• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Brandon expert Rashan McDonald. I will know he's giving me

  Speaker 1: advice on many occasions. In the case you didn't notice,

• 0:19

  Speaker 1: it's what he likes to share. Now it's time to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: hear from my man, Rashan McDonald money Making Conversations. Here
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: we go. Racism is in Hollywood. Agism is in Hollywood. Stereotypes, steeotyping,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's in Hollywood. And sexism most definitely it's in Hollywood.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But this is this is a world that we have
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to that people want to participate in, and I wanted
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to be a part of it, but I had to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: deal with the reality of it. But also when you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: look at reality, they're stereotyping. They're people who think that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this is how, this is what people want, this is
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: what you should look like, this is what you should be.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You should be this side, wear your hair color this color,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you should you should be this skin tone. These are
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: stereotypes that that can force you to sometimes throw your
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: hands up and walk away. On my on the call
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that I'm interviewing a fantastic actor, actress Shiniko Shande. She's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: one of the stars of Harlem, and as as we
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: wrap up this interview, I just wanted her to talk about,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know, the growth process, being able to come to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: overcome the art, to overcome the negativity, and being in
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a good position. Shaniqua, I hope I didn't put you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: on the spot, but I know that you're a person
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: who has a strong opinion and a person who's a survivor.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: A survivor and the fact that you know you're not
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: gonna let anybody close adorn you that you can actually
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: open tell us about your experiences, are being able to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: overcome stereotypes in Hollywood as an everyday life as well.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I keep my dreams close to me. I keep what
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going for um surrounding me and whether that is
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: like watching films in case there's a low day, watching
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: films and music and things that are inspiring. I used
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to have a dream wall when I was in my
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: teams and pointings as people have a vision board I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: had a whole entire wall about the build again of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just all of just keeping visuals of everything that I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: want in front of me and getting the muscle of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: faith as practiced and as strong as possible. I think
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it's sometimes silly, but I think we got it. Takes
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: like believing in yourself the way Kanye belief for himself,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: which issues like not quite irrational but maybe a little
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: bit of bad. You have to be so sure of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what you can't see and what others can't see, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they're gonna put all of their disbeliefs and fears on you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You have to be like flick with like the oil
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of self, so that stuff can fall like off of you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm realizing how much we are all used and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: connected in order to help someone else be used and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be connected. And so I personally don't only do it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for myself, but I do it for younger versions of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: people who love me, of curvy chocolate, other people who
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: don't see themselves, people who feel other people who don't
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: see see themselves when they see here the time, leading woman,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: leading man, as many places as I can be in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: as authentically as myself, taking up as much space as
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I can it allows someone else to do the same,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and so you can reach a down and help bring
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: people up, and you can also be a vessel and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a light while also in the moment as well, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: so wanting people to see themselves one, people to feel represented,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: wanting people to feel empowered enough to turn their light
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: on and shine as greatly as possible is one of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: my huge motivators because when we can flood the gates,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: then we don't need gatekeepers. So ultimately it's really really
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: really believing in yourself and post that dream all over place.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Talk about it now, stop, do a pep talk, as
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you must, because it's we're so used to operating in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: what we see that's like the reality. But what in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: order to conquer anything, you have to be a little
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: bit outside of that reality. And so keeping your mind
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and your spirit in those places will help it come
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to fruition. And I believe, well, you know, it's interesting
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you're saying that, just like you know, I think about
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: myself and sometimes, you know, the dream seems so far away, yea,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: because it's like college, you know you go to as
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a freshman, you know, you know, a freshman, sophomore, junior,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: seeing you can graduate. But when you in entertainment and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's like where's the end game? Because like you said earlier,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like sometimes you can audition for a show, it gets
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: picked up and then you get canceled. So so you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: really never have that comfort zone of I made it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You know, this is even with this show harlem Me.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You know, we're happy is on, but we don't know
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: whether it's going to be four or five or six seasons.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: We don't know that. And so because the things can
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: change it or wanna brother, they were canceling shows that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: have been ordered. They didn't care. They were just kicking
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: them out. So we don't want to do these shows.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And so so does that ever get from a name
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: because we talked about mental health from a standpoint of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I know, I was sitting in my room in la
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and I still today, I'm not just because they're not
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in enlightenment, don't mean you hit these little bumps in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the road that make you worry about paying a bill,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: make you worried about it's just the right decision that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you make. Because a person who deals with a job
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: nine to five, they go to the job, they go
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to work at a to get off of five o'clock.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: They know, forty hours a week they're get paid. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: into our business, entertainment business, and you know what we're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: talking about, it can be so surreal because you never
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: know when to be happy. Yeah, yeah, because even while
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've had moments thankfully like settled and balanced and have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: done the perspectives and inner work so that I can
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: appreciate these moments, but previously will be on the way
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to a red carpet in tears because everyone asks you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: where you're doing next, and you don't know, especially when
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's a movie where you don't get the residuals, you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and so wanting to get a lot of drastic work
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: within myself because I wanted to be able to appreciate
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: everything as it's happening. And guests have all of the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: dreams and have ambition, and I've been called ambitious all
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of my life. Be ambitious, but also be appreciative of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the work that I did right now and the work
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that is showing right now, and grateful for this time
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and celebrate it because I got so used to not
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: celebrate anything because my mom is constantly on the what's next,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and you miss all of these beautiful opportunities that way,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And what is the life that you live and you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: work so hard for it, but don't celebrate it because
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you're so scared of what might happen. And so definitely
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I had to practice mindfulness with that. I practice a
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: spirit of gratitude. I journal it like I journal every
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: day ten things that I'm grateful for, every night, ten
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: things in that day that I was grateful for, because
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get so caught up in the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: what's next, what's next? Oh my god, I can't the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: things I can't control and miss the blessing of my work.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But to say all of that, I always has been
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: very clear about what I want next and very able
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to bet on myself. And I think that to what's required.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: When you say, oh, I got to show out what's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: next music and I want my next movie. I don't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: have to have it right now. I don't have to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: be scared. I don't have to have it in order
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to know that I will, and I don't have to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: have the confirmation right now in order for me to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be joyous about today. But I want to international action
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: film next. And I say that with all the confidence
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that I hope everyone else says that they want that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they that they want next and they're able to manifest
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it for themselves. But don't I don't know how to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: say it, but to don't be fearful. Because as long
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: as you're doing work, as long as you are because
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you're face without work, faith without works is dead. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: as long as you are doing the work and being
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: very speciftic and intentional and sowing the seeds and going
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: out in networking and creating the project and other than that,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you can't control when they buy Wow. But if you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: doing your part, rejoice that you did your part today,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that you're better than you were yesterday, and know that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: what you are going for is near. But now you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: can have to fear if you ain't doing it. Preach, preach, preach,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: do your thing, preach Siku. I really uh will to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: thank you for coming on my show because I I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm fortunately have to be able to interview

  Speaker 1: somebody like you, somebody who's honest, somebody who's willing to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: share their ups and downs and their and their their
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: vulnerabilities because we have to realize that we're in the
• 9:42
