• 4:45
  Speaker 1: up so I've always yes, you know, deaf comedy, jambt
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: comic view, all that performed. You know, I managed Steve Harvey,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: so that's how he met you and I met because
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: he used to be my opening act. That's how Steve
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Harvey now. So stand up comforts in my blood. So
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: tell me about your stand up com in the career
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: because that's nowhere listed in your bio. So I knew
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it was something. That's why I asked, because you're so funny.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Oh little thank you. I mean, I I look at
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: myself as a full rounded artist. So my dog is
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: very loud. I have a frenchie and he just came
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: as soon as it started, and that was a plan.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so I mean being you know, I try
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to be you know, experimental in my creativity. And so
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: two of my girlfriends dared me, dared each other to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: start doing stand up. Um and I've I've been doing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it for over ten years. I've flowed around with it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah's something I love to do. I've met Kevin Hart
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that way, Mike Gaps, Tiffany Hattrish and I became friends
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: during stand up and you know, just being really thrust
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it into the comedic world. I was I Love that girl.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You know. That was produced by Um Bentley, Kyle Evans,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and Martin Lawrence and so one of the requirements to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: play I'm Unique was for me to do stand up.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So that just made me do that even more. But
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, I love acting,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, like that's the main thing. So to go
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on the road and commit to that, it's always something
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that I have to always convince me my team. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: gotta give you credit. Now, I was very talented as
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a stand up I could not act somehow when you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: put the paper in front of me. I did a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: couple of films and people said I was good in it,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but I just think I was just playing a role.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It wasn't me. I was. So it's so extreme. But
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but the whole process of being able to capture character
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because you play so many different characters, how is that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: or do you have an acting coach? How do you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: pull that off? Well, I've been trained. I went to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Baltimore School for the Arts when I was in high
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: school and then I graduated from there and went to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: California Institute of the Arts. And that's what brought me
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to California. So of my degree, right, and so with
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that process, So do you do you do? You take
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: every role as like, for instance, people say they get
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they get into the moment. You know, a lot of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: your roles are comedic, you know, and like I said,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I met you when we was doing the very popular
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Fall from Grace and there was nothing really funny about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that and so so that was major swing from you
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: being a stand up comedian. How do you balance those
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: two differences? Well, you know, being a full rounded artist,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what I love about training and really
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: honing your craft. And you know, I've I studied Shakespeare
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and absent and check Off along with you know, August Wilson,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: along with Edward Albie. You know, you know, you just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: gotta learn it all rum and learn how to have
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: as many you know, things in your toolbox. And then
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, of course there's God's gift and the favor,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and I was very grateful that, you know, I started
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in drama right um, and I was like, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: guest star on e er recurring guest star. That was
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like one of my first big gigs. I did Grace Anatomy,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: so I had lots of like drama stuff under my belt. Uh.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And I was just so grateful that Tyler remembered me
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and from Acrimony and think the special for me, which
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was also drama Acrimony, and he was like, I wanna
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: break you into the drama because people don't know all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the things you can do. And I was like, very
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: grateful for that opportunity. Right when you look, we can
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: go back a little bit the Fall from Grace, Like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I said, I think it's still one of the you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of Tyler Perry. One of the best
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Tyler Perry films. You know, the ending I never saw coming.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I was like wow, And I just highly recommended so
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: many people. I really went on social media crazy about
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the movie, just telling everybody to watch it now in
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a movie because the reason I really respected that movie
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: so much because it was on Netflix. It still is
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: on Netflix, by the way, and it opened in a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety countries and so, which is always frustrated
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: me by black movies or black film, especially when they're
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: run by the studios. When they when they premiere them,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: they premiere them domestically, and so as a black artist,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you really never get that international growth, that international appeal,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and and that's what all we want to do. We
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just want to share our talents with the world. When
