2:34
Speaker 1: lived in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. Now, where do

2:49
Speaker 1: I'm not there right now. I actually just got back. Um.

2:55
Speaker 1: now we staid we weren't going you blew it already
2:58
Speaker 1: I said this interview, we weren't going to say nothing

Speaker 1: about that quarterback bar in friend of you, but at
3:03
Speaker 1: your mouth. I always come back for the game. What
3:05
Speaker 1: are you gonna do it like that? Just about you?
3:07
Speaker 1: I'm letting you know the only reason why my dad
3:10
Speaker 1: keeps tapping up in the background is because I had
3:11
Speaker 1: business to handle with my book today. So I'm at
3:13
Speaker 1: my parents house right now. So it's a whole life,
3:16
Speaker 1: a whole life. So I'm explaining to you why I'm
3:19
Speaker 1: not currently in Glendale, California. Okay, Now, it's been a
3:23
Speaker 1: big shutdown. You know, the COVID hit everybody, and uh
3:26
Speaker 1: and so how did that? How has that affected you?
3:28
Speaker 1: Because you know, the social media YouTube describers, you are
3:33
Speaker 1: obviously a lot a lot of live productions you're participating in,
3:37
Speaker 1: but they all went away? How did that impact you?
3:39
Speaker 1: You know? But the grist of God, I think, um,
3:41
Speaker 1: it kind of motivated me. I don't think it impacted me, um,
3:45
Speaker 1: you know, as much as it did impact some people.
3:47
Speaker 1: But of course some projects were put on a little
3:50
Speaker 1: bit more of a slow or backburner, but it it
3:54
Speaker 1: gave room for other projects to grow and expand. So honestly,
3:58
Speaker 1: in the midst of it, COVID was using in disguise
4:00
Speaker 1: for me. I got to spend a lot more undivided
4:04
Speaker 1: time with my family and my loved ones, and I
4:07
Speaker 1: became an author. During treated me pretty well and that's
4:11
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I couldn't say the same thing
4:13
Speaker 1: when it when it hit in March. I'm just telling you, Jilly,
4:16
Speaker 1: and I didn't know how to react to it. You know,
4:19
Speaker 1: they're talking about because nobody knew about COVID ninteen and
4:22
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody still knows about it. The fact
4:24
Speaker 1: that they have a vaccine comming, we're all happy about that.
4:28
Speaker 1: I got wrong with the home depot the first time
4:29
Speaker 1: I went out. I had my gloves, I had my
4:31
Speaker 1: peril I didn't even have a mask at the time.
4:34
Speaker 1: I had like a ski mask, I kind of like
4:35
Speaker 1: pool and so I came out of Home Deepot. I
4:39
Speaker 1: didn't know if I should touch the door. I didn't
4:41
Speaker 1: know when to put the hands out. It was really
4:43
Speaker 1: was a confusing time for me. How did you How
4:45
Speaker 1: did it play out for you? Are Are you comfortable
4:47
Speaker 1: now that you've develop a line of how you can
4:50
Speaker 1: participate in everyday life? How did that lay out for you, Jilly?
4:53
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always been kind of like a germaphobe
4:56
Speaker 1: and a grum freak, so that kind of really only enhanced.
5:00
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, you have
5:01
Speaker 1: to you can't just be afraid of life. You can't
5:03
Speaker 1: be afraid of living, you know. I know at one
5:05
Speaker 1: point traveling was really really scary, you know, going on
5:08
Speaker 1: planes and especially being in a tube where you can't
5:11
Speaker 1: just let the window down or anything. But I mean,
5:13
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you can't just be
5:14
Speaker 1: you know, scared. You can't let COVID completely just stop you.
