49
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: you based at? I'm here in Atlanta. I'm from the A. Okay,

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: you're from not from the A, but I consider myself

51
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: a Georgia peach. I've been here for about sixteen seventeen years,

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: so really, you know, we always hear about the move

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. The opportunities are here, you know, l A.

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: You know I moved. I lived in l A fifteen years.

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I lived in New York. My past history as a

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: stand up comic, this is I'm acting. But basically my

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: career has been tied to management and production and producing

58
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: shows and films, which is what we don't have done

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: it all over the country, living in Chicago, lived in

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: of course Los Angele, New York. I'm originally from Houston.

61
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: So when I hear you talk about Atlanta's home, you're

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: actually living in what people want to get out of

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta from a from an entertainment standpoint, you're acting, You're

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: in acting, a working actress in Atlanta. How did you

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: pull that off? You know? I think sometimes you know,

66
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: they say ignorance is bliss. I don't think I knew better.

67
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Um I was. I got my start with acting with

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Mr Tyler Perry, but of course with the stage place.

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: My very first thing, my semi big thing would have

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: been Meet the Browns, and we toured that for a

71
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: year and after that I was like, Okay, I'm in

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Fort Walton Beach. There's definitely not the kind of opportunities

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: that I want here. And Florida comedy in for waa, yeah,

74
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, military life and that's about it. Um So

75
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: I made the move here without the real knowledge of

76
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: what it could be with the television industry. I knew

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: about the music part of it, which was definitely a

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: big draw for me as well as a singer. But

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: when I got here, it was just really really cool

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: to see the way that I was here at the

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: beginning of the architecture that was coming of the industry

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. And it feels that way. It feels

83
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: very much to talk about that legacy of time frame

84
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: that you were coming. Now, you mentioned we mentioned singing,

85
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: So what is that play? Because I looked at your

86
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: resume it was talking about tours like with my boy

87
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: to Rees Tank, talk about that journey because now we

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: just focused on acting right now? Right? Yeah, well no,

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: not necessarily. Um that that part of the journey was

90
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: really really cool because that was the original drum. The

91
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: beautiful thing about a dream is that it grows and

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: it expands and sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down, but

93
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: it can also be very parallel. Um. So music has

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: always been always, always, always, from the very first time

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: I heard Miss Whitney Houston, always been my dream. Um.

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: And getting to perform with people like Tyree's Tank Vantage,

97
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: Hey girl, Vantage, I love you, you know, getting to

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: do all of that type of stuff. Charles Wilson, Oh

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, I love her, you know, getting to to

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: tour with those types of people, I got an opportunity

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: to learn a lot, not just about the music, but

102
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: also the entertainment of it, and the give and take

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: between the audience and they aren't and most definitely the business.

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: You have to remember that even if this is your dream,

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: there is a business very much attached to it, and

106
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what people forget. Okay, Walden Beach, Okay,

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: the singing pull you out of there? Are acting pulled

108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: you out of Fort wall The desire to sing but

109
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: starting to act fulled me pulled me out of Fort WALLA.

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: What did this this? This is a natural skill or

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: you went to your training to see that you could

112
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: be an excellent actress because your resume tells me that

113
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: you're in demand. I've never gone to a class acting.

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to, always wanted to know, you know,

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: And like you said, everybody's path is a little bit different.

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: What I recommend it for people, absolutely not. I definitely

117
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: want to train, I definitely want to get into some classes.

118
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: But what I've taken the opportunity to do since I've

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: been a working actress for so long, to make sure

120
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: that I learned something with each and every character, each

121
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: and every director from my co stars. I asked the questions.

122
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: It may seem trivial. I'm like, so why why why Blue?

123
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to learn what's happening behind the camera.

124
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn the financial part of it. I

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: really want to make sure that I'm learning each step

126
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: of the way because I wasn't necessarily brought up in

127
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: the technical training of it. I'm still just staring at you. Said, look,

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: ra Sean, I'm looking at your resume. I just rattled

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: off bounds, sts, moles, Stev, Saints and Sinator's. You sees

130
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: a house divided. That's the house Divide is in Vancouver's

131

Speaker 1: you know you can you can be doing something. And

137
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you come up with a gift like

138
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: you seem to have a gift that you just knew

139
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: you could motivate people. You understood the financial part of it.

