- 1:03Speaker 1: de you know, just you know, it's just a lot
- 1:06Speaker 1: going on with your life, your career, and you look fantastic.
- 1:09Speaker 1: By the way. Thank you so much, Thanks so much.
- 1:12Speaker 1: You've got all that information. That's a lot of information
- 1:15Speaker 1: you dropped in. Well, you know, first of all, you know,
- 1:18Speaker 1: you know off air, I was telling you that one
- 1:19Speaker 1: of the first time we met when I was when
- 1:21Speaker 1: I was one of the producer's own sister sister, and
- 1:24Speaker 1: I was one of the early early years. You was
- 1:26Speaker 1: very successful singer, and you were at that turn you
- 1:29Speaker 1: was making that turn to consider acting as a as
- 1:32Speaker 1: a as what was this a love for acting or
- 1:34Speaker 1: you just felt like that was a craft you wanted
- 1:36Speaker 1: to build on when you was auditioned for sitcoms like
- 1:38Speaker 1: Sister Sister, Well, it was it was during my early years.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I learned very very early on that you have to
- 1:49Speaker 1: try and crack at everything right, and so acting with
- 1:53Speaker 1: something that was always in my blood. I had done
- 1:55Speaker 1: musicals before, but when I went to l A, you know,
- 1:59Speaker 1: doing studios, actions and working on the album wasn't enough
- 2:02Speaker 1: I wanted to do. I wanted to do more, and
- 2:04Speaker 1: so that was um. You know, I had had an
- 2:08Speaker 1: agent that would just send me on all these different auditions.
- 2:12Speaker 1: You know for different types of roles. Well, the thing
- 2:15Speaker 1: that all came across to me in the in the audition,
- 2:18Speaker 1: which that you was just a natural um. You know
- 2:20Speaker 1: you were not uh, the moment wasn't too big for you.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Because the reason I say that because you know a
- 2:25Speaker 1: lot of actors, a lot of singers came through common
- 2:28Speaker 1: came through a lot of individuals who and I see
- 2:32Speaker 1: that what they're doing now, and I see what you're
- 2:33Speaker 1: doing now, and then to see the early stages of
- 2:36Speaker 1: learning and trying to get a sense of who you are,
- 2:39Speaker 1: what you say, what you do because you come in there,
- 2:42Speaker 1: I guess uh, in some ways because of the fact
- 2:44Speaker 1: that you are a successful singer versus a person who
- 2:48Speaker 1: may be an unknown actress, it almost is almost a
- 2:51Speaker 1: disadvantage sometimes to you are are maybe uh the fact
- 2:56Speaker 1: that you know you're coming in and you're making a
- 2:58Speaker 1: transition and you give him credit for the gifts that
- 3:01Speaker 1: you have as an actor. I think, well, I think
- 3:05Speaker 1: a lot of the times the right project has to
- 3:09Speaker 1: find you. And in order for you to find you,
- 3:11Speaker 1: you have to continue to go out and be fearless
- 3:13Speaker 1: and put yourself in front of people that are going
- 3:15Speaker 1: to see that gift. You know, I did my first
- 3:19Speaker 1: independent um. I did a film with Lorenz Tate, you know,
- 3:25Speaker 1: a movie called Love Come Down in two thousand, which
- 3:27Speaker 1: was I think probably um again, it was something that
- 3:33Speaker 1: that came to me and I think really suited who
- 3:37Speaker 1: I was, right, right, right right, That's what I'm saying.
- 3:40Speaker 1: You know, when you come in for these auditions for
- 3:42Speaker 1: these sitcoms or these dramas, you know, you're trying to
- 3:47Speaker 1: be something that sometimes we've already you know, you're you're
- 3:50Speaker 1: you know, you're you are still are a very popular singer. Okay,
- 3:54Speaker 1: let's go and get that straight. So when you at
- 3:55Speaker 1: the time, you even more are prominent, you singing, walk
- 3:58Speaker 1: and even go okay, just jepra okay, wow, okay, and
- 4:03Speaker 1: so you can you so you you're you're somewhat um
- 4:07Speaker 1: um and all of the fact that you're in a
- 4:09Speaker 1: room and you're trying to audition for a funny role.
