84
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: he used to be my opening act. That's how Steve

86
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: tell me about your stand up com in the career

87
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: because that's nowhere listed in your bio. So I knew

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: it was something. That's why I asked, because you're so funny.

89
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Oh little thank you. I mean, I I look at

90
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: myself as a full rounded artist. So my dog is

91
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: very loud. I have a frenchie and he just came

92
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: as soon as it started, and that was a plan.

93
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I mean being you know, I try

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: to be you know, experimental in my creativity. And so

95
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: two of my girlfriends dared me, dared each other to

96
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: start doing stand up. Um and I've I've been doing

97
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: it for over ten years. I've flowed around with it.

98
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah's something I love to do. I've met Kevin Hart

99
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: that way, Mike Gaps, Tiffany Hattrish and I became friends

100
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: during stand up and you know, just being really thrust

101
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: it into the comedic world. I was I Love that girl.

102
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: You know. That was produced by Um Bentley, Kyle Evans,

103
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: and Martin Lawrence and so one of the requirements to

104
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: play I'm Unique was for me to do stand up.

105
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: So that just made me do that even more. But

106
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, I love acting,

107
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, like that's the main thing. So to go

108
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: on the road and commit to that, it's always something

109
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: that I have to always convince me my team. I

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: gotta give you credit. Now, I was very talented as

111
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: a stand up I could not act somehow when you

112
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: put the paper in front of me. I did a

113
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: couple of films and people said I was good in it,

114
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: but I just think I was just playing a role.

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: It wasn't me. I was. So it's so extreme. But

116
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: but the whole process of being able to capture character

117
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: because you play so many different characters, how is that

118
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: or do you have an acting coach? How do you

119
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: pull that off? Well, I've been trained. I went to

120
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: Baltimore School for the Arts when I was in high

121
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: school and then I graduated from there and went to

122
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: California Institute of the Arts. And that's what brought me

123
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: to California. So of my degree, right, and so with

124
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: that process, So do you do you do? You take

125
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: every role as like, for instance, people say they get

126
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: they get into the moment. You know, a lot of

127
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: your roles are comedic, you know, and like I said,

128
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: I met you when we was doing the very popular

129
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Fall from Grace and there was nothing really funny about

130
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: that and so so that was major swing from you

131
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: being a stand up comedian. How do you balance those

132
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: two differences? Well, you know, being a full rounded artist,

133
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I love about training and really

134
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: honing your craft. And you know, I've I studied Shakespeare

135
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: and absent and check Off along with you know, August Wilson,

136
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: along with Edward Albie. You know, you know, you just

137
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: gotta learn it all rum and learn how to have

138
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: as many you know, things in your toolbox. And then

139
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, of course there's God's gift and the favor,

140
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: and I was very grateful that, you know, I started

141
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: in drama right um, and I was like, you know,

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: guest star on e er recurring guest star. That was

143
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: like one of my first big gigs. I did Grace Anatomy,

144
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: so I had lots of like drama stuff under my belt. Uh.

145
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: And I was just so grateful that Tyler remembered me

146
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: and from Acrimony and think the special for me, which

147
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: was also drama Acrimony, and he was like, I wanna

148
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: break you into the drama because people don't know all

149
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: the things you can do. And I was like, very

150
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: grateful for that opportunity. Right when you look, we can

151
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: go back a little bit the Fall from Grace, Like

152
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: I said, I think it's still one of the you know,

153
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of Tyler Perry. One of the best

154
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry films. You know, the ending I never saw coming.

155
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I was like wow, And I just highly recommended so

156
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: many people. I really went on social media crazy about

157
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: the movie, just telling everybody to watch it now in

158
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: a movie because the reason I really respected that movie

159
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: so much because it was on Netflix. It still is

160
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: on Netflix, by the way, and it opened in a

161
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety countries and so, which is always frustrated

162
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: me by black movies or black film, especially when they're

163
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: run by the studios. When they when they premiere them,

164
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: they premiere them domestically, and so as a black artist,

165
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: you really never get that international growth, that international appeal,

166
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: and and that's what all we want to do. We

167
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: just want to share our talents with the world. When

168
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: that movie, right, when that movie opened at that wide?

