00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,479

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: of success. For you, it may be the size of

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: your paycheck. Mine is helping people wake up and inspiring

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: them to accomplish their goals and live their very best life.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: It's time to stop reading other people's success stories and

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: start writing your own. People always talk about their purpose

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: or gifts. If you have a gift, lead with your

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: gift and let your friends, family, or coworkers stop you

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: from planning or living your dreams. My my next guest

11

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,040

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: not say miss Ralf because you can say goddess because

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: you look like a goddess. You look like a diva.

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: You have an amazing career. I recently saw this interview

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: uh it was on YouTube which he was talking about

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: uh Sidney Porty and and and he was moved by that.

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Can you, before we get into the master class, can

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: you give my audience your reaction to his passing and

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: then in the significance of someone like Sydney Portier in

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: his background of relationship to you you know, it's it's

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: so interesting. Well, first of all, you gave me, you

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: took a few years off of my career, which I'm

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: sure is a wonderful thing, except for the fact that

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: it's been close to forty five years. My very first job.

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I was nineteen years old, freshman college and Sydney Quoittier

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: gave me my very first job in a film called

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: The Piece of the Action, which was the last of

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: a trilogy of films that he did. Absolutely and I

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: played a bad young girl, Barbara Hanley. So funny because

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: Barbara Hanley. I've been hearing people's say that's why Barbara

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: Howard is such a great teacher, because she was Barbara Handley.

50
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: So I just love the fact that people are able,

51
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, through all of these generations, are able to

52
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: put it together full circle like that, and that The

53
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: start for me was Mr Pootier, who stayed in touch

54
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: with me for most of my career. The last time

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: I spoke with him, I had just gotten cast in

56
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the series called Instant Mom and timar right, Tim r right, Yeah,

57
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: And he was so wonderful and he told me how

58
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: proud he was of me, and that I didn't let

59
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: him down and it was a great, great conversation. Well,

60
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: you know the interesting thing about your character because you know,

61
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: I've been a sitcom writer and so I've been fortunate

62
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, create lines with Sara Findy Johnson,

63
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: who was uh Sarah. You know, Sarah Fini is one

64
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: of the great Sarah is another one of those people

65
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: who you know, she was one of the creators of Moisha,

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: And from generation to generation people know Sarah from the Quad,

67
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: they know her from you know, so many things, and

68
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: right now she's on Queen Sugar. But there's been so

69
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: many series that Sarah Finni has had a major hand

70
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: in quite literally, well you know, you've You've had Joe

71
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: hands in several levels. You know. We can all go

72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: back to dream Girls, and I remember I was doing

73
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the Steve My First Thing Come with Steve Harvey's and

74
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: me and the boys and all we could do. And

75
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: that was in eighteen eighty four, and all they kept saying,

76
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: we gotta get Shirley raf On because she's the one,

77
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: She's one. We gotta have Hi Mess because he needed

78
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: a love interest our first because I first love interest

79
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: was Wendy Rickart Robinson. And yes, she's good, but we

80
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: gotta get Shirley Rapp. And I remember it was just

81
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: a push in the writer's room and all the executive producers,

82
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: all ABC Networks. She's the one and you've always had that.

83
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: She's the one tone from the industry, and it comes

84
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: from not only relationships, but doing the job and being

85
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: a professional. And a lot of people misstep that because

86
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: of the fact that you can only I think, have

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: a long career when people have worked with you and

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: want to work with you again. Talk about longevity and relationships.

89
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: I think you just put your your voice on it.

90
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Who knows you, who likes you, who wants to work

91
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: with you, who wants to work with you again. I

92
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: just came back from Philadelphia. You know, I commute my husband,

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Senator Hughes of Pennsylvania. He and I, well, I do

94
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: the commuting. But we were laughing because a friend of

95
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: mine has a new series, Sean McBride. Shan and I

96
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: did a movie together called Distinguished Gentleman with Yeah, and

97
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: then Shan and I have you know, on and Off,

98
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: you know, in Touch. He got his new sitcom and

99
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: he said, I gotta get Shirley round. And I came,

100
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: I was on the plane and they were like, Shy

101
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: has asked me if you do this show with him,

102
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: and you know it's small, but I'm just like, when

103
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: your friends and people call you because they've got to

104
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: have you, the least you can say is okay, yes, Well,

105
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: I tell everybody I've been in the room when they've

106
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: been demanding and asking for this young lady, this diva,

107
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: this goddess, and over the years I've seen her, you know,

108
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: and and it guess what. She came on the set

109
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: and she delivered. But here's the thing about it is

110
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: that she delivered with humbleness professionalism. Um, there's a certain

111
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: way you come on because I've been fortunate to be

112
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: around a lot of stars, and some stars I don't

113
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: want to be around, okay, and some talent that orange

114
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: stars I don't want to be around. Okay, we only

115
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: get in that beautive. She knows what I'm talking about.

