- 0:52Speaker 2: if I made the list, it's because of y'all. So
- 0:54Speaker 2: y'all made the list. We was outside and then we
- 0:58Speaker 2: headed to d C. I did it live conversation with
- 1:00Speaker 2: mar Saint Martin for the HBCU First Look Film Festival,
- 1:04Speaker 2: which was an amazing conversation just about everything she's doing
- 1:08Speaker 2: in the space of not just being talent, but like
- 1:10Speaker 2: creating uh you know, television and movies and from a
- 1:15Speaker 2: very young age too. I mean she's actively doing it now,
- 1:17Speaker 2: but I mean with the with the movie Little and
- 1:20Speaker 2: doing that with her family at nine years old and
- 1:22Speaker 2: where she is now. Super inspiring conversation. I love being
- 1:25Speaker 2: in conversations with people that are doing things that I
- 1:28Speaker 2: want to do, that I am learning from. But then
- 1:32Speaker 2: following that, y'all.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Who are got little hair somewhere here on my lip?
- 1:36Speaker 2: Following at Tamaron Hall, drum roll please, Tamaron Hall aired, Yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 2: so aired live on not Live, but it aired on TV.
- 1:49Speaker 2: It aired on ABC, and then after that it also
- 1:52Speaker 2: hit their YouTube channel, So you guys will be able to,
- 1:54Speaker 2: you know, go and check that out in full. But
- 1:56Speaker 2: I definitely wanted to take some time to talk about
- 1:59Speaker 2: it full and like just react on my experience here
- 2:03Speaker 2: on the Ladies with Lorna Roses. So first of all,
- 2:05Speaker 2: let me just say that it's just it's fire for
- 2:09Speaker 2: me to be in these spaces as a person that
- 2:12Speaker 2: is like learning as I'm going. So being in the newsroom,
- 2:16Speaker 2: you know, it's a very different experience than what I'm
- 2:20Speaker 2: experiencing now with the Breakfast Club. And we've talked about this,
- 2:23Speaker 2: it's a big part of it is just like you know,
- 2:25Speaker 2: you guys get to know me a little bit more personally.
- 2:28Speaker 2: The story comes from me versus an outlet. Even if
- 2:31Speaker 2: it comes from Breakfast Club, it's me that you guys
- 2:33Speaker 2: are hearing and seeing or centering upon.
- 2:36Speaker 3: So all that has been like really new for me.
- 2:38Speaker 3: And there is good with the bad.
- 2:40Speaker 2: There is praise with the critique, but it's also been
- 2:45Speaker 2: a very different space for me because production wise, like
- 2:49Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club as a radio show is so different
- 2:52Speaker 2: than working in a newsroom where you know, there's like
- 2:56Speaker 2: it's like editorial and it's just just it's very different.
- 3:01Speaker 2: So being on the Breakfast Club and seeing the impact
- 3:04Speaker 2: of it, and I mean when I say impact, like
- 3:06Speaker 2: literally it's changed my life. And its last year year
- 3:11Speaker 2: that I've been there officially, but two years that I've
- 3:12Speaker 2: been even associated with the brand. And I was on
- 3:17Speaker 2: television in La before. So TMZ, you guys know, have
- 3:20Speaker 2: their daytime and prime time evening shows and then and
- 3:24Speaker 2: week week and in the daytime they come on in
- 3:28Speaker 2: between a lot of the big daytime talk shows like
- 3:30Speaker 2: I remember, you know us, Wendy.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Page six us.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I've said TMZ for so long when I talk about it,
- 3:36Speaker 2: I'm so used to talking about it as if I'm
- 3:37Speaker 2: still there. But TMZ used to come on and then
- 3:40Speaker 2: there'll be Wendy and the Page six had a show
- 3:42Speaker 2: at one point, and that was a lineup, and I remember,
- 3:46Speaker 2: you know, Ellen was there, and then tammeron Hall got
- 3:48Speaker 2: her show, and then Wendy.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Left and Sherry Shepard and all these things.
- 3:52Speaker 2: So to be in a space now where instead of
- 3:57Speaker 2: being as a part of a conglomerate because you know
- 4:00Speaker 2: of a brand, right like TMZ is in that conversation
- 4:03Speaker 2: and you know, gracing conversations with these shows.
