad not to be able to do look

166
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: at that Alive a podcast party last year our annual event.

167
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: But we have a little something planned for this year.

00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: So once again follow us, subscribe to the newsletter because

169
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: like now we're back in the swing of things. We've

170
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: got events on calendar, we're taking meetings, we're making things happen.

171
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: So join us. Yes, I will say though, like obviously

172
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: the pandemic is not over, and so it was a

173
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: very COVID cautious as cautious as possible. There's always a

174
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: risk and it's just up to each person to mitigate

175
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: what what their comfort level is. I have not gotten

176
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: to anything, and I will say that we were checking

177
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: for COVID vaccines or a negative test um within seventy

178
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: two hours, and we were matching ideas, we were doing

179
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing. So we were as cautious as possible

180
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: because we're of course still in a pandemic um, but

181
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: we are you know, picking up the events and doing

182
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: that as safely as possible. So if you're still a

183
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: little hesitant and anxious to come out like I am,

184
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: like it was a very friendly, safe event outdoors masks on.

185
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Lots of people were wearing masks and taking them off

186
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: to smoke or for photos or to drink and then

187
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: putting them back on. So you know, do what you

188
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: will with that outdoor venue. Um, I don't know a

189
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,520

216
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: a big one Times Square. We were a part of

217
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: Spotify's Eckcampit Latinox Heritage Month campaign along with other creators,

218
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: creatives in the industry, among like all disciplines. And we

219
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: also got a billboard and so we're really excited. It

220
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: was like a very surreal moment. How did you feel

221
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: when you saw the photo that someone shout out Emily

222
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: our makeup artists siblings. Um, she took the photo for us. So, um,

223
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: what did you think when you saw that photo that

224
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: Emily Center? I was like sucking. Finally we get our

225
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: billboard have I not been ranting and raving I want

226
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: to build board? Have I has been saying this for years? Honestly,

227
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: she really has. She's been saying for years. So when

228
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: do we get a build? Where's our billboard? Do we

229
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: get a billboard? Where's our billboard? We got it. I'm

230
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: the first of many first. This is just the beginning

231
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: and not bad. So our first billboard is a big

232
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: gest times square billboard for Spotify on Broadway across from

233
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: the Ernstein Young Building. Not too shabby. Up for nine

234
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: separate days throughout Hispanic Heritage months. So not just once,

235
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: not just twice, not just four times, nine separate days.

236
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: We just needed to be understood. We're like fifty ft

237
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: tall over there. We look amazing. We look amazing. Shout

238
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: out Robert for our makeup. We style ourselves like we

239
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: always do for the most part. We for the most part,

240
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: we almost always style ourselves and it came out really beautiful. Yeah.

241
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we occasionally will work with with like Brenda

243
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: with styling on other projects and things. Um, but yeah,

244
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: like for that shoot, it was interesting because you know,

245
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: if you guys have done photo shoots, sometimes it's like

246
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: come with a bunch of different outfits that are your

247
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: own outfits that you put together and then model them

248
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: for us, and then we'll tell you which of your

249
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: outfits are good enough for our shoe. Essentially, yes, but

250
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: we looked cute. We pulled it together. We did we did.

251
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: It was very cute. I'm really proud of us. It

252
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: was a really great way to kick off Lennox Heritage Month.

253
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Also approaching our five year lookover sory like, yeah, it's

254
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: it's been hard to all to keep it going, not

255
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: for lack of wanting to, but there's lots of things

256
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: that happened behind the scene that can be they can

257
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: get us really down, you know, and so well, we're yere,

258
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: we're recording, we're producing, we're doing it, we're putting the

259
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: content out. But it's been hard. But those moments are

260
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: definitely not worth it. But those moments definitely remind us like, Okay,

261
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: there's we're doing this for a reason. We're going to

262
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: keep it pushing. We got this and it's all going

263
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: in the memoirs. Oh yes, it's all going in the

264
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: script for the for the feature film for the screenplay

265
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: about our lives written by us starring us. Okay, well,

266
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: how would you feel if there was a TV show

267
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: made about us and you acted as you, but I

268
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: did not act as me? Would you cast someone else?