5:17
Speaker 1: You just can't. But I mean, don't get me wrong,
5:19
Speaker 1: my precautions are on a whole another level. I am
5:22
Speaker 1: definitely I have probably with forehand sanitizers in my purse
5:25
Speaker 1: right now, I have, I carry my mask. I have
5:28
Speaker 1: two masks in my purse, two in the car. You
5:31
Speaker 1: won't catch me like without it. You know, that's just
5:33
Speaker 1: first and foremost really because I just I went to
5:37
Speaker 1: l A a week ago, my first time officially flying
5:41
Speaker 1: since the COVID COVID Oh yeah, and so you know,
5:44
Speaker 1: you know, so, so I got on the plane. You know,
5:46
Speaker 1: I have a man I like, I like like four
5:48
Speaker 1: disposable masks. I had a mask when I went through
5:52
Speaker 1: you know, T s A. Then I had a mask
5:54
Speaker 1: I used on the plane through those away when I
5:56
Speaker 1: landed right and then I had my other disposable man
6:00
Speaker 1: with that bad ball out. So I went around the
6:01
Speaker 1: l A all day. I was in and out in
6:03
Speaker 1: l A. And then I got back on the plane,
6:05
Speaker 1: put my travel mask on through that bad boy away
6:08
Speaker 1: because I like, say just sorry, you know, and I
6:11
Speaker 1: will tell you this is that I was very comfortable
6:13
Speaker 1: with just telling everybody to know there's a big crisis
6:15
Speaker 1: right now, telling people not to travel, not to travel,
6:17
Speaker 1: not to travel. But I do believe, and I have
6:20
Speaker 1: to say this that we have to learn to live
6:22
Speaker 1: with this crisis and we can't shut down our life,
6:25
Speaker 1: you know. Of course, being precaution, like even when I
6:27
Speaker 1: am on the plane, I for sure I take a
6:29
Speaker 1: few of my wifes, my sanitizer wives. I wipe down
6:32
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. I wipe down the armrests, a little
6:35
Speaker 1: button to recline the thing. I wipe down the front
6:38
Speaker 1: just in case somebody had like sneeze on the TV
6:40
Speaker 1: or whatever. I wipe that down. I wipe down a
6:42
Speaker 1: little window sides where you pull it up and down.
6:43
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. So I'm definitely, like I said, precaution
6:46
Speaker 1: is a little bit more there. But I'm not like
6:50
Speaker 1: there's just different thing about you, Jilly. You come you
6:52
Speaker 1: have a sense of person of personality a sitcoms in
6:56
Speaker 1: your future because I see the word active see drums,
6:58
Speaker 1: because you're funning. Now you you have a you have
7:00
Speaker 1: a sister person. You have a personality that that that
7:02
Speaker 1: pops off the screen because okay and hard hit him
7:06
Speaker 1: up for me Now, I'm just kidding because you have
7:08
Speaker 1: an edge, which which is a good age because when
7:11
Speaker 1: you're talking you can be serious when they come across
7:14
Speaker 1: as humorous. Because when we're talking about wife out if
7:16
Speaker 1: they're the button side button, the look, the look TV
7:19
Speaker 1: in front of you and all that to what is
7:21
Speaker 1: the acting? What is the acting plan for you? You know,
7:24
Speaker 1: um and acting? I think right now, especially with COVID,
7:28
Speaker 1: a lot of things kind of not only got pushed back,
7:31
Speaker 1: but you have to realize with acting it's a lot
7:32
Speaker 1: of physical contact. It's a lot of you know, like
7:35
Speaker 1: in your face. And that's one thing that prior to
7:38
Speaker 1: all of this, I was really comfortable with if I
7:40
Speaker 1: had to do like a scene of any sort of
7:43
Speaker 1: play that boyfriend girlfriend role I was very comfortable with.
7:45
Speaker 1: Now I'm not so sure. So like you know, my
7:48
Speaker 1: music pushing that, this cook pushing that I don't know
7:52
Speaker 1: if I want to be love you dov in the
7:53
Speaker 1: scene right now with somebody, because I don't know who's
7:56
Speaker 1: going on. That's right there, funny, see right there, you

8:45
Speaker 1: book cause you got the look book part time. There
8:47
Speaker 1: ain't nobody gonna argue about that the look book you got.
8:51
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the cookbook side. Talk to me now, Jilly,
8:55
Speaker 1: you'm a girl, so with the cookbook. I mean, cook
8:59
Speaker 1: is really just always been in my family. I am
9:02
Speaker 1: of Creole descent. My all my families from Louisiana. My brother,
9:08
Speaker 1: me and my mom are the only ones who are
9:10
Speaker 1: actually originally from Houston born raise. But um, I mean
9:14
Speaker 1: it's always been my family growing up. For the holidays,
9:17
Speaker 1: we had more food than people. We literally had tripled
9:20
Speaker 1: the amount of food. My grandmother was always in the
9:23
Speaker 1: kitchen as well as my mom. Even with my dad,
9:25
Speaker 1: my dad has his fair share, but he's really a baker.