- 4:06Speaker 3: It's like Laura the Rosa was on The Breakfast.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Club that I'm on the Breakfast Well, that freaks me
- 4:12Speaker 2: out still. I literally have days where I'm like, y'all,
- 4:14Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm here. But also Laura l Rosa
- 4:17Speaker 2: on Tamor and Hall, just like, wait, what I'm a
- 4:20Speaker 2: guest on Tamor Hall. And the craziest thing is is
- 4:23Speaker 2: that you know my goal I said this my first
- 4:27Speaker 2: day on the Breakfast Club, that I wanted to show.
- 4:30Speaker 2: God gave me the latest with Laura de Rosa the podcast,
- 4:34Speaker 2: and I remember doing the podcast. One of my biggest
- 4:37Speaker 2: things was trying to figure out the video. And y'all know,
- 4:39Speaker 2: it has been a labor of love for us. I
- 4:41Speaker 2: promised myself after I left Tamar Hall that I was
- 4:45Speaker 2: going to post more of my videos. And we're consistent,
- 4:48Speaker 2: like we're here, we're in the studio, the cuity looks great,
- 4:50Speaker 2: we're shooting. But it's been such a different journey being
- 4:54Speaker 2: the only person sitting and talking and like it's my opinion,
- 4:58Speaker 2: my voice, that's it. Like I don't have Charlomagne a
- 5:02Speaker 2: bounce off of or Envy or Jess or like anybody else.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I'm not in live conversation with someone like when I'm
- 5:07Speaker 2: here ninety eight percent of the time. Every now and
- 5:11Speaker 2: then we do have like guests, you know, very rarely,
- 5:14Speaker 2: it's me And I've always wanted a talk show to
- 5:17Speaker 2: be able to do that, and then God gave it
- 5:19Speaker 2: to me.
- 5:19Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, shoot, wait, guys, so you're saying.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Like like people are just gonna hear me, like in
- 5:26Speaker 2: this room, and I've had a little bit of imposter syndrome.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So even with us uploading the videos, like when I
- 5:33Speaker 2: finally get out of my own way and I upload them,
- 5:35Speaker 2: they do so well, but a lot of the audience
- 5:37Speaker 2: is always like, why you upload your video so late?
- 5:39Speaker 2: And I'm like, y'all, it takes me a lot to
- 5:41Speaker 2: just get to the point where I want to post
- 5:42Speaker 2: it and want to deal with all of the like engagement,
- 5:45Speaker 2: which is great. You guys are commenting, y'all are opinionatd
- 5:48Speaker 2: y'all agree, y'all don't agree.
- 5:49Speaker 3: It's great, But I don't know why.
- 5:51Speaker 2: It's just been a very different journey for me because
- 5:54Speaker 2: I've been asking for this for a while, so to
- 5:57Speaker 2: be on Tamor Hall and to be there during a
- 6:00Speaker 2: podcast or episode where she's literally talking to me about
- 6:04Speaker 2: things that we've done on the podcast, mainly the Diddy trial,
- 6:08Speaker 2: which was a big turning point for us and a
- 6:10Speaker 2: big turning point for me independently. I think, you know,
- 6:14Speaker 2: being on the Breakfast Club, like I said, made it
- 6:17Speaker 2: elevated things, but the Diddy trial and you know, everything
- 6:21Speaker 2: that has happened since then has been a very different
- 6:24Speaker 2: world of like it's just me, and that is very
- 6:27Speaker 2: different it's a very it's like night and day. It's
- 6:30Speaker 2: also different than the newsroom because like even if it's
- 6:34Speaker 2: just your opinion and it's just your quick take, you know,
- 6:36Speaker 2: you speaking to an affiliate, you have research to back
- 6:39Speaker 2: you up, you have editors, you have like there's so
- 6:42Speaker 2: much more that goes into it before the world gets
- 6:44Speaker 2: all of this stuff.
