The 228 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 8: Wiz was on Broadway for five years and The Wiz 229 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 8: won seven Tonies back when they were on, So I 230 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 8: was happy to come back into a hit show. 231 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 4: How is the climate on Broadway now for black actors 232 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 4: and black performers better? 233 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 6: No, I don't think so. 234 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't think has been good though. 235 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 8: I think fifty years ago it was better.

You know, 239 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 8: they don't want stars. They just want people to enjoy 240 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 8: the show. So no, it's not better. 241 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 3: I was going to ask, do people respect Broadway actors 242 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: and actresses like they should. I don't feel like they 243 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: get the respect or or the kudos that those actors 244 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: and actresses do, because you guys do a lot of 245 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: shows in a short period of time, and unlike movies 246 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: or sitcoms or even going on tour, this is a 247 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: totally different thing. 248 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 8: I don't think that we do get the respect. I 249 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 8: don't think that Broadway actors get the respect, not from 250 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 8: their peers and not from the producers of Broadway shows. 251 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 8: I don't think they respect that's the way they should. 252 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: I don't how do black performers get that respect. 253 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 6: I don't know if we'll ever get it. I think 254 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 6: they see us in a different light. I think that. 255 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 8: If this is the thing, I was doing it in 256 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 8: view a couple of years ago, maybe two or three 257 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 8: years ago, and. 258 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 6: One of the girls said, well, we just have to 259 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 6: keep trying.

But what I love about 613 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 11: her is the realness and the willingness to retreat from 614 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 11: the industry and not have to be defined by that. 615 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 9: So that's what I love and what I don't want. 616 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 3: How difficult was it for you because I mean you 617 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 3: didn't come under streetwear right like most people come up 618 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: the streetwhear you cametre, which is almost impossible because it 619 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: takes a lot of money, it takes a lot of experience, 620 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 3: and they say that is like. 621 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: Fighting through the mold white men, and you were able. 622 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 2: To do this. 623 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 11: I mean, I have no fashion sense. It's more I 624 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 11: do what I do, is I do? It's ready to wear, 625 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 11: which is luxury fashion, you know, like with solden Burgdorf, Saxs, Avenue, 626 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 11: Nema markets. 627 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 9: It's hard to. 628 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 11: Be completely honest because fashion is not unlike any other industry, 629 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 11: you get compartmentalized. If you're black, you're expected to make 630 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 11: urban clothes, You're expected to be weird, You're expected to 631 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 11: like I'm not expect when I walk in the room. 632 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 11: People don't expect me to be the person that dresses 633 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 11: the first lady like they expect the old white man. 634 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 11: And so the time, I feel a lot of pushback 635 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 11: from the industry because I don't fit the mold of 636 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 11: what they think in American sports web designers should be. 637 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 11: But that's what I'm fighting against to normalize us in 638 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 11: different places because we're not a monolith. We're not one 639 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 11: type of We don't do one type of thing in 640 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 11: every industry. And that's it's very much like that in fashion, 641 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 11: Like if you're and it's kind of like they have 642 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 11: their picks. It's like this is the black design that 643 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 11: we're promoting this year. You're not that person because you 644 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 11: don't fit the mold. You don't make hoodies, you don't 645 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 11: make shogging pants, you don't do that, So you don't, 646 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 11: we didn't sanction you. And because I came in, I 647 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 11: think when I came into the industry and it kind 648 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 11: of blew up, it was I kind of came through 649 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 11: a back door dressing Michelle Obama and it just kind 650 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 11: of took over and the you. 651 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 6: Know, KY came into the modeling world. 652 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, and they kind of like, yeah, I mean, they 653 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 11: don't like when you don't go through the proper functions 654 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 11: get there, especially when and then you're black too. 655 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 9: So but I don't really care. God, yeah, I don't care. 656 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 9: And that's what my mom always said. She said, no man. 657 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 11: I you know, I grew up in the church and 658 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 11: my mom always told me, no man will ever take 659 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 11: the credit for your success. And I never understood that 660 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 11: meant until I actually entered this industry, and I kind 661 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 11: of came up through a way that I don't think about. 662 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: How are you picking you to work with? 663 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 5: Like when you look at Stephanie Mills, you said, you 664 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 5: know what, this is what I want to put on 665 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 5: on her today? 666 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 11: Well, you know, it's not even a question.