9:28
Speaker 1: My dad is a fire baker. But he's even got
9:30
Speaker 1: into really like you, like you, um, but he's got
9:34
Speaker 1: into like his oxtails and you know, just making different stuff.
9:37
Speaker 1: And so I just grew up in a family of
9:39
Speaker 1: chefs and you know, really home chefs, and um. Over quarantine,
9:46
Speaker 1: I would cook a lot, like cook a lot and quarantine,
9:51
Speaker 1: I did I gained I've lost. I actually did not
9:54
Speaker 1: gain away in quarantine. No, I think too is just like,
10:00
Speaker 1: of course a mixture of working out and then I
10:02
Speaker 1: even though like these meals. I think it's all in
10:05
Speaker 1: proportion of what you eat as well. So I can
10:08
Speaker 1: eat all this stuff. But granted I'm not eating like
10:11
Speaker 1: three refilled plates, you know, but I mean at the
10:15
Speaker 1: beginning of quite exactly, I'm not. But at the beginning
10:18
Speaker 1: of quarantine, Um, I just started cooking and like playing
10:21
Speaker 1: with food. I would make boot and stuff chicken, I
10:23
Speaker 1: would make um, shrimp, ravioli, just stuff that was just stuff. Right, Boot,
10:30
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me mad either. You're gonna get me
10:32
Speaker 1: mad because I can't get near you, Okay because boot,
10:35
Speaker 1: you just can't throw out the word boot. And see,
10:39
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is people don't even know what booty
10:41
Speaker 1: and is. People don't know about gumbo, and people don't
10:44
Speaker 1: know about this stuff. So it's really amazing to, like,
10:46
Speaker 1: you know, bring people into my culture, my heritage. So
10:51
Speaker 1: let's talk about the boot and now the boot and
10:53
Speaker 1: now I do I do dirty rice? Okay, I know
10:56
Speaker 1: about boot. And let's say, you know, I'm from the
10:58
Speaker 1: country a little bit of my parents. You do kill Hall,
11:01
Speaker 1: bring a hog home at Hall when it was black
11:08
Speaker 1: people go around the whole really should just start crying
11:11
Speaker 1: because everything is edible, everything is edible around the hall.
11:14
Speaker 1: So talk about you putting together this booting. What is
11:18
Speaker 1: the process? You know? Okay, So for my boot and
11:21
Speaker 1: stuffed chicken. The crazy thing is, I only get forty
11:23
Speaker 1: five recipes in here. So even a lot of the
11:25
Speaker 1: recipes now are gonna be in Cookbook number two. But
11:30
Speaker 1: even with the booty, and it's just like I you
11:32
Speaker 1: know how it's like in the little paper rice. I
11:34
Speaker 1: slice it open, I take the rice part out, mush
11:36
Speaker 1: it all up, um in my chicken. After I season
11:39
Speaker 1: and I put the dirty rice inside the chicken and
11:42
Speaker 1: I roll it up, put a toothpick in there, um,
11:44
Speaker 1: drizzle some garlic, butter or whatever I'm putting on top
11:47
Speaker 1: of it, put it in the oven for a good
11:48
Speaker 1: thirty so minutes. And I tell you, jelly, so you
11:53
Speaker 1: you add sophistication to the boot. Now you know that
11:57
Speaker 1: ain't no that ain't no country. They didn't count it. Well,
12:00
Speaker 1: I mean it's country mixed with my modern days. That's
12:05
Speaker 1: the beauty of your book. Now you're taking a little country,
12:09
Speaker 1: bringing it forward, because you know when you say boods,
12:12
Speaker 1: crackers and bud that standard black folks talking. Now you
12:16
Speaker 1: and the garlic butters drisuled right there, she said, sliding
12:20
Speaker 1: in the other. Scam me, girl, scam me, now you
12:23
Speaker 1: scare me over here. Now, No, it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal. Absolutely.
12:27
Speaker 1: So you say this is cookbook one and that cookbook too.