169
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Did that did that did that have a major impact

170
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: of a major influence on your brand on your social media?

171
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the influence of that movie on

172
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: your career as well as being an opening worldwide? Well,

173
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: anything attached to the amazing Tyler Perry is a gift

174
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to you know, the culture, to mainstream, to everything. I

175
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: was given an opportunity to go on a real press

176
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: tour and promote a movie that I was, you know,

177
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: passionate about and so honored to be a part of.

213
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: this amazing woman forward TV show. Uh. You know, I

214
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760

Speaker 1: and see, you know, see myself and ask aspire to

216
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: be like those women, to live sexy and independently and

217
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: fearlessly in New York and never really seeing a black

218
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: woman do that and not apologize for being a strong woman.

220
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: all those things. It was very aspirational. So that's what

221
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: gravitated me towards the characters that you know, even though

222
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: Renee Ross is married and going through her divorce, she's

Speaker 1: people don't get it. You know, she's successful. Uh, she

226
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: stands up for herself. Um, she's kind of she's a

227
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: loose cannon. She's a lot like myself. You know, she's

228
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: a tourist. You know. So I've never read something off

273
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: to money making Conversations as I continue my conversation with

274
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: the Star of Life Times and Merry Little Christmas Baby, Rischia. Well,

275
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, the interesting thing about it is that I've

276
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: been fortunate to see I started writing sitcoms in ninety

277
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: two on ABC and and just seeing characters they were

278
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: just written for comedy, but just wasn't written from a

279
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: realistic standpoint. And and fortunately I've survived that whole reality

280
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: with black women were just throwing bottles each other and

281
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: cursing and fighting. That was just the image of that.

282
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: And then the Ray came out with Insecure, which allowed

283
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: us for the first time to see two black females

284
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: stories being told and then I see run the World.

285
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: It must be good as a black actress to be

286
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: able to have content now that feels real, that feels relevant,

287
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: but also feels like that like that. I mean, there

288
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: was Girlfriends, there were other shows that paved the way

289
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: for us to do what we're doing living single like

290
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, this is just a single camera way of

291
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: showing life being you know, lived, and that we're so

292
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: relatable other cultures, like we're just trying to get through life,

293
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, and deal with all of the things that

294
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: come with it. You know, we're living successfully in Harlem,

295
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: you know. And what does that mean? And how does

296
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: that look? What looks now is what's happening in a

297
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,760

00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: There's just certain moments of cuteness that just makes me smile.

309
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: You know, the you know, the whole relationship that you

310
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: have and your son, and the young man who plays

311
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: your son. I believe in him so much that he

312
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: really is your son. And so when you have an

313
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: unsemble cast, it's all about chemistry. So talk about that chemistry.

314
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: And you know who the guy who played your father

315
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: who could actually play basketball? I mean you could actually

316
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: hoo could? I would like this guy can play real Chris.

317
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: I know he's in basketball, like his daughter's basketball. Like

318
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: he can like he goes to tournaments and all kinds

319
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: of for real, he could hoop. I was like, okay,

320
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: I lost a couple of that. That is what they do. Okay,

321
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 1: pretty bad could actually loot and then uh but but

322
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: when you have an ensemble that makes me smile and

323
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: just seeing you know, just black people looking good on

324
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: TV and looking successful and having great storylines please right right,

325
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: And that's all I was just saying about I want

326
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: more of that. You know what, when I talk about

327
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: the researchers are insecure and I see or run the world,

328
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking, I always want more. I want I want

329
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: shot to rhyme just the owner the world. I won't

330
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: even doing the just to run the world because I

331
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: have six sisters, you know, and I grew up in

332
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: a family of strong black women, and when I all

333
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: my life, half my life, I saw their stories not

334
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: being told correctly. When I see stories that you know

335
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: that that are being put out there by black women,

