• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, that's what That's where I was studying.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: So I studied as an actress program called the Actress
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Workshop of South Florida. Yes, it was a very amazing.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: My acting coach, God bless her, so she, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: was laid to rest a couple of years back to
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: the program. Hasn't really hasn't gone anywhere since then because
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: she was everything to the program. However, that's what I
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: was doing, just auditioning and grinding and also writing.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And you know before but you weren't doing stand up
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: though you were not.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Doing not I was not doing stand up. I was
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: just I was just sharpening my tools, just waiting for
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: waiting for the opportunity, staying in the lab, making sure
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I'm auditioning. And then you know, when the stand up
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: opportunity came about, it's because I was putting my characters
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: out there and somebody saw Toya turn Up and was like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: we would love to put her on the stage.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And I get hold on, hold.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: On for first of all, because you I love people
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: who like they know they career, they know their story,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: but they don't put no years, They don't put those
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: things full years. Okay, okay, when did you hit the stage?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: When did you start? Miss turn Up? And you dropped
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: it on social media? Obviously people started falling in love
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: with it. So when did that happen? When did start happening?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, Okay, man, it was a long time ago,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: because it was before I felt like it was before Instagram.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I was just creating these characters. And the singest Toya
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: was created. You know when I was a child, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: you know, I grew up in South Florida. I lived
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: in West Palm and I lived in the hood, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: like I would be.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Outside, you didn't want to get the hood out of
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: real We had to go home and just pull that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Out of here. I knew you which ball beat you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a hood? Now, I knew that right now.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I grew up in the hood. So Toya was
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: subconsciously being created this entire time. So once I finally
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: put the character together with my allowance money, with getting
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: you know, buying wigs and doing things like that, Toya
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: was around for a very long time. So once I
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: started putting her on YouTube and I built the courage
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: to actually like show her to the world, then I
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: got the likes of a lot of people, and it
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: just it just went from there. But this was, man,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: you want me to put a time on it, I can't, Man,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: what is it? We twenty twenty three? This was, Oh
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: my goodness, this was I can't even tell you two
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: thousand and what.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: But then they but then they started, but the comedy
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: club owners started seeing you now now, now that's that's
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: a that's a transition from a character to a stand
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: up comedy routine. Okay, for sure you could because now
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: you know, because you know, you can't just come on
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: stage and misturn up, you know, because that's a hard
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: character to keep going for that long.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: So who, so pop says who?
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Who?
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, excuse me, let me talk to miss turn up?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Am I talking to?
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Turn up?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: A Jazmine? What am I talking right now?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Listen for me? For me, it was just storytelling. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: created such a just a variety of content that all
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I really had to do was go in and take
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: my videos and put them into and piece them together.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: But all I did was tell stories. I would tell
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: about three four stories, and that would be about an
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: hour long. Sometimes they would have to be coming off
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: the stage like we gotta, we gotta get out of here,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: because I didn't really you know, I didn't really know
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: how to stop, you know. But people were like, man,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I know people who've been in the game for a
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: long time who can't do a solid forty five minutes.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Well, the one gift I've not seen your show, but
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I have to believe that your improvisational skills have to
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: be pretty off the chart, and that really is.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Oh correct sir, Yeah, that's correct.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I know because of the fact that if anybody doesn't
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: know what improv is. I always tell people a great
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: person that improv. You know, you'll see some people they're
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: they're that's how you're doing an audience and then they're
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: say something rude back to them. That's not in profit,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: that's not improfit. I always tell people, if you if
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you can, if you can take an improv or reaction
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to an audience member three sentences or three lines, now
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: that's a bit. Now that's a bit. And so the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: person I'm talking to on the phone, the way she's
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: talking and the way she's articulating, lets me know that
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: she can see something, she can take a reaction and
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: it becomes a story, and she puts that story into
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: her vernacular and gets what she's able to make it
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: relatable to everybody in the room. That's a gift that
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: most people don't understand, and that's what she has. That's
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: why she's able to take this character miss turn up
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and turn it into an extended piece. That's why she said, Rashan,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you don't know what you're talking about, you know, I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: happy on that stage three stories in, I'm mab forty
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: five and I'm forty five and three stories in.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Because am I correct? I'm not misspoken a miss turn up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: No, you're correct, You're saying everything right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Because you know what continue what's.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: So beautiful about it is the fact that I've I