12:31
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about your social media, which is phenomenal,
12:33
Speaker 1: you know, And I always tell people about social media
12:36
Speaker 1: is interesting because you know, people follow you because they
12:39
Speaker 1: either want to be like you, or you emotionally give
12:43
Speaker 1: something to them that they feel they will miss, or
12:45
Speaker 1: you provide information. Why do you think you have such
12:48
Speaker 1: a strong social media fan base? I mean, I just
12:51
Speaker 1: think me my personality. I think people fell in love
12:53
Speaker 1: with who Jilly is. I feel like people fell in
12:55
Speaker 1: love with who jilling In is as well. Um, you know,
12:58
Speaker 1: just throughout social media showed a lot of my personality.
13:01
Speaker 1: I've let people into my life, um a little at
13:05
Speaker 1: times it was like a little bit personal as well,
13:07
Speaker 1: which is why I feel like my fan base connected
13:09
Speaker 1: to me so well. They have experienced, you know, journeys
13:11
Speaker 1: with me. They have gone through some ups and downs.
13:13
Speaker 1: They have gone through a little bit of backing away
13:16
Speaker 1: from Instagram and noticing that I hadn't posted in a while,
13:19
Speaker 1: or noticing my absence and you know, being concerned. And
13:22
Speaker 1: so I think that's when like you have an extreme
13:24
Speaker 1: fan base, it's just so awesome that you know, people
13:28
Speaker 1: relate to it. People um got connected with me, you know,
13:31
Speaker 1: and it's been a few years now, but at the
13:34
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's just like so strong till
13:36
Speaker 1: this day. I mean it never you never really realized
13:39
Speaker 1: how much people support you until it comes to things
13:42
Speaker 1: like items you're selling. And with my cookbook, it was
13:44
Speaker 1: just so amazing because when I tell you the the
13:47
Speaker 1: outpour of love and then just to actually see it
13:50
Speaker 1: in sales was just like so just honestly mind blowing.
13:55
Speaker 1: It was really really mind blowing. And I don't want
13:56
Speaker 1: to say like I was shocked, but sometimes you are shocked.
13:59
Speaker 1: You're shocked people actually put in their credit card information
14:02
Speaker 1: to support you, you know. So I think it was
14:04
Speaker 1: just such a blessing. And that was one of my
14:06
Speaker 1: most recent realizing moments of how my fan base, my
14:10
Speaker 1: social media, how impactful it is, you know to my
14:14
Speaker 1: actual life. Well, that's that's that's really interesting because of
14:17
Speaker 1: the fact that you opted to do you know, digital
14:21
Speaker 1: that format versus going to a book company like a
14:25
Speaker 1: Harper Collins or Simon Schuster. Now is it any reason
14:29
Speaker 1: for that? Because you have the brand to be able
14:31
Speaker 1: to do that. You got the social media followers, you
14:32
Speaker 1: got the YouTube followers. So I'm sure any any major
14:37
Speaker 1: book company would want to publish your book any reason.
14:41
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know, I wasn't opposed to it,
14:43
Speaker 1: but I think I just wanted to do self publishing because,
14:47
Speaker 1: you know, I think most people pay to have a
14:49
Speaker 1: brand like I do. Most people pay to have like
14:51
Speaker 1: an outreach or outlet like I do. So I think
14:55
Speaker 1: you know, for me, it's finally here the season of celebration.
14:59
Speaker 1: And no matter how you celebrate with family and friends,
15:02
Speaker 1: whether you're preparing for Reis Magos or Karamu lighting the Manura,
15:06
Speaker 1: are going to midnight mass, Coals has just what you
15:09
Speaker 1: need to make those traditions special. Plus you'll find gifts
15:13
Speaker 1: for all your loved ones. Send warm wishes with cozy fleeces, sweaters, loungeware,
15:18
Speaker 1: blankets and throws. Support minority owned or founded brands by
15:22
Speaker 1: giving gifts from Human Nation and Shame Moisture, or treat
15:26

17:05
Speaker 1: only in the making, but my book is what thirty
17:08
Speaker 1: dollars and then only make a dollar from it. I
17:09
Speaker 1: just I didn't want to do that. I wanted to
17:11
Speaker 1: receive all my profit. I wanted to you know, really,
17:14
Speaker 1: I wanted this first book to be my baby. I
17:17
Speaker 1: want to book companies and everyone, just to really see
17:20
Speaker 1: what I can do on my own. So you know,
17:22
Speaker 1: when Cookbook Slash Lookbook number two comes out, I'm gonna
17:25
Speaker 1: need that advance like way bigger. There you go. See
17:29
Speaker 1: A First of all, I love talking to you, you know,
17:31
Speaker 1: because I always tell people when when young people figured out,
17:35
Speaker 1: you know, and you figured it out, this is your brand,
17:36
Speaker 1: you building it, You are your CEO, your company, What
17:39
Speaker 1: is your company? And you are an entrepreneur, and so
17:42
Speaker 1: that's what excites me about talking to a person like you,
17:45
Speaker 1: who it's not about your looks, it's about your brains.