140
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: You also had this funny bone like you're well rounded

141
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: and all of your gifts, but understanding how to utilize

142
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: them to the best of their abilities. Where the training

143
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: comes in and that's what I want to learn how

144
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,160

155
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: how many times I've seen this thing goes to going

156
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: to see it and safe they were Aquaman, Aquaman and

157
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: so so so I'm excited when I saw the trailer

158
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: because it plays into my fantasy. Oh. You know, strong women,

159
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: women who are empowered but also who are vulnerable, and

160
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: that's tied to the mysteries of their power and the

161
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: journey of becoming responsible, a responsible individual with those powers.

162
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: So tell us first how you got involved with this opportunity.

163
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: When the script came across my desk for me to audition,

164
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: I still audition. I've been working for a really long time.

165
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: But I am not above that. That's part of this business.

166
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: So anybody who says, you know, you know, I don't

167
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: get it. But it came across and I was like,

168
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is necessary. This is now. I had

169
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: never seen anything involving witchcraft, or or the army or

170
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: women this way set in an alternate universe and alternate dimension,

171
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: maybe where women are literally the world's army. We are

172
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: the driving force behind peace, We are the driving force

173
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: behind safe deep men play a much larger role in

174
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: the parenting of the children. And um, we have it's

175
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: it's it's literally all the quote unquote jobs are flipped, right.

176
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: But I love that you mentioned the vulnerability, because the

177
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: power that is in these which is these women, these armies,

178
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: is the fact that they are vulnerable. They are sensual,

179
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: they are um scared, you know, all of those things

180
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: that are taken to be weaknesses for women are toned

181
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: into a strength and it's a beautiful thing to see.

182
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: Now this show we're talking about Motherland's Motherland for Salem.

186
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: got the feeling that you had. It was it was

187
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot of physical Oh god, yes, okay, So so

188
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: you're you're tall, okay, and running under the wires and

189
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: a lot of brown and crawling and things like that.

190
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: Talk about that aspect. You know, have you done anything

191
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: that physical and or acting career? I have never been

192
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: blessed with the opportunity to be so straight and battered

193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: for money. Um, it was. It was a really cool thing.

194
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: That's the other thing that drew me to it, you know.

195
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: I twenty nine Team was about trying different roles, things

196
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: that people hadn't seen me in. Um in a house divided,

197
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: I play a villain. I'm always the good girl. I'm

198
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: always cheated on. You know, I always have a redemptive

199
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: quality and this is just such a total departure from that.

200
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, those those those qualities of the character. Yes,

201
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: Charis is a fool, but with within a cost in

202
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: Motherland for Salem, getting in there and having to really

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: dig deep and find those places when I didn't think

204
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: I had the strength, when I didn't think I had

205
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the power um and still figuring out how to be

206
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: compassionate while being a drill sergeant of sorts. You know,

207
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm like a female Wesley's Nights in that thing. It's

208
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: really really dope. It's really cool because because you know,

209
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: I saw like three and they sent me the official trailer,

210
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: sound like two or three more trailers, because I got

211
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: excited when I saw that trailer right as other trailers

212
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: go back and so talk about the history a little

213
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: bit more. The one that they put out officially just

214
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: talks about the immediate you know, the media. You guys

215
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: been training, you guys have these powers failing and that's

216
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: why I saw the vulnerability. But it's all some good

217
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: trailers out there that show well, how you guys were creative,

218
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: your your your past, this that made this opportunity in

219
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: the future. And so so what is exactly is your

220
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Are you a lead or you are from a standpoint

221
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: of one of the people, one of the drill sergeants

222
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: in there because it's a military format. You're training as

223
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: soldiers to protect the world. But you have these special powers.

224
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: What is your power? I am drill sergeant, an acost

225
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: your quartermain, and I am the main person that teaches

226
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: all of the new recruits. All of the young ladies

227
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: who are involved in the draft have to come through

228
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: me at some point to make sure that they are

229
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: ready for life, death, and more, period, point blanket. In

230
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: the midst of that, they're learning how to harness if

231
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: they even know what their powers are, their specific power,

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: while understanding how to do all of these other things

233
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: that will help them in the warcraft. So I do everything,

234
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: but you're still and tell me your power. There are seers,

235
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: there are nowhere's, there are healers. Anacostia does everything. That's

236
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: why I have to be a drill sergeant. I have

237
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: to be able to help them learn how to tap

238
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: into that in your life. Oh absolutely, I'm everyone ant

239
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: is not laying about that gonna breakout, so no good will.