- 4:13Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You're trying to be a
- 4:14Speaker 1: friend of a family member or a friend of the
- 4:17Speaker 1: twins at the time, because that's what Sister Sister was about.
- 4:20Speaker 1: And so so it means that you but like you said,
- 4:23Speaker 1: when you're the role you had with Lawrence Tate. They
- 4:25Speaker 1: brought that to you, so they had a sense of
- 4:27Speaker 1: this is who I want to play this role. This
- 4:30Speaker 1: is the person he is, the value already, the natural
- 4:32Speaker 1: skills I want to look, I want the tone, I
- 4:35Speaker 1: want all those things that are those values. And so
- 4:38Speaker 1: so then that carries you over into Broadway, which is
- 4:41Speaker 1: even more wow. You know. Yea happens, big, big, big
- 4:46Speaker 1: shoes to fail when it comes to, you know, taking
- 4:50Speaker 1: on a role that's already been established. Um. But you
- 4:54Speaker 1: know again, I think it's it's really about how fearless
- 4:58Speaker 1: can you be, you know, and in shedding the persona
- 5:02Speaker 1: that people see and that people have gotten used to
- 5:07Speaker 1: and stepping into something completely different. I had gotten to
- 5:10Speaker 1: the point where I was very bored with a lot
- 5:12Speaker 1: of the things that were happening, and Broadway seemed to
- 5:17Speaker 1: have a lot more compelling storylines and more compelling, um
- 5:23Speaker 1: you know, just a way of telling the story. I
- 5:25Speaker 1: was able to sing and act and dance and live
- 5:28Speaker 1: and be live and live as well. And I think
- 5:31Speaker 1: that that's what I took away when I was watching you,
- 5:33Speaker 1: was like, you're in your moment, you know, because you know,
- 5:36Speaker 1: it's a you know, there's a former stand up comic,
- 5:38Speaker 1: I know, going in front of a live audience. You know,
- 5:41Speaker 1: you it's there's a high level of you know, you
- 5:44Speaker 1: can't plan it. There's a lot of you can't nothing. Yeah, yeah,
- 5:47Speaker 1: you're like, it's like you're walking that type what's going
- 5:50Speaker 1: to happen? Right, and and and every audience and every
- 5:54Speaker 1: show people right might laugh at something that that the
- 5:57Speaker 1: previous audience didn't find a humor or, and then they
- 6:00Speaker 1: might they might cry, or they might get your standard ovation,
- 6:03Speaker 1: or they might applaud. It's something to react to it.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And that's that that that's that's what you got out
- 6:09Speaker 1: of the whole live world, that whole Broadway world. Correct.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, there was no no chance to retake anything.