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that movie, right, when that movie opened at that wide?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Did that did that did that have a major impact
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of a major influence on your brand on your social media?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Can you talk about the influence of that movie on
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: your career as well as being an opening worldwide? Well,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: anything attached to the amazing Tyler Perry is a gift
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to you know, the culture, to mainstream, to everything. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was given an opportunity to go on a real press
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: tour and promote a movie that I was, you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: passionate about and so honored to be a part of.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got to work with Crystal Fox so
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that she were shot the Sicily Tyson, you know, May
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: She Rest in Peace was one of her last you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: know it gigs, you know, and I cherished those memories
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and that that amazing moment to be on set with
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: her and so and to do press tours with her
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and get to know her and all of them. You know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: so more than anything, you know, the following and people
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: really just loving the movie. I cherish the opportunity to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: sit with queens and kings, you know, and cherished that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: time to just be a fly on the wall with
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: all of these grades and to be looked at and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to be ushered into greatness. Um, very just grateful for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that full opportunity, in that full circle moment to grow
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: up looking and you know, watching the plays on TV
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: on Sunday and then to be starring and one was
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: just incredible. So like everything that comes out of that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: is just icing on the cake, right. We know, I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: have to be complimentary of you because you're such a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: natural and uh and it's a joy for me to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: be able to finally just put your spotlight on you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because that was an ensemble interview that I had. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: got one of two questions in with you. When I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: look at the body of work, you know, there are
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: very few actors or actresses are that are doing what
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you're doing. I'm talking about voice over, you know, we're
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: talking about drama. We're talking about comma comedy now stand
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: up comedy, not only just sitcom or comedy related productions. Now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: let's talk to before I get to the to the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Run the World. How did that come about? And Uh,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: what's your character? I'm in the world, Oh, Renee Renee Ross. Uh,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: amazing series created by Lee Davenport executive produced in our
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: showrunner Yvette Lee Bowser from Living Single and so many
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: amazing great television that she's been a part of it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and has created. You know, they came together and created
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: this amazing woman forward TV show. Uh. You know, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: would always be able to watch Sex in the City
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and see, you know, see myself and ask aspire to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: be like those women, to live sexy and independently and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: fearlessly in New York and never really seeing a black
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: woman do that and not apologize for being a strong woman.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And uh that you know that she had fashion since
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all those things. It was very aspirational. So that's what
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: gravitated me towards the characters that you know, even though
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Renee Ross is married and going through her divorce, she's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: still fabulous and she doesn't apologize for who she is.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: You know, all the things that she is even if
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: people don't get it. You know, she's successful. Uh, she
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: stands up for herself. Um, she's kind of she's a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: loose cannon. She's a lot like myself. You know, she's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a tourist. You know. So I've never read something off
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the page that just identified with me being a strong
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: black woman, but also not leading with strong, also showing
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that I'm soft and also showing that I'm beautiful and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: sexy and I'm fearless, but I still need to be
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: held and I have great friends that hold you up.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Like all the things that I have with my girlfriends
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: was reflecting into this series. So it's just four best
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: friends that are navigating their life through New York, um,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: not apologizing for who they are and where they come from,
• 13:53

• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to money making Conversations as I continue my conversation with
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the Star of Life Times and Merry Little Christmas Baby, Rischia. Well,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you know, the interesting thing about it is that I've
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: been fortunate to see I started writing sitcoms in ninety
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: two on ABC and and just seeing characters they were
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: just written for comedy, but just wasn't written from a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: realistic standpoint. And and fortunately I've survived that whole reality
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: with black women were just throwing bottles each other and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: cursing and fighting. That was just the image of that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And then the Ray came out with Insecure, which allowed
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: us for the first time to see two black females
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: stories being told and then I see run the World.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: It must be good as a black actress to be