17:48
Speaker 1: It's driving your next step, your next financial opportunity, your
17:51
Speaker 1: next career move, talk about your company and talk about
17:53
Speaker 1: your brain. Absolutely, so everything is Jillianese. I think my
17:57
Speaker 1: own um finding a brand that suited me was so
18:01
Speaker 1: easy because it's me. It's literally so jillian Nie is
18:04
Speaker 1: my brand, Jilliannie is my company, and everything follows under that,
18:08
Speaker 1: and it just has several outlets. It's literally like a spiderweb.
18:10
Speaker 1: Jillianese is in the middle, and it's music, it's dancing,
18:13
Speaker 1: it's acting, it's cookbook, it's look book, it's fashion, its fitness,
18:17
Speaker 1: his family, it's like never ending. And I think that's
18:19
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing because it all coincides with Jillianie.
18:24
Speaker 1: It's literally who I am. It's who I am growing
18:28
Speaker 1: to be. So I think even when I did a
18:31
Speaker 1: project like this, I think my main focus was to
18:33
Speaker 1: let people know, you know, I'm not a person who
18:36
Speaker 1: is a chef who's gonna open up a restaurant next week,
18:39
Speaker 1: Like that's not my intent. My intent is literally every
18:42
Speaker 1: time I cook or post something on Instagram, people are like,
18:45
Speaker 1: oh my god, can you send this plate in the mail?
18:47
Speaker 1: Like what is this recipe? And you know, I take
18:49
Speaker 1: the feedback from people. People are like, well, how do
18:51
Speaker 1: you stay so fit? Well? I do work out, So
18:53
Speaker 1: here's me working out. Well, how do you also dance
18:55
Speaker 1: like this? Well? I mean I was a dancer for
18:58
Speaker 1: ten years of my life growing up, fifteen years in
19:00
Speaker 1: my life growing up. And it's just like everything coincides
19:03
Speaker 1: with my brand is literally who I am? When when
19:06
Speaker 1: you talk about that, because it's really interesting because having
19:09
Speaker 1: you on my show Money Making Conversation dot Com one
19:11
Speaker 1: of the reasons, because you know, there are a lot
19:13
Speaker 1: of people who want to be Jilly Okay, you know
19:16
Speaker 1: they're they're about your hide, They're they're they're attractive like you,
19:20
Speaker 1: they have hair and nice shape. But you've crossed the
19:26
Speaker 1: line of leaving your competitors behind and you have a
19:30
Speaker 1: plan for being successful in the future. What is the
19:33
Speaker 1: separating line? You know, because condations separate themselves and you're sertain.
19:37
Speaker 1: I'm just being very real with you. You are separating yourself.
19:40
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have a hit TV show on
19:42
Speaker 1: you don't have a hit single out there, but you
19:45
Speaker 1: are growing and you're very popular, and social media has
19:48
Speaker 1: made you a very viable media star because, like you said,
19:53
Speaker 1: you don't need to go on the radio to drop
19:54
Speaker 1: your book. You just dropped your book, and guess what,
19:57
Speaker 1: you start dropping credit cards. What is separating from your competition?
20:01
Speaker 1: I think just honestly never dwelling and staring away from
20:05
Speaker 1: God's plan. I'm a big, big believer in my faith,
20:08
Speaker 1: and I just know that no matter what, whatever God
20:10
Speaker 1: has planned for me, it's unstoppable. I didn't know I
20:12
Speaker 1: would be putting out a book. I didn't know. I
20:14
Speaker 1: didn't I couldn't tell you at the beginning of this
20:17
Speaker 1: year whe where this year would lead me. And you know,
20:19
Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of my faith. I
20:21
Speaker 1: I never grow weary. I never, you know, stop believing
20:24
Speaker 1: God's plan for me. And I think that's the ultimate thing.