- 6:18Speaker 1: We do anything when you're live. As soon as you
- 6:21Speaker 1: know that downbeat happens, you're pretty much off and running.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And you gotta you know, know all your lines, know
- 6:28Speaker 1: your marks, you know, and and be in it and
- 6:31Speaker 1: and be able to deliver in front of the audience
- 6:33Speaker 1: that's paid, you know, over a hundred dollars for a seat,
- 6:36Speaker 1: and you've got to make sure that you deliver. You know,
- 6:38Speaker 1: that's awesome. Now you have a you have a movie
- 6:40Speaker 1: project coming up on bt TY called Influence. It starts
- 6:44Speaker 1: one of my good Anthony Hamilton's and Kim tell us
- 6:48Speaker 1: a little bit about that. Uh, and I know we're
- 6:50Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna talk about the Age Healthcare Foundation all that,
- 6:53Speaker 1: but I wanted to just talk about your brain is
- 6:55Speaker 1: amazing and the fact that I got you on my show.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I always like to talk about the evolution of a
- 7:00Speaker 1: journey when you're talking about people with careers. Your careers
- 7:03Speaker 1: are amazingly long and it's not going anywhere. So let's
- 7:06Speaker 1: talk about the upcoming movie on b T. Well, this
- 7:10Speaker 1: movie is called Influence, and it's about a family of
- 7:14Speaker 1: lawyers who take on this case of superstar celebrity who's
- 7:20Speaker 1: accused of murder. And I play Savannah who's accused of
- 7:25Speaker 1: murdering her husband, um and so different. So yeah, it's
- 7:30Speaker 1: really a suspense thriller. And that was the reason why
- 7:33Speaker 1: I signed on to do it was because I had
- 7:35Speaker 1: never done anything like that before. I always loved that
- 7:38Speaker 1: feels like that it's there sultry in there too. You know,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you're you're you look good. Yeah, yeah, I think that
- 7:47Speaker 1: this role Will Will Will explore a very different side
- 7:52Speaker 1: of me, a side that I've never had to even
- 7:54Speaker 1: exploit doing music. You know a lot of the times,
- 7:58Speaker 1: you know, women have to you know, be sort of
- 8:00Speaker 1: you know, scantily clad. And I've I've always been able
- 8:04Speaker 1: to you know, be measured by the by the weight
- 8:11Speaker 1: of of my talent, right and my voice. Yeah, so,
- 8:15Speaker 1: um yeah, I I really pride myself in that because
- 8:19Speaker 1: I think the standards are you know, the standards have
- 8:22Speaker 1: been lowered, you know, over the years. Um and when
- 8:26Speaker 1: you think about these triple threats like the Diane Carrols,
- 8:29Speaker 1: the Dorothy Dandrids, Lena Horne, all these great incredible classy women,
- 8:35Speaker 1: you know, they never had to do that. They had
- 8:37Speaker 1: all they needed was there, you know, their talent, you know.
- 8:41Speaker 1: So um so back to influence, it's it's it's something
- 8:45Speaker 1: that I've never done before. And it was really um
- 8:48Speaker 1: fun to explore a different side, uh of acting, which
- 8:52Speaker 1: is really dramatic and doing a lot of suspense and
- 8:55Speaker 1: thriller type stuff. Well, I like the word thriller tied
- 8:58Speaker 1: to your name. You know, that suspense, that drama because
- 9:00Speaker 1: you know the reason I say that, because you know,
- 9:03Speaker 1: you have the different shows and they're like, you know,
- 9:05Speaker 1: like their dramas and that's their their sitcoms and things
- 9:08Speaker 1: like that, and they tend to be over the top
- 9:10Speaker 1: and so so here and you and this this role,
- 9:13Speaker 1: these roles, and I have to say they're usually white actors,
- 9:16Speaker 1: and actors usually get these type of roles. In those
- 9:19Speaker 1: particular roles where they allowed the character to play out
- 9:22Speaker 1: be played the sinister role that you know, look, the
- 9:26Speaker 1: evil but good looking, uh, the pause and ivy type
- 9:30Speaker 1: characters that had to be a lot of fun. That
- 9:32Speaker 1: really when they when the when the opportunity that came
- 9:34Speaker 1: to you, you had to jump forward, right Oh yeah,
- 9:38Speaker 1: oh yeah, I mean it was they had um, they
- 9:42Speaker 1: had really um you know, they were really buying someone
- 9:46Speaker 1: to do it. And I read the script and I
- 9:48Speaker 1: and I thought it was just something very different. You know.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I had just finished coming off of The Bodyguard Musical
- 9:55Speaker 1: and I had spent eighteen months doing that show across
- 9:58Speaker 1: the country, which was great, exhilarating, and it was a
- 10:02Speaker 1: lot of a lot of great music in the show,
- 10:04Speaker 1: you know, Whitney Houston's music, I mean, which is really
- 10:07Speaker 1: a big task. So it was nice to kind of
- 10:10Speaker 1: just settle back and sink into something very very different
- 10:14Speaker 1: from that awesome, awesome. I'm on the phone this Deborah Cox.