269
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you act as you? I'm confused. I don't

270
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: know if I would want to be the lead for me?

271
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: What if? Can I? Can I hire someone to be me?

272
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: Who would you hire to be you? I can't think

273
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: of anyone. I can't think of anyone. No one can

274
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: be me. You have to play yourself. Yeah, I don't

275
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: want I can't see myself doing that. I can see

276
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: myself writing, I can be in the writer's room, I

277
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: can be directing. I don't even know what to say.

278
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: We're going to have to talk about this, because then

279
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: that's a different story. If those are different people like

280
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: who is this? Who is that? It would be someone

281
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: acting as fiosa, like someone hired as I wish I

282
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: could see my last face. She is not having it. Okay, fine, okay, okay,

283
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. You

00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: clauses tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, an acting coach goes a very

286
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: long way. And you know what, every all those all

287
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,280

Speaker 1: all right, and we'll be on our way. Okay, Well,

291
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: Mola's forcing me to be an actress to all it here. First,

292
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: I resisted, I have already had you acting for years now.

293
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: She really has. It's very true, you're an actress. Has

294
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: me memorized scripts all the time. She's like, you can't

295
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: read off of the paper, you have to memorize it.

296
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, crying traumatized flashbacks of Catholic school. Mine,

297
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Oh, No, I have become like the

Speaker 1: theater director. Yes, nightmares. Yes, MoMA is my stage mom. No,

299
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: she's not. MoMA's great. She's great. She keeps she MoMA

300
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: pushes me forward when I'm feeling shy, because I'm a

301
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: shy girl, and so she pushes me forward. That's why

302
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: this dynamic works, y'all. Five years later, it's so true.

303
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Balance and very supplementary, complementary skills and things. Yeah that

Speaker 1: when you came up to me and you came up

356
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: in your little green dress and your I thought it

357
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: was the cutest. Oh my god. I was walking around

358
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: like a little sunday Ya that day. You know that song, um,

359
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: it's like a classic like dance Latin pop song is

360
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: called Bailando. But you reminded me so much of the singers.

361
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: She's so cute. I was like, oh my god, look

362
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: at her. I felt the same way about you at Leisale.

363
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: So I'm so happy to have you on. Um. So

364
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: let's just let's get into it, and I want to

365
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: hear about just your origin story, a little bit more

366
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: about you, who you are and how you got into modeling. Okay, Okay, well,

367
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: I guess we can start from the beginning. So, Um,

368
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean as a little kid, I've always been really

369
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: into fashion and glamour. I used to me and my

370
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: mom used to sit and watch novellas from like seven

371
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: pm to like ten pm, and I every single night

372
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: we watched Solid the Ones, and so I was really

373
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: into those glamorous women that used to come out on TV.

374
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh my god, like you know, like

375
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: they were just everything to me. Um, And so that

376
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: really fueled like the ambition to want more, I guess

377
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: because I would see it on TV and I had

378
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: my godparents, Miss minos Um, were immigrants to like my

379
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: mom and dad and their friends from like the same

380
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: pueblo in Mexico, and they came here and they started

381
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: like selling food on the side of the street to

382
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: like owning their own produce business, and they had a lot,

383
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: Like they were very wealthy people that were very self made,

384
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: and so being around not having a lot, but being

385
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: able to have access to like going to their ranch

386
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: and seeing their big houses, and you know, made me

387
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: really realize, like I can have these things too if

388
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: I really work towards them, you know, like it's not

389
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: unreachable for me. I've always kind of even when I

390
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: was little, like I always kind of was aware of

391
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: just like I've always wanted to make my own path

392
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: and make my own way. Um, I couldn't. I worked

393
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: for a long time for people and for companies, and

394
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: I just hated it, honestly, Like I I'm not the

395
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: kind of person that can sit behind a desk. I'll

396
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: get fired like that, Like it's just not even funny,

397
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: Like I can't. When I was you know, I spent

398
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: a lot of time as an adolescent just like really

399
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: being closeted and having this like really um coming home

400
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: and just kind of having an escape in the novellas

401
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: and just seeing like, oh my god, like these people

402
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: and this glamorous you know, all these things. Um. So

403
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: that's where the fuel for like modeling started for me. UM.

