Speaker 3: a lot of people are fans of electric.

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, guys, we are trick in the studio.

41
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, hold on, let me cut the

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: hot dog first. Yeah, go for it, do that first

43
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: down the I already washed my hands.

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: By the way, yes, she went in our bathrooms. But

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: was it an experience?

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: It's lovely.

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: I was like, when when we're in the Eating while Broke,

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: just remember the name of the show's Eating while Broke.

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: So as you prepare this classic dish, when was the

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: last time you had this?

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: I would say the last time I had this is

52
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: probably within the last couple of years. Like, even though

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: this is a meal that I've aten while broke, to

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: like the taste of it. It reminds me of home,

55
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: so sometimes I have a craving for it, so I

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: definitely ate it. I love that the last year or so.

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I love that. So you'll be at home and

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: you'll be like, you know what do I have?

59
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: I got to taste the beer.

60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: You know what?

61
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Though, I feel like the baked beans and hot dogs

62
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: is one of those OG classics because I think people

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: who've had this on the show like still get down.

64
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's different though, some people at brown sugar, some people

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: at white sugar.

66
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: Which one do we have to I was thinking it.

67
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: I was like, dang, should I have to ax for

68
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 3: brown or white? But as long as it is sugar,

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: I don't think it's so funny because baked beans are

70
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: naturally sweet.

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: But I see guests add sugar to it. I'm like, okay,

72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 2: I guess you don't ask.

73
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: You never ask sugar.

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge baked beans and hot dog person.

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: I think the most baked beans and hot dogs I've

76
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: ever had was on eating while broke.

77
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: It's like four times.

78
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So as you get in this Frina of the

79
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: hot dogs. Why don't you take me back to what

80
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: was going on in the original og era of baked

81
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: beans and hot dogs as.

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: A tool of this is what we do on a

83
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: typical day.

84
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: I would say, just growing up in Philly and living

85
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: at home having eight siblings and.

86
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: Eight siblings, yes eight, So you grew up in the

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: twin bunk with the bunk bed air.

88
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: I have my own room, been a princess. Oh okay,

89
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: you know, no, but I'm my mom's only girl. Oh yeah,

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: but I have two sisters on my dad's side, one

91
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: of my mom's only girl, and my household. I have

92
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: my own.

95
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: with a bunch of rambuncious boys. Them boys was probably hot.

96
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: Exactly.

97
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: How many of your brothers had the share room.

98
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Growing up to my brothers? Yeah, oh, it was just

99
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: too we didn't. We all didn't live together in the

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 3: same house. I have eight siblings, but we all didn't

101
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: live together. At certain points in times we did.

102
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you're the youngest.

103
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: I'm the youngest girl, but I'm not the youngest child brother.

104
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, but your second to the youngest. Yes, he was

105
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,920

106
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

107
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: I could only imagine having boys, and all of a sudden,

108
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: you get a girl.

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: He was in competition on who was the baby? Yeah,

110
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: because I'm the baby, because I'm the girl.

111
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess this thing on? You know what?

112
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,400

00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: Oh I should be on.

114
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:05,960

00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: No, I don't see this one. Read you said it's

116
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: this one.

117
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, it's red. It's

118
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: turning around. I see I see the red. Matter of fact,

119
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: let me turn on my camera.

120
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So on your dad's side there was sisters or

121
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: what on your dad's.

122
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: Side, Yes, somebody said I have two sisters.

123
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: So you said that.

124
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: At some points you all lived together. But then at

125
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: some point you went, are.

126
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 3: They're they're older than me? At some point like when

127
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: my years that I can remember, they were already starting

128
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: their lives and their family and stuff like that when

129
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: I was still in like middle school and high school

130
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: and stuff.

131
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: So your parents did the whole I'm going to parent

132
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: from my entire life journey.

133
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: Yes, and now my mom has a dog and her

134
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: baby her name was Chicago's, which is hilarious.

135
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: Antiter I refuse to be ampty nester.

136
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Still being a parent, could you imagine having that many

137
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: kids calling you all the time, like you would have

138
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids though you do, okay, And my

139
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: suspect is you don't have any right now?

140
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: No, I don't okay, Okay, got to get the right one.

141
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: Gotta get through one. Listen. Choosing who you have kids

142
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: with so important. I almost think it's more important than

143
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: who you choose to marry. True at this point, leave

144
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: the marriage because if you do separate, you got a

145
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: cold parent. Before.

146
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I used to be like, I don't understand when like

147
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: dudes have they have baby mama before they get married.

148
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense if you're willing to have a

149
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: kid with them, marry them or whatever.

150
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: But I don't know a lot of guys think like that. Man,

151
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: I don't know why. It's bizarre. Yeah, because it makes

152
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: no sense.

153
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: It makes no sense.

154
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: No, I think we're in a we're in the new

155
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: age where marriage isn't really the priority and everyone's finding

156
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: a way to avoid it.

157
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that, Yep, they'd rather be a

158
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: baby mama.

159
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it boils down to and people are

160
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna hate me for this, but I don't think they

161
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: want the full responsibilit Yeah, and I think women this

162
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: is also going to probably fall weird, rarely placed in words,

163
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: but I think women at some point thought some women thought, oh,

164
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: if you have a baby with someone, like trap them.

165
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: But like men trapped women, men trap women for sure.

166
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. Men definitely trap women.

167
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: God yeah, men one hundred percent trapped women one hundred percent.

168
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: Believe that I've had excess. Tell me, like I knew

169
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: I should have had a kid with you, like I

170
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: knew I should have.

171
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: Yet to I'm going to catch you? How about that?

172
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I believe that. But no you are, No,

173
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: you're not. Women are pulling with so much weight right now.

