• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the first time on my show. Thank you for taking
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the time, Thank you for having me. So where are
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you based at? I'm here in Atlanta. I'm from the A. Okay,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you're from not from the A, but I consider myself
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a Georgia peach. I've been here for about sixteen seventeen years,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so really, you know, we always hear about the move
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to Atlanta. The opportunities are here, you know, l A.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You know I moved. I lived in l A fifteen years.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I lived in New York. My past history as a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: stand up comic, this is I'm acting. But basically my
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: career has been tied to management and production and producing
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: shows and films, which is what we don't have done
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it all over the country, living in Chicago, lived in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of course Los Angele, New York. I'm originally from Houston.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So when I hear you talk about Atlanta's home, you're
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: actually living in what people want to get out of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Atlanta from a from an entertainment standpoint, you're acting, You're
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in acting, a working actress in Atlanta. How did you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: pull that off? You know? I think sometimes you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: they say ignorance is bliss. I don't think I knew better.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Um I was. I got my start with acting with
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Mr Tyler Perry, but of course with the stage place.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: My very first thing, my semi big thing would have
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: been Meet the Browns, and we toured that for a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: year and after that I was like, Okay, I'm in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Fort Walton Beach. There's definitely not the kind of opportunities
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that I want here. And Florida comedy in for waa, yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know, military life and that's about it. Um So
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I made the move here without the real knowledge of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: what it could be with the television industry. I knew
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: about the music part of it, which was definitely a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: big draw for me as well as a singer. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: when I got here, it was just really really cool
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to see the way that I was here at the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: beginning of the architecture that was coming of the industry
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. And it feels that way. It feels
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: very much to talk about that legacy of time frame
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that you were coming. Now, you mentioned we mentioned singing,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So what is that play? Because I looked at your
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: resume it was talking about tours like with my boy
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to Rees Tank, talk about that journey because now we
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: just focused on acting right now? Right? Yeah, well no,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: not necessarily. Um that that part of the journey was
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: really really cool because that was the original drum. The
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing about a dream is that it grows and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it expands and sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it can also be very parallel. Um. So music has
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: always been always, always, always, from the very first time
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I heard Miss Whitney Houston, always been my dream. Um.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And getting to perform with people like Tyree's Tank Vantage,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Hey girl, Vantage, I love you, you know, getting to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: do all of that type of stuff. Charles Wilson, Oh
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: my gosh, I love her, you know, getting to to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: tour with those types of people, I got an opportunity
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to learn a lot, not just about the music, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: also the entertainment of it, and the give and take
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: between the audience and they aren't and most definitely the business.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You have to remember that even if this is your dream,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: there is a business very much attached to it, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I think that's what people forget. Okay, Walden Beach, Okay,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the singing pull you out of there? Are acting pulled
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you out of Fort wall The desire to sing but
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: starting to act fulled me pulled me out of Fort WALLA.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: What did this this? This is a natural skill or
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you went to your training to see that you could
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: be an excellent actress because your resume tells me that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you're in demand. I've never gone to a class acting.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I've always wanted to, always wanted to know, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And like you said, everybody's path is a little bit different.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: What I recommend it for people, absolutely not. I definitely
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: want to train, I definitely want to get into some classes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But what I've taken the opportunity to do since I've
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: been a working actress for so long, to make sure
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that I learned something with each and every character, each
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and every director from my co stars. I asked the questions.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It may seem trivial. I'm like, so why why why Blue?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to learn what's happening behind the camera.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn the financial part of it. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: really want to make sure that I'm learning each step
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of the way because I wasn't necessarily brought up in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the technical training of it. I'm still just staring at you. Said, look,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: ra Sean, I'm looking at your resume. I just rattled
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: off bounds, sts, moles, Stev, Saints and Sinator's. You sees
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a house divided. That's the house Divide is in Vancouver's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that one's in l A, l A. That's that's shot
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in l A. And then you have a motherland ashore Vancouver, Vancouver,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and House of Pain is shot here right here, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Saints and Sinators is shot here. And you're telling me,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Rashan um acting classes. Uh not yet. That's the you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you know you can you can be doing something. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes you come up with a gift like
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you seem to have a gift that you just knew
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you could motivate people. You understood the financial part of it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You also had this funny bone like you're well rounded