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: was able to create such an online presence. I had
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: the luxury of performing in front of my own fans.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: So the people that came out to see me were
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: people that knew who I was, that were already excited,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: and you know, they were just ready for whatever. So
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: that that was the beautiful thing about it. I got
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: to meet the people whose lives I was able I
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: was touching over years, you know, so you know, it was.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Just really it really is really is amazing what she's
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: talking about, because you know, I grew up in h
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I sort of doing stand up comedy for death comedy jams.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: So most of the comedy clubs I performed in were white.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: They were white comedy clubs, and you knew, you knew
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: when I came in the city that when I started
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: seeing more and more black people in the audience, you
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: knew they came to see me.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They came to see me in.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Particular, so I could just tell right there, okay, yeah,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: this room mers twenty five percent black now, and the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: club owner would tell me, well, you know he was
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: showing you have a lot of people showing up to
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: see I knew I could see them.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They're black like there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And so and that that made me feel good because
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you know, they buy my merchandise, They stay after the show,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: shake my hand, want to take photos. It was kind
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: of a loyalty that you know, was done way before Twitter,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: way before all these things. I have my little cars.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I said I'd mail them out to everybody, let them
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: know I was coming into town. That was my marketing plan. Now,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: as you start building this relationship, when did you knew
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: know that you had something special here, Miss Brown?
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: You know, honestly, I didn't know. I just I just
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: did things that made me feel good, and it made
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: me feel good to play different characters. It made me
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: feel good to make people laugh, even if it was
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: just my family members. I never thought it was anything
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: special until people told me it was special. Because it's
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: like you don't really know you're different, or until you
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: start meeting other people that aren't really like you, or
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh, you can't do voices, or you don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: know how to do characters, like what you think everybody
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: can do it? And that's what I thought. I thought
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: everybody could do everything the things that I did. So
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: it wasn't until people were like, no, jazz, like, not
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: everybody can do that. That's that's when I found out
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: that it was actually something you know worth you know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm talking to.
• 10:49

• 11:39
  Speaker 3: because really, you know, she she can act. Jesus, she
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: has forty five different characters. Jesus, she's on all these
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: house party sisters. Is it's a teama?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: What is that? What is the name of that? Tyler Perry.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I just want to make sure because I'll be honest,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I've never seen the show. I've never seen and so
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: so I want to make sure that I not that
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I've seen sisters. I've seen your sisters. Now I can't
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: see all the time. Tip Perry got like five hundred shows,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: so you can't see them all the aval used to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: be my show. Oval was my show. I could miss
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: that show. Oh that show is so silly. That was
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: my show. And so now when you when you the
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: acting part of that's what you started out doing, was acting,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: how did you suddenly get back into the acting. Let
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: me ask you this question, which was taken off first
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the acting or the stand up comedy.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: The stand up comedy took off. And the only reason
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: why I even agreed to do it is because they
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: told me, well, you'll be playing your character, so technically
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: you would be acting.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: No, not j The check didn't the check didn't inspire you.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: The money making opportunities didn't inspire you.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: No. I told myself. I said, I'm not a comedian.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not that's what I do. And he's like, well, technically,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: he's like you, you'd be acting, so you would just
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: be acting as your character on stage, so technically you're acting,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: and all like, come, maybe you're right. I said, okay,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Well i'll try it out for you know, it was
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: a weekend. I said, okay, I'll try I'll try it
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: out for the weekend and then see how I feel.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: And when I tell you, I blacked out on stage
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: and I don't remember what happened, but all I knew
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: was that the people went wild and the rest was history.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: It was just a feeling I've never felt before.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I know that experience the very first time I walked
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: on stage, and it was an eighty six, no doubt
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: the teaming, it's eighty one. I walked those stages stand
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: up commedators, and I remember I got a standing ovation
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the very first time I walked through stage, and I
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: don't remember what I did, but I just know that
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: because it's that rush. She's talking about, that ability to
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: just make people laugh, because I've been practicing my stuff
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: out in front of my oldest sister and her son.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I was just practicing every day getting ready because it
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: gave me five minutes, and that five minutes was just
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: clicking through real fast. But the laughs kind of like
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: extends to five minutes and they're giving you the life
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: because you didn't even got to your last joke and
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: you're just trying to build momentum to get off stage
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: with the ultimate crescendo, which is applause. That's what you want.