174
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: They don't they smart now exactly.

175
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: But I will say this though, for the women that

176
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: did think that that's how you trap someone, it's actually

177
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: backwards because you become the bucket of responsibility. And if

178
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: a guy is trying to avoid responsibility, you go from

179
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: fun girls to.

180
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: Responsibility and that changes really quickly.

181
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: So just in case you're thinking it, don't do it.

182
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: No, it's not gonna help your situation. It just makes

183
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: it worse.

184
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: But going back to your story, eight kids, princess in

185
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: the house, parents, middle class, upper middle class, poor, I.

186
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: Will say, what's middle class?

187
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: The middle class is you're not qualified for food stamps,

188
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: but you're getting by. I would say that's class because

189
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: middle class is like, you're getting by, but you don't

190
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: qualify for no breaks.

191
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, to tell you the truth, my mom worked

192
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: in school system, okay. And my dad he's retired now,

193
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: but he was a cop. Okay, so I would probably

194
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: say middle middle class maybe, yeah, upper middle class, maybe

195
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: upper upper middle class okay, okay.

196
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: Shout outs to your parents.

197
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: And they stayed married, they stay may Yeah, they're still married. Yeah,

198
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: look at them, little non empty I'm still I need

199
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: all that that I grew up with.

200
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: And they had a blended family.

201
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: Yes.

Speaker 2: So they came and dad came in with how many.

00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: is that four? Because eight?

205
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,160

Speaker 3: she had four. Yeah, so she.

211
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: Basically took on daddy plus four.

212
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm it's a it's crazy to explain it. Okay,

213
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm my mom and dad daughter. Then I have two

214
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: other brothers. That's my mom and dad son, and the

Speaker 3: came in with his kids.

217
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, so your mom was zero.

218
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Yes, she was a free agent, she said one plus

00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: she added five five a team.

220
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: Yep.

221
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, your mom's a trooper. Shout out to your

222
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: mom for that period. Okay, so now you guys growing up,

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: tell me, are you starting to think about acting, modeling, producing,

224
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: what's going on.

225
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: I've been in dance and acting in theater and all

226
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: that stuff my whole life. So I've been doing that

227
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: since I was three years old. My mom had me

228
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 3: in every single thing that she could think of. I

229
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: played tennis, golf, soccer, violin, piano, everything. But what ultimately

230
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: stuck with me for a while with dance?

231
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

232
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've danced all over the world. I danced professionally,

233
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: and then from there I moved into being a creator.

234
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and what made you want to step away

235
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: from dance to get into being a creator.

236
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: I felt like in Philly, I felt like I've reached

237
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: my peak. And I had been living at home until

238
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: I was like twenty four. Okay, so I've really had

239
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: a real sense of responsibilities and bills and all that

240
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So I will say my eating while

241
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: broke really happened for me when I transitioned over to La. Okay, yeah,

242
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: you left Philly to come all the way over here,

243
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: my first time moving, my first time paying my own.

244
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: Why did you go that far?

245
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to live in LA and I'm like,

246
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: I'm a risk taker, so I'm like, no, I did not.

247
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 3: I went to one of my cousins like own a

248
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: bar lounge, and I went and I did hosting there.

249
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: But I'll say that like two thousand dollars and I

250
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: was like, this is enough to move me to LA.

251
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: I didn't last about two weeks listen.

252
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: And I booked my flight. I told I was telling

253
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: my mom. I kept telling her like, I'm moving to LA.

254
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm moving to LA. And she didn't think that I

255
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: was erious because he had money. Yeah, but I'm like,

256
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: I'm moving And I had reached out to friends that

257
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: I knew that lived out there and whatever, so I

258
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 3: knew I had somewhere, I had all my in order,

259
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 3: so I thought, this is after dance though, yeah, you're

260
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 3: like that said, I'm packing up, packing up now.

261
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: It was the money in dance good.

262
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: No, I would say dance dancing doesn't really pay your

263
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: billing and know that until I moved to LA because

264
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: I went out there to pursue, I was like, I'm

265
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: going to be Beyonce's back on dancing. Yeah, that was

266
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: my dream. And then I went to my first audition

267
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: out there and I forgot. I think it might have

268
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: been for Usher or for somebody, and it was like

269
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: so many people, hundreds and hundreds of people, and I

270
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 3: was like, okay. And then when I start seeing like

271
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: the pay and really being it's not going to make

272
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: no sense.

273
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: And then I've heard different stories. But when you're in dance,

274
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: the treatment of dancers.

275
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: Is all the way great. Either, I'm not really I guess.

276
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: It depends on who you're touring with and stuff like that,

277
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: but I'm not really. I'm not really sure about that,

278
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 3: but I just know that as far as payment through trushan.

279
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: Nope, but just put it somewhere it's eating while broke.

280
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I just know that as far as like living stuff,

281
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: that wasn't gonna work for me. But I also used

282
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 3: to take a lot of pictures and stuff like that.

283
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: So one day I was doing my regular thing like

284
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: I normally do, posting pictures of myself on social media,

285
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: and then the brand pre little thing reached out to

286
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: me and yeah. They were like a fashion over type yes,

287
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, we'll send you free clothes for

288
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: you to post, and I'm like clothes. Okay. I had

289
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: moved to La I had been like staying at like

290
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: staying with friends, like extra rooms or on the couch

291
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 3: or whatever, and in my mind, I was like, I'm

292
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: not going back. I'm gonna make it work. My mom

293
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: didn't know. She knows now, but she didn't know any

294
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: of this. While I was out there. She would call me,

295
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: how how are they going. I'm like, it's going great,

296
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: going to Pop pause and getting me two wings in

297
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: the biscuits, trying to make it work.