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: able to have content now that feels real, that feels relevant,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: but also feels like that like that. I mean, there
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was Girlfriends, there were other shows that paved the way
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: for us to do what we're doing living single like
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: you know, this is just a single camera way of
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: showing life being you know, lived, and that we're so
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: relatable other cultures, like we're just trying to get through life,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and deal with all of the things that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: come with it. You know, we're living successfully in Harlem,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you know. And what does that mean? And how does
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: that look? What looks now is what's happening in a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: lifetime in the series that you have done. Mary Little
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Films on Lifetime, Mary Little Babies a very Christmas movie.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I I know Kelly Rowland looked very well from Houston,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Texas when when she was doing with Disney Child and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: just seeing that character developed out always I'm gonna tell you,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'm a big Christmas love I guess I get. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: love Christmas movie. I can't get enough of it. Love
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: this movie. You should watch all three of them. I'm
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: gonna just tell you this. I love this movie. I'm
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: just going I really you know, you know that all
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: y'all look great, the children look fantastic, that lovable um there.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: There's just certain moments of cuteness that just makes me smile.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You know, the you know, the whole relationship that you
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: have and your son, and the young man who plays
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: your son. I believe in him so much that he
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: really is your son. And so when you have an
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: unsemble cast, it's all about chemistry. So talk about that chemistry.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And you know who the guy who played your father
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: who could actually play basketball? I mean you could actually
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: hoo could? I would like this guy can play real Chris.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I know he's in basketball, like his daughter's basketball. Like
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: he can like he goes to tournaments and all kinds
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of for real, he could hoop. I was like, okay,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I lost a couple of that. That is what they do. Okay,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: pretty bad could actually loot and then uh but but
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: when you have an ensemble that makes me smile and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: just seeing you know, just black people looking good on
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: TV and looking successful and having great storylines please right right,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And that's all I was just saying about I want
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: more of that. You know what, when I talk about
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the researchers are insecure and I see or run the world,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I'm talking, I always want more. I want I want
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: shot to rhyme just the owner the world. I won't
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: even doing the just to run the world because I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: have six sisters, you know, and I grew up in
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a family of strong black women, and when I all
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: my life, half my life, I saw their stories not
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: being told correctly. When I see stories that you know
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that that are being put out there by black women,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: directed by black women, produced by black women, written by
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: black women, that's powerful. Not just saying that that that
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it has to be done that way, but at least
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: give it a shot. And so I see this series
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: being put out there and you're part of it. Talk
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: about the chemistry and what makes this series so special,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: which right now is very little baby, what would be
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: premier in this month which is no where absolutely Well, First,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: before I talk about I have to talk about the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: amazing Kelly Rowland. A lot of people don't know how
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: much she is influenced in this project. She's the producer,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you know, she's starring in it, She's doing everything she's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: wearing all the hats, she's in costume and she's everywhere.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Um and so much of that makes the chemistry of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: where we were, where we started, and how we come
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to set to make sure and we do this in Vancouver, Canada,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: um or there's not a lot of black people. Wait
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Tonto to get the black people when you send them
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to Vancouver if need be, but they have a few
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and we've you know, and it's been great. We've created
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: our own family because this is our third installment and uh,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Kelly has really set the bar of how we how
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we are with each other. She created that family, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that family dynamic from day one. It was great chemistry.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: The casting that she did was all just love, you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and she put so much of our heart in it,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: which makes us put so much of our heart in it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: You know. Um, we have Debbie Morrigan, you know, we
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: have you know, these incredible people that have lend their
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: talent and gifts to this film. And you know, she's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: made sure that there's people of color, mainly people of
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: color behind the scenes, always made sure that there has
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: been a female director you know, um, women of color