336
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: directed by black women, produced by black women, written by

337
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: black women, that's powerful. Not just saying that that that

338
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: it has to be done that way, but at least

339
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: give it a shot. And so I see this series

340
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: being put out there and you're part of it. Talk

341
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: about the chemistry and what makes this series so special,

342
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: which right now is very little baby, what would be

343
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: premier in this month which is no where absolutely Well, First,

344
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: before I talk about I have to talk about the

345
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: amazing Kelly Rowland. A lot of people don't know how

346
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: much she is influenced in this project. She's the producer,

347
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, she's starring in it, She's doing everything she's

348
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: wearing all the hats, she's in costume and she's everywhere.

349
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: Um and so much of that makes the chemistry of

350
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: where we were, where we started, and how we come

351
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: to set to make sure and we do this in Vancouver, Canada,

352
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: um or there's not a lot of black people. Wait

353
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Tonto to get the black people when you send them

354
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: to Vancouver if need be, but they have a few

355
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: and we've you know, and it's been great. We've created

356
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: our own family because this is our third installment and uh,

357
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: Kelly has really set the bar of how we how

358
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 1: we are with each other. She created that family, you know,

359
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: that family dynamic from day one. It was great chemistry.

360
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: The casting that she did was all just love, you know,

361
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: and she put so much of our heart in it,

362
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 1: which makes us put so much of our heart in it.

363
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: You know. Um, we have Debbie Morrigan, you know, we

364
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: have you know, these incredible people that have lend their

365
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: talent and gifts to this film. And you know, she's

366
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: made sure that there's people of color, mainly people of

367
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: color behind the scenes, always made sure that there has

368
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: been a female director you know, um, women of color

369
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: who are producing you know, like it's very important to

370
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: Kelly if she's going to be a part of it,

371
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: that it it changes people's opinion about how black productions

372
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: are run. Well. I think that when you know, being

373
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: a guy who's seen it and been knowing Kelly from

374
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: Big Cally like years old. When I brought on stage

375
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: is early years, I was thinking one of the first

376
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: people who brought on stage as along with Beyonce and

377
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: UH introduced him to the world as performing acts. And

378
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: I remember several years ago I pitched her along with

379
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: NBC sitcom starring her, so I know her talents, fair work.

380
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: I have always been just watching her, I go, I've

381
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: always so much more. You know that she's going to

382
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: bring to the table because the nuances of acting just

383
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: so special. And it feels like you guys are really

384
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: sisters in this series. It feels like I feel the

385
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the aints you know, of the relationship issues that you

386
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: have of being a sister, trying to do good for

387
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: a sister, trying to still be your mom to your son,

388
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: as well as trying to engage in another relationship and

389
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: move forward. All those are natural paths that that can

390
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: only be done if you're comfortable with that material one

391
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: and then also feelized that this is something that you

392
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: want to put out there with the general public, tell

393
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: everybody about your character. Let's break that down a little

394
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: bit right quick. Okay, Well, Kira a Little is um

395
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: the younger sister, and she takes all fine. By the way,

396
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: all I'm fine, by the way they find they find

397
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: got out to my baby sister. Right, No, she's younger

398
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: than me, but you know, but like all the sisters,

399
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: but you know, we we really love each other. Disaster,

400
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: by the way she supposed she didn't do something she

401
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: was supposed to do for the little that's the thing,

402
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: and all of the merry littles. You see, Kira just

403
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: train right, you know, the last the last one for

404
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: the wedding. She threw up the wedding, she burned the dress.

405
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: You just cannot get it together. She had one role, right,

406
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: get that one done. And this one was hard because

407
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: I identified with her. I was like, yo, she's just

408
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: trying to get this done and everything is against her

409
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: and she had to depend on like everybody just comes

410
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: and saves the day again and she's just like yeah,

411
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, and so I mean care a little is

412
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: like that little sister you love to hate, but you

413
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: can't hate because you can't hate because you're trying so hard.

414
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: You're trying so hard to do right, to do right.