404
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: Once I graduated high school, I started to how did

405
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: I honestly how it started is crazy because I was

406
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: like nineteen and one of my friends at the time

407
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: she signed me up for a modeling contest at the mall. Um,

408
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, I haven't thought about this in a

409
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: long time. This is funny. Which mall which mom, I

410
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: was like the go to mall, like it was there,

411
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: you know, yes, yes she she Um, she signed me

412
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: up for this thing and for this contest that they

413
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: were having there, and I was I was like, okay,

414
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: I'll do it, you know, you know, like I just

415
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: I've always kind of needed a push in away and

416
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: she pushed my ask like she literally was like you're

417
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: doing it, you know. So I was like okay, fine, Um,

418
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: I did it. I ended up winning for the guys.

419
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: So they had like a like it was from men

420
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: and um and I won and so um. Once I

421
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: won that it kind of I remember thinking like okay,

422
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: like fierce, like I can really like go after and

423
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: I what the prize was was, um, you got like

424
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: a little not a contract, but it was more so

425
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: like you were able to meet with an agent and

426
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: you know they would like push you to like which

427
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: direction you wanted to go. So I was doing that. Um.

428
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: And it was just a really different time and at

429
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: that time, I feel like everyone knows that you know,

430
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: from our generation. Um, how fast the times have changed. Um,

431
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: because when I was starting, they're only looking for a

432
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: certain type of look, and if you didn't fit that,

433
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: you basically weren't getting any work. You know what kind

434
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: of look was that? I think we know, but let's

435
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: let's say what kind of look was that? Cutter Caucasian

436
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 1: you know, that type of you know Abercrombie look. Um,

437
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: that was. If you didn't look like that at that time,

438
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: you were not getting anywhere basically you know, um, very

439
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: like aero pasta what have you? Right, So if you

440
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't look like that, if you didn't have like how

441
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: do I put it? Um, you know those features? Uh,

442
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: it was really hard and I wasn't getting any work,

443
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: so I took a long pause, I guess from doing it. Um,

444
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: I really just focused on myself and uh, acquiring new

445
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: skills and everything that I already had, I brushed upon them,

446
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, like everything that I had naturally, like my creativity,

447
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: the you know, I really studied what I wanted to do,

448
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: Like I really took train for Like I learned how

449
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: to runaway walk from Ford models. You know, they taught me.

450
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, I took classes where like addiction, and you know,

451
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: I really wanted to like really if I was gonna

452
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: do it. I was like, Okay, I'm not getting nothing

453
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: done right now. They're not letting me be who I am.

454
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: You know, I can't get any anywhere with myself, so

455
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: let me work on myself. And I did that. Um,

456
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: I took a long positive guys, maybe like from the

457
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: time I was like, let's say twenty three two up

458
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: until maybe like, um, so those four years I was

459
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: really just not doing anything creatively. I was really working

460
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. I feel like a lot of people

461
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: don't know that too, is that I worked a lot

462
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, Like I've been in a system for um,

463
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: photo shoots, for theatrical shows, UM. And then eventually I

464
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: started my own little production company and I would produce

465
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: shows from my friends at a theater that I used

466
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: to work at. So I got really in touch with

467
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: that whole behind the scenes aspect of it and learning

468
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: a lot behind the scenes and realizing how important it

469
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: is to have a great team and to get along

470
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: with your team. And it's not really you know, when

471
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: a movie star wins an award, it's not really the