- 6:46Speaker 3: And I have to think like that for myself. Great
- 6:49Speaker 3: thing to learn.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Because I was talking to Marsee Martin in DC at
- 6:52Speaker 2: Howard and we'll have that conversation here on the podcast.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I'm ana get it to you guys this week so
- 6:56Speaker 2: you can hear it as well. And one of the
- 6:58Speaker 2: things she was, you know, talking about to the students
- 7:01Speaker 2: and honestly to me, I was listening, it's just about,
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know, she uses her everyday experiences and her voice
- 7:08Speaker 2: and things she likes, she doesn't like, doesn't like, her trials,
- 7:12Speaker 2: her eras you know, the hard time people give her,
- 7:16Speaker 2: not crediting her for certain things because she's so young,
- 7:18Speaker 2: and all the ups to create the content in and
- 7:21Speaker 2: know even what type of people she wants to work with.
- 7:23Speaker 3: That she does it.
- 7:24Speaker 2: And I was just listening to that, and then I
- 7:26Speaker 2: went to Tamrahan and I'm like, girl, you got like hello,
- 7:32Speaker 2: Like the the mic is on SIS, Like is this
- 7:36Speaker 2: thing on the mic.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Is on five million downloads?
- 7:40Speaker 2: Like you gotta stop, You gotta wake up like you
- 7:42Speaker 2: And I'm not asleep at the wheel, but when I
- 7:45Speaker 2: say wake up, it's more like step into it. Like
- 7:49Speaker 2: you're not an imposter. You are here, You're driving this vehicle.
- 7:52Speaker 2: The show is here, the people are tuned in. What
- 7:55Speaker 2: you gonna do about it besides step up and do
- 7:58Speaker 2: what you're gonna do what you say gonna do. And
- 8:00Speaker 2: we're delivering our episodes daily, you know, and everything as well.
- 8:03Speaker 2: On the audio side, but video y'all has been I've
- 8:06Speaker 2: been like, you gotta do better.
- 8:07Speaker 3: You're gonna do better.
- 8:08Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, my audio listeners, I will
- 8:10Speaker 2: always make sure I have audio only exclusives for you guys,
- 8:14Speaker 2: my little riders on the audio side, because y'all been
- 8:17Speaker 2: rocking me since day one. We ain't had no video,
- 8:19Speaker 2: so make sure I always do that. But being on
- 8:22Speaker 2: Tammer Hall just really motivated me to want to like
- 8:25Speaker 2: get this out there more and also the video aspect,
- 8:29Speaker 2: but also just to hone my skills, like I was
- 8:32Speaker 2: watching her navigate throughout the conversation and and you know
- 8:36Speaker 2: the first thing, you know, when we sat down, she
- 8:39Speaker 2: was just so personable. So we sat down and I'm
- 8:42Speaker 2: the crowd is going like because mind you, like, you
- 8:45Speaker 2: know they're there. They hype the crowd up before the
- 8:47Speaker 2: show starts, but when you walk out, it's just you,
- 8:49Speaker 2: the crowd and her and the reaction like we had
- 8:52Speaker 2: to wait a second for people to calm down, just
- 8:55Speaker 2: for us to speak. And I'm like, man, like all
- 8:58Speaker 2: these people are here and excited for me, let's take listen.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Goodness, Yeah, I'm getting a who w y'all y show
- 9:18Speaker 3: and jah that one a b. Thank you for joining
- 9:24Speaker 3: wherever you are good dum wow, thank you going once
- 9:33Speaker 3: for joining untow. Thank you man. I'm so excited about
- 9:40Speaker 3: this show to day. Yes kay, y'all, hi, Hi listen,
- 9:51Speaker 3: I am so excited about this show.
- 10:01Speaker 2: And when you talk about things being such a good feeling,
- 10:03Speaker 2: it's like, you know, one of my biggest things I
- 10:07Speaker 2: feel like I prioritize and I always say to myself
- 10:11Speaker 2: and maybe I'll make myself a little anxious by saying
- 10:14Speaker 2: this too, is that as much as people are like saying, hey,
- 10:17Speaker 2: we love what you do and all the things. I
- 10:20Speaker 2: want to make sure that like that's not making me
- 10:22Speaker 2: be comfortable, Like I still want to like go hard.
- 10:25Speaker 2: I still want to be inquisitive. I still want to
- 10:27Speaker 2: show up trying to learn. I still want to like
- 10:29Speaker 2: when I mess up, like Lauren, you messed up, you
- 10:31Speaker 2: gotta do better, Like I just want to make sure that,
- 10:35Speaker 2: like now that people can see it and can hear
- 10:39Speaker 2: and it's tangible. This you know, this dream that I've
- 10:41Speaker 2: had in my head for so long of like what
- 10:44Speaker 2: I would be doing, how I would be doing it.