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and all of your gifts, but understanding how to utilize
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: them to the best of their abilities. Where the training
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: comes in and that's what I want to learn how
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to do. Listen, because we are allowed to talk about
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I want to get to Motherland because the trailer and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a I'm gonna tell you something. I'm
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a I'm a superhero. I'm a Marvel fan. You're all
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: into fantasy girl. Come on that Captain Marvel. That's my girl,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you know. You know, I just love that. You know,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Aquaman was amazing, you know, and I love female leads.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You know, Wonder Woman. I thought it was amazing. It's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: one of those movies where you know, I'm I'm a TV.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm a guy who surfers, surf surfs a TV and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: if I Wonder Woman, I'm gonna stop. I've seen this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: how many times I've seen this thing goes to going
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to see it and safe they were Aquaman, Aquaman and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so so so I'm excited when I saw the trailer
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: because it plays into my fantasy. Oh. You know, strong women,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: women who are empowered but also who are vulnerable, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that's tied to the mysteries of their power and the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: journey of becoming responsible, a responsible individual with those powers.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So tell us first how you got involved with this opportunity.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: When the script came across my desk for me to audition,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I still audition. I've been working for a really long time.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But I am not above that. That's part of this business.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So anybody who says, you know, you know, I don't
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: get it. But it came across and I was like,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you know, this is necessary. This is now. I had
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: never seen anything involving witchcraft, or or the army or
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: women this way set in an alternate universe and alternate dimension,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: maybe where women are literally the world's army. We are
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the driving force behind peace, We are the driving force
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: behind safe deep men play a much larger role in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the parenting of the children. And um, we have it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it's it's literally all the quote unquote jobs are flipped, right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But I love that you mentioned the vulnerability, because the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: power that is in these which is these women, these armies,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is the fact that they are vulnerable. They are sensual,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they are um scared, you know, all of those things
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that are taken to be weaknesses for women are toned
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: into a strength and it's a beautiful thing to see.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Now this show we're talking about Motherland's Motherland for Salem.

• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Standard time. Now, when I was watching the trailer, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: got the feeling that you had. It was it was
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of physical Oh god, yes, okay, So so
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you're you're tall, okay, and running under the wires and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of brown and crawling and things like that.

  Speaker 1: Talk about that aspect. You know, have you done anything
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that physical and or acting career? I have never been
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: blessed with the opportunity to be so straight and battered
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for money. Um, it was. It was a really cool thing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing that drew me to it, you know.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I twenty nine Team was about trying different roles, things
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that people hadn't seen me in. Um in a house divided,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I play a villain. I'm always the good girl. I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: always cheated on. You know, I always have a redemptive
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: quality and this is just such a total departure from that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: You know, those those those qualities of the character. Yes,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Charis is a fool, but with within a cost in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Motherland for Salem, getting in there and having to really
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: dig deep and find those places when I didn't think
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I had the strength, when I didn't think I had
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the power um and still figuring out how to be
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: compassionate while being a drill sergeant of sorts. You know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like a female Wesley's Nights in that thing. It's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: really really dope. It's really cool because because you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I saw like three and they sent me the official trailer,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: sound like two or three more trailers, because I got
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: excited when I saw that trailer right as other trailers
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: go back and so talk about the history a little
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: bit more. The one that they put out officially just
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: talks about the immediate you know, the media. You guys
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: been training, you guys have these powers failing and that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: why I saw the vulnerability. But it's all some good
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: trailers out there that show well, how you guys were creative,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: your your your past, this that made this opportunity in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the future. And so so what is exactly is your
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Are you a lead or you are from a standpoint
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of one of the people, one of the drill sergeants
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in there because it's a military format. You're training as
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: soldiers to protect the world. But you have these special powers.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: What is your power? I am drill sergeant, an acost
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: your quartermain, and I am the main person that teaches
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: all of the new recruits. All of the young ladies
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: who are involved in the draft have to come through
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: me at some point to make sure that they are
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: ready for life, death, and more, period, point blanket. In
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the midst of that, they're learning how to harness if
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: they even know what their powers are, their specific power,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: while understanding how to do all of these other things
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that will help them in the warcraft. So I do everything,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but you're still and tell me your power. There are seers,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there are nowhere's, there are healers. Anacostia does everything. That's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: why I have to be a drill sergeant. I have