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: who are producing you know, like it's very important to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Kelly if she's going to be a part of it,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: that it it changes people's opinion about how black productions
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: are run. Well. I think that when you know, being
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a guy who's seen it and been knowing Kelly from
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Big Cally like years old. When I brought on stage
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is early years, I was thinking one of the first
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: people who brought on stage as along with Beyonce and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: UH introduced him to the world as performing acts. And
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I remember several years ago I pitched her along with
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: NBC sitcom starring her, so I know her talents, fair work.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I have always been just watching her, I go, I've
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: always so much more. You know that she's going to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: bring to the table because the nuances of acting just
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: so special. And it feels like you guys are really
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: sisters in this series. It feels like I feel the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the aints you know, of the relationship issues that you
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: have of being a sister, trying to do good for
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a sister, trying to still be your mom to your son,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: as well as trying to engage in another relationship and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: move forward. All those are natural paths that that can
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: only be done if you're comfortable with that material one
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and then also feelized that this is something that you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: want to put out there with the general public, tell
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: everybody about your character. Let's break that down a little
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: bit right quick. Okay, Well, Kira a Little is um
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the younger sister, and she takes all fine. By the way,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: all I'm fine, by the way they find they find
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: got out to my baby sister. Right, No, she's younger
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: than me, but you know, but like all the sisters,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: but you know, we we really love each other. Disaster,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: by the way she supposed she didn't do something she
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: was supposed to do for the little that's the thing,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and all of the merry littles. You see, Kira just
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: train right, you know, the last the last one for
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the wedding. She threw up the wedding, she burned the dress.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: You just cannot get it together. She had one role, right,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: get that one done. And this one was hard because
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I identified with her. I was like, yo, she's just
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: trying to get this done and everything is against her
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and she had to depend on like everybody just comes
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and saves the day again and she's just like yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and so I mean care a little is
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: like that little sister you love to hate, but you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: can't hate because you can't hate because you're trying so hard.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: You're trying so hard to do right, to do right.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I wanted her to try a little hard, but really
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: try hard hard. But you know that the thing I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: like about you is that you're trying hard as a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: as a ball, trying hard in a relationship that you
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: want to last. And then this serious relationship will go further.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I won't give away any lass and we can't do that,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you know, because they won't let me any of you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: anymore if I blow it. But the beauty of it
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is that you make me smile, Breacha Webb, you know.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And I think that is important that I tell you that,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: because I get to see a lot I've been fortunate
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in my life. I got this. I've seen a lot
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: of you know, people who matured, and there's always another
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: wave of talent that problems. And you own that wave,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and you're on that next passage and your own excuse me,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you already on it. You know you're just about to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: ascend it to another opportunity because you can do all
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of you varsover you and that a lot of people
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: understand how hard it is for a black person to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: break in the voice over, let it alone, do it,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and you're doing it successfully. A lot of people don't
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: understand when I look at your resume. You know, like
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I said, believe me, the shows I mentioned are only
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: part of it. We would get tired if I just
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: start going down the list of it. And I only
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: say that in a complimentary manner. You will get tired
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: because you want to resume like that. But in this series,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Married Little Baby, which is own Lifetimes Lifetime series novem
• 25:56

• 25:58
  Speaker 1: movie you have to watch. If you have to say
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: anything about your character, anything about the family that I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: love to death, Why would you tell people to watch
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: this other than the fact that you're starting and it
• 26:08

  Speaker 1: I love the death Raphy. Please work with the money
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: making conversation. I've been knowing it for a long time.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: This first time I get to talk to him in person.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Mona Scott y'all, welcome to my show. Mona, Hello, Hello,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: are you? First of all you spectacular? I mean, just
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: let you know that I've been a fan, and you
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: know I've been around some people, Mona, but you special girl.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: How where does it come saying that? Thank you so much? Well?