298
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: But you didn't want to tell her the truth because

299
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 2: you know, she would have been like, bring your home.

300
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: I'm booking. Oh my mom always had a flight ready

301
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: for me.

302
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 2: You're her Princess a flight. You ready to know that?

303
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: Now she doesn't. It's so funny because for a while

304
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: she was like you ready to come back. Now she's

305
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: finally girl, You're good.

306
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: But does she come out to visit you?

307
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Came out couple of times. But yeah. The brand

308
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: reached out to me and they sent me clothes. And

309
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 3: then from here I was like, oh, okay, I have

310
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: to spend money on clothes. And then I start looking

311
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: this might be done. And then I start looking into

312
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: that world and I was like, oh, you can get

313
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: paid from posting on social media, and then I really

314
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: just started diving into that and then came just me

315
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: having brand deals with different fashion companies Savage Fente. From there,

316
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: that's how I started my content grating and started with

317
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: photos at first.

318
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: And then who was negotiating your deals for the brands?

319
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: Was it just you direct?

320
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was just me. It was just me.

321
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: Some brands will run off with the money, run off

322
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: with the money.

323
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: Still to this day that happens. That's why it's good

324
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: to have a team with you.

325
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: And what do you mean, like you post a pic

326
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: the ghosts ghost gone.

327
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's why it's good to have a team

328
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: and having people who know leave stuff and having a

329
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: lawyer and stuff like that so you can get your money,

330
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: because it still happens to this day, but it's like

331
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: worse when it happens while broke the hell.

332
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine too.

333
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: The payment isn't right away either too, because for a

Speaker 3: I knew that now, but back then I didn't know

340

Speaker 3: all the stuff. I just thought I get my money, But.

341
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: Wasn't enough money to sustain That was quick?

343
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: Wasn't enough money to sustain you? Though? No.

344
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: For a long time in LA, I was, like I said,

345
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: I was like rooming with people. And then I got

346
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: into when I was still getting like my free clothes

347
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: to posts. I was a teacher's assistant when I was

348
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: working with kids who have autism. So I was doing

349
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: that for a while, and then the pandemic happened. Hey

350
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: that's a pay day, listen. And then that check was coming.

351
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: When was it that check that was.

352
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: Coming every that I didn't sign up for it, but

353
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: I know simulus.

354
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: Yeah it was stimulus, but people were people are getting

355
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: paid more than they had ever got paid, and they

356
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: hold PPP.

357
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: I did PPP, by the way, I did that. I

00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: still own money from PvP. Shout out to p PP.

359
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: But at that time there were some people that hadn't

360
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: even made that much. I think they were paying during

361
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: the pandemic. I want to stay between four and six

362
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: k a month. People were making.

363
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: I think that maybe maybe I'm wrong.

364
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: I got the one I got one thousand summer wrong,

365
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: some one thousand a month something like this. It was

366
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: enough for me to pay my bills and for me

367
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: to feel like I was on top of the world.

368
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, shaped in your apartment, can't go nowhere, but I

Speaker 2: There was no traffic.

371
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: Do you remember that? No, I was. I was scared

372
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: to get First of all, I court COVID, I court

373
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: every strand after the after the lockdown. Ain't that crazy after?

374
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: Not even during? That's because you was safe at home

375
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: the whole time and the door. I was like, I'm no.

376
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: I was paranoid at first, and then people were like,

377
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: I God. I would come out masked up, wash my

378
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: hands a million times, like I was that person hands

379
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,560

00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 3: I caught every you're hilarious.

381
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: I remember the rest of my costs COVID. They said

382
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: I looked like death.

383
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh. I was like, oh man, oh yeah I was.

384
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: I'm not a person that takes me sick.

385
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah.

386
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: COVID sucks because you can't even get attention while you

387
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: say you tracked, because nobody want to.

388
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: You'd be like, good luck, buddy, what you mean you're

389
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 3: not dropping off? No food?

390
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the loneliest sickness you ever had. You'd

391
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: be like, come on, man, it ain't that bad.

392
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: They'd be like, I'm good exactly exactly. Yeah. So COVID happened,

393
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 3: and then I was able to at that point I

394
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: had roommates. I have roommates, had got myself together. Whereas

395
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: though I could be able to afford roommate situation, and

396
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: that situation was crazy because I lived with two girls

397
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: whom they were not clean.

398
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: And that's the worst. Did you have to share a bathroom? Yes,

399
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 2: because let me tell you something. To have a roommate,

400
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: the key is, don't share a bathroom. Does if you

401
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: share a bathroom with someone that's not clean.

402
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's the nightmare. Let me when I

403
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: tell you, this girl will have her pennies on the

404
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 3: door knob. Gross the shower it with me clean. And

405
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: it was at one point where I was like, I'm

406
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: I literally got like a housekeeper, or when I'm going

407
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: to come in to come like deep clean this thing,

408
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: deep cleaned it. She deep cleaned it. I went in

409
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 3: my room to get myself ready for the shot because

410
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 3: I should be able to take a shower first, because

411
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: I didn't want to for the clean you know, she

412
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: hopped in the bedroom for me and got in a shower.

413
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: I almost lost it.

414
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: I most lost excuse me, miss, excuse me, town and

415
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: all get on out.

416
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: And not only did she do that, she didn't clean

417
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: the shower when she got out.

418
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: So when I went and it was dirty again, I

419
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: lost dirty that quick? That dirty? That quick? Are you

420
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: OCD clean? Because how does it get dirty that quick?

421
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: Dirty? And at the time I was dating somebody, so

422
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: I wasn't. Eventually within I was dating somebody, and I

423
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: would and always stay at my plate and I would

424
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: come back and it would be on my phone like

425
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: a footprint. It was just no I had to get

426
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: a lot of their so I was dealing with that.

