  Speaker 1: you ever thought about doing stand up comedy? Yes? I do?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I do stand up you do? I didn't know that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't your bio. Okay, tell us about your stand up
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: comedy career because I'm a farmer stand up. So I've
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: always yes, you know, Deaf comedy, jambt comic view, all
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that performed. You know, I managed Steve Harvey, so that's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: how he met. You know, I met because he used
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to be my opening act. That's how Steve Harvey. So
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: stand up comforts in my blood. So tell me about
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: your stand up comedy career because that's nowhere listed in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: your bio. So I knew it was something. That's why
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I asked, because you're so funny, Oh little thank you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I I look at myself as a full
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: rounded artist. So my dog is very loud. I have
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a frenchee and he just came as soon as it
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: started down. But that was but yeah, so I mean
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: being you know, I try to be you know, experimental
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in my creativity. And so two of my girlfriends dared me,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: dared each other to start doing stand up. Um and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I've I've been doing it for over ten years. I've
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: flowed around with it. Um yeah, something I love to do.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I've met Kevin Hart that way, Mike Epps, Tiffany Hattish
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and I became friends doing stand up and you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: just being really thrusted into the comedic world. I was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I Love That Girl. You know, that was produced by
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Um Bentley, Kyle Evans, and Martin Lawrence, and so one
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of the requirements to play I'm Unique was for me
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to do stand up So that just made me do
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that even more. But you know, at the end of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the day, I love acting, you know, like that's my
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: main thing, so to go on the road and commit
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to and it's always something that I have to always
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: convince me. I gotta give you credit. Now, I was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: very talented as a stand up I could not act
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: somehow when you put the paper in front of me.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I did a couple of films and people said I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was good in it, but I just think I was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: just playing a role. It wasn't me. I was. So
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it's so extreme, but but the whole process of being
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: able to capture character because you play so many different characters,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: how is that or do you have an acting coach?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: How do you pull that off? Well? I've been trained.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I went to Baltimore School for the Arts when I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: was in high school, and then I graduated from there
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and went to California Institute of the Arts, and that's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what brought me to California. So I have my degree,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: right and so with that process, So do you do
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you do? You take every role as like for instance,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: people say they get they get into the moment. You know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of your roles are comedic, you know, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: like I said, I met you when we was doing
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the very popular Fall from Grace and there was nothing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: really funny about that and so so that was major
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: swing from you being a stand up comedian. How do
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you balance those two differences? Well, you know, being a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: full rounded artist. You know, that's what I love about
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: training and really honing your craft. And you know I've
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I studied Shakespeare and Ibsen and check Off along with
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you know, August Wilson, along with Edward Albie. You know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you just gotta learn it all, um, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: learn how to have as many you know, things in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: your toolbox. And then you know, of course there's God's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: gift and the favor. And I was very grateful that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I started in drama, um, and I was like,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, guest star on e Er recurring guest star.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That was like one of my first big gigs. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: did Grey's Anatomy, so I had lots of like drama
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: stuff under my belt. Uh. And I was just so
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: grateful that Tyler remembered me and from Acrimony and the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: special for me, which was also drama acrimony, and he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: was like, I wanna break you into the drama because
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: people don't know all the things you can do. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, very grateful for that opportunity. Right when
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you we can go back a little bit, the Fall
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: from Grace, Like I said, I think it's still one
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of the you know, I'm a fan of Tyler Perry,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: one of the best Tyler Perry films. You know, the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ending I never saw coming. I I was like, wow,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And I just highly recommended so many people. I really
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: went on social media crazy about the movie, just telling
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: everybody to watch it now in a movie because the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: reason I really respected that movie so much because it
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: was on Netflix. It still is on Netflix, by the way,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and it opened in a hundred and ninety countries and so,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: which is always frustrated me by black movies or black film,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: especially when they're running by the studios when they when
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it premier them, they premiere them domestically, and so as
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a black artist, you really never get that international growth
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: at international appeal and and that's what all we want
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to do. We just want to share our talents with
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the world. When that movie, right, when that movie opened
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: at that wide? Did that did that? Did that have
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a major impact of a major influence on your brand
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on your social media? Can you talk about the influence
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of that movie on your career as well as being
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: an opening worldwide? Well, anything attached to the amazing Tyler
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Perry is a gift to you know, the culture, to mainstream,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to everything. I was given an opportunity to go on
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a real press tour and promote a movie that I was,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know, passionate about and so honored to be a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: part of. I mean, I got to work with Crystal
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Fox so that you were shot the sicily tysonly she
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: rest in peace. It was one of her last you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: know it gigs, you know, and I cherished those memories
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and that that amazing moment to be on set with
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: her and so and to do press tours with her
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and get to know her and all of them, you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so more than anything, you know, the following and people
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: really just loving the movie. I cherish the opportunity to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: sit with queens and kings, you know, and cherish that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: time to just be a fly on the wall with
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: all of these grades and to be looked at and
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to be ushered into greatness. Um, they're just grateful for
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that full opportunity, in that full circle moment to grow
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: up looking and you know, watching the plays on TV
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on Sunday and then to be starring in one was
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: just incredible. So like everything that comes out of that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is just icing on the cake. Right. We know, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: have to be complimentary of you. You're such a natural
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and uh and it's a joy for me to be
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: able to finally just put your spotlight on you because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that was an ensemble interview that I had. I got
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: one of two questions in with you. But I look
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: at the body of work. You know, there are very
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: few actors or actresses that are doing what you're doing.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about voice over. You know, we're talking about drama.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: We're talking about comma comedy, now stand up comedy, not
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: only just sitcom or comedy related productions. Now, let's talk
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to before I get to the to the run the world.

