And when you start 131 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: telling the story like this and you're playing actual role 132 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: in the story, how do you play off? How do 133 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: you deal with you know, telling some stories that might 134 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: not be flattering, but the story you want to tell 135 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: is the right are are close to the right story? 136 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: How did how did you take that?

Here's the show a movie that's appearing on Lifetime, 139 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: and sometimes the characters a part of your personal life, 140 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: weren't flattering, like you're like the role of NeSy. We 141 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: saw how that played out in the movie. Uh, your grandmother, 142 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: Dr Maddie. Um was a tyrant. I used the word, 143 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: I can I'm not incorrect when I used the word. 144 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: She was had tyrant tendencies. She was overbearing, she would 145 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: gold driven. She was a taskmasker. You know, she only 146 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: she thought her way with the highway type approach. When 147 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: you're doing a show like that, or a movie like that, 148 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: or a film like this, how does it How does 149 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: it play on you to say, you know, this is 150 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: this doesn't look good for my grandmother, but this is 151 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: how she This is to tell a story correctly, we 152 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: got to tell this side of her. How did that 153 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: play for you emotionally in this project? Um? Well, first, 154 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that she was a tyrant because, um 155 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: what's associated with tyrant is oppression and or like a 156 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: cool ruler kind of thing. My Mama's taken about that definition. UM. 157 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: I will say that that she was a strong woman. 158 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: And I do think that obviously this this new generation 159 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: may not agree with some ways um as we don't 160 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: agree with a lot of ways of the traditional approach. Um, however, 161 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: we see what it has done for them and UM, 162 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: it actually has allowed me to honor the way that 163 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: they have led UM their children speaking of the generations 164 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: before UM.

I think that 208 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: my grandmother. Um, she had to be that way because 209 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: again she was a woman in leadership and if we 210 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: noticed she had to fight, he had a challenge or 211 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: I'll just say a challenge with men on both sides 212 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: where they was in her home or if it is 213 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: in her public leadership for uh form Um, so I 214 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: would say, you know you just again you're true to me? 215 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: To put off the bones. That's such as life, that's 216 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: what comes with it. And um, I was still glad 217 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: to be a part of the story. It's a beautiful 218 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: story because her legacy still moves on. And very often 219 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: we put to a woman who is strong and who 220 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: sticks to their guns that they have this negative way 221 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: of doing things or they are this negative kind of person. 222 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: But if it's a man, then it's considered to be different. 223 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: And so I'm excited that her story is able to 224 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: be told in this time and in this day because 225 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: we're now acknowledging women in history pioneers who are women 226 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: female pioneers and so forth. So um, yeah, that's how 227 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm able to push past the story. And she's inspiring. 228 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: She's an ambitious woman. And again she said to her gun, well, 229 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: you know great, And that's why I wanted to talk 230 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: about that, because we all can have perceptions and uh, 231 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, and believe me, when I used the word tiring, 232 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: it was only in a in a role of being 233 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: a person who who wills their way, you know, and 234 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: in her way was same note uh beyond key, Um, 235 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: you know, Twinkie was with her all the time. And 236 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: Twinky Because I don't want to tell the story, but 237 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: I want to let everybody know that the years they 238 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: were important in this story because they on the on 239 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the on the screen, they show you different years that 240 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: are important. Like I said, nineteen sixty three it was 241 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: in Detroit when you know, Motown was blazing, but she 242 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: wanted to follow the path of gospel. Then they went 243 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: to nineteen seventy three, nineteen seventy six was really that 244 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of like their first performance. NINT needed too big concert, 245 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: NINT needed not. But along the way, like like she stated, 246 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: your mom had to deal with male promoters who stiffed 247 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: her or underpaid her. She had to deal with church council, 248 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: which was when I looked at that scene, it was 249 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: nothing but man telling her are reprimanding her and also 250 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: dealing with the fact that she had to cur to 251 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: get out of a bad marriage. And and she said 252 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: she didn't want her daughters cooking the cleaning, so she 253 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: always had a more upwards, a mobile approach to what 254 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: her daughters could be and should be. She just saw 255 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: a talent and she saw that talent is their way out. 256 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: And that is what played strong to me in the movie. 257 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: And that is what you know when you when you're 258 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: playing the role of your mom. Now, now we're coming 259 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: close to home. You know her character. Did you did 260 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: you talk to your mom about the character and you 261 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: just you saw the script? How did you develop and 262 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: play that role out? Yeah? I did talk to my 263 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: mom about it, um, but most of what I did 264 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: because I didn't want to use my mom as a 265 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: cheat sheet, but I did. I didn't do my ways 266 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: of interviewing her and asking the questions year and yere. 267 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: But I did a lot of setting her about just 268 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: looking at some of her UM interviews and how she interacts, 269 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: cause I'm used to her acting as mommy, and of 270 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: course I saw lot um you know, of her as 271 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: a wife and um and in the First Lady and 272 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: all that, but as a sister, UM, I needed to 273 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: watch more closely to that. So I did on YouTube 274 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: video and I watched her interviews and all that stuff. UM. 275 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: That was how I prepared. Well, the thing about it is, 276 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: let me just say, since everybody I'm talking to cure 277 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: Ki Ki shared a key kid is a nickname, UM, 278 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: and we're talking about the lifetime movie that she started 279 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: in the Legendary Clark Sisters, UM, that will be on 280 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: the be on the screens April leventh on all television's television, 281 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: zetts and streaming and all those good things.