472
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: movie star who won the award herself. It's literally her

473
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: and the whole crew that won the award. You know,

474
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: she couldn't have done it all herself, So I really

475
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: had to learn that. Yeah, Like I stopped doing behind

476
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: the scenes work. Um once the pandemic started, I guess, um,

477
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I came back home because my mom

478
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: and dad's health kind of declined a little bit, and

479
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: so I came back and I started to take care

480
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: of them. And honestly, seeing them go through it with

481
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: their house really was like a like a huge fire

482
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: in my ass, and I was just like, you know what,

483
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what then happens, Like I'm going to

484
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: go after it like fullhead on. And that's what I've

485
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: been doing recently, Like I've just been, um putting myself

486
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: out there a lot, using my whole like brown body,

487
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: and just using it as a form of expression, and

488
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: that's really what and doing everything that speaks to me,

489
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: And that's really what's been, you know, opening a lot

490
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: of doors for me, just really going after what speaks

491
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: to me. Thank you so much for sharing Elisao. I

492
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: have to say that I think we relate very strongly

493
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: with your story as creatives who you know, it's hard

494
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: out here in the various industries, and it can be

495
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 1: very like discouraging when you're not getting booked, when you're

496
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: getting booked but trying to pay you whatever the case,

497
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: exactly as you've probably seen. And then you know, we

498
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: live at home, we contribute to the households, like our

499
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: parents struggle. We're trying to retire our parents. And how

500
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: do you make art when you don't have the resources available?

501
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: So I'd also love to hear like, you know, how

502
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: do you just persevere and keep going? You mentioned the

503
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: family lighting a fire under your ass. I'm thinking to like,

504
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: on the business side of things, how do you keep

505
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: it all sustainable? We'll see. I think for most creative people,

506
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: most creatives are not business people. We tried, but we're not.

507
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: Are not to get an accountant, yea. So it's very

508
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 1: important too, at least for me. Um, I bounce off

509
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: of a lot of I mean, I have really good

510
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: role models, like my mom. Um. She used to work

511
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: for the district for a long time and then she

512
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: like the same as me. She honestly, I'm like a

513
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: huge reflection of my mom. I feel like because she's

514
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: very creative. She quit her secretary job for the school

515
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: district and and she started working for herself. She Um,

516
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are familiar with Lincoln Heights,

517
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: but there's used to be a mini model. Um, and

518
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: my mom used to own like three shops in there,

519
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: and she used to sell addresses and for weddings. And

520
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: then so I was it was all of us, like

521
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: me and my brother and my sisters were used to

522
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: be there on the weekends and help her Broadway on Broadway. Yeah,

523
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: and so it was saying we did that, um selling

524
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: dresses and succeedos. And then she had a gift shop

525
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: and so we all learned how to gift wrap and

526
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: do all those things. UM. Honestly, that part of my

527
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: life I think shaped me a lot too, because I

528
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: was around such eccentric Um. I've always been around to

529
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: such eccentric people like my mom and dad's friends, my

530
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: mom and dad themselves, my uncle's aunts and then their

531
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: friends in the swap me girl, Like we're just personalities

532
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: that you could not imagine, Like you cannot make these

533
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: people up, Like they're just so such characters. Oh my god.

534
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: I used to love going to work in the Swat.

535
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. I wish and you know,

536
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: it's so poetica. Everything ended. We literally got to notice

537
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: that the um the landlord was selling was not renewing

538
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: her lease like the week, like a day before we

539
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: had to like know yeah, like a few days before

540
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: we had to like vacate everything, and so everybody was

541
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: scrambling like the last few days just getting their stuff out.