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: You know, we we we we we we missed it
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: several times on press junk my time wouldn't let me go.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: When I was managing Steve Harvey, I believe you've been
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: done set up some interviews when he was when I
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: was over that managing him on the CT Harvy Morning Show.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: But all along the process of developing your brand, Uh
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: what what? What has pushed you? What is driving you
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: to the success you know, it's so funny. It's so
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: much of what you said at that at the top
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of the show, the things that you say setting up
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the show resonated for me because one of the biggest
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: things that drives me is stepping into my gift. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: talk about it all the time. Right, It's almost like
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: you have a responsibility when you've been given certain skills
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to live up to that potential. A lot of us don't,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of us coast, a lot of us just
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: take it for granted. But I do feel a responsibility,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: whether it's because of you know, watching my mom who
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: didn't have much accomplished what she was able to accomplish,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: knowing that I have so much more that has been
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: given to me that I've been blessed with. It's a
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: sense of I need to operate and deliver at my
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: fullest potential at all times. So I never know what
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: that's gonna mean, how that's gonna translate, what that's going
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to result in, but I know that whatever it is,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I better show up and show out. Well you do,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and that's that's the beauty of of you know. And
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: like I said, I've had an interesting career a sitcom writer,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you know, a producer, executive. Been fortunate with me some
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Emmies and Image Awards, all these things, you know, I
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: know what important to me, and sometimes I trivialize them
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: because you know, you're on the grind all the time.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. You just want to
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: get that next, especially when you're in African American. You know,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you know that there's no guarantees, you know, because their relationship.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You gotta keep moving, keep it moving. But you know
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: what I've been thinking about a lot, Risaan lately, just
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the need to sit still for a minute and to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: appreciate who you are right now in the moment. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it's not about I mean complacent. It's about taking stock
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and showing yourself appreciation right for what you published, and
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: then using that to propel you to the next stage.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of times, like you said, we'll go, go, go, go, go,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that we don't stop to really recognize where we've come from,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: where we are in the moment, and how we can
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: take all of that experience knowledge, know how you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and and use it as we move forward. You know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I just I love hearing that from your mona because
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: of the fact that you know I bought a building
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta and so and for the first time, you know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I've been on I've been on you know, leaching in
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: various spaces. I've been on production lots and all that
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Hollywood have in New York. So it's always you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: at the end of that production deal, I had to
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: pick up my my trophies or my paintings and think
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: about the wall. And so this was the first time
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I olaus to put stuff I knew wasn't gonna leave.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And I really that's what That's what you're talking about,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you know, stopping and seeing and I and I and
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I and my wife said, you love going off I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: look because I really get to see my life being
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: played out and show and your life plays out on
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: a daily basis on TV, your rewards. And that's really
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: interesting because I know that when I have people tell
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: me about Rashan because I've I wrote, you know, such
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a Sister, the Boo Nigue to Jamie Fox and all this,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and people go, I see those shows on Netflix all
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the time. That makes me feel good. How do you
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: feel when people talk about your work to you or
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: you just hear people or the reactions on your the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: ratings and the social media reaction. How does that make
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you feel, Mona. You know, it's funny because it goes
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: back to that stopping to take stock and to show
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: self appreciation. But I'd like to think that my accomplishments
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: are reflected in the work that I do. Right, Like yesterday,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the amazing honor of standing on that stage, you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: on Hollywood Boulevard and and being part of Missy's induction
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: ceremony as she was given her star on the Hollywood
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Walk of Fame, And in that moment, it just all
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: came flooding back that very first time I poked my
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: head into the backseat of that limo when I faced
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: me her when he's something plus years ago, and she said, oh,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't need a manager. I'm not looking
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: for a manager. And to fast forward and think that,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I've had the ability to impact her life
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in a way that has maybe in some portion, way,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: shape or form, right impacted what she has delivered to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the world and the people that that has touched. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: it's the whole idea that mike contribution to her life