20:26
Speaker 1: I'm My biggest competition is myself. I just want to
20:31
Speaker 1: do better than I did yesterday. I'm not trying to
20:33
Speaker 1: compete with anyone else. I don't even look at anybody
20:35
Speaker 1: else's direction. I am really big on congratulating my peers,
20:38
Speaker 1: supporting my peers, and I think you know as long
20:41
Speaker 1: as you are genuine, as long as you know, at
20:43
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you could look at yourself
20:44
Speaker 1: in the mirror and know that everything you're doing is
20:46
Speaker 1: genuine your plan, like your path is gonna come, your
20:49
Speaker 1: path is unstoppable. Well, you are definitely unstoppable. You're on
20:55
Speaker 1: your on your bio came, I just said the six
20:57
Speaker 1: els of Jelly. Okay, I'm assuming, and that's a brand.
21:01
Speaker 1: Part of your brand. You sat down and said faith, family, food, fitness, fashion,
21:05
Speaker 1: and fun. I'm gonna go to each one. Then, well,
21:08
Speaker 1: then I want to go back to the cookbook and
21:10
Speaker 1: want you to pull me through your favorite recipes, and
21:13
Speaker 1: then we're gonna close it that alright, Google the six
21:16
Speaker 1: of Jilly. You know, not residing in Glyndale, California. She's
21:21
Speaker 1: a star, not a star on the Ride. She is
21:23
Speaker 1: a real star, social media star, YouTuber, She's a she's
21:27
Speaker 1: a Dance of Us singer, She's an all around superstar Jilly.
21:32
Speaker 1: This is Roshan mcdowe. First time I'm interviewing you. I've
21:35
Speaker 1: noticed that your bio said the sixths of Jelly. Break
21:39
Speaker 1: that down your faith, family, food, fitness, fashion, and fun.
21:43
Speaker 1: Let's start with faith. Faith. I'm a big believer in
21:46
Speaker 1: my faith. You know, God comes first, God comes before
21:49
Speaker 1: it all. You know, without him, none of it's possible.
21:51
Speaker 1: And I don't just say that, I stand by that.
21:52
Speaker 1: I wake up every morning and I pray. I pray
21:55
Speaker 1: with my family, so twice this morning, once um, once
21:57
Speaker 1: I wake up, once again with my family. We have
21:59
Speaker 1: a group message where my dad sends his prayers every
22:02
Speaker 1: single morning NonStop. Then again once before I go to sleep.
22:05
Speaker 1: And you know, just throughout the day, I just know
22:06
Speaker 1: that no matter what, without my faith, without knowing who
22:10
Speaker 1: my God is, just none of this would be possible.
22:12
Speaker 1: And you know, just always giving praise to the Highest,
22:15
Speaker 1: praise to the you know, everything that I go through, everything,
22:18
Speaker 1: through the good and bad, I just never stop saying
22:21
Speaker 1: thank you. I never not make time for that, you know.
22:24
Speaker 1: So I think with faith, it just has to do
22:26
Speaker 1: with growing up with my family who instilled that, you know,
22:29
Speaker 1: God is love. God is everything. So with um, with
22:33
Speaker 1: God is love, I just know that no matter what,
22:35
Speaker 1: every success I owe it to Him. So that's where
22:37
Speaker 1: faith comes from. And now on the family side, it
22:40
Speaker 1: was talking about the recipes in the book their generaship.
22:42
Speaker 1: You know, because we talked about family little bit in faith,
22:44
Speaker 1: but let's talk about family when it comes to the
22:46
Speaker 1: food and your whole life. Family. You know, family when
22:49
Speaker 1: it comes to the food. As you can see in
22:50
Speaker 1: my cookbook, it's very incorporated with my family, and my
22:53
Speaker 1: family is all throughout it. My family is literally I
22:56
Speaker 1: want to see if I can just quickly, I can
22:59
Speaker 1: even show you here's a picture right here with my dad.
23:03
Speaker 1: This picture, like my mom and my grandmother is just
23:06
Speaker 1: you know, family is a big part of my life.