415
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: I wanted her to try a little hard, but really

416
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: try hard hard. But you know that the thing I

417
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: like about you is that you're trying hard as a

418
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: as a ball, trying hard in a relationship that you

419
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: want to last. And then this serious relationship will go further.

420
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: I won't give away any lass and we can't do that,

421
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: you know, because they won't let me any of you

422
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: anymore if I blow it. But the beauty of it

423
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: is that you make me smile, Breacha Webb, you know.

424
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: And I think that is important that I tell you that,

425
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: because I get to see a lot I've been fortunate

426
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: in my life. I got this. I've seen a lot

427
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: of you know, people who matured, and there's always another

428
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: wave of talent that problems. And you own that wave,

429
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: and you're on that next passage and your own excuse me,

430
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: you already on it. You know you're just about to

431
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: ascend it to another opportunity because you can do all

432
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: of you varsover you and that a lot of people

433
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: understand how hard it is for a black person to

434
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: break in the voice over, let it alone, do it,

435
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: and you're doing it successfully. A lot of people don't

436
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: understand when I look at your resume. You know, like

437
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: I said, believe me, the shows I mentioned are only

438
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: part of it. We would get tired if I just

439
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: start going down the list of it. And I only

440
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: say that in a complimentary manner. You will get tired

441
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: because you want to resume like that. But in this series,

442

00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,320

550
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly, and got like a bunch of

551
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: like packaging like I was already prepared, like canisters and

552
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,560

586
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, we we we we we we missed it

587
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: several times on press junk my time wouldn't let me go.

588
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: When I was managing Steve Harvey, I believe you've been

589
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: done set up some interviews when he was when I

590
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: was over that managing him on the CT Harvy Morning Show.

591
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: But all along the process of developing your brand, Uh

592
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: what what? What has pushed you? What is driving you

593
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: to the success you know, it's so funny. It's so

594
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: much of what you said at that at the top

595
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: of the show, the things that you say setting up

596
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: the show resonated for me because one of the biggest

597
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: things that drives me is stepping into my gift. I

598
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: talk about it all the time. Right, It's almost like

599
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: you have a responsibility when you've been given certain skills

600
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: to live up to that potential. A lot of us don't,

601
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: A lot of us coast, a lot of us just

602
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: take it for granted. But I do feel a responsibility,

603
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: whether it's because of you know, watching my mom who

604
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: didn't have much accomplished what she was able to accomplish,

605
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: knowing that I have so much more that has been

606
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: given to me that I've been blessed with. It's a

607
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: sense of I need to operate and deliver at my

608
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: fullest potential at all times. So I never know what

609
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: that's gonna mean, how that's gonna translate, what that's going

610
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: to result in, but I know that whatever it is,

611
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: I better show up and show out. Well you do,

612
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: and that's that's the beauty of of you know. And

613
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: like I said, I've had an interesting career a sitcom writer,

614
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, a producer, executive. Been fortunate with me some

615
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: Emmies and Image Awards, all these things, you know, I

616
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: know what important to me, and sometimes I trivialize them

617
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: because you know, you're on the grind all the time.

618
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. You just want to

619
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: get that next, especially when you're in African American. You know,

620
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: you know that there's no guarantees, you know, because their relationship.

621
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: You gotta keep moving, keep it moving. But you know

622
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: what I've been thinking about a lot, Risaan lately, just

623
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: the need to sit still for a minute and to

624
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: appreciate who you are right now in the moment. And

625
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: it's not about I mean complacent. It's about taking stock

626
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: and showing yourself appreciation right for what you published, and

627
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: then using that to propel you to the next stage.

628
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times, like you said, we'll go, go, go, go, go,

629
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: that we don't stop to really recognize where we've come from,

630
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: where we are in the moment, and how we can

631
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: take all of that experience knowledge, know how you know,

632
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: and and use it as we move forward. You know,

633
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: I just I love hearing that from your mona because

634
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: of the fact that you know I bought a building

635
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and so and for the first time, you know,

636
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: I've been on I've been on you know, leaching in

637
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: various spaces. I've been on production lots and all that

638
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: Hollywood have in New York. So it's always you know,

639
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: at the end of that production deal, I had to

640
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: pick up my my trophies or my paintings and think

641
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: about the wall. And so this was the first time

642
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: I olaus to put stuff I knew wasn't gonna leave.