240
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: I can't compete. I barely hating what you're talking now.

241
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling to these talent of the people coming on

242
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: my show just gonna bust out. On a note. You know,

243
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm going like, I put the handphone, but she actually singing,

244
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: I can't play that. That wasn't bad. That was bad.

245
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: That was bad. Don't you do me like that? Now?

246
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: This this when you when you see a show like

247
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: this and you see how Marvel in d C, I

248
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: s DC as well has slip the script on women

249
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: empowering women, do you feel good about it? Is just

250
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: the right time to present without question, without question. And

251
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned Marvel and you and you mentioned

252
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: UM d C. But you know it's free form. Is

253
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: part of the umbrella that is Disney. Yes, but Disney

254
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: has also brought us Mulan like there. There's been a

255
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: lot of this that's kind of been there. But I

256
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: think that the timing is so necessary because of the

257
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: temperature that's going on in our in our culture, in

258
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: our sit in our country, you know, where we have

259
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: to band together and we have to show the strength

260
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about, you know, equality and women's rights

261
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: and it up, but this is really really harnessing it.

262
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: And our right is to be vulnerable while we're strong.

263
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: Our right is to be pure while we're sensual, all right,

264
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: And we have so many different rights. And the thing is,

265
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: while we're showing all of these strengths of womanhood and

266
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: hear me, roar and all of that other stuff, we're

267
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: also bringing the men in and we're showing their strength

268
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: in a different way. It's really really quite beautiful the

269
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: way that Elliott Lawrence, the creator of this show What's

270
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,920

317
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: why did you not say just Tyler Perry? Why did

318
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: you say Mr Perry? It's just just the relationship, the

319
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: reverence of the mentoring. It's a combination of things, the mentoring,

320
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: the respect um, the realization that he has earned a

321
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: lot of respect and sometimes he doesn't always get it.

322

364
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Davis way back in the day. She's crazy in the

365
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of way. Yeah, you absolutely can sing too. She

366
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: can sing to uh, Levan Davis, Alan Paine's back, who

00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 1: am I missing, China McClain, d Shaw, Everybody's back, the Twins,

Speaker 1: a puppy, everybody and the shot in his new studios. Right. Yeah,

370
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: So when you got the call, you already got are

371
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: three shows happening out there, number four, that's a blessing.

372
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: I'm not teaching that way because of the fact that

373
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: I always talk about multiple streams of income on this show,

374
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: and it means being able. To me, you've been able

375
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: to you're doing it and right in front of us,

376
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: in front of as far as an acting capacity, but

377
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: on a television format, which is even more difficult. You

378
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: can get away with in the film, but to do

379
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: what you're doing in a television format, it's really slick.

380
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: It's been, it's been different. It's been you know, And

381
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: you say, be careful what you asked where you might

382
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: get it. I'm so grateful to ask. So with that

383
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: being said, you know, because I've had talented actresses and

384
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: actors on the show like that. How do you how

385
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: do you go through the process of prepping for these scripts?

386
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: Because they all each one of those shows are different,

387
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: very different. So you have a sitcom, you have an

388
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: action adventure in Motherland sitcoms Tyler Perry Show, and then

389
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Satan Sentators that's like over the top drama, you know,

390
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: and then a House Divided you play a villain, a

391
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: a niving character. You know. So those are four different Okay,

392
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: who am I talking to now? You know? Like I said,

393
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: I you know, I think that. I think that because

394
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I've always grown up kind of watching people. I'm gonna

395
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: people watch the Observer forever and I take no parents,

396
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: not on your got like nine people rushing to the

397
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: front um. But I've always kind of kept these stories

398
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: in the back of the head because I'm like, I

399
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: might be able to play that person later. You know,

400
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at the restaurant and people thinking, Oh, she's

401
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: looking at my food. Nope, why are you're eating it?