542
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can I ask which swapped me? The

543
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Lincoln Minimal? So I swapped me. I mean just because

544
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, a little stand and that

545
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: stands with just like little shops. You know that we're

546
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: one um. But I used to love it, like every

547
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: I used to love being friends with all of my

548
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: mom's school mothers that were there and all the like

549
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: their husbands were so fun they were so funny, and

550
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: the people that used to shop there. It was just

551
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: a great time. I really enjoyed being a part and

552
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: like of the community in that way, like being around

553
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: just like characters and just people that are everyday people

554
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: like you learn so much from, you know, like people

555
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: like that that are just um trying to survive but

556
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: also show up every day with a smile on their

557
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: face and a good heart, and you know, it's so

558
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: much you can learn from people like that, you know,

559
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: just a lot. Yeah, yes, I appreciate that too. Has

560
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: I feel like you meet people in the community and

561
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, this person could be like headlining

562
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: stand up comedian, Like this person is presence and personality

563
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: and jokes and outfits, and there's a lot of people

564
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: like that and what like you're in the in the

565
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: swap meet or at the church or wherever in the neighborhood,

566
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: wherever they are. Um, So I love that, so thank

567
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: you for bringing that up in your story. It's the true.

568
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: And I like what you said earlier about how do we,

569
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: as like people of color, how do we get ahead

570
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: when there's so m just like not adversity, I guess,

571
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: but just like so much we have to overcome to

572
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: get somewhere, you know, even just like us as creative

573
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: people or just people that don't do the norm of

574
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: just like working at a job somewhere that's such a

575
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: like kind of taboo, and like the Latin community, because

576
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: it's like you come here, you're part of a foundation,

577
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: whether you realize it or not. And when you go

578
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: off the norm, you know, it's kind of like your

579
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: parents kind of freak out. They don't see it as

580
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: something uh worthwhile or anything that will lead for you know,

581
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: any success. You know, you kind of have to prove

582
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: yourself to your family when you're not when you're a

583
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: creative person. You know, yeah, we do. I feel like

584
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: it's more like something to talk. I feel like it's

585
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: such a bigger deal when you know, some when we're

586
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: able to get somewhere. That's what I guess, that's what

587
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. Yes, I mean we're definitely underserved

588
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: and right and under resourced, and so when we're trying

589
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: to explain to our parents what we do, you know,

590
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: we post pictures online, you know, you know what I mean.

591
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: Obviously it's more than enough. But like they don't, they don't,

592
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: they don't like how do they describe it? Right, It's like, oh,

593
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: c Internet, But it's labor. It's real work, mom, it

594
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: is it is. It pays the bills. So, speaking of

595
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, you've done some incredible campaigns. I would love

596
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,560

605
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: well that, like I guess when you say it like that,

606
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy, huh. But I've literally just been doing

607

Speaker 1: all these things. Um, honestly, like I've gone either I've

608
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 1: gone after them where I've been hit up for them.

619
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: So when Span still gave me the opportunity. He really

620
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: was the first one to give me something like that. UM.

621
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: I was the first openly gay Chicano from us l

622
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: A to be in his in his ads, you know,

623
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: like it's a big deal, you know. UM, that's a

624
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: very hetero brand, you know, like h and to have

625
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: me and they used me like it was. I remember

626
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: shooting it and it was a shoot was like a

627
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: bunch of people and we were all in front of

628
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: a car and it was the sunset was coming down.

629
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: That was such a beautiful shoot, by the way, I

630
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: remember that happened and I was just thinking, like, oh

631
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: my god, like this is like a movie. But it

632
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: was stunning. UM. And I didn't think that they were

633
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: going to use just my photo for the app for

634
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: that campaign. I really thought, because there was so many

635
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: people involved, that they wouldn't they were going to use everything.

636
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: But they just used my my photo and the clothes

637
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: sold out. And that's happened for every brand that I've

638
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: worked with. UM. Every single time they put me in

639
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: front of the camera with some whatever I'm wearing, it

640
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: sells out. And it's not even like it sells in

641
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: a few days. It sells out in less than to

642
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: me four hours whatever I'm wearing for them, UM, And

643
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: that's fierce, girl, because as a gay person to be

644
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: doing stuff like that is crazy, you know. Um. So

645
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: I did that for Spencer and I worked with him again. UM.