427
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: I had a roommate situation like that once. I'm still

428
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: cool with the girl, but it was let's just say

429
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: a learning lesson.

430
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: That's my bathrooms.

431
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: Even in my house. When I bought my house, each

432
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: bedroom has its own on suite and then it has

433
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: a guest bathroom. And I mainly did that because of

434
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: my experience.

435
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: Is that crazy, No, it's not. I was like, everybody's

436
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: gonna have their own on suite, so if you little nasty,

437
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: little nasty, nasty little.

438
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 3: To see it. I also set up camera because I

439
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: was not always in hilarious my room. I had cameras

440
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: in my.

441
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 2: Room and I be hilarious coming in my room. What

442
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: were they your friends?

443
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: No, we like have mutual friends.

444
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: That's weird because I always thought that if you're not

445
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: friends with your roommates, they respect. Because I had all

446
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: my roommates for the most part, exce after the one

447
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: we weren't friends. So it was like you just knew

448
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: that part of the house was a no flies on.

449
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: And I heard that works because you don't know the person.

450
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: They'd be in my room, and I saw right on

451
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: four k in the camera and I just was like

452
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: And it was to the point where it was just like, who.

453
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: Are they going in your room for? They were just looking.

454
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 3: STUPIDO being ozy.

455
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's weird. But yeah, so that friendship

456
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: is over.

457
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: It wasn't a friendship, it was roommates, but with my

458
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: safety and my personal things became an issue and I'm like, Okay,

459
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 3: I don't want to leave this here. I don't want

460
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: to leave this here, so at my boyfriend house, but

461
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: it was just like, why am I not leaving stuff

462
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 3: in my space? During that time, I started blowing up

463
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: on social media. I start putting videos out and then

464
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: my videos started going viral and getting attention and me

465
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: going live streaming and stuff. And then from there I

466
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: was able to get more brand deal more money, and

467
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: then once I got enough, I got it out of

468
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: there real quick.

469
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: And at this point, you're learning how to manage your money,

470
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: because I would imagine a check for a post can

471
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: make the ability to spend money go by a lot faster, right,

472
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: because you're getting a check and you're like, I'll just

473
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: do it.

474
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: I would say, I'm just now certain really learning how.

475
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: To manage money.

476
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, because, like you said, when you are getting fifteen

477
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: K for a poll.

478
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,320

479
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520

00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: this up again and I'll run it back the post.

481
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,040

482
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: you start.

483
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: Girl math, But but you also had the situations where

484
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: people with brands would bounce on you. So how do

485
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: you plan to spend your money when there's a chance.

486
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,720

487
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: spend money that ain't in my count yet. Got it?

488
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: Because sometimes it'll be like, Okay, I can work, I

489
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: can do this with this, because I would think I

490
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: can do this with this amount because I know about

491
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: a thirty if this is gonna hit, And then the

492
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: thirtieth coming it don't hit, and you're like, yeah, you

493
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: can do so, I don't spend moneyny in my account yet.

494
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then you live on a stricter budget. Are

515
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: When I first moved to La it was one of

516
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,399

520
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: This was me in my younger days.

521
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: But it would always be spent on money and I'd

522
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: be like, yo, you can't pay the phone bill. She

523
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,760

Speaker 3: Mine definitely was hair too, okay, like I used to

525
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600

00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: was wearing a synthetic beause I was having me a

527
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: synthetic wig, and it was like they went for about

528
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: I would say, like fifty dollars ethetic here the last

529
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: day lost. I had a new wig every week.

530
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: You aren't trying to maintain them or nothing to try

531
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,000

532
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: You can try your best, but.

533
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: That was like my beans are touching my bun. Okay,

534
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,720

535
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,800

00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: I could see you're gonna have a little stack for me.

540
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: I am here, I'll put it. Okay.

541
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: So you're thriving in La, though, say how long did

542
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: it take for you to get the brands to be

543
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: more consistent where it's like your only source of income.

544
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: This looks great, thank you, I will say, for to

545
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: be my only source of income, it probably took me about.

546
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: Like when I first moved to or you're like just

547
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: doing brand deals and no side, no like real jobs.

548
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: I would say it probably took me about two years. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

549
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: probably two years once I started doing content creating.

550
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: And you're at any point are you reaching out to

551
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: brands too?

552
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I used to. I used to sit and

553
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: I used to email brands like like a crackhead. I

554
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: used to just sit there and just did you create

555
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: your own decks and stuff? I created my own Okay,

556
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,760

558
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: getting checks written directly to you or are you incorporating

559
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: or Starting off, it was directly too, but as I've

560
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: been doing it and learn knowledge of it, and then

561
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: this when I got a team and then I got

562
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: my business and stuff like that. But starting off, it

563
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: was just like, hey, are you going to say they

564
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 3: do PayPal like that?

565
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: And so you're learning how to deal with the tax

566
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: situation write off and all that stuff. But I also

567
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: have I have a lawyer and I have a team

568
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: now that helps them with because I just feel like, yeah,

569
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm a person that, like even now,

570
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: I still micromanage.

571
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: I'm just that person like I'm OCD like that I

572
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: have to know every step of the way, but I

573
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: also do know that I don't know everything. Yeah, so

574
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: that I do need a professional that knows and stuff. Yeah,

575
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: not stone checking what you're doing. How did it go? Yeah? Cool?

576
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: That's good because it teaches you. I think that when

577
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: you're an entrepreneur, you should know. I don't think you

578
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: should be the best at every job, but you should

579
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: have an idea of what everybody on your team does.