  Speaker 1: in New York and never really seeing a black woman

  Speaker 1: do that and not apologize for being a strong woman.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And uh that you know that she had fashion saying
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: all those things. It was very aspirational. So that's what

  Speaker 1: stands up for herself. Um, she's kind of she's a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: loose cannon. She's a lot like myself. You know, she's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a tourist. You know, so I've never read something off

• 14:47
  Speaker 1: As I continue my conversation with the Star of Light
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Times and Merry Little Christmas Baby, Ricia, Well, we know
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the interesting thing about it in this stage, and I've
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: been fortunate to see us started writing sitcoms in ninety
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: two on ABC and and just seeing characters they were
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: just written for comedy, but just wasn't written from a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: realistic standpoint. And unfortunately I've survived that whole reality with
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: black women were just throwing bottles each other in cussion
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and fighting. That was just the image of that. And
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: then the Ray came out with Insecure, which allowed us
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: for the first time to see two black females stories
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: being told. And then I see run the world. It
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: must be good as a black actress to be able
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to have content now that feels real, that feels relevant,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: but also feels like that were like that. I mean,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: there was Girlfriends, there were other shows that paved the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: way for us to do what we're doing living single
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: like you know, this is just a single camera way
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of showing life being you know, lived, and that we're
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: so relatable other cultures, like we're just trying to get
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: through life, you know, and deal with all of the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: things that come with it. You know, we're living successfully
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in Harlem, you know, And what does that mean? And
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: how does that look? What looks now is what's happening
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in a lifetime in the series that you have done.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Mary Little Films on Lifetime. Mary Little Baby is a
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: very Christmas movie. I know Kelly Rowland looked very well
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: from Houston, Texas when when she was doing a Disney
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: child and just seeing that character developed out always I'm
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you I'm a big Christmas love I guess
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I get. I love Christmas movie. I can't get enough
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of it. This movie. You should watch all three of them.