646
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: He gave me an opportunity to have creative freedom for

647
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: a shoot for one of his collections and that was

648
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: so much fun. UM. I literally just shot everything with

649
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: two with three of my friends, a photographer, UM, a director,

650
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: and my friend who owned an al Camino. Her name's

651
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: Prisca and she was assisting me the whole day today,

652
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean the whole that day. The whole day she

653
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: was assisting me, and it was just such a great

654
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: time and the work resonated so well with everyone. I

655
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: was really pleased with the product and I was really

656
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: happy to see that Um. It was also like one

657
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: of the biggest like post ever UM on their page

658
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: and he told me that he sent me a message

659
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: and he was like yo, and he was all excited.

660
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: It was so fun. So that happened with UM Born

661
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: and Raised, and I just feel it's such an iconic

662
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: and it's starting to become like such a part of

663
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: l a culture, like you go anywhere now anywhere where

664
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: there's a big crowd and you'll see multiple people with

665
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: something from born and raised, you know, and so to

666
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: be a part of that is such a big deal

667
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: to me. So I'll always be grateful to that suspense

668
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: it for that experience. Um, the Dua Lipa and the

669
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: Doja Cab music videos, Honestly, Doja Cat was so much fun.

670
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: I did. I did not. You know, when you meet

671
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: these people, you do not like you have preconceived notions

672
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: about it. You just feel like there's such huge stars

673
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: that you don't have time for nobody or anything, you know.

674
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: But when I walked into set for the Doja Cap

675
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: music video, I showed up in like this this orange

676
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: number that I have and it's like an orange two

677
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: piece that I wear. And I showed up and the

678
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: stylists they took me to the stylists and the style

679
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: just looked at me up and down and she was like,

680
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, you don't need a nothing, and she's like,

681
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: you're find the way you are and she all they

682
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: did because it was like a futuristic, uh alien theme

683
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: music video. Um, all they did was just put like

684
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: a headpiece saw me on one eye. So I looked

685
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: like a cyboard and then they just did like some

686
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: makeup on the other eye, and then they threw me

687
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: on set and then she walked in the Jaquat and

688
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: I was in a scene with her, so it was

689
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: basically her the girl that was my scene partner, and

690
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: then me and then Stosia's love interest was standing next

691
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: to me, so we were in a clip the whole time,

692
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: and we were standing next to each other while they

693
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: were organizing things, and do Jaqat walked in and she

694
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: was real sweet to everyone. She said hi to everyone

695
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: and then she would like compliment people, and she was

696
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: really great about acknowledging everyone in the room and being

697
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: real sweet to everyone. And then she she saw me

698
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: and she was like, oh you know she did. The

699
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: whole reaction was just like oh my god, like I

700
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: love your look and I don't know what and she's

701
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: and I told her like this is me, like I

702
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: wore this, and then she was like what she was like.

703
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: It was just a cute ass experience and she kept

704
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: offering me shots the whole time. It was so funny,

705
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: but she was just a really nice, sweet girl. Um yeah,

706
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: I had a great time on that set. It was

707
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: so much fun for Dua lipa. Um. That was a

708
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: whole other set where it was just stunning. It was

709
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: just the contrast between the stats is insane. Um. We

710
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: shot that video um in Santa Monica at the old

711
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: the original Getty Villa, so it was just stunning. I

712
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: was it was like inside basically like a little castle.

713
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: And I remember when I first saw Duali because we

714
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: shot for two days and the second day was when

715
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: she was going to be on set. The first image

716
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: I saw of her, she was walking down the spiral

717
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: staircase and she was wearing a white like debutante gown.