643
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: And I really that's what That's what you're talking about,

644
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, stopping and seeing and I and I and

645
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: I and my wife said, you love going off I

646
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: look because I really get to see my life being

647
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: played out and show and your life plays out on

648
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: a daily basis on TV, your rewards. And that's really

649
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: interesting because I know that when I have people tell

650
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: me about Rashan because I've I wrote, you know, such

651
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: a Sister, the Boo Nigue to Jamie Fox and all this,

652
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: and people go, I see those shows on Netflix all

653
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: the time. That makes me feel good. How do you

654
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: feel when people talk about your work to you or

655
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: you just hear people or the reactions on your the

656
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: ratings and the social media reaction. How does that make

657
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: you feel, Mona. You know, it's funny because it goes

658
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: back to that stopping to take stock and to show

659
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: self appreciation. But I'd like to think that my accomplishments

660
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: are reflected in the work that I do. Right, Like yesterday,

661
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: the amazing honor of standing on that stage, you know,

662
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: on Hollywood Boulevard and and being part of Missy's induction

663
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: ceremony as she was given her star on the Hollywood

664
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: Walk of Fame, And in that moment, it just all

665
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: came flooding back that very first time I poked my

666
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: head into the backseat of that limo when I faced

667
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: me her when he's something plus years ago, and she said, oh,

668
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: I don't I don't need a manager. I'm not looking

669
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: for a manager. And to fast forward and think that,

670
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, I've had the ability to impact her life

671
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: in a way that has maybe in some portion, way,

672
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: shape or form, right impacted what she has delivered to

673
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: the world and the people that that has touched. And

674
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: it's the whole idea that mike contribution to her life

675
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: has impacted, you know, millions of people globally that I

676
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: will never lay eyes on, never even see that. For

677
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: me is the gratification, that is the accomplishment that that

678
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: I think about when I think about what my life

679
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: has been. Of course, my children and seeing you know,

680
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: what they are accomplishing now in their lives and what

681
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna be God knows what. But I'd like to

682
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: think that when I see my daughter putting her foot

683
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: down or you know, pushing back on something, or when

684
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: I see my son going hard and making sure that

685
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: he's you know, delivering on his own expectations for himself,

686
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: I see a reflection of me and what I've contributed

687
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: to their lives. So for me, that's the biggest, right,

688
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: the biggest uh accolade, I guess, if I had to

689
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: find the right word, it's seeing how the impact that

690
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: I've had on others and on their lives um has

691
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: come you know, full circle when it's out there now

692
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: for the world's experience. We know the beauty of why

693
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: I mentioned the thing. You know, we started with the

694
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: word talent manager, and so she knows this for a fact.

695
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: A lot of times she was missing you know, Steve Harvey, uh,

696
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: Steven A. Smith and other people. I've been fortunate to

697
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: say they put, you know, trust in my direction and

698
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: so but sometimes you can be limited by what people

699
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: think of you as to manage you or that's her,

700
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: that's her girl, or that's her boy, you know, and

701
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: they don't realize that you can do more. That's why

702
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: it's important for me to say the words executive producer

703
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: when I say Mona Scott y'all. That's why it's important

704
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: for me. You said published Arthur when I say Monuscott Young.

705
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: That's why it's important for me to say CEO and

706
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: found up moaning me Entertainment and Mona Me Productions. That's

707
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: why it's important for me to say, you know, love

708
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: and hip hop because she's more than what you expect

709
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: and what she's been, and she's fought through what I've

710
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: talked about. She's leading with her gifts and showing you

711
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: she's more than what you think and in some ways

712
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: she's seeing some of her all expectations. And that's the

713
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: beauty of being you correct and listen the ability now

714
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: to hopefully right have the impact that I've had listen

715
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: with a completely different audience right this show, it's in Spanguish,

716
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: it's around a Latin superstar who has millions and millions

717
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: of fans and followers and people who adore her globally.