580
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 3: Like even with my show, Like, I know I don't

581
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: shoot the show guys, but I know how to turn

582
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 3: on the cameras and folks.

583
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: You know, I like lot, even with the editor software,

584
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: Like I'll go in and I'll look at the editor

585
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: software and my editing episodes. Absolutely not my editing clips

586
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: to know, but I at least try to play around

587
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: with us. Okay, this is why it even just helps

588
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: me better understand why I'm paying what I'm paying, because

589
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: sometimes you could be like I'm paying you too much.

590
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: Like exactly you're like, hold on, I can do this,

00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 2: Okay, we got a pants here. If we have so

629
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: much right on this is this bun so bunny?

630
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: Right, I'll just rip mine off. Here we go. I'm gone,

631
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 3: I'm blood.

632
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: Now do you ever fry the buns?

633
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: I never did that before, I don't think, but that

634
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: might be something to add.

635
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, guys, the reason why I'm unhealthy

636
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: and sometimes I get up to a lot of weight

637
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: is because I use a lot of butter. But if

638
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: you were to open these buns and butter the pan, girl,

639
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's good.

640
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: It's good.

641
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't know about what a hot dog, but I

642
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: would still try because I think it all bread should

643
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: be buttered in a pan.

644
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: But it adds that like extra saltiness to it. My

645
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: daughter will be like, Mom, go in the kitchen to

646
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: make me some salty bread and salted butter and bread.

647
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: I'm done. Had anybody come on cook the meal that

648
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: you did not like? Did you say I'm like this?

649
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: I was trying to. I was trying to see if

650
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: she really liked it, y'all.

651
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: I read it one person, the worst ramen dish in

652
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: the history of ramen.

653
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: They made noodles.

654
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: It was like ramen, but right the pack.

655
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: It was like the pack of ramen.

656
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: But he added onion, way too much onion, and he

657
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: overcooked the noodles. But you could just like littlely scoop

658
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: it and swallow all that. Bro No one should ever

659
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: allow you to make ramen. He was like, Oh, it's

660
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: not that bad. I was like, it's the worst ramen

661
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: I've ever had.

662
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: And most that I woul put in like we call

663
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: it noodles, okay, I would put hot sauce and it

664
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: my niece. She knew how to make her. She knows

665
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: how to salce hers up there. But I like, I

666
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: would just maybe hot sauce. If I were to add,

667
00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: you may be the first butter.

668
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: I think bone thugs and harmony added hot they also

669
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: do the big bean?

670
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: Who did the big beans?

671
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: Honestly, we had country Wayne, we had a lot. We

672
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: had baked beans at least four times.

673
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: Entrepreneurs do it a lot. A couple of entrepreneurs who

674
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: else bake beans has been on at least four times.

675
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: I can't remember them all, but I do remember Wayne's

676
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: because he was particular that his baked beans had to

677
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: be vegan. And just so you know, I never found

678
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: a can of baked beans that said vegan on his

679
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: chairs today.

680
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: Did he eat the beans? He was mad?

681
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: The second time he said he wouldn't eat it, but

682
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: the first time he did, but he swore it was

683
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: a vegan can of baked beans. And I asked everyone,

684
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

685
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: There's vegetarian baked beans, but there's no vegan bacons.

686
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he missed that one.

687
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: You know, you never know. They sta a label on things.

688
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: Like people always say, like the food that's just organic.

689
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, it has one organic product and they're

690
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: labeling it organic and everything else.

691
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: Even the grocery store meet.

692
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: I tell people like, if you want really fresh meat,

693
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: go to a butcher because the grocery store meat has

694
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: pink sign in it. You know, it has a lot

695
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: of filler in it.

696
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're learning here on it eating.

697
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: While broke broke. Okay, so how do you go from

698
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: creator to actress model producer? Guess model is in the creator,

699
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: but actress producer.

700
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: So during the pandemic, I started taking videos on TikTok

701
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: and I was gaining one hundred thousand followers a month.

702
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: And from there I met someone that worked at Instagram

703
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 3: and they were like, they love my TikTok. So they

704
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: were like, you need posting my Instagram and I was like,

705
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like my Instagram feed has to look

706
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: a certain way. And that's why I was doing mostly

707
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: pictures of Malin on air. And then oh bean Cash,

708
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: oh excuse me. I told her. I was like, okay,

709
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: like next time you'll see me. Next time you see me,

710
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a video posted. And I did my

711
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: face car video, which is what I'm known for a

712
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: lot on social media. Facecard never declines. So I posted

713
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: that video on TikTok. It got twenty million views, and

714
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: I still hadn't posted on Instagram. And one day I

715
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: was just like, you know what, I'm just gonna do it.

716
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: So I posted it up on Instagram. The girl it

717
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: didn't even hit ten kbus. I was like, this is terrible.

718
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: I'm so embarrassed because on TikTok I'm at like twenty

719
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: million on Instagram.

720
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: This wow.

721
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: And I was just like, I'm taking a video down.

722
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: I just felt so just yucky about myself.

723
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: You felt yucky about yourself because of the numbers, because

724
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: you had already acquired this certain standard for yourself.

725
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: Because because of the numbers, I felt like embarrassed thinking

726
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: that the whole world's looking at me. So don't remember

727
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: rout you once I said in that, And I didn't

728
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: like how it was consuming me. I was like, I'm

729
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: not taking a video down, like I was like, and

730
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: I was gathering myself. I'm like, no argue with myself.

731
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm not taking it down. I'm not gonna let this

732
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: video define me. Like, how do I feel like less

733
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: of a createater went on this other platform it's twenty million? Yeah,

734
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: So I it's like you're mentally just messing.

735
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: Now, isn't this When TikTok already was just starting to

736
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: do video or Instagram was just starting.