718
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she looks so stunning in person. I

719
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: had like I she was like, I'm stuttering because she

720
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: was so pretty in person, like beautiful full. I was like,

721
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: this sucking bit. She looks like a full princess walking

722
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: down these stairs. She was studying everything and again, very

723
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: sweet girl, very kind. Um. So it's really nice to

724
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: meet these people and they're really nice, you know, they

725
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: they're not. I guess it's kind of an insecurity, I

726
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: guess with within myself. You know, you're just just expect,

727
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: you have certain expectations about people, and you feel like again,

728
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, they're so busy, they don't have time.

729
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: Their world is so wrapped up into they're doing, like

730
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: they don't have time to acknowledge anyone. But they were

731
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: real sweet, real kind people. So yeah, it was a

732
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: great experience. Um, and everyone I've met on those sets

733
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: who I've had friends, we became friends, like a lot

734
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,839

00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: first time that I saw your picture on Instagram, I

749
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: So sweet. Honestly, No, I grew up not really feeling

750
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: or being this way. Um, just because I grew up

751
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: closet and I grew Uh. I also grew up overweight,

752
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: like I was really like I was a big girl,

753
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: and so I um all the attention that I get

754
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: now just because I really worked on myself and I really, um,

755
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, I started doing what speaks to me. UM.

756
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: Once I came out. I came out later in life.

757
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: I didn't come out as a teenager. I came out

758
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: basically as a young adult. UM. And so before that

759
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: I was closeted and I didn't really go out. So

760
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: when you say, like where this person from, that's literally

761
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: what everyone in like the gay community has the same

762
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: reaction with me because they had never seen me. Um.

763
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: I have a friend who's like a world famous drag queen.

764
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: Her name is Valentina. UM. I remember the first time

765
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: we hung out. UM, we went to dinner and gave

766
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: me like this whole speech is like, girl, I know

767
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: everyone in the stage. She's like I know everyone. She's like,

768
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: and I've never seen you before. She's like, where the

769
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: fund did you come from? Like very that you know? UM,

770
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: And I and once I started coming out and being

771
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: around the girls and everyone, that was the same reaction

772
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: for for me, it's like, where did you come from?

773
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I've literally been here in my whole life.

774
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: I've just never been you know. I was really I

775
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: grew up really shy and really um reserved. And then

776
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: once I stopped being that way, and it was just like, no,

777
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be myself. I only really have a

778
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: short amount of time to really find out who I

779
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: am and you know, really go after life. You know,

780
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: I started traveling and really going UM to all parts

781
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: of the world and really diving into cultures on my own.

782
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: Like I traveled a lot by myself, UM, and I

783
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: feel like that's such a big investment in yourself for anyone.

784
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: You can literally literally learn so much about yourself if

785
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: you are alone and you have only yourself two UM

786
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: look after and to fend for yourself. It really it

787
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: really does, like UM teach you a lot about yourself.

788
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: And I really recommend that to anyone. UM travel and

789
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: travel alone at least once in your life. You'll learn

790
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: so much about yourself. You know, it doesn't matter where

791
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: you reason, you know totally. I mean there's definitely a

792
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: theme here because our last episode we were talking about

793
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: solo travel and then we had the Brown girld travels

794
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: on the following episode, and here you are giving the

795
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: same advice. So I definitely think that, yeah, there there's

796
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: so much and hopefully someone takes what they need from that.

797
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: You know that it's it's good to get away wherever

798
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: that maybe even if it's locally. UM, and to do

799
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: it alone I think is important as well, very important.

800
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: You learn so much. And then just because like I said,

801
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: I think because we're people of color and we're Latino,

802
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 1: especially for Latinos, families are very um, it's really deeply

803
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: rooted in our like culture, you know, um be families first,

804
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: family is important. Um, you're always you know, taking care

805
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: of your family. It's not just about you, you know,

806
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: it's very that's the culture. UM. And so when you're

807
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: able to and I love it. I'm not saying that

808
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: it's a bad thing. It's such something beautiful that us

809
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: Latinos have, is that we're very family oriented. Family is

810
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: very important to us. I think that's very important and

811
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing, like a beautiful trait to have