116
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: And so but the problem that the issue is always delivery.

117
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: If because we're working on a stress situation, you know,

118
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: we have to deliver. We do a lines, we have

119
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: to make sure the live reach right. You have to

120
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: write a character, you have to come in and we're

121
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: all hoping in praying that this series gets renewed. People

122
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: watch the series and get the ratings. There's so many

123
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: things that go into creating the project. Did you have

124
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: to put it out there and see if the general

125
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: public likes it. And then you have to have a

126
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: talent like Shirley Raff who wants to promote it. See

127
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: see if she doesn't what I'm saying you See, that's

128
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: why you're doing this show about money making because promotion, promotion, promotion.

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: You can have the most incredible idea script series out there,

130
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: but if nobody knows it's there, it means absolutely nothing.

131
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: You know. I shoot two series. I shoot Abvid Elementary,

132
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: and I shoot a series called Motherland Ford Salem, which

133
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: is an outstanding series on the free form. I don't

134
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I got you, I got about you. I got you, Okay,

135
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: I got you? Because that Demetria's exactly right, and people

136
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: should see Demetria. People should see the show. When you've

137
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: got a woman like me as the president of the

138
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: United States in an alternative world where the future is

139
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: truly feminine, they should see it. But they don't see

140
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: it because of a lack of promotion. But Abbot Elementary

141
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: as the sauce they did on Evermore you hear me.

142
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh gosh. When we were shooting this show in secret,

143
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: people were like, mold up, wait a minute. That that

144
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: that little girl from what Black Lady Sketch show? No, no, no,

145
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: that that little woman from BuzzFeed, the cut Lady that

146
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: I call her the true Queen. Oh, we need to

147
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: know about this. It has been amazed saying it was.

148
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: You know. The interesting thing about it because before the

149
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: show came on my radar, you know, it hit buzz

150
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: And then my staff I said we shouldn't have you

151
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: saw a emplementary. I said, no, I have said, you

152
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: gotta see it. It's funny. This is funny. This is

153
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: really really funny. And so and then I saw an

154
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: article on her. Because I live in to city. I

155
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: live in Atlanta, I live in Houston. I always read

156
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: the Houston newspaper and I just saw an article on

157
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: the creator in the lead in and I was just

158
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: reading about her, and I would go okay, and then

159
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: they said, oh, you know, Shirley raf schedule to do

160
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: your show. I go okay, I gotta watch it because

161
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: what I don't do, shir I do not interview people

162
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: on that you know, just read your bio and ask

163
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: your nere courtions. I hate that. I hate that. So

164
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on my sofa yesterday and I saw episode one,

165
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: I saw episode two, I saw episode three, and I

166
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: the principal, uh, the James. I think it is a

167
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: bright talent that she has not acted before. This is her.

168
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Your Kid is a show like this, and she is

169
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: killing it, killing it you. And and here's the thing

170
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: about it. Sett in Philadelphia, there's is a kindergarten setting,

171
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, it's a primary primary school and

172
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: so and so when when we say that means that

173
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: it's a public school, correct, because they are. They're struggling

174
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: for funds, they're struggling the kids supplies, they're struggling to

175
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: deliver adequate and correct education to these young kids. And

176
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: and and it is a black population of kids. And

177
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: the tending school, which is typical for a public school.

178
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: And her character, Barber is the seasons teacher that I

179
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: would say that you always have these shows where you

180
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: have to have somebody who's extreme, and that's uh, that's

181
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: the white character. She's extreme because you don't know if

182
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: she because she has a line as she said you know,

183
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: I can make more money on the streets. And you

184
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. You go, is that drugs?

185
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Is that prostitution? Which talking about? And and and that's

186
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: played by Lisa and Walter and it's really amazing and

187
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: wonderful as well. And you feel the reality of a character,

188
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: You feel that the comedic frustration of all these characters

189
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: that are put together. And I think that's what it

190
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: all happens when we talk about this series Abbott elementary.