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to be able to help them learn how to tap
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: into that in your life. Oh absolutely, I'm everyone ant
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is not laying about that gonna breakout, so no good will.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I can't compete. I barely hating what you're talking now.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I'm telling to these talent of the people coming on
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: my show just gonna bust out. On a note. You know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going like, I put the handphone, but she actually singing,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I can't play that. That wasn't bad. That was bad.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: That was bad. Don't you do me like that? Now?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: This this when you when you see a show like
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this and you see how Marvel in d C, I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: s DC as well has slip the script on women
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: empowering women, do you feel good about it? Is just
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the right time to present without question, without question. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know you mentioned Marvel and you and you mentioned
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: UM d C. But you know it's free form. Is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: part of the umbrella that is Disney. Yes, but Disney
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: has also brought us Mulan like there. There's been a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: lot of this that's kind of been there. But I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: think that the timing is so necessary because of the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: temperature that's going on in our in our culture, in
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: our sit in our country, you know, where we have
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to band together and we have to show the strength
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about, you know, equality and women's rights
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and it up, but this is really really harnessing it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And our right is to be vulnerable while we're strong.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Our right is to be pure while we're sensual, all right,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And we have so many different rights. And the thing is,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: while we're showing all of these strengths of womanhood and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: hear me, roar and all of that other stuff, we're
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: also bringing the men in and we're showing their strength
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in a different way. It's really really quite beautiful the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: way that Elliott Lawrence, the creator of this show What's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Up man Um has has kind of orchestrated this thing
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: like he's just did the House of Pain. So naturally
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you are you do have comedy comedy chops. Okay, we're
• 14:08

• 19:01
  Speaker 1: so you're back home. I noticed the cast is pretty
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: much back to lance. Gross my girl, I know, Cassie
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Davis way back in the day. She's crazy in the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: kind of way. Yeah, you absolutely can sing too. She
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: can sing to uh, Levan Davis, Alan Paine's back, who
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: am I missing, China McClain, d Shaw, Everybody's back, the Twins,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Hayden and Jade in their back like he brought in
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a puppy, everybody and the shot in his new studios. Right. Yeah,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: So when you got the call, you already got are
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: three shows happening out there, number four, that's a blessing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not teaching that way because of the fact that
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I always talk about multiple streams of income on this show,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and it means being able. To me, you've been able
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to you're doing it and right in front of us,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in front of as far as an acting capacity, but
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: on a television format, which is even more difficult. You
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: can get away with in the film, but to do
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: what you're doing in a television format, it's really slick.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: It's been, it's been different. It's been you know, And
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you say, be careful what you asked where you might
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: get it. I'm so grateful to ask. So with that
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: being said, you know, because I've had talented actresses and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: actors on the show like that. How do you how
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: do you go through the process of prepping for these scripts?
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Because they all each one of those shows are different,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: very different. So you have a sitcom, you have an
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: action adventure in Motherland sitcoms Tyler Perry Show, and then
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Satan Sentators that's like over the top drama, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and then a House Divided you play a villain, a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a niving character. You know. So those are four different Okay,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: who am I talking to now? You know? Like I said,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I you know, I think that. I think that because
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I've always grown up kind of watching people. I'm gonna
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: people watch the Observer forever and I take no parents,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: not on your got like nine people rushing to the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: front um. But I've always kind of kept these stories
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in the back of the head because I'm like, I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: might be able to play that person later. You know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting at the restaurant and people thinking, Oh, she's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: looking at my food. Nope, why are you're eating it?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: You just broke up. He's with this person. Oh my gosh,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it's a scandal. It work. You know, Like I'm thinking
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: of those things. So when I get an opportunity to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: play each of these different people, I kind of already
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: know them, and then I'm building off of the foundation
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: of what I think they might represent in somebody else
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that I've met. Okay, so these are all television opportunities.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about talking about film. Where are we at
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: with that? I want to do that, um a lot more.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I've done a little bit of the big screen. But
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm having so much fun with the longevity that comes
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: with television series. Like, you know, money management and people
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: don't know that wealth building and all of that stuff.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: People don't understand when you're an actor and you're not working. Yes,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you get residuals, but they start to do in the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: left and when you're out of a job, you're out