- 10:46Speaker 2: It's literally like I'm waking up every single day, y'all.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I swear I'm doing exactly what I've always dreamed of doing, right,
- 10:53Speaker 2: But because I'm here, I just want to make sure that,
- 10:56Speaker 2: like the quality stays here as well too, the quality
- 11:00Speaker 2: of the work. So you know, I get emotional or
- 11:04Speaker 2: got emotional there because you know, it's just take a
- 11:07Speaker 2: little while. Like I am grateful every single day just
- 11:10Speaker 2: to be able to pay my bills off of the
- 11:12Speaker 2: things that I love to do. Because there was a
- 11:14Speaker 2: point in time where I was working so many other jobs,
- 11:16Speaker 2: I lived so many lives career wise, just because I
- 11:20Speaker 2: was waiting for entertainment to pay the bills. So I'm
- 11:23Speaker 2: just grateful for that as well. But it's just like
- 11:25Speaker 2: a I'm really here doing this type of thing. And
- 11:29Speaker 2: I've always heard people speak about imposter syndrome. And I
- 11:32Speaker 2: had a friend asked me one time, like, how.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Do you get over that?
- 11:35Speaker 2: Because you're in a space now where you know what
- 11:37Speaker 2: you want, You've demanded what you want and you continue
- 11:39Speaker 2: to and you know how you want people to deal
- 11:41Speaker 2: with you, and you know how to instruct people on
- 11:42Speaker 2: your team. But I feel like as you walk into
- 11:45Speaker 2: new doors and new levels and you know you're dealing
- 11:48Speaker 2: with different things, that it creaked right on back up
- 11:52Speaker 2: into you. And I was watching myself on Tamor Hall
- 11:54Speaker 2: and I realized, I'm like, you've been dealing with a
- 11:56Speaker 2: post syndrome. Like this conversation I have with tamer Hall,
- 12:01Speaker 2: and she actually brought up, you know, a good point
- 12:04Speaker 2: of you know, just fighting your way into things. And
- 12:09Speaker 2: I don't like it when people use the bully in
- 12:11Speaker 2: my way onto the Breakfast Club And that was shout
- 12:14Speaker 2: out to Carlos King that that interview I did there.
- 12:16Speaker 2: People always bring it up and always bring up that line.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And I know people bring it up because it's such
- 12:20Speaker 2: a strong, like you feel it, but I don't like
- 12:24Speaker 2: it because I don't know. I just don't want it
- 12:25Speaker 2: to sound like aggressive. But I mean, shoot, I did
- 12:30Speaker 2: keep showing up and didn't go nowhere. And another thing
- 12:34Speaker 2: too that I thought was like really interesting with Tammer
- 12:38Speaker 2: and Hall was in real time. I think I realized
- 12:43Speaker 2: what my needs she was. So me and Tamer Hall
- 12:45Speaker 2: were talking about the Diddy trial and she's talking about,
- 12:49Speaker 2: you know, because she's a seasoned journalist, like she's been
- 12:51Speaker 2: doing this for some time, and she's talking about, you know,
- 12:54Speaker 2: what drew her to the platform and she found out
- 12:57Speaker 2: about you know, the Ladies with Laurna the roads of
- 12:59Speaker 2: the podcast during trial, and I have gotten a lot
- 13:04Speaker 2: of critique about the fact that, like I take you
- 13:07Speaker 2: guys on a journey with me, I'm taking you out
- 13:09Speaker 2: to different events we on the road. I remember one
- 13:11Speaker 2: episode I did literally from the car at the BET
- 13:14Speaker 2: Awards because I needed to get an episode in and
- 13:16Speaker 2: I wanted it to be fresh right when I left
- 13:19Speaker 2: the awards show, and I refuse to go to a
- 13:21Speaker 2: studio and I refuse to do an evergreen episode, and
- 13:24Speaker 2: you know, but those episodes do so well for me,
- 13:26Speaker 2: and Tammer Hall brought up the fact that the reason
- 13:29Speaker 2: why she locked into the podcast and what made her
- 13:32Speaker 2: realize like, oh this girl has something was that raw
- 13:36Speaker 2: I'm bringing you with me, I'm barely edited. Let me
- 13:38Speaker 2: tell you how I feel for real on top of
- 13:41Speaker 2: put the story together with the facts A sick a.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Listen, we're saying, that's what I liked about and I
- 13:45Speaker 1: like about your podcast. It doesn't feel over edited. Yes,
- 13:48Speaker 1: I feel like you're kind of saying if I say
- 13:50Speaker 1: it this way, I'm gonna keep it this way. And
- 13:52Speaker 1: that's the authenticity of live reporting. Yeah, that's why I
- 13:55Speaker 1: always liked live TV because I used to tell me,
- 13:57Speaker 1: once it's out, it's out, I.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Can't get it back.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Yes, and it worked for me too because people also
- 14:01Speaker 2: didn't like it.