402
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: You just broke up. He's with this person. Oh my gosh,

403
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: it's a scandal. It work. You know, Like I'm thinking

404
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: of those things. So when I get an opportunity to

405
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: play each of these different people, I kind of already

406
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: know them, and then I'm building off of the foundation

407
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: of what I think they might represent in somebody else

408
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: that I've met. Okay, so these are all television opportunities.

409
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about talking about film. Where are we at

410
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: with that? I want to do that, um a lot more.

411
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: I've done a little bit of the big screen. But

412
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm having so much fun with the longevity that comes

413
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: with television series. Like, you know, money management and people

414
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: don't know that wealth building and all of that stuff.

415
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: People don't understand when you're an actor and you're not working. Yes,

416
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: you get residuals, but they start to do in the

417
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: left and when you're out of a job, you're out

418
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: of a job. You ain't making money. So, you know,

419
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: I like the longevity that comes with television shows, especially

420
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: with the blessings that I've had, you know, Saints and Sinners.

421
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: If we come back in season five, House Divided, we

422
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: knocked out two seasons in one year. Motherland we were

423
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 1: filming for six months in Vancouver, um, and then how

424
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: the House of Pain like that just I don't even

425
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: need to say nothing about that one, you know, So

426
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: being able to really have that longevity. I am a

427
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: single mother and knowing where my next dime is coming

428
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: from has been very, very important. But hallelujah, he's grown now,

429
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: so I'm ready to spread my wings. Jesus, no good word?

430
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: You know? Can you cook? Or what are your balance?

431
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: See now? Why you got to custom me on? I

432
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: got to because I gotta find a flaw. Okay, you've

433
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: not different characters and you can sing and you're tall,

434
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: so cooking you can't cook? No, I can make a

435
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: mean reservation. Whatever you want to go and problem. No

436
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: my son cook okay. And you you're not acting on

437
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: this no skill, no, okay, it ain't what you want.

438
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Burn stuff yourself you want that, So that's not part

439
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: of the balance life. Now, I mean I can. I

440
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: just don't like to. Don't okay, So make a mean reservation,

441
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: mean reservation. I'll clean up, okay. Just we're just we're

442
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: just walking out the balanced life portion. How about working out?

443
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,320

00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: We were there a month early in training, and we're

00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: about a month before we even got started filming. In

458
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: that process, you know, did it anything that they did it?

459
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, like did you ever hear the wall? Like? Wow,

460
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: I didn't expect going to be this much physical training.

461
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't think I hit a wall. I think I

462
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: woke up a couple of times with my left eye

463
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: very like shifted over there um. And there were parts

464
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: of me that hurt that. I mean, I've been and

465
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: I was a basketball player, I ran track, you know,

466
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: I was always been very physical. But the physicality that

467
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: came with this, and not only that, the mental stretch

468
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: that I had to do because I'm completely outside of

469
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: my my comfort zone and I'm doing this with five

470
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,800

490
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: if you get bit enough, you start to bite back

491
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: because you know you're at the mercy of writers. But

501
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: what comes with that? In social media recognition? How how

502
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: do you how do you deal with that when people

503
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: are recognizing you in public? How do you post? Are you?

504
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Are you very savvy as what you post on your

505
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: social media? Talk about that. I recognize that social media

506
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: is a window and I can make that window dirty

507
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: or I can make it clean. So I want them

508
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: to get the best impression of who I am. I

509
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: try to make sure that I talk about my natural hair.

510
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to include things about my son. I love

511
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: you boy, um, you know. And then I try to

512
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: make sure that people understand the different work that I

513
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: have going on. But I don't want to give away

514
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: any teasers. And I also understand the responsibility that comes

515
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: with the kind of platform that I have, right so

516
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: when it comes to posting, I'm very, very particular, but

517
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: fun with ok let's talk about something that you popped

518
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: up because it's real big natural hair. Yeah, I mean, okay,

519
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: what is it? What are the it's I'm assuming naturally curly? Yes, okay.

520
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: And so are you tied to any brands? Are you

521
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: looking for any brands to tire your your look to

522
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: or you just hey, this is my style. I'm gonna promoted.

523
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: I feel I'm blessed to have this skill set. Like

524
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: my Isacut the producer. She's big into her natural you know,

525
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: and always touching it and everything. Here, I'm touching my

526
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: ball and you know, that's what I got to work.