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: of a job. You ain't making money. So, you know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I like the longevity that comes with television shows, especially
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: with the blessings that I've had, you know, Saints and Sinners.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: If we come back in season five, House Divided, we
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: knocked out two seasons in one year. Motherland we were
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: filming for six months in Vancouver, um, and then how
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the House of Pain like that just I don't even
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: need to say nothing about that one, you know, So
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: being able to really have that longevity. I am a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: single mother and knowing where my next dime is coming
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: from has been very, very important. But hallelujah, he's grown now,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: so I'm ready to spread my wings. Jesus, no good word?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You know? Can you cook? Or what are your balance?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: See now? Why you got to custom me on? I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: got to because I gotta find a flaw. Okay, you've
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: not different characters and you can sing and you're tall,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: so cooking you can't cook? No, I can make a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: mean reservation. Whatever you want to go and problem. No
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: my son cook okay. And you you're not acting on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: this no skill, no, okay, it ain't what you want.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Burn stuff yourself you want that, So that's not part
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of the balance life. Now, I mean I can. I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: just don't like to. Don't okay, So make a mean reservation,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: mean reservation. I'll clean up, okay. Just we're just we're
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: just walking out the balanced life portion. How about working out?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Do you work out? I love to work out, okay,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: your stretcher, hot yoga or pilates, hot yoga, pilates, zoomba,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'll do weights like I like variety, okay, cool, So
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: that keeps you that kind of prepped you for Motherland Salem. Okay,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: was there a training period for you in that series?
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: We were there a month early in training, and we're
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: using different kinds of weapons, you know, and and a
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: lot of the which things of old you know, you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: saw Pippity Poppity book. They gotta stick. They got a
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: book they gotta you know, we're doing different things. The
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: weapons are different Pippity Puppity book, you know, like Cinderella,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Barry Poppins and stuff. You know your character, you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: so we're doing a lot of different stuff. But even
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: with that came a whole lot of physical training for
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: about a month before we even got started filming. In
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: that process, you know, did it anything that they did it?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: You know, like did you ever hear the wall? Like? Wow,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect going to be this much physical training.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think I hit a wall. I think I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: woke up a couple of times with my left eye
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: very like shifted over there um. And there were parts
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of me that hurt that. I mean, I've been and
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I was a basketball player, I ran track, you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I was always been very physical. But the physicality that
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: came with this, and not only that, the mental stretch
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that I had to do because I'm completely outside of
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: my my comfort zone and I'm doing this with five
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: other ladies, right, so we all had to be on
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: one of course. Oh yeah, we're in. It's still a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: military thing, so there's still drills and there's still ordered
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to this. Okay, cool, So let's we were We know

• 24:50
  Speaker 1: still in production. I've already I can get you back
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: for that. Oh yeah, let's go cool. Now, let's talk
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: about we we we've mentioned the name of these other
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: two other series. Give us more detail about your character
• 25:01

• 25:22
  Speaker 1: But it's it's really cool because she in the world
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of centers, she is kind of the lamb, but she's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: starting to come out of that a little bit. You know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: if you get bit enough, you start to bite back
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: because you know you're at the mercy of writers. But
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: they're very smart. I've been blessed to work with some really,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: really smart writers. They don't allow us to be one
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: dimensional in any stretch of the imagine because you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: on this series is very popular, you know, and it's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: from our It's kind of like, you know, we always

• 25:52
  Speaker 1: feel strong nighttime so proper with everybody connecting the doctor
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: really cool and you're being a part of that. Now,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: what comes with that? In social media recognition? How how
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: do you how do you deal with that when people
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: are recognizing you in public? How do you post? Are you?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Are you very savvy as what you post on your
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: social media? Talk about that. I recognize that social media
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is a window and I can make that window dirty
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: or I can make it clean. So I want them
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to get the best impression of who I am. I
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: try to make sure that I talk about my natural hair.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to include things about my son. I love
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you boy, um, you know. And then I try to
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: make sure that people understand the different work that I
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: have going on. But I don't want to give away
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: any teasers. And I also understand the responsibility that comes
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: with the kind of platform that I have, right so
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: when it comes to posting, I'm very, very particular, but
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: fun with ok let's talk about something that you popped
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: up because it's real big natural hair. Yeah, I mean, okay,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: what is it? What are the it's I'm assuming naturally curly? Yes, okay.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: And so are you tied to any brands? Are you