  Speaker 3: And my very first show ever did I got a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: standing ovation. I'm not saying that every show after that
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: was a standing ovation, because sometimes when you walk on
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: stage and you just raw, you just want to just
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: just be entertaining, and that's what you was, that's what

• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to Jasmine Brown MS turn up. These are
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: characters he developed when she was really really young and
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: uh in uh West Palm Beach, Florida. Now she's really
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: she's the grown up woman now and she's now making
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: money off these characters that she developed really really long
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: way before Instagram. She developed these characters. These are not
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: characters that she thought of last week just so she
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: can build a social media following. In fact, she just
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: upload these characters because she was inspired. She was motivated
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: because she felt that this is something she wanted to share,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: and because she shared it, guess what, her whole world exploded.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: She just wanted to be an actress. And then these
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: club owners started calling and say, hey, how about you
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: come over here and grab this check, and she resisted it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: She resisted it because she wants to be an actress.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: She had the craft that she wanted to do, but
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: then she realized she could be funny. Now she's touring
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: the country. She just wrapped up a very successful tour
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: because guess what, she's about to start acting again. She's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: about to start doing her thing that she wanted to
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: do all her life. But in the meantime, Ms Brown
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: is making multiple streams of income. Let me ask you
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: some questions, Miss Brown, Do you have merchandise?
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Not anymore?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So I know you just don't do it anymore.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, sometimes when you try to just you
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: have a bright idea to do stuff, it's not always
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: right the first time. It's not always Okay, let's talk about.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: The bad idea because that money making Conversation masterclass, you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: because I always tell people I want people to hear
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: what I did wrong so they can do it right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So you're successful. You got one point three million Instagram
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: follow You got over seven hundred thousand followers on Miss
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Turn Up. So it's a lot of things you're doing right.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So what did you do wrong in the merchandising merchandising.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Side of this that you should share with us so
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: we can do it right moving forward.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: You know, I said, I feel like I wasn't being original.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I took, I took, you know, I said, rent do
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: was like what everybody would say. They would say whenever
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: they saw me. They would say rand dude. So I
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: had some rent new hats made, and I only got
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: a couple at a time because I would tell myself,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: nobody's gonna buy these, man, no one's gonna you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I didn't really believe in myself the way other people
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: were believing in me, because I was still just at
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a disbelief that people cared enough to even come to
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: my shows. So I only got a certain amount made.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And obviously I think I had got like a couple
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: of hundred. Obviously they all sold out. They sold out,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: and I was really overwhelmed, and I told myself I
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: was going to change the design and then and then
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I was like, okay, well, I'm just gonna sell. I'm
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: just gonna sell posters, and said, so I had posters
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: and I would just sign those and I would give
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: them away. But I kind of felt funny about charging
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: my people for everything because I'm there. You're going to
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: spend all this money there?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Can I help you out here?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to be out there selling nothing? Okay,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: See are you out there selling stuff or you don't
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: want selling stuff, or you have somebody else selling it
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: No, I would be out there.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: That's the problem.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: The whole meet and greet will be a thing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see meet and greet? What they do to this
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: how the meet and greek really supposed to work. They
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: go over there and buy. You're nowhere near the by,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: and when they come over you, they're meeting you after
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: they made the buy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And see that way, that's.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: No guilt because the only way they gonna see you
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: after they made the buy. See, that's the whole part
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: of the process. You got to you gotta have one, two, three,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: four step Cause I've been doing this a long time.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: So when I say there's a system to it, because reasons,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I know there should be merchandise. Merchandise involved because you
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: have characters. If you have characters, that means that you
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: have to sit down and go what is my what
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: is my structure? Who who's managing me? Not saying that
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: you don't have management, because I don't even say that,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I will not ever say that. I would just say