737
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: To do video or my tripping.

738
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure because I wasn't on the video. I

739
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: wasn't worried about videos. I was just picturing. But I

740
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: think it had already had videos off there because this

741
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 3: was probably like my first video on Instagram was probably

742
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: about maybe two years ago. Like I'm very like, I

743
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: do a lot of work, so it feels like I've

744
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 3: been doing it for so long, but I really am

745
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: like new. I just glew up really fast, so I

746
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: left the video up. I said, no, I'm leaving it up.

747
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna make this. Let me like, let me

748
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: feel less of a person a creator that I'm leaving

749
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 3: it up. By like day three, it went pure. It

750
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: went from here all the way down there to Skyrocket.

751
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: Didn't pass TikTok and everything.

752
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have that particular video. I'm not sure. I

753
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: have to look at the views on that particular one

754
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: if it passed TikTok. But that trend that I was doing,

755
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 3: I have multiple videos now on Instagram that has passed

756
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: the views on TikTok. But it's just like that one

757
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 3: moment where I was doubting myself and I was going

758
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: to delete the video and had I done that, oh

759
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 3: my gosh, I would not have accomplished all the things

760
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: that I've accomplished because that one video changed everything for one.

761
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: I trend crazy, My followers grew. Every video that I

762
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: was posting after that was going bra I was getting

763
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: noticed on people, more creators, I want to collab with me.

764
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: I was getting I used that traffic, and I started

765
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 3: putting my comedy videos out from that, I have people

766
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 3: notice me for acting, and then I was getting booked

767
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: on different stuff and then brand deals for my face card.

768
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 3: And had I not had somebody, and this is why

769
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: every time I see her, I just tell her how

770
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: much I love I appreciate her because she didn't have

771
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: to be like on me host that video. Actually it

772
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: was two people at Instagram didn't have to be on

773
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 3: me post that video, posted video. But the fact that

774
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 3: they saw what I was doing on TikTok, believed in me.

775
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: It changed everything for me. And that's why it's great

776
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: to have people around you that pour into you and

777
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: when you doubt yourself, that can see the things that

778
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: you can't see. Yeah, because had they not done had

779
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 3: they not done that I wanted to post it, I

780
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: would not have posted Yeah, I literally if I didn't

781
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: make that promise and say I'm gonna do it because

782
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 3: I'm personally I'm a woman of my word. And if

783
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 3: I say I'm gonna do something and.

784
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: It was from someone Instagram director, yeah, yeah, from direct.

785
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, it just changed. It changed everything for me.

786
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 3: And in that moment, I was like, I try to

787
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 3: be smart about it. I'm like, Okay, I have all

788
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 3: this traffic coming, but I excuse it's gonna happen. I

789
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 3: don't want to be I don't I'm like, I don't

790
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 3: want to just be known as the face card girl.

791
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: I also have other things that I like. I'm good

792
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: at acting. I'm very comedic. So when that traffic was

793
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 3: coming to my page, I was posting different stuff. Bile

794
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: the eyes is there. So I was able to build

795
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 3: a platform where people come to watch me for multiple things. Yeah,

796
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: and not just one. Because I feel like when I

797
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: started on TikTok, I niche down a bit and it

798
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: was a it was hard for me to pull myself

799
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 3: up out of that one niche. Because TikTok first started,

800
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 3: or just social media in general, years ago, it was pickanniche,

801
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 3: stay at niche, staying at niche. Now it's the complete opposite.

802
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: Now everybody's doing everything. They're like multifaceted exactly. It took

803
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 3: a while for me to pull myself up out of

804
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: that with TikTok. So when the traffics are coming around

805
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: on Instagram, I was sweart enough to be like, eh,

806
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: like I need to versify itself. Do face card then comedy,

807
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: then two face card comedy or comedy comedy face card

808
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: like picture. I wanted to make sure that like when

809
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: people were coming, they knew right away what they want

810
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 3: to get and they get stuck in his face card world.

811
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: And then when I dropped a comedy video, it was

812
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: like girl, what is this? Yeah, yeah, okay.

813
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: So then you're starting to do acting, You're just starting

814
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: to get into acting. Talk about how that morphosis happened.

815
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: So I will say with acting, I've done reality TV

816
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: and acting, so two different things. But with acting, it

817
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 3: came along with one of my friends is also from Philly.

818
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: His name is Jamar. We've known each other for a

819
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: long time and I've always been I've always will hit

820
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 3: him up because he shoots movies. He's a director of producer,

821
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 3: and I always him, Hey, I want to act your thing.

822
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: I want to add when I got something for you

823
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 3: and let you know, Hey, I want to act your

824
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: name when I got something from let you know. And

825
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: then one day he called me up and I was

826
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 3: like hello, and he was like, remember I sold you

827
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: when I got something for you. I was like, yeah,

828
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: I got something four year old like ah. So he

829
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: brought me on to my project that's named Maya's House

830
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: that's on Prime and to Be and it's trending right

831
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: now that I also executive produced as well. He brought

832
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: me onto that project with him, and I'm grateful for

833
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: that because one it's with somebody that's from Philly, with

834
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: somebody who I've known before I blew up on social media.

835
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: And also it was just a learning experience. I felt

836
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: like it was like a advanced producer actors workshop where

837
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: I learned like the difference between creating content actually being

838
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: on set and film. Yeah, it was a great experience

839
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: with that. And then outside of that with reality TV.

840
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 3: My reality TV came about because of social media. So

841
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: from social media and me being viral, casting directors will

842
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 3: see my page and they'll DM me and they will

843
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 3: ask me to audition for different shows and yeah, wow,

844
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 3: And like I said, started with that face card video.