23:08
Speaker 1: If you ever, you know, have seen me, here's my
23:11
Speaker 1: mom and my grandmother throughout it. My brother is in
23:15
Speaker 1: here somewhere. Just I mean, people who watch me, people
23:19
Speaker 1: who have been following me all these years, they know
23:21
Speaker 1: that my family is my everything. You know, my family
23:25
Speaker 1: is literally all I have. It's literally my mom, my dad,
23:29
Speaker 1: my brother, um, and my grandmother. It's us five and
23:33
Speaker 1: we have We're small, but we're mighty. We are small,
23:37
Speaker 1: but were mighty. And you know, for me, it's kind
23:39
Speaker 1: of a second, it's not even a really thought. It's
23:42
Speaker 1: just like, my family is my everything. I don't even
23:46
Speaker 1: want to I don't know, it's just so I don't
23:48
Speaker 1: even know like how to tell you nothing would be
23:51
Speaker 1: possible without my family there my backbones. They have me
23:54
Speaker 1: more than anybody in this world. And you know, kind
23:57
Speaker 1: of gets like emotional to talk about it. But my mom,
23:58
Speaker 1: my dad, my brother, and my grandmother, the way we
24:00
Speaker 1: support one another, the way we love one another. I
24:03
Speaker 1: just know that if everything were to go wrong in
24:05
Speaker 1: this world, their doors will always be open. And you know,
24:08
Speaker 1: no matter what, I can be my true self around them.
24:10
Speaker 1: They'll never judge me, and they love me and support
24:13
Speaker 1: me through everything. So family is a very you know,
24:15
Speaker 1: touchy but strong subject to me. Coolt's combined too of
24:19
Speaker 1: the elf. Food and fitness, you know, food and fitness. Okay,
24:26
Speaker 1: so it's you. So with food and fitness, you know,
24:32
Speaker 1: in this cookbook there's a lot of like happy healthy
24:36
Speaker 1: mial not really healthy but happy, you know, good rinching bottery,
24:43
Speaker 1: buttery with salt mills. So I'm telling people abs are
24:47
Speaker 1: not included in this book now that the body is
24:51
Speaker 1: not included, you know, And that's why I wanted to
24:55
Speaker 1: make sure I could bind food and fitness because they
24:57
Speaker 1: are separate in your in your when you're laying out,
24:59
Speaker 1: but you are dealing with a book that, like you said, uh,
25:03
Speaker 1: has grown folks food in that book right there. You
25:05
Speaker 1: know that's that's that's that's some real food up in that.
25:07
Speaker 1: You know, shrip the jumbo shrump up in there and
25:10
Speaker 1: looking great there. And so now the part of the
25:13
Speaker 1: book that really are really made me really caught my
25:17
Speaker 1: eye with the look book part, the look book cook book.
25:21
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm maybe I've missed something, but I've never seen
25:23
Speaker 1: that before and it's so slick talk about the fashion
25:27
Speaker 1: and the look book part. I mean, here's even just one.
25:30
Speaker 1: This is like a versace look with that I did, um,
25:33
Speaker 1: I think it came second natured to me because I
25:37
Speaker 1: mean I love fashion, I love style. I love I
25:41
Speaker 1: feel like every day it's a fashion show. And you know,
25:43
Speaker 1: for me, like I said, I'm not a person who
25:46
Speaker 1: just sits in the kitchen and just like cooks and
25:48
Speaker 1: that's not what I do. I'm not sixty years old
25:51
Speaker 1: putting out a cookbook and have twenty kids and it's
25:53
Speaker 1: just all about recipes. I mean, I wanted it to
25:55
Speaker 1: be true to my brand, true to my image, and
25:58
Speaker 1: my image is I literally will be in the kitchen
26:02
Speaker 1: fully clothed like this cooking dinner and that's what you're
26:06
Speaker 1: coming home to. I mean, I just wanted to, you know,
26:08
Speaker 1: to be a part of really who I am. And
26:10
Speaker 1: I love fashion, so I was like, how can I
26:12
Speaker 1: really incorporate this to not only make it like a cookbook,
26:15
Speaker 1: but make it so true to me yet so fun
26:18
Speaker 1: yet so different. That hasn't been done. And I'm a
26:21
Speaker 1: big person on doing things that haven't been done. I
26:23
Speaker 1: don't want to fit in, you know, I want to
26:25
Speaker 1: stand out always, and I think doing a cookbook slash
26:28
Speaker 1: lookbook and having a different look for every single meal,
26:32
Speaker 1: it's never been done, and I just can't wait to
26:34
Speaker 1: see everyone who tries to copy it. Now. Well, absolutely,
26:37
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. It's the first. Now fun I
26:39
Speaker 1: I said that from the very beginning that you are
26:42
Speaker 1: a comedic actress. You know, uh, you have a sitcom
26:46
Speaker 1: skill because I would tell people can do drama, but
26:49
Speaker 1: being a funny person being a sitcom that's a that's
26:52
Speaker 1: a talent, that's a skill set. Where does this fun personality?