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: has impacted, you know, millions of people globally that I
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: will never lay eyes on, never even see that. For
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: me is the gratification, that is the accomplishment that that
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I think about when I think about what my life
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: has been. Of course, my children and seeing you know,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: what they are accomplishing now in their lives and what
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be God knows what. But I'd like to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: think that when I see my daughter putting her foot
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: down or you know, pushing back on something, or when
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I see my son going hard and making sure that
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: he's you know, delivering on his own expectations for himself,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I see a reflection of me and what I've contributed
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to their lives. So for me, that's the biggest, right,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the biggest uh accolade, I guess, if I had to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: find the right word, it's seeing how the impact that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I've had on others and on their lives um has
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: come you know, full circle when it's out there now
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: for the world's experience. We know the beauty of why
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the thing. You know, we started with the
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: word talent manager, and so she knows this for a fact.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: A lot of times she was missing you know, Steve Harvey, uh,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Steven A. Smith and other people. I've been fortunate to
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: say they put, you know, trust in my direction and
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: so but sometimes you can be limited by what people
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: think of you as to manage you or that's her,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: that's her girl, or that's her boy, you know, and
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: they don't realize that you can do more. That's why
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: it's important for me to say the words executive producer
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: when I say Mona Scott y'all. That's why it's important
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: for me. You said published Arthur when I say Monuscott Young.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: That's why it's important for me to say CEO and
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: found up moaning me Entertainment and Mona Me Productions. That's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: why it's important for me to say, you know, love
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: and hip hop because she's more than what you expect
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: and what she's been, and she's fought through what I've
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: talked about. She's leading with her gifts and showing you
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: she's more than what you think and in some ways
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: she's seeing some of her all expectations. And that's the
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: beauty of being you correct and listen the ability now
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to hopefully right have the impact that I've had listen
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: with a completely different audience right this show, it's in Spanguish,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: it's around a Latin superstar who has millions and millions
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: of fans and followers and people who adore her globally.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: So here was an opportunity for me to tell her
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: story and to do it on a massive platform like
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. Those are major accomplishments and strides for not
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: only my company, but for me as a producer as well.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: So it's constantly about growth and this show is, you know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: a one more growth experience in my career. And I
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: think people are going to see a completely different kind
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: of programming that um, I think they will respond well to.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: There's something joyful about the show, their lives, everything that
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: they're sharing about their lives, and it's a story of
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: women empowerment and the stories of a struggle of an
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: artist making it against all odds, and that's some thing
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I personally can relate to. We'll be right back with

• 42:13
  Speaker 1: money making Conversations. As I can trague my conversations with
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: award winning multimedia Maverick talent manager, executive producer and author
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Mona's Got Young. I've been fortunate, uh too, but I've
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: seen the series. Okay, and I'm from Houston, Texas. Okay,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: so from text Max and from Selina Country. Okay, and
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and that's a company. When I say this, because I
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: have not seen the artists that i've I've loved as
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: much as I loved what she's trying to do as
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a woman empowered herself making decisions. And also the show
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: is like in Spanglish in other words, you know, they'll
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: be talking Spanish and all of a sudden you see
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: subtitles come up there and you're very comfortable. I'm very comfortable.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like I was slide between spanglers in the in
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the in the subtitles and was flawing with your shore.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Now, I'm going like, come on, girl,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Me and you ain't never met, but I was proud
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of you. Said this is smooth right there because of
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: the fact that I you you. This is what this
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: is important to where I get excited when I see
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: new program and it's death beyond the norm. And also
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: it's not stereotypical. Here's a young lady. Her name is
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Noddy Natasha. She's from the Dominican Republic. She came over
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: here first hitting twenty twelve. Okay, went nowhere, struggling no
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: place to stay, then rapid came into life in somebody,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: and that's why in this world, you always gotta have
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: somebody who believes in you, even as you don't. Like
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: she said, she saw, she saw you know, like I said,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I saw Steve Harvey before he did death Comedy. Jam. Okay,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: you know she saw Mitchi. Mitchi said, I don't need you,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: but she saw, she saw, it said, hanging out with me.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I see a little bit more. Now in this you
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: get the major global superstar and she's trusting you because