191
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: When you do a table read, sirl and the table

192
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: read them and tell everybody's like, you know, they bring

193
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: everybody in the cast. There's that cat producers there, sometimes

194
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: Network is there, of course, the person who wrote the

195
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: script and other writers and then the cast sits around

196
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: the table and they read the script okay on in seats.

197
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: That's when you really get a sign of sense. So

198
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: if something's flat or something works, stand on it. You

199
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: add to it all that we don't we'll fix that,

200
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: We'll fix that, We'll fix that. How is it that

201
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: table read when you sat down for this series the pilot,

202
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: I honestly have to tell you that sitting there listening

203
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to the show, I really knew that I was onto

204
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: something very special. You know, when we were doing dream

205
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: Girls back in the day and we would stand in

206
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: the wings and listen to Jennifer Holiday saying, I knew

207
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: we were onto something special. When I met Brandy doing

208
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: Moitia and this young girl came on in all of

209
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: her braids and just being herself, I knew we were

210
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: onto something special. That table read with abad element I

211
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: was doing what I have been. Yes, like, we will

212
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: be right back with more money making conversation with Rashan McDonald. Now,

213
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: let's return some money making conversation with Rashan McDonald. First

214
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: of all, I felt you were You were two of

215
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: my teachers in high school. Uh, that's that's limit trad

216
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: Let's she's my biology teacher and there's Georgia Nelson that

217
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: used my math teacher. You know, they were both people

218
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: who focused me. Who who who allowed me to sit

219
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: here in this chair today because of those two teachers.

220
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: So I felt your character, Barbara was very relatable from

221
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: that step bone because because I needed that, I needed

222
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,119
Speaker 1: that person to Okay, you stop, stop all the silliness.

223
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: This is who you are and that's what your character

224
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: is defines this role in there and the beauty of

225
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: this series. Everybody. It's kind of like shot like it's

226
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: a docuseries. In other words, if it makes it seem

227
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: like a documentary. Team it's following them around in the school,

228
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: so you get a lot of action towards the camera

229
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: and then a lot of did I say that in

230
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: front of the camera and so and so. So that

231
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: also plays into another fourth wall and you are the

232
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: fourth wall that they're talking to. And that really makes

233
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: for an original concept for us to review this sitcom

234
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure it's a single camera issue. Is

235
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: not a multi camera single camera we have. It's amazing

236
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: because what um Quinta has developed here is something literally

237
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: brand new. Well maybe it's not brand new, but it's

238
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: it's very different because when we're working, we have a

239
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: whole ballet going on with the cameras. They they're never still,

240
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: they're they're not on you know, not rack and roll.

241
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: They're only sort of scooters with wheels and everything. So

242
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: they're there. It's almost like a dance that we're doing

243
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: each other to make sure that they catch everything. There

244
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: are some things that they have caught and I was like,

245
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: I know they didn't just catch that. You know, and

246
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: sometimes I see the show and I'm like, oh my god,

247
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: they're like watching everything. You know, it's it's like that,

248
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: and it's been it's been great to be a part

249
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: of something brand new. And I say this a lot,

250
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: but Quinta Brunson, when I look at Quinto Brunson, I

251
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: feel the way I believe Maya Angelou felt when she

252
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: looked at me. Maya Angelou looked at me and said,

253
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: one day, when I hear you speak, Shirlee Ralph, I

254
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: know it was all worth it. And I felt so,

255
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: oh my god. It just made me feel so good.

256
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: And now when I look at Quinta and here she is, writing, creating,

257
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: producing this show, I look at her and I've been

258
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: through it with this industry, and I feel it was

259
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: all worth it. And I'm just so proud of her.

260
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: And you should be. You know her back around her

261
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: mom was the teacher, the Quinta that's the start showing

262
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: the creator, uh, and so that so she's she's she's

263
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: gaining information from a lifestyle that she grew up around.

264
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: And then it still goes back to the characters that

265
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the janitor, whether it's the sub

266
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: teacher Sanford, and he is funny because he's always in

267
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: the room. And then he said something crazy and you're like,

268
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I forgot he was right there. Oh he knows y'all.

269
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: When y'all in the break room, he can say whatever,

270
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: y'all not listening, I'm going fishing. I'm going fishing. Nobody goes,

271
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: what did he say? But exactly, well, you know that.

272
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: It's the fun part about it. I'm speaking to Shirley Ralf.