718
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: So here was an opportunity for me to tell her

719
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: story and to do it on a massive platform like

720
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. Those are major accomplishments and strides for not

721
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: only my company, but for me as a producer as well.

722
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: So it's constantly about growth and this show is, you know,

723
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: a one more growth experience in my career. And I

724
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: think people are going to see a completely different kind

725
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: of programming that um, I think they will respond well to.

726
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: There's something joyful about the show, their lives, everything that

727
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: they're sharing about their lives, and it's a story of

728
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: women empowerment and the stories of a struggle of an

729
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: artist making it against all odds, and that's some thing

730
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: I personally can relate to. We'll be right back with

731

Speaker 1: like when they're parched or windy conditions out there. You

737
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: gotta be extra careful with things like burning yard wage.

00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Now, I'm going like, come on, girl,

765
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: Me and you ain't never met, but I was proud

766
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: of you. Said this is smooth right there because of

767
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: the fact that I you you. This is what this

768
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: is important to where I get excited when I see

769
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: new program and it's death beyond the norm. And also

770
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: it's not stereotypical. Here's a young lady. Her name is

771
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: Noddy Natasha. She's from the Dominican Republic. She came over

772
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: here first hitting twenty twelve. Okay, went nowhere, struggling no

773
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: place to stay, then rapid came into life in somebody,

774
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: and that's why in this world, you always gotta have

775
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: somebody who believes in you, even as you don't. Like

776
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: she said, she saw, she saw you know, like I said,

777
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: I saw Steve Harvey before he did death Comedy. Jam. Okay,

778
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: you know she saw Mitchi. Mitchi said, I don't need you,

779
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: but she saw, she saw, it said, hanging out with me.

780
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: I see a little bit more. Now in this you

781
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: get the major global superstar and she's trusting you because

782
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: she wants to cross over. Tell us about that story, mom. Yeah,

783
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: it was interesting because they were so clear about, you know,

784
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: what they represent in the Latin market and wanting the

785
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: world to understand that she has dreams and she wants

786
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: to grow and she wants to be bigger. But it

787
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: wasn't about leaving her audience behind and all of a

788
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 1: sudden wanting to be this you know u s artist.

789
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: It was more about how do I continue to grow

790
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: and bring my music to a bigger audience, bring my

791
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, Latin culture to a bigger audience. Make sure

792
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: that everyone in all parts of the world understand the

793
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: beauty of who I am, what my story is. You know,

794
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: She's very proud about being you know, a first uh

795
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: generation immigrant and everything that she had to go through

796
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: to get to where she was. And it was about

797
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: bringing that story, that Latin immigrant story to a broader

798
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: audience and to bring into the world. And you know,

799
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: for me again always excited about breaking new barriers and

800
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: and thank you so much for acknowledging that. You know,

801
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: this was an opportunity for me, who has you know,

802
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: been doing content firmly in you know, the African American space,

803
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: been in hip hop for a very long time, to

804
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: move into Latin music, to move into a global Latin audience,

805
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: to tell the story of a Latin you know, superstar

806
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: on the rise. But what I love about that is

807
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: full of the elements of that story, the struggle, the love,

808
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: the triumphs, the adversities. Those are universal themes that language.

809
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: You know, there are no barriers to that. And I

810
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: hope that when people watch it, what they take away

811
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: from it is the story, the experiences, that the joy

812
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: of watching someone who is so open and vulnerable just

813
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: succeed at what they've set out to do. Well, you know,

814
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: the thing that this is the thing that I enjoy,

815
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, because we all know there's been a journey

816
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 1: with what reality shows and raality shows me all about

817
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: content drip, and this is a content driven reality show,

818
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: which means that she's taking the elements of their life

819
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: and sharing it, but moving into a creative format where

820
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: is entertaining. So she's not creating contrived moments. That's important

821
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: to know about this. What's what's secondly important to know

822
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: about this is that Naughty and Ralphie don't want to

823
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: lose their Spanish base. They said, look, we want to

824
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: cross over, but we cannot cross over. And the reason

825
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: I said that's important because that's where the spankless Spanglish

826
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: comes in, because if they did the show entirely English,

827
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: that means they would have sold long to their base.