- 14:02Speaker 3: So now they're in the clown. Now we're getting to
- 14:05Speaker 3: the jar Art bark Well.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Did they not have liked because I love and Laura
- 14:09Speaker 1: le Rossa.
- 14:10Speaker 2: If the Break on Earth, I don't know, y'all. My
- 14:22Speaker 2: goal and going on the Tamor Hall Show was like,
- 14:24Speaker 2: I want the world to see me in this space
- 14:27Speaker 2: and be like, baby girl need a talk show. I
- 14:29Speaker 2: want network execs to see me in this space and
- 14:32Speaker 2: be like, what are we developing and why haven't we
- 14:35Speaker 2: considered lorn La Rosa?
- 14:37Speaker 3: Like that was my goal.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I have a law.
- 14:39Speaker 2: We were talking, you know, prior to this, and I
- 14:41Speaker 2: was telling, you know, my my friends. I had my
- 14:44Speaker 2: friend Sharon Fontaine shared the beat, who is a makeup artist.
- 14:48Speaker 2: She was there, she did my makeup. Dante the hairstylist,
- 14:51Speaker 2: Dante Lloyd, Dante the hairstylist did my hair. Shout out
- 14:55Speaker 2: to Diggy dig on Instagram who was the assistant stylist,
- 14:58Speaker 2: Jamon James, who's my least stylist there as well, and
- 15:02Speaker 2: of course Patrick Neary on the camp.
- 15:04Speaker 3: And all those names that I've said.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Patrick gets relatively new to the team, but he's been
- 15:07Speaker 2: working up with us since the podcast launched. But all
- 15:10Speaker 2: those names that I've said to you guys, I've known
- 15:12Speaker 2: these people since I was like twelve, thirteen years old
- 15:14Speaker 2: and we have always been doing this. Sharon has been
- 15:17Speaker 2: doing my makeup since I was modeling back in Delaware,
- 15:20Speaker 2: like in high school, middle school. Dante has been doing
- 15:24Speaker 2: my hair forever. I've known Diggie and Jayvon and you know,

- 15:34Speaker 2: different things and photo shoots and I've been you know,
- 15:36Speaker 2: amused of theirs for some time. So to be backstage
- 15:40Speaker 2: with them number one, that was emotional for me as well,
- 15:42Speaker 2: because it's such a big moment.
- 15:44Speaker 3: It's like, yo, we've gone from it.
- 15:45Speaker 2: And Jayvon James, who is my least stylist, his mom
- 15:48Speaker 2: was actually there with us as well.
- 15:50Speaker 3: She came to see the show and there's.
- 15:52Speaker 2: A moment in the vlog where she says, like, literally,
- 15:56Speaker 2: I'm trying to get my words together to react after
- 15:58Speaker 2: I filmed, and she says.
- 16:00Speaker 3: I don't know what you're emotional for.
- 16:01Speaker 2: We always knew this was going to happen, and that
- 16:03Speaker 2: got me, Oh my god, I started balling because it
- 16:07Speaker 2: literally like I've always known that this was going to
- 16:11Speaker 2: be what I was doing, So to see it.

- 16:25Speaker 2: to meet new people along your journey and you know,
- 16:28Speaker 2: bringing new people with new ideas sometimes, but I've been
- 16:31Speaker 2: blessed to be surrounded by people who have new ideas
- 16:34Speaker 2: and who have passion and who are elevating, and they've
- 16:38Speaker 2: been my tribe before, and we've been doing this together
- 16:41Speaker 2: or dreaming about these things together for a very long time.