845
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: It started with the face card video. But it seems

846
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: like there was a lot of determination in there.

847
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

848
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: Oh, because there's a.

849
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: Lot of consistency, there's a lot of follow up on

850
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: your part, so never given. I think it was like

851
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: the creator match, but like you had some serious entrepreneur

852
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: and energy. You follow up with your acquaintance at the

853
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: time and saying, Okay, there's an opportunity, don't forget I'm here,

854
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm available.

855
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: Now.

856
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: How did the executive producer credit come along with that?

857
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: He asked me, but one thing that could produce and

858
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: I said yes. So I also was learning the business

859
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: side of that as well, which is completely different than

860
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 3: the creator and I had to learn that too. It

861
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 3: was like, okay, certain things like I had to know

862
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 3: that we'll make me be like, oh, well, I had

863
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 3: to know it. And because I am a producer, so

864
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: I had to know, Okay, we've reached out to this

865
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: person and maybe this person or this company didn't respond,

866
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: and then you feel that way. I was the actress,

867
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have to know that rejection.

868
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: But also now I want to be I would tell

869
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: you you got to handle the business side, so he

870
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: must have seen also.

871
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: That attribute of your entrepreneurship.

872
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got to walk aside him with that.

873
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty nice.

874
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: That's pretty nice because to add ep to your credit

875
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: is like a big deal in the industry.

876
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: So where do you want to go from here?

877
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: Because of that, now, it inspired me to create my

878
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 3: own like my own stuff as well. So I'm in

879
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: the works of creating a show. I can't talk too

880
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 3: much about it, but I'm in the works of creating

881
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 3: another show, and we're also working on part two of

882
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 3: Maya's House. Yeah, I'm just trying to be I'm never

883
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 3: going to leave social media because that's my bread and butter,

884
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 3: my tunnel, yeah, and my foundation, my tunnel to everything.

885
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: So I'm never going to stop ever being a content creator.

886
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: But my dreams outside of that is to be a

887
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 3: list actress, breaking alongside Carrie Washington, Gabrielle Union, Denzel and

888
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: then also producing my own stuff in which I'm already doing.

889
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, this big deal. So it's a long run.

890
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Now, how long has your career been, Like if you

891
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: would say in total from La, just from LA, I.

892
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: Will say taking it serious, I will say four years.

893
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: So all this has happened and that's why. And it's

894
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 3: crazy because when I moved out here, there are people that,

895
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 3: like in different dynamics. Like when I started off with

896
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 3: posting pictures, there were people who were models. It's like,

897
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: gow she's doing that. I want to be like that.

898
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 3: I want to do that when we're with that brand,

899
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: and I embodied it. I was surround myself with those

900
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 3: people and then I turned around I was doing the

901
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 3: same thing as them. Wow. And then I applied that

902
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 3: same thing into content creating. And then now it's like

903
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 3: people that I looked up to will see me be like, yeah,

904
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of you. You inspired me so much.

905
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 3: And I'm like, huh, but you don't even know you

906
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: inspire me, Like what, that's a blessing. So yeah, it's cool.

907
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: It's like it's it's like I know what's happening, but

908
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: at the same time, it's like I haven't really fully

909
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: taken it in. And that's one thing I do need

910
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: to work on is that I've constantly like this, yeah,

911
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: so I don't really get to sit. Even when my

912
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: billboard we were out at complex kind of my billboard

913
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: went up and they were like congratulations, and I was like,

914
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 3: what you know? I know, because I'm always like, you're

915
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 3: onto the next thing, right, But I need to sit

916
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 3: in those moments and appreciate that because these are things

917
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: that I've like literally cried on my knees, like for

918
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: God to give me the strength, or like when I

919
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: felt like I wasn't good enough when I got the nose,

920
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: because I've gotten plenty, plenty of nose. I got nose

921
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 3: from people that I work with now and you have

922
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 3: you're ildy. But also knowing not to be bitter because

923
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 3: I know it does not mean you're not good. It

924
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 3: just means just in that moment, it's not for you,

925
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: maybe for somebody else, Maybe maybe that role was for

926
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 3: You'll go into audition and you'll think like I killed

927
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: that audition, and then somebody got over you. But it's

928
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 3: because the eyes or their hair remind them of their niece.

929
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 3: It literally can be down to that thing. It doesn't

930
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: even have to be or that person is somebody who's

931
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 3: a part of a friend group and relationships and stuff.

932
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: So did it take you a long time to view

933
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 2: rejection like that?

934
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: Yes, it did, because I used to take a like,

935
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 3: oh my goodness, I suck, but I from the hard

936
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: work that I put in, I know that I don't suck.

937
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know yourself made Yeah exactly.

938
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I'm human. So it's still hurts. You'll

939
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 3: feel it, But then I have to sweep my mind

940
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: and be like, this ain't for you. You're gonna look

941
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: back and something else is going to happen. You'll be like, God,

942
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 3: is that I can get that. That's why. So we

943
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 3: just got to take those moments and learn from it.

944
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting too, because the industry has definitely

945
00:42:55,239 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: shifted to more of a social media slash industry. You

946
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: have all these mainstream actors, actresses, you'll see them buddy

947
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: up with content creators. One of the guys I watches,

948
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: I think his name is something Stallion. He like does

949
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: the camera and the phone and CALLI Berry, Michael B.

950
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: Jordan's Why am I messing up? I don't remember his name.

951
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: I want him on the show too, But Jordan.

952
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: Jordan?

953
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: But could I want him on the show so bad?

954
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: Yes? Remember that John got out the part of me

955
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: thinking remember that?