527
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: I got it. I had it back in the day

528
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: from two girls. Did you know me back then? You

529
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't that was too much trouble and so he k

530
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: don't be acting on. So the whole natural look that

531
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: you why is it so big nowadays? I think it's

532
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: just it for me and I can only speak on

533
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: my behalf. It was about really embracing everything of me.

534
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't know what my natural hair texture was.

535
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: I didn't understand it, and once I got it, I

536
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with it. We was gonna

537
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: fight forever um and I've just gotten to a point

538
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: where now I recognized that, just like any other relationship,

539
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: it's strengthened the relationship and the time that I take

540
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: for myself. You know, a lot of naturals, I know

541
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to get up that wash day is

542
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: a full moisturizing and ceiling can be a funky mess.

543
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: You don't know which products to use, But use that

544
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: time to just spend with yourself, like, let that be

545
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: your youth time. Especially the single moms, the working moms

546
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: that were just women in general. A lot of times

547
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: we don't take time for ourselves, and with this, this

548
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: was my time to get to know me. Okay, cool,

549
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's deal with stereotypes. Okay, cool, Like complexion, generally

550
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: your hair is straightened, Yeah, okay, cool, did you have

551
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: to deal with that. Oh yeah, I was very afraid,

552
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: especially with my industry. I didn't know how the jobs

553
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: were going to come once I started to rock my fro.

554
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: But now everybody wants me to keep it, like free form.

555
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: I love them. I love them. They are so so

556
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: so continued. They are adamant about making sure that they

557
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: include diversity and just inclusion general. And when I walked

558
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: in with my fro for my audition, they were like,

559
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: Annacostia has a fro. We would love for you to

560
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: keep your fro. And I absolutely adored that. So yeah,

561
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm sure it was exciting to hear based

562
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: on the type of acting you have to do in

563
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: that military form, and if you would have to straighten

564
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: your hair would probably been a big problem. Man. I

565
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: always wondered what I do if I had a g

566
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Jane moment where they were like, you know, can you

567
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: shave your head? Let's go pray you wouldn't do it.

568
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't. Let's checks out there. It depends on the checks.

569
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: There's checks, and you know, I'm sure you know zero's

570
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: equal bald heads. That's right. I'm glad you understand that.

571
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: You see my head ball tied to this baldness. Okay,

572
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: and just let you know that your ball got balled

573
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: for a reason. Okay. Used to have a barber come

574
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: by my house one day. I said, I'm gonna go

575
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: zero you out. Now that one series we have not

576
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: talked about it is the U M C. SID Talk

577
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: about that. How did you get started? And what season

578
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: is it? We've done two seasons already. I played Carrissa. Carrissa, Carrissa,

579
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. She comes from the wrong side of

580
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: the tracks, but she's always she was ray her parents,

581
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: her dad was had a a bit. She's been with

582
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 1: the Steelers, she's been with the Robbers, she's been she

583
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: was raised in that life. And she's connected with this

584
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: wealthy man and somehow gotten his wife out of the way,

585
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: and now she had moved herself right on in and

586
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: she's freaking havoc every which way she goes. It's really

587
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: really um a fun departure from anything I've ever done.

588
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: And I get to explore some facets that you know,

589
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: it's funny you step into these shoes, but you also

590
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: have to step into this mindset and when you get

591
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: to kind of feel the inner workings of somebody you know,

592
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of maniacal, but saying at the same time it's

593
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: different kind of feeling. She's fun. Well, all your characters

594
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: are fine. The thing that my biggest takeaway from you

595
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: here enjoying your life, the opportunity that are being presented

596
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: to you, and you're taking advantage of it. It doesn't

597
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: feel you know, we all know it's work. You know

598
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: you have to get up at a certain time, yet

599
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: sometimes said hours run longer than what they should be

600
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: and sometimes in the conditions on what they should be.

601
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: But just about dealing with it and being a professional.

602
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: It's about maintaining relationships, I think and I feel you

603
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: understand the value of relationship. This whole business is relationships.

604
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: It's uh likability, and then it's talent. You know, your

605
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: talent can get you in the door. But if people

606
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: like you, if people understand that you are a hard worker,

607
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,160