828
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: And so they're talking English and being there they're just

829
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: started right there talk start talking Spanish right in the

830
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: middle of English, and and you know, of a sudden,

831
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: the subtitles are dropped right Underneathan and then all of

832
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: a sudden they started, imagine my life be in the

833
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: midst of that producing that for money, I would be yes,

834
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: Spanish English and right you know, so I had a

835
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: chance to perspect to perfect my Spanish as well. So

836
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: that was about my God and I prother perspective for it.

837
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying to everybody, is that is that

838
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: this is an adventure, and lifestyle is an adventure, and

839
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: uh enjoying another culture, it's also an adventure to let

840
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: you know how other cultures are simulate into America, how

841
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: they still communicate, how they can slide between the two

842
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: cultures from an English and a Spanish perspective, and it

843
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: all feels very natural. Because when I say that, is

844
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: that you know that what what? What? What? Always gets

845
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: to me With Mona shows you know she would get

846
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: people in bed even they'd be talking like that at

847
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: at the dinner table. I've yet to figure out how

848
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: she's crafted that skilled I'm talking about don't defunct bad talking.

849
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: They just talking like little dog running around in bed

850
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. They'd be just talking normal. I'm

851
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Mona, how did you figure out

852
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: that skilled? Where did you get that skilled to get

853
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: people be talking like and at the dinner table. I

854
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: credit my years of being a man manager of my

855
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: ability get talented comfortable. When you got the camera's it

856
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: falls away. But I will say that was one of

857
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: the first sheet scenes we ever shot with them. So

858
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: to their credit, they were just like I said, all

859
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: I need you guys to do is be yourself. Whatever

860
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: you do, allow us to be here with just flying

861
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: the wall, and they you know, we're comfortable immediately. But

862
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just about people trusting and they know that,

863
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: you know we're here to tell your story. Nobody's gonna

864
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: be coming out the consent. You need to stop right

865
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: now and no nobody. I'm gonna use the word do

866
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: what she do? Okay, I've seen reality short. She gets everybody.

867
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: It's like because they're not acting okay, they in bad

868
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not just damn to show what she do.

869
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: They'd be in bad just talking normal, like eating chicken whatever,

870
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, watching click. It's like, you get it. That's

871
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: a skill, and that's a skill that I was calling

872
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: when I called those who shan I call those scenes

873
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: my pillow dog. You have your most intimate discussions, think

874
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: about it, just significant other, let your guard down for

875
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: the day, in your pajamas, and you guys are just

876
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: talking about the day, life, the future. So that's for me,

877
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: that's always a great setting because that's where people have

878
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: their life conversations. Well, you know, because we're not the

879
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: beauty of our conversation. I'm happy with her is that

880
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this series, but I'm not really give

881
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: away little details that I need to not say because

882
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: I want you to watch the series. But again, this series,

883
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: I would be honest with you. I didn't know Noddy

884
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: before this series. I want to know more about her.

885
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: I love her music. Uh. The man she's in love with, Ralphie,

886
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: is a guy that I would sit out and hang

887
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: out where. He's an ordinary looking guy. He met her

888
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: when he was chubby, like he said, now now he's

889
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: killing it. He's killing it now, you know. And and

890
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: upcoming episodes. You know, it's about being treated like an immigrant,

891
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: like she said, working without a green card and trying

892
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: to survive. And this is what this is, like you

893
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: said it earlier, is about an empowerment series. It's about

894
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: watching too a couple share their relationship with the world

895
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,479
Speaker 1: and also seeing how the world reacts to it. Being

896
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: nervous about sharing it, but it's an honest story. I

897
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: want to thank you for doing this, and I want