956
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: But no, But the truth is, you start to see

957
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: this so I feel like the fact that you mastered

958
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: the harder one, in my opinion, The harder one is

959
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: social media because to get past that algorithm, to get

960
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: past kind of learning what works and what doesn't.

961
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 3: I still have my days though. I still had my

962
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 3: days where I put up a video and I was like, oh,

963
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 3: I thought this was gold and it ain't doing nothing.

964
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 3: And one of my friends, King Batch, I remember one

965
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 3: time I had message him and I'm like, I want

966
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 3: to I was like, I want to post my face

967
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 3: card videos to my own songs I did in my

968
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 3: own face card song. I was like, I want to

969
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 3: post my face card video to my own song because

970
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 3: before I was using a different song. And I was like,

971
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: but I don't know, like if people I want to

972
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: see it again. And he just was like, girl, just

973
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: post your stuff. An't nobody paying that much attention like this.

974
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: He's like, just post it and if it don't do well,

975
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: archive it, delete it whatever. It's not the end of

976
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 3: the world, I really think, especially when you get numbers.

977
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see you're definitely paying attention to it. I

978
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: could see you. You get your highs and your lowers,

979
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: pressures on pressures.

980
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 3: I posted the video today and I was like, if

981
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: it don't hit certain my views, I'm an archive it.

982
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: But then sometimes if.

983
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 2: Even after your three day story, I want to.

984
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 3: Say, sometimes I might really like you could now play

985
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 3: I can tell. But sometimes I really like a video

986
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 3: and I would let it sit and see what to do.

987
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 3: But if it don't, I would say for a video

988
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: like if it if it's under the hint and k like,

989
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: I'm okay with it, might love with the views and

990
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 3: if it's good content as well, because you and still

991
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 3: get brand deals and stuff from videos that aren't viral.

992
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: And that's the thing when brands come, they don't just look. Yes,

993
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 3: analytics do play a part, but also you as a

994
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 3: content creator. And so it might be a good video,

995
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 3: it might just didn't go viral, but the brand I

996
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 3: look at it, it might still like it.

997
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, educate us. Yes what am I?

998
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 3: I did a brand deal for a face card and

999
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: my my video is the concept of the whole pitch

1000
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: deck that they sent out to creators and the video

1001
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: that they use is the one with the least amount

1002
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 3: of use. I was like, oh, they chose to use

1003
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 3: this one as the My mom would be like whatever

1004
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 3: one got the most view. Yeah, but no, they chose

1005
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 3: to use the one that had the least amount of

1006
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: views as the blueprint to send out to the creators

1007
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: to have them.

1008
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 2: That's interesting what the deal is.

1009
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's why now I'm not really too If

1010
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 3: I really love the video, like it's a great video.

1011
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be like, no, we gotta have a

1012
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: three day rule. Yeah, three days.

1013
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. But like I said, if it don't, if it's

1014
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 3: like at three thousand and it's, no, it's getting archived.

1015
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: But I do like that the content creators and seem

1016
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: to support each other, like Badge and Storm and all

1017
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: that whole crew. I feel like you guys really kind

1018
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: of like the artistry and the commoditory, and I think

1019
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: that really helps you guys collectively slash individually. I love

1020
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: that part about content creators.

1021
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 3: I learned a lot from Batch when I when I

1022
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 3: started doing content with him. I came in doing content

1023
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 3: where there's videos where there's no talking, Like you can

1024
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 3: get the picture by my movement and the music that

1025
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 3: I match up. You can fully get the picture. But

1026
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: he does a lot of content where he's talking. Oh

1027
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 3: it's to be so nervous pulled up to shoot content

1028
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 3: with him because I was like, he's the top content creator.

1029
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I have to be perfect when I'm

1030
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 3: going here, Like I don't want them looking at me,

1031
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 3: like I don't want them being like she's flowing us down,

1032
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 3: Like I'm a perfectionist, So like I have to be perfect,

1033
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 3: per perfect. And then just filming with him, I just

1034
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: learned one you don't have to be perfect. Two the

1035
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 3: way to edit certain things like how long something should

1036
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 3: be in the clip? How long? How long?

1037
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because they but they mastered that six second.

1038
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: They mastered that Vine like they're they're the bad storm

1039
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: Leanne Hannah's whole crew. You gotta remember that whole crew

1040
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: was the Vine, the originals, and those guys were nailing

1041
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: full comedic.

1042
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: You get the full edits and and six seconds.

1043
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: And that's the difference I think between when I talk

1044
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: to Wayne is like Wayne shoots a.

1045
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: Skit like one take. He don't do no edits. You

1046
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 2: do you take in your post. Yeah, but that crew

1047
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 2: I know the I know some of them.

1048
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: I don't know Batch personally. Shout out to Batch because

1049
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: you haven't been on the show. We didn't invite you though,

1050
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: But though that those guys really mastered the art of editing.

1051
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: And really capturing that comedic element. But I think because

1052
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: they came from the six second Life, I can only imagine.

1053
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: But their shoot schedules, from what I remember back in

1054
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: the day, it was like they would pick a day

1055
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: and they would just bang out like as many ideas

1056
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: as possible.

1057
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 3: That's how I shoot, Oh, for really, I will pick

1058
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: a day, I'll see what friends are free. I will

1059
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: bang out as many videos as I can until I

1060
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 3: feel like I can't think no more.

1061
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, I like that. And are you looking

1062
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: for videos that are more relatable? Because I feel like

1063
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 2: that's where the comedy lies.

1064
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 3: I do stuff that's relatable. I also as far as

1065
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 3: the collaborate, No, when you create content. Oh yeah, oh

1066
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 3: I'm all relatable. I do a lot of stuff that's

1067
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 3: relatable to women, friendship, relationships and stuff like that. So yeah,