273
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Incredible Shirley Ralf. I have on one show. We all

274
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: know her history and television stage directing author um but

275
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: this show that she's starting in Abbott Elementary, which aired

276
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: on ABC on Tuesday's Few miss Go to ABC dot Com,

277
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Go to Hulu. I called it on Hulu. It's an

278
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: amazing show from a docuseriies doll because the cameras they

279
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: there there. Sometimes they go, oh, I didn't know the

280
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: cameras were there. I didn't really mean to say that,

281
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna cut that right, and then so and so.

282
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: It captures a lifestyle. Uh, it's a very modern approach

283
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: to school them that the principal of the school principle

284
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: she actually has a green screen studio in her in

285
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: her office. And so that's why I really loved about

286
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: it. It It felt so modern, but it didn't feel forced.

287
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: And I think that I think that that's important to

288
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: people here that because I had a friend of mine

289
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: they were saying that day they were they were working

290
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: on a project, a sitcom project, and they said that

291
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: the executive came back and said, well, it feels kind

292
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: of dated. It feels like it feels like a traditional sitcom. Well,

293
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: this is not a traditional sitcom, and I'm just gonna

294
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: let you know that it's it's a very innovative. It's

295
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: very it's very modern, it's very sensitive. It also has

296
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: those dramatic moments which I like in brilliance sitcoms, where

297
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, we can laugh through the pain, but did

298
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: we got the message of the pain? Talk about that?

299
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: Thank you? You know, it's so interesting. When I first

300
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: saw the script, I love the character of the principle

301
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: and I said to Quinta, give me a shot at

302
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: the principle and she said, no, absolutely not. We need

303
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: a queen from Mrs Howard and that you and he

304
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: has given me the wonderful task of doing exactly what

305
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: you just said. I delivered the heart and the message

306
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: of the show. Last week's episode when someone when a

307
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: group of um privileged college students come in and they

308
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: want to fulfill the wish list, and they break into

309
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: the classroom and Miss Howard has to say no, no,

310
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: get out, get out, and then to confront young Janine

311
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: to say, I know my students don't have everything, but

312
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: my students don't need to know that they have everything.

313
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Let them be happy and enjoy what it is they have.

314
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: And that's very true. These expensive gifts. Oh hell no, no,

315
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's really interesting you say that because you know,

316
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: if you know, slice of my life, and I grew

317
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: up in the hood, and I grew up a six sisters,

318
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: two brothers, to bear room, shotgun house. That was me.

319
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: So I go through high school and I'm gonna tell

320
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: you it wasn't to college that I actually use the

321
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: fork and knife, you know. So, so when I would eat,

322
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: and when I eat, my friends and go, why you

323
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: eat everything with a spoon? Well that's all I had.

324
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: If the house was a spoon, and so I would

325
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: cut my meat with a spoon, I would go, dude,

326
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: there's a knife and a fart there. Well, I guess

327
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: what I didn't know. I didn't have it, so guess

328
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: what I was. I was cool with it. And then

329
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: of course I realized, Okay, there are other you can use.

330
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: Did you use? But that that's exactly what you're saying.

331
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: If you don't know, then you're comfortable with. Guess what.

332
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: It didn't hurt my growth. It didn't stump my growth.

333
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: It was just something I didn't know it was available

334
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: to me. But it didn't stop me from being succe.

335
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: And that's what I take away from that line. When

336
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: I saw that moment, it was just a flashback to

337
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: my life when I was just in college cutting everything

338
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: with a spoon. I was even with a spoon, and

339
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: when I when I went through the line, I just

340
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: grabbed a spoon and because you know, I got a

341
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: knife and okay, no, biggie, I'm cool. And but thesonderful point.

342
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: The wonderful point to this is that you were raised

343
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: in a home that made you feel good about what

344
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: you had. You did not feel less than. And I

345
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: love the fact that we were able to say that

346
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: out loud. You should not be made to feel less

347
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: than because you don't have as much as others. You know,

348
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: I I tell you. I'm a plane all ordinary, middle

349
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: class child of the sixties kid, and I always thought

350
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: I was rich, always thought I was rich. I grew

351
00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: up and found out I wasn't rich. Right, Larans made

352
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: me feel good about what I had and where I

353
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: was in life, and just like you, it did not

354
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: stop me from reaching for my dreams. It did not

355
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: deter me from being becoming who it was I am

356
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: still becoming. I want to talk about you being an

357
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: AID advocate activists before I close out, because I think

358
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: it's important part of who you are. I've seen what

359
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: you've done over the years is you've been front and center,

360
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: and I think that's important that people know that you

361
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: know you want to you know, like I see how

362
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: recently Betty White passed away and they honored her on

363
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: a hundredth birthday by because he's an advocate for pets,

364
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, animal animals, so and I'm not comparing her

365
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: activism for age to pets. I'm just saying that people

366
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: are more than what you see they are. They do

367
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: more behind the scenes, and sometimes just because they are

368
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: public figures. You entertained. That's how we care about. That's

369
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: all we want to know. You've been an activist in age.