• 16:48
  Speaker 1: make me smile. You know, the you know, the whole

  Speaker 1: relationship that you have and your son and the young

  Speaker 1: so much that he really is your son. And so
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: when you have an unsemble cast, it's all about chemistry.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: So talk about that chemistry. And you know who the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: guy who played your father who could actually play basketball,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I mean you could actually hoop, he could hope. I
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: would like this guy for real. I know he's in basketball,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: like his daughters in basketball, Like he can loose, like
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he goes to tournaments and all kinds of for real,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: he could hoop. I was like, okay, I lose a
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: couple of that. That is what they do. Okay, pretty bad,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: could actually loot and then uh. But but when you
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: have an ensemble that makes me smile and just seeing
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you know, just black people looking good on TV and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: looking successful and having great storylines bad please right, right?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And that's all I was just saying about. I want
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: more of that. You know what, when I talk about
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the researchers are insecure and I see or run the world,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm talking, I always want more. I want I want
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Sean rhyme just the owner of the world. I won't
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: even don a just to run the world because I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: have six sisters, you know, and I grew up in
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a family of strong black women, and when I all
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: my life, half my life, I saw their stories not
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: being told correctly. When I see stories that you know
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that that are being put out there by black women,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: directed by black women, produced by black women, written by
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: black women, that's powerful. Not just saying that that that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it has to be done that way, but at least
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: give it a shot. And so I see this series
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: being put out there and you're part of it. Talk
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: about the chemistry and what makes this series so special,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: which right now is very little baby, what would be
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: premier in this month, which is no where absolutely Well, First,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: before I talk about I have to talk about the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: amazing Kelly Rowland. A lot of people don't know how
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: much she is influenced in this project. She's the producer,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you know, she's starring in it, she's doing everything, she's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: wearing all the hats, she's in costume, and she's everywhere,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: um and so much of that makes the chemistry of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: where we were, where we started, and how we come
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to set to make sure and we do this in Vancouver, Canada,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: um or there's not a lot of black people, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to get the black people when you send them to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Vancouver if need be, but they have a few and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: we've you know, and it's been great. We've created our
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: own family. And because this is our third installment, and uh,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Kelly has really set the bar of how we how
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: we are with each other. She created that family, you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that family dynamic from day one. It was great chemistry.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: The casting that she did was all just love, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and she put so much of our heart in it,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: which makes us put so much of our heart in it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You know. Um, we have Debbie Morrigan, you know, we
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: have you know, these incredible people that have lend their
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: talent and gifts to this film. And you know, she's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: made sure that there's people of color, mainly people of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: color behind the scenes. They always made sure that there
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: has been a female director, you know, um, women of
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: color who are producing. You know, like it's very important
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to Kelly if she's going to be a part of it,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that it it changes people's opinion about how black productions
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: are run. Well, I think that when I you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: being a guy who's seen it and been knowing Kelly
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: from Ken Big Kelly, who's like fifteen years old when
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I brought on stage is early years. I think one
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of the first people who brought on stage as along
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: with Beyonce and UH introduced him to the world as
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: performing acts. And I remember several years ago I pitched
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: her along with NBC sitcom starring her, so I know
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: her talents, fair work. I have always been just watching her.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I go, I've always so much more. You know that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: she's going to bring to the table because the nuances
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of acting just so special, and it feels like you
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: guys are really sisters in this series. It feels like
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I feel the the aints you know, of the relationship
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: issues that you have of being a sister, trying to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: do good for a sister, trying to still be your
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: mom to your son, as well as trying to engage
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in another relationship and move forward. All those are natural
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: paths that that can only be done if you're comfortable
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: with the with the material want and then also feelized
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that this is something that you want to put out
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: there with the general public, tell everybody about your character.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Let's break that down a little bit, right quick, okay, Well,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: care a Little is um the the younger sister, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: she takes all fine by the way, all I'm fine,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: by the way. They find the fine got up to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: my baby's sister, right, she's she's younger than me, but
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you know, but like all the sisters, but you know,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we we really love each other. She supposed she didn't
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: do something she was supposed to do for the little
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: that's the thing, and all of the Mary Littles, you see,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Kira just train right, you know, the last flip, the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: last one for the wedding. She screwed up the wedding.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: She burned the dress, like you just cannot get it together.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: She had one role, right, you didn't get that one done,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and this one was hard because I identified with her.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, yo, like she's just trying to get
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: this done and everything is against her and she had
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to depend on like everybody just comes and saves the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: day again and she's just like yeah, you know, And
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: so I mean, care a Little is like that little sister.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: You love to hate, but you can't hate because you
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: can't hate because you're trying so hard. You're trying so
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: hard to do right, to do right. I wanted her
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to try a little hard, but try hard hard. But
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you know that the thing I like about you is
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: that you're trying hard as a as a mall. You're
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: trying hard in a relationship that you want to last,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and then this serious relationship will go further. I won't
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: give away any lines and that we can't do that,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you know, because they won't let me any of you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: anymore if I blow it. But the beauty of it
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: is that you make me smile breachia well, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And I think that is important that I tell you
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that because I get to see a lot I've been
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: fortunate in my life. I got this. I've seen a
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: lot of you know, people who matured, and it's always
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: another wave of talent that problems. And you own that way.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You're on that next passage and your own excuse me,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: you already on it. You know you're just about to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: ascend it to another opportunity because you can do all
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the new voice over you and that a lot of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: people understand how hard it is for a black person
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to break in the voice over. Let alone do it,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and you're doing it successfully. A lot of people don't understand.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: When I look at your resume. You know, like I said,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: believe me, the shows I mentioned are only part of it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: We would get tired if I just start going down
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the list of it. And I only say that in
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a complimentary manner. How you get tired because you want
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to resume like that? But in this series Married Little Baby,