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: she wants to cross over. Tell us about that story, mom. Yeah,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: it was interesting because they were so clear about, you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: what they represent in the Latin market and wanting the
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: world to understand that she has dreams and she wants
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: to grow and she wants to be bigger. But it
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't about leaving her audience behind and all of a
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: sudden wanting to be this you know u s artist.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: It was more about how do I continue to grow
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and bring my music to a bigger audience, bring my
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you know, Latin culture to a bigger audience. Make sure
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: that everyone in all parts of the world understand the
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: beauty of who I am, what my story is. You know,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: She's very proud about being you know, a first uh
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: generation immigrant and everything that she had to go through
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: to get to where she was. And it was about
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: bringing that story, that Latin immigrant story to a broader
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: audience and to bring into the world. And you know,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: for me again always excited about breaking new barriers and
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and thank you so much for acknowledging that. You know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: this was an opportunity for me, who has you know,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: been doing content firmly in you know, the African American space,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: been in hip hop for a very long time, to
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: move into Latin music, to move into a global Latin audience,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: to tell the story of a Latin you know, superstar
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: on the rise. But what I love about that is
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: full of the elements of that story, the struggle, the love,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the triumphs, the adversities. Those are universal themes that language.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there are no barriers to that. And I
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: hope that when people watch it, what they take away
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: from it is the story, the experiences, that the joy
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: of watching someone who is so open and vulnerable just
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: succeed at what they've set out to do. Well, you know,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: the thing that this is the thing that I enjoy,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: you know, because we all know there's been a journey
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: with what reality shows and raality shows me all about
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: content drip, and this is a content driven reality show,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: which means that she's taking the elements of their life
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: and sharing it, but moving into a creative format where
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: is entertaining. So she's not creating contrived moments. That's important
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: to know about this. What's what's secondly important to know
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: about this is that Naughty and Ralphie don't want to
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: lose their Spanish base. They said, look, we want to
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: cross over, but we cannot cross over. And the reason
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I said that's important because that's where the spankless Spanglish
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: comes in, because if they did the show entirely English,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: that means they would have sold long to their base.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: And so they're talking English and being there they're just
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: started right there talk start talking Spanish right in the
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: middle of English, and and you know, of a sudden,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: the subtitles are dropped right Underneathan and then all of
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: a sudden they started, imagine my life be in the
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: midst of that producing that for money, I would be yes,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Spanish English and right you know, so I had a
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: chance to perspect to perfect my Spanish as well. So
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: that was about my God and I prother perspective for it.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying to everybody, is that is that
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: this is an adventure, and lifestyle is an adventure, and
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: uh enjoying another culture, it's also an adventure to let
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: you know how other cultures are simulate into America, how
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: they still communicate, how they can slide between the two
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: cultures from an English and a Spanish perspective, and it
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: all feels very natural. Because when I say that, is
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: that you know that what what? What? What? Always gets
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: to me With Mona shows you know she would get
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: people in bed even they'd be talking like that at
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: at the dinner table. I've yet to figure out how
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: she's crafted that skilled I'm talking about don't defunct bad talking.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: They just talking like little dog running around in bed
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. They'd be just talking normal. I'm
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Mona, how did you figure out
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: that skilled? Where did you get that skilled to get
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: people be talking like and at the dinner table. I
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: credit my years of being a man manager of my
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: ability get talented comfortable. When you got the camera's it
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: falls away. But I will say that was one of
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: the first sheet scenes we ever shot with them. So
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: to their credit, they were just like I said, all
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I need you guys to do is be yourself. Whatever
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: you do, allow us to be here with just flying
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: the wall, and they you know, we're comfortable immediately. But

  Speaker 1: my pillow dog. You have your most intimate discussions, think

• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the day, in your pajamas, and you guys are just

  Speaker 1: talking about the day, life, the future. So that's for me,

  Speaker 1: their life conversations. Well, you know, because we're not the

  Speaker 1: out where. He's an ordinary looking guy. He met her
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: when he was chubby, like he said, now now he's
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: killing it. He's killing it now, you know. And and

• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to survive. And this is what this is, like you