- 10:17Speaker 1: She's talking about the movie She's gonna be a staring
- 10:20Speaker 1: in with my good friend Anthony Hamilton R and B
- 10:23Speaker 1: Cronal uh called Influence to be on b T when
- 10:26Speaker 1: we come back and gonna talk about I Believe the
- 10:29Speaker 1: new single that's called an Easy Way. Also, we're going
- 10:32Speaker 1: to talk about the World Age Day that she's involved
- 10:35Speaker 1: in December one, be back with more. Deborah Cox, the
- 10:38Speaker 1: amazing Deborah Cox, happy to have on money making conversations. Hi,
- 10:41Speaker 1: This ra Sean McDonald and you're listening to money making
- 10:43Speaker 1: conversation on the phone. Is a very talented person that
- 10:46Speaker 1: I've been many many years ago when I was casting
- 10:49Speaker 1: the sitcom's sister sister. Uh. Incredible actress, an incredible singer. Um.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Deborah Cox. Debora, welcome back to the show. Yeah, okay, cool,
- 10:58Speaker 1: let's talk about this whole a World Age Day. How
- 11:01Speaker 1: did you get involved in that? Is it a personal
- 11:03Speaker 1: reason why you getting involved and who approached you? Well,
- 11:07Speaker 1: I've been involved with with World Age Day and a
- 11:10Speaker 1: lot of Pride events for a very long time. I've been, UM,
- 11:15Speaker 1: you know, kind of in the trenches. And when the
- 11:18Speaker 1: American uh, I'll sorry, When the AIDS Healthcare Foundation approached
- 11:22Speaker 1: me about doing this show in UM in Atlanta on
- 11:25Speaker 1: December five, I really wanted to be a part of
- 11:29Speaker 1: it because I think it's important that our community, the
- 11:33Speaker 1: black community, understands that it's still a crisis, you know,
- 11:36Speaker 1: especially for black women. UM, it's not really talked about.
- 11:40Speaker 1: There's still a real stigma and and and shame UM
- 11:43Speaker 1: that's associated with What do you think that involved? I
- 11:48Speaker 1: think it's the unknown. I think it's just you know,
- 11:52Speaker 1: just really ignorance and unknown. And I think people were
- 11:55Speaker 1: to understand that there are organizations like the AIDS Healthcare
- 11:59Speaker 1: of that give out free testing, give out free condoms
- 12:03Speaker 1: that you know, that helps to inform our audience. UM,
- 12:07Speaker 1: they'll see that they can you know, there's preventative ways
- 12:12Speaker 1: UM to not be infected. And I think it's just
- 12:14Speaker 1: a conversation that has been UM kind of overlooked because
- 12:18Speaker 1: there's so many other things that people are talking about nowadays.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It's really amazing because you know, being a African American
- 12:26Speaker 1: male and I understand that you within the you know,
- 12:28Speaker 1: the the gay community is shunned within the African American community. Uh.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Talking about therapy is shunned within the African American community.
- 12:39Speaker 1: And then I also, you know the whole thing with
- 12:42Speaker 1: aids uh, and that the in the in the opportunity
- 12:45Speaker 1: to find some type of cure or some type of
- 12:49Speaker 1: programs that allow you to have a safe relationship in
- 12:53Speaker 1: that world is shunned and so and it all goes
- 12:57Speaker 1: back to education and so. And to ask you, and
- 13:00Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say that you can answer the
- 13:02Speaker 1: question because you have been involved. I'm pretty sure that
- 13:05Speaker 1: the topics that I've just discussed really frustrates you as
- 13:07Speaker 1: much as it frustrates me. Correct, absolutely, am. And I
- 13:12Speaker 1: have I have of all different types of you know, orientations.