370
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: Talk about why that was so You've been honored the nations,

371
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: You've been honored the Jamaica. You know, you have been

372
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: a international advocate. Talk about why that has been so

373
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: important to you. As an original company member of dream Girls,

374
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: the musical, the original on Broadway, you know, we lost

375
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: one third of our company to AIDS, not HIV, two AIDS,

376
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: and nobody said anything about that loss, and somehow it's

377
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: stuck with me, and I said, no, we have to

378
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: do better. We have to acknowledge these talented, amazing, beautiful

379
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: men that we have lost, and a few women too,

380
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: but not in our company. But that's how I got involved.

381
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: And it's so hard for me now after everything I

382
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: learned about the HI the virus and the Corona nineteen virus.

383
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: So many parallels, so many similarities that tell me a

384
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: lot about human behavior. People are hardheaded. People do not

385
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: believe the truth even when it is told to them.

386
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: People enjoy lives when they say, ignorance is not bliss,

387
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: it is only a same as a warning. When it

388
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: came to HIV, we knew that condoms were a known

389
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: barrier to the disease. Could we get people to wear condoms.

390
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Could we get women to carry condoms and protect themselves? No,

391
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: just like we can't get people to adhere to mask

392
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: wearing now with COVID nineteen. It doesn't feel good. It

393
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: doesn't fit. Same excuses we had back in the day

394
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: with HIV, the same excuses now we have with masks

395
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: and the virus. Get tested, know your status so you

396
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: don't spread the disease HIV get tested. Could we get

397
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: people to get tested and if they did get tested,

398
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: they would only go in for their first test and

399
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: would not come back for their results, like so many

400
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: people walking around halfway vaccinated for CORONA now or completely

401
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: unvaccinated for corona. People who know or knew that they

402
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: were positive for HIV back in the day did not

403
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: tell anybody, like people now know they're positive for COVID nineteen,

404
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: don't tell anybody and then act like it's a lie.

405
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: HIV did not have to become a black woman in

406
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: the South burden, but it is. Corona nineteen does not

407
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: have to become endemic, meaning a part of who we are. So,

408
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: just like the flu, you have to get a booster

409
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: a shot every year or every two three, four months.

410
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Who knows when it's gonna be with Corona. People are

411
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: hard headed. They don't want to listen to the truth,

412
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: and they want to make up all kind of stories

413
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: around these things, talking about why should people why should

414
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: the government be telling me what to do? Well, here's

415
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: here's some things that you don't have to do. Please

416
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: do not get a driver's license. Get out there and

417
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: drive without your license. See what happens when they find

418
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: you driving without a license. Please, if you're in a

419
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: state where they charge you income tax, don't pay your taxes.

420
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: Just don't pay your taxes because when the I R

421
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: Rest finds you, you're gonna see when what happens when

422
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: people tell you some of the things that you have

423
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: to do. And by the way, we vaccinate our children

424
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: for a lot of diseases so that they can go

425
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: to school, so that other children don't get sick. I

426
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: suggest you try not vaccinating your child for anything, because

427
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: that child will not be going to school anywhere. So

428
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: those are just a few of the things that the

429
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: government tells you you must do. What you're gonna do,

430
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: that's what I need to know what you're gonna do,

431
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: because see, I need you to survive and I need

432
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: you to fight for our dog going right to vote,

433
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: because if you want to make some money, you need

434
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: to be able to vote and tell people where to

435
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: spend the money that they have got for you that

436
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: you don't know about. Because you're not part of this,

437
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: you're not voting. I'm just saying, don't get misstarted. That's

438
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: my life. Well, I would tell you this, that little

439
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: portray right there will be clipped and put on mine

440
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: social media, because that's the part of life. That's the

441
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: that's surely right after I don't that's sure if I've

442
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: seen that's the part that you hear in this interview.

443
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: She's awarded an actress, singer, producer, author for Anthropist. She's

444
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: a goddess, she's a diva. More importantly, on Tuesdays Hulu,

445
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: ABC dot Com, watch a very funny, serious Abbott Elementary.

446
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: It's stars in airs on ABC, but they've got so

447
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: many great outlets that you can see. It's a brollier