812
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: as a culture. Um and so. But I also think

813
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: it's very important for you to grow as an individual

814
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 1: and know who you are outside of your family because

815
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: you're family, yes, but you're also an individual. You're also

816
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: this is also your life on this earth. Like you

817
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: have to know yourself fully, you know, and um, you

818
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: can only do that if you're by yourself and really

819
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: able to think for yourself. If that makes sense, it

820
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: totally does. I mean, beautiful pearls of wisdom from a

821
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: beautiful person. I cannot tell you how delightful this interview

822
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: has been. I think that there are a lot of

823
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: people out there who are watching you and following you

824
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: and are curious and want to know, like the story

825
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: behind the face. Yes, I will say you have like

826
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: you're very approachable, at least now you are. You also

827
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: have this very like mysterious demure to you. It's like yes,

828
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: um and so, Yeah, you're very approachable, very sweet, but

829
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 1: also like you have this very like soulful mysterious energy

830
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: to level. Before we yeah, before we close out, I

831
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: did want to ask you about your last name, Aguia

832
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: and where it's from. And you you mentioned pre interview

833
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 1: that like it's very unique to a very specific place.

834
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that real quick. Okay. Of course

835
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: I love having this question because I always grew up

836
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: Um really, how do I put it? Proud and always

837
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: really aware because my uncles would always tell us. I

838
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: remember my grandma's house. My grandma lived like in Compton,

839
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: HP area, UM, and she had this tree and in

840
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: like this huge tree and it was spitters and she

841
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: my uncle's carved our last name into the tree and

842
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: like big gas letters. And I was like a kid

843
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: when this happened. I was probably like three or four,

844
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: and I remember seeing it as they were doing and

845
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: when they were done, and I was just like, what

846
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: is that? And then my uncle told us a whole story,

847
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: and I thought it was like a whole like um.

848
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a like a make belief story.

849
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: But I went to Mexico when I was nineteen and

850
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: my uncle who's my grandma's brother, told me the same

851
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: story and he showed me books about it and it

852
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: was crazy. I was just like, oh, wow, this is

853
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: really true, like it's real. So the story is a

854
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: kiwa Uh comes from Metrakan, Mexico. Um. It's a tribe

855
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: of people and basically anyone who has The last name

856
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: is a descendant from a king that was from that

857
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: part of the of mexico Um during the Conquistades when

858
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: they were coming to Mexico Um. The reason why it's

859
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: so revered is because the name, the full name and

860
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: then it's been broken down through the years, was lee Tekiwaki,

861
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: and then they shortened it through the years, like thousands

862
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: of years later or I don't know how many years later.

863
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: Honestly they shortened it down to a kiwa Um and

864
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: the ways what the last name is now. But basically,

865
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: the reason why it's so revered in Mexico is because

866
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: that king was really a fierce warrior and he was

867
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: really um smart. So he was one of the him

868
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: and his people were one of the few tribes that

869
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: were conquered because whenever the conquists tried to come and

870
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: take over, they knew their land so well and where

871
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: they're like everything. They knew everything about their land, and

872
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: there were such good fighters that they always killed them

873
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: in their traps are like along their tracks, like they

874
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: never got to fully conquer them um. So anyone who

875
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: has the last name Um is basically related to each

876
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: other along the line. Thank you so much. For giving

877
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,320

896
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: One of my sisters just bought a house recently and

897
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was such a cute little sign. Or

898
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's just me being very spiritual. Um, but she

899
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: bought a house in Monterey Park and you guys, I

900

Speaker 1: don't know if you guys are familiar with Money Park,

901
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: but you know how when you're like by the a

902
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: MC theaters, there's like like those little mining things. I

903
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: don't know what they are on the side. It's her oil.

904
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: It's like oil exactly. I don't know why I thought

905
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: it was mining or something like that. So I was

906
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, look like we're like we

907
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,879

909
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: thing right there. You know, you're trying to put the

910
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:12,919