- 13:17Speaker 1: I have you know, gay friends, lesbian friends, you know
- 13:20Speaker 1: a lot of trance people, you know. So I think
- 13:22Speaker 1: it's important that we we have we have to have
- 13:25Speaker 1: an open mind about a lot of things. We can't
- 13:28Speaker 1: be so judgmental, you know, we can't be so um,
- 13:33Speaker 1: you know, rigid and and think that our way is
- 13:36Speaker 1: the only way and it's the right way. Um. And
- 13:39Speaker 1: And on top of that, I think it's important that
- 13:42Speaker 1: people understand that, you know, AIG is not just being
- 13:47Speaker 1: uh age is not an effect in just the gay community,
- 13:52Speaker 1: you know, it's there's a lot of heterosexuals that are
- 13:54Speaker 1: contacting you know, the disease. So I um, you know.
- 13:58Speaker 1: So part of this show on December five, which is
- 14:01Speaker 1: also free, it's at the Center Staging Theater in Atlanta. UM,
- 14:05Speaker 1: it's a free show, myself, Raheim, Divan and another artist
- 14:10Speaker 1: named k Camp Oh sorry, we'll be performing and UM
- 14:15Speaker 1: there will be tons of information you know about UM
- 14:20Speaker 1: the virus and about how you can get tested, and
- 14:23Speaker 1: a lot of free resources that I think people really
- 14:26Speaker 1: need to take advantage of. How does want to get nan?
- 14:31Speaker 1: How do want to get tickets for this? Because you
- 14:32Speaker 1: say it's free, you know, um, yeah it's um. You

- 15:03Speaker 1: is December one, and then The third concert is December five,
- 15:06Speaker 1: and one you'll be involved with with Rahome Devon Camp.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I'm tell you first of all, I know what you
- 15:12Speaker 1: can do, okay, And if anybody has not seen Raheim
- 15:15Speaker 1: Devon and his band, this is him live is outstanding.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Its outstanding. I've been knowing him many many years and

- 15:27Speaker 1: and it's incredible. And then the final will be in
- 15:29Speaker 1: Miami December seven, And I just wanted to say this
- 15:31Speaker 1: statement before were moving forward that you've always had a
- 15:34Speaker 1: long standing commitment to various social issues in the l
- 15:37Speaker 1: g b t Q community and has been the receipient
- 15:40Speaker 1: of numerous awards. The reason I want to bring that
- 15:42Speaker 1: up there is that you know a lot of people
- 15:44Speaker 1: think people just dive in or they last minute to
- 15:46Speaker 1: the band wagon. You've been out to the forefront of
- 15:48Speaker 1: a long time and you've been honored including out Music
- 15:51Speaker 1: Pillow Award and the Harvey Milk Foundation recognized you at
- 15:54Speaker 1: your Diversity Honors ceremony for your efforts and the fight
- 15:58Speaker 1: against HIV AIDS in the LGBTQ community. So this is
- 16:03Speaker 1: something I want to just let people know that this
- 16:06Speaker 1: is not something that you thought of last week, started
- 16:09Speaker 1: last year. It's a commitment from you full time. Correct. Yeah, absolutely,
- 16:14Speaker 1: it's been a commitment. And I think that's part of
- 16:16Speaker 1: the reason why, you know, the organizations like a hf
- 16:21Speaker 1: UM you know, why they want me to be involved
- 16:24Speaker 1: because it's it's a constant fight, it's a constant um
- 16:28Speaker 1: you know, it's constant work, you know, because every year
- 16:32Speaker 1: something is different. There's new studies that come out about
- 16:35Speaker 1: HIV and aide. There are new organizations that they're also
- 16:39Speaker 1: getting involved with that can help people that are you know,
- 16:43Speaker 1: are that fall on hard times as a result of
- 16:46Speaker 1: being infected. Like there's a lot of homelessness. There's a
- 16:49Speaker 1: lot of things that happen as a result of of
- 16:52Speaker 1: you know these um uh the results being infected. So
- 16:57Speaker 1: you know, they have a lot of different organizations that
- 17:01Speaker 1: they partner with that can help that, right, right, with
- 17:06Speaker 1: with housing, with funding that kind of thing, right, I know.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I'm just let you know I've be in New York
- 17:11Speaker 1: on the fourth. Um. I live in Atlanta, so I
- 17:15Speaker 1: don't be surprised if you see my mug December five,

- 17:21Speaker 1: a long time and I've loved it. Meet you, uh

- 18:04Speaker 1: and exemplifies what a lot of people are going through
- 18:06Speaker 1: in their love life. Now. You know, I've been married
- 18:10Speaker 1: for twenty one years and it hasn't been easy. It
- 18:13Speaker 1: hasn't been um uh. It's been a real commitment. You know,
- 18:18Speaker 1: my husband and I really um put our time in.