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: looking for any brands to tire your your look to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: or you just hey, this is my style. I'm gonna promoted.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I feel I'm blessed to have this skill set. Like
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: my Isacut the producer. She's big into her natural you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and always touching it and everything. Here, I'm touching my
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: ball and you know, that's what I got to work.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I got it. I had it back in the day
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: from two girls. Did you know me back then? You
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't that was too much trouble and so he k
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: don't be acting on. So the whole natural look that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you why is it so big nowadays? I think it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: just it for me and I can only speak on
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: my behalf. It was about really embracing everything of me.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't know what my natural hair texture was.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand it, and once I got it, I
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do with it. We was gonna
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: fight forever um and I've just gotten to a point
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: where now I recognized that, just like any other relationship,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: it's strengthened the relationship and the time that I take
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: for myself. You know, a lot of naturals, I know
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you don't want to get up that wash day is
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: a full moisturizing and ceiling can be a funky mess.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: You don't know which products to use, But use that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: time to just spend with yourself, like, let that be
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: your youth time. Especially the single moms, the working moms
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that were just women in general. A lot of times
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: we don't take time for ourselves, and with this, this
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: was my time to get to know me. Okay, cool,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Let's let's deal with stereotypes. Okay, cool, Like complexion, generally
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: your hair is straightened, Yeah, okay, cool, did you have
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to deal with that. Oh yeah, I was very afraid,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: especially with my industry. I didn't know how the jobs
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: were going to come once I started to rock my fro.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: But now everybody wants me to keep it, like free form.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I love them. I love them. They are so so
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: so continued. They are adamant about making sure that they
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: include diversity and just inclusion general. And when I walked
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: in with my fro for my audition, they were like,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Annacostia has a fro. We would love for you to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: keep your fro. And I absolutely adored that. So yeah,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm sure it was exciting to hear based
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: on the type of acting you have to do in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that military form, and if you would have to straighten
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: your hair would probably been a big problem. Man. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: always wondered what I do if I had a g
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Jane moment where they were like, you know, can you
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: shave your head? Let's go pray you wouldn't do it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I don't. Let's checks out there. It depends on the checks.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: There's checks, and you know, I'm sure you know zero's
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: equal bald heads. That's right. I'm glad you understand that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: You see my head ball tied to this baldness. Okay,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and just let you know that your ball got balled
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: for a reason. Okay. Used to have a barber come
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: by my house one day. I said, I'm gonna go
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: zero you out. Now that one series we have not
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: talked about it is the U M C. SID Talk
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: about that. How did you get started? And what season
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is it? We've done two seasons already. I played Carrissa. Carrissa, Carrissa,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. She comes from the wrong side of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the tracks, but she's always she was ray her parents,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: her dad was had a a bit. She's been with
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, she's been with the Robbers, she's been she
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: was raised in that life. And she's connected with this
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: wealthy man and somehow gotten his wife out of the way,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and now she had moved herself right on in and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: she's freaking havoc every which way she goes. It's really
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: really um a fun departure from anything I've ever done.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: And I get to explore some facets that you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: it's funny you step into these shoes, but you also
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: have to step into this mindset and when you get
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: to kind of feel the inner workings of somebody you know,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: kind of maniacal, but saying at the same time it's
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: different kind of feeling. She's fun. Well, all your characters
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: are fine. The thing that my biggest takeaway from you
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: here enjoying your life, the opportunity that are being presented
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: to you, and you're taking advantage of it. It doesn't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: feel you know, we all know it's work. You know
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you have to get up at a certain time, yet
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes said hours run longer than what they should be
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and sometimes in the conditions on what they should be.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: But just about dealing with it and being a professional.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: It's about maintaining relationships, I think and I feel you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: understand the value of relationship. This whole business is relationships.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: It's uh likability, and then it's talent. You know, your
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: talent can get you in the door. But if people
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: like you, if people understand that you are a hard worker,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: if people understand that you won't waste their time, you know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and on the other end, you've got to be doing
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: your due diligence to do your savings. I'm teaching my
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: son about credit and what that means and how to
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: make sure that you're saving and getting your life together.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So that should God say, you know what comes saying
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: up here? You're ready? You know, um, just really really
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: understanding the business of it, but also understanding the relationships
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and the talent that comes with it. I'm talking to
• 31:34