26:56
Speaker 1: And let me ask you this because a lot of
26:59
Speaker 1: times people see you on your social media, they see
27:02
Speaker 1: your TV, they see this upbeat person. When do you
27:06
Speaker 1: shut it down, because I will tell you I was
27:08
Speaker 1: just all the time. Steve Harvey or Kevin hard they
27:11
Speaker 1: always think they should be funny all the time. They
27:13
Speaker 1: cannot be funny all the time. When do you shut
27:15
Speaker 1: it down? When does this fun person shut it down?
27:18
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever shuts down. I think I'm
27:20
Speaker 1: just fine seven. I think I am just an awesome, delightful,
27:25
Speaker 1: always waking up in a great movie person. I mean
27:32
Speaker 1: I think it just come to my family, that goes again,
27:39
Speaker 1: It just plays, it goes again with my family, and
27:42
Speaker 1: my family is fun. My family exudes fun. You come
27:45
Speaker 1: around us, there's never a dull moment. And it really
27:48
Speaker 1: is never a dull moment. I mean, you know, of
27:51
Speaker 1: course I'm human. I get in my feelings sometimes too,
27:53
Speaker 1: But around my family, you better be in them feelings
27:56
Speaker 1: for two minutes or less because after a second, everyone's
27:59
Speaker 1: gonna be look at you just crazy. So I mean
28:02
Speaker 1: when I tell you, just with my family, you can't
28:05
Speaker 1: be in a bad mood for long. You know, Um,
28:08
Speaker 1: fun is just our life. Fun is our lifestyle. Life
28:10
Speaker 1: is too short. We really my mom and my dad
28:12
Speaker 1: have done a great job with just always saying you know,
28:15
Speaker 1: you don't stay mad for too long. You don't stay
28:16
Speaker 1: in a mad place for too long. You get over it.
28:18
Speaker 1: You get over it, you start something new. Every hour
28:22
Speaker 1: is a new hour. You know, just to be fun,
28:25
Speaker 1: fun and life. You are fun, You're you're fantastic. Now,
28:27
Speaker 1: a couple of things, you know. I'm putting my I'm
28:29
Speaker 1: putting my casting director, my manager hat on. Okay. If
28:34
Speaker 1: somebody offered you a cooking show, would you do it?
28:37
Speaker 1: I would? Okay, cool, okay, cool. I would make it
28:39
Speaker 1: my own. It wouldn't just be your ordinary in there
28:42
Speaker 1: with the ugly apron. Okay, you're gonna be in there.
28:45
Speaker 1: You'll be in there cooking. It's gonna be real. Now,
28:48
Speaker 1: I ain't ibody messing with your your your brain. Now
28:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna just the jelly brain. Okay, now, okay. Talk show,
28:55

29:06
Speaker 1: I love whenever there is a panel of there, you know,
29:10
Speaker 1: big and great co stars. I think it's so amazing
29:13
Speaker 1: to have that different outlook, especially with women. I think
29:15
Speaker 1: it's such a great outlook to have, you know, different
29:18
Speaker 1: conversations with a panel of women and just different outlooks
29:20
Speaker 1: on life and different perspectives as well as doing individually.
29:23
Speaker 1: I mean, I can hold my own show, So I mean,
29:25

Speaker 1: just asking for you know, just laying it out opportunities
29:31
Speaker 1: and things like that. Absolutely, we love opportunities. Well, I
29:34
Speaker 1: think that's your natural personality. You know, you'll go get it,
29:37
Speaker 1: you know, but you go get it with a plan.
29:39
Speaker 1: And that's what I respect about what you're trying to