- 18:22Speaker 1: We're we're really committed and you know, doing what's right
- 18:25Speaker 1: for each other and our family. And I think this
- 18:28Speaker 1: song talked about a lot of a lot of the
- 18:31Speaker 1: issues that people go through when they're in a place
- 18:35Speaker 1: that they're they're kind of stuff and stagnant because you all,
- 18:40Speaker 1: you know, the romance does fade after a while and
- 18:42Speaker 1: you have to try to find ways new ways to
- 18:45Speaker 1: keep that sparked going. And so the song easy Way
- 18:48Speaker 1: really talks about, um, this woman who is doesn't know
- 18:52Speaker 1: she should say it, doesn't know she should go, who
- 18:55Speaker 1: have been want to figure it out, they don't know
- 18:56Speaker 1: how to figure it out. So the song is really
- 19:00Speaker 1: talking about that um back and forth struggle and then
- 19:04Speaker 1: you know it, really that's a very relatable because, as
- 19:07Speaker 1: you know, any long term relationship, you know, the the
- 19:11Speaker 1: wondering eye, you know, um do I do? You know
- 19:15Speaker 1: looking at your mate? Of course your mate don't look
- 19:17Speaker 1: like the person who was fifteen years ago? Okay, right,
- 19:21Speaker 1: and so but you put that standard on your mate
- 19:23Speaker 1: like that, you know, and then you start forgetting how
- 19:26Speaker 1: you look. You know, do you forget that you put
- 19:28Speaker 1: you don't put the standards on yourself, Deborah, Hey, you
- 19:32Speaker 1: used to be fine. Hey if you look at the
- 19:34Speaker 1: mirrorland lately. And so when you when you put a
- 19:37Speaker 1: single out there, it really carries a lot of baggage
- 19:41Speaker 1: of honesty. And I'm excited about you. You're talking about
- 19:44Speaker 1: that because you you you personalized it, and you talked
- 19:47Speaker 1: about your relationship and the difficulties. You know, I've been
- 19:50Speaker 1: married with almost thirty years, so I know the journey,
- 19:55Speaker 1: the journey, and talked to a lot of people who
- 19:57Speaker 1: are who have been in long rel relationships and and you.
- 20:01Speaker 1: I found that if you, if you stop going in
- 20:06Speaker 1: with such huge expectations of this thing called love, you
- 20:11Speaker 1: you'll you'll you'll have a better approach, um, you know,
- 20:17Speaker 1: to the just the everyday sort of mundane things, you
- 20:21Speaker 1: know what I mean, you will have such glossy eyes
- 20:24Speaker 1: about um, you know, about being in a relationship. You
- 20:28Speaker 1: think that's part of the problem is, you know, we
- 20:31Speaker 1: sometimes expect love to be you know, spark flying all
- 20:34Speaker 1: the time. Or do you have a single this tied
- 20:37Speaker 1: a video tied to this single yet. Yeah, we're going
