  Speaker 1: I'm doing it in a way that people don't even understand.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Like people literally don't understand my trajectory. They don't understand

  Speaker 1: I think what people will give her credit for now.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We also talked about the fact that the thing that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: made can You not be able to appear on the
• 6:06

  Speaker 6: tomorrow is our last show on Broadway, so we finish
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: our We finish our run tomorrow, and it's so crazy
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: because everybody's like, oh my god, you know, y'all got
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: to bring it back. But we knew when we started
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: it that it was going to be a limited run
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: and I'm just thankful to be a part of it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, to be able to.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Say, you know, I was a producer on a show
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: that starred Dizzel Washington and Jake Jill and Hall is
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: like amazing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And it's Broadway. That's like for a lot of people.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: People were probably wondering, like, how did you even get
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: into that conversation because people may think it's out of
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: your wheelhouse, but that is such an epic thing for
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a person who's been on screen performing, right, Like.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so my career has you know, led up to
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: this point. My first one was Thoughts of a Colored Man,
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: and that was when Broadway was like first coming back
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: open after the pandemic.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And I mean, well it was during the pandemic. So
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: that was the first one.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: And now we did the Piano Lesson and we really
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: started setting records and setting you know, it was showing
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: that shows that was starred black actors, directed by a
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: black female director, had a black producing team that we
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: could still sell tickets and really because at that time
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Piano Lesson was really selling crazy amount of tickets as well.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: And I think that was like the problem prior to
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: people were scared to invest in shows that started all
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: you know, black talent.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Another big part of your life for so long was
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Real Horsworst. Atlanta decided to take this.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I did fourteen season straight. I know, looking at this season,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: you happy you stepped the way.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, they recently came out that first of all
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Kenya being let her let go from the show for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the rest of that season, that those photos that they, yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you would talked about the fact that you felt like
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the network doesn't protect their talent. But now we're finding
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: out that the photos weren't even Brittany. Brittany posted the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: statement saying that she was not in those photos, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: then she sued she sue or she dropped a suit
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: against Bravo because of you know, distress that it put
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: her through because they allegedly were supposed to have done
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this investigation.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I'm so confused how that happens.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I'm confused too.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I wasn't there, but like, what do
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you mean.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's like if you're looking at a photo, you didn't
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: tell whether it is or isn't a person, right, Yeah?
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: I mean my thing is, I like everything changed because
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: I thought at one point they were trying to say
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: she was under agent in the in the photos. So
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: how did they know that if the photo wasn't even her?
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: So who came up with that?
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Remember, they was trying to really come down heavy on Kenya.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: They was trying to say, you know that she put
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: these photos out, which was inappropriate, and then they was
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: like and at one point they were trying to say
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: and she was under age at the time, and I'm like, well.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Who said she was at the age?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: If no, if that wasn't the photos, I don't know.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: My thing is I went there. I'm glad I went there,