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: it's all about structure and what you're trying to accomplish.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You have a great PR firm, That's how we met,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: so I know you got that long lock. But when
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: it comes to merchandise, that's that mailbox money, that's that money.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: They go online, they click your website, they buy that
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: that cap, they buy whatever you want to buy, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: then they get to wear and they guess what, that's
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: marketing your brand beyond you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, So yeah, I'm not gonna.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Bring you on the show because, like I said, I
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: am so you know, when in this business, I've been
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: fortunate to meet a lot of superstars. So when I
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: met them, they were superstar. They were very talented people
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: who are superstars today.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And they all were like you.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: They all had a vision that was tied to their gift,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: and they took that gift that God gave them and
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: they worked hard.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. I always tell people that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Go show you fortunate to either build a lot of
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: great careers or have been around people who are talents
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: who are not great. I always tell people, you cannot
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: win a Kentucky Derby with a mirror. Okay, they got
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: to be thoroughbreds. They got to be able to be
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: able to run that race. And that's what you are.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: You a thoroughbred. And I know from my background research
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: on you, you're willing to do the work. So what
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: is the big goal for you?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: My friend?
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Honestly? And this is and I tell people this and
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: they think it's funny, but I say that when I
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: can no longer do all the things that I have
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: to be attractive for pretty, for whatever, and I want
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: to be behind the scenes. You know. Writing is probably
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: one of my first loves because I used to journal
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: a lot when I was young, and I used to
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: write poetry as a child, and you know, as a
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: teenager when I started like, you know, getting into relationships
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and things like that. So writing is probably one of
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: my first loves up there with acting and things. So
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: but I noticed that, you know, being an attractive black female,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: you know, they don't want you to do all the thing.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: But when I'm no longer able to do that, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I'm playing somebody's mama, and and i just want to
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: just produce and direct, which I'm I'm already not directing yet,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: but I've already been producing in things. So well, you've been.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Producing all your life. You've been writing all your life,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: you know. So that's what I get from these characters
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: you've created, you know, because they came from somewhere. They
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: came from your imagination. But you had to write things.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: You have to get these beats, these rhythms and other
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: for they to be manufactured into consistency. Because a lot
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: of people think that it's off the top of your
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: head because you do it so well. But this is
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: something that you've been working on, You've been developing over
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: the years. And I would tell you this from a person.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I started out doing stand up comedy, and I did
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: deaf Jam. I did all the comedy shows and and
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: but writing. When I started writing, my first writing assignment
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: was on Me and Boars with Steve Harvey, and then
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I did The Parents, who was Robert Townsend, and then
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: They'd all City or Hall sitcom. And then I did
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Sister Sister Tia Tamara Moori, and then I did Jamie
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Fox Show. I was coll executive to do so on
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: that show. And then I was a consultant producer on
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: The Parkers with Monique and so that whole structure changed
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: my life because it allowed me to true power. You know,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody says. To be able to
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: convince somebody thousands of people and in some cases millions
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: of people to come back that following week, on that
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: same time slot on that day, it was really powerful.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: And I realized that that's pretty amazing. And it's pretty
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: amazing for people to come to a comedy club and
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: you sell it out, they walk on stage and they
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: waiting on you. That's amazing too. But you have the ability,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Miss Brown, to be able to do both.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: And I would.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Recommend that you don't let anybody stop you from pursuing
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: that because you have been You've been, You've been dreams
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: me about this.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: All your life.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't God just gave me a lot of gifts
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: and I and somehow I stumble upon being a very
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: talented comedian and I'm a hustler. So you give me
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: my foot in the door. I'm gonna crack that door
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: wide open and see what's on the other side. I'm
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: not afraid. I'm not afraid, miss Brown. And so my
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: whole thing with you is that don't be afraid. And
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I know I'm not saying anything because you never show
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: fear in your life, but you are special. And I
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: gotta just say that to you, not like you don't
• 24:26