- 16:44Speaker 2: So you know, it was just natural for me to
- 16:46Speaker 2: be like, oh wait, I can put them on payroll.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Come on, let's do it. But yeah, I was back
- 16:53Speaker 2: there on backstage and I'm telling them this is how
- 16:56Speaker 2: I want to look. Like my vision for this is
- 16:58Speaker 2: is when those ten bam, when those tam Fam doors
- 17:01Speaker 2: open and you see Laura La Rosa walk out.
- 17:04Speaker 3: I wanted to give I have arrived. This is my shelf.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Sorry Timmer, and I ain't taking your job, girl, but
- 17:10Speaker 2: I wanted you to feel that it's and like I
- 17:13Speaker 2: there were so many people who watched it and just
- 17:15Speaker 2: you know, the story resonates with them. But also I
- 17:19Speaker 2: think you know, we accomplished that goal visually, which was
- 17:22Speaker 2: for me, it's like everything with purpose, Like I don't
- 17:25Speaker 2: want to be anywhere where I don't understand why I'm
- 17:29Speaker 2: there in accordance to my purpose in my alignment from God.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Like ever, like, no matter what I'm going through whatever, listen,
- 17:37Speaker 2: I always want to be like, all right, okay, God,
- 17:40Speaker 2: Like why like why am I here?
- 17:43Speaker 3: What am I getting from this?
- 17:44Speaker 2: What is it that you I say that prayer before
- 17:46Speaker 2: I start anything, Like, God, I just want you to
- 17:48Speaker 2: speak through me.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I want people to see and feel you through me.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Let's go like, let's you know what I mean.
- 17:54Speaker 2: And whatever comes from this, whatever opportunity, I'm grateful for
- 17:57Speaker 2: it already and nothing comes from it. I'm grateful to
- 18:00Speaker 2: be here and be in conversation and I thank you
- 18:03Speaker 2: for for everything thus far. So that's always, you know,
- 18:06Speaker 2: one of the goals, and I think that we accomplished
- 18:08Speaker 2: it and it's it's been a very successful reaction.
- 18:12Speaker 3: So if you guys have checked out the podcast, I'm sorry.

- 18:29Speaker 3: I got to meet Blues Clues. What's his name? The
- 18:33Speaker 3: host from Blues Clues, y'all. I was backstage because.
- 18:37Speaker 2: They told me it was a podcast or episode where
- 18:39Speaker 2: basically she was spotlighting people who work in entertainment but
- 18:43Speaker 2: have podcasts that like are like centered between like people
- 18:47Speaker 2: and like entertainment, so like kind of like vloggish but
- 18:50Speaker 2: like entertainment and like very like. I guess all podcasts
- 18:53Speaker 2: are people based, but that are reaching people per se.
- 18:56Speaker 3: See Burns, what's is that? Spellers? That name? Okay, Steve Burns.
- 19:00Speaker 3: I got to meet him, Steve Burns.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Yes, I was backstage and we were waiting to go
- 19:05Speaker 2: because I was a top of the show, so I
- 19:07Speaker 2: was first the first segment, right.
- 19:09Speaker 3: And I look up and I'm like, is that the
- 19:11Speaker 3: guy from Blue Schools?
- 19:13Speaker 2: And we're all looking at him, and everybody wanted to
- 19:15Speaker 2: say it, and everybody wanted to ask for a picture,
- 19:16Speaker 2: but we were all nervous to because you know, sometimes
- 19:19Speaker 2: when you meet a kid like not kid, because he
- 19:23Speaker 2: was a grown man, but he appealed to kids.
- 19:26Speaker 3: He was a generational talent that spoke to children.
- 19:31Speaker 2: A lot of times, when we meet people who have
- 19:32Speaker 2: worked in that space forever and now years have passed
- 19:35Speaker 2: and are doing other things, they don't want to relive
- 19:38Speaker 2: that they don't want to be known as just that,
- 19:40Speaker 2: so I didn't want to go up to him and
- 19:41Speaker 2: be like, oh.
- 19:41Speaker 3: My god, Blue Schools.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Can we take a picture? Do you still have the
- 19:43Speaker 2: T shirt? But he was cool and I did ask,
- 19:47Speaker 2: I did take a picture. I did ask before I
- 19:49Speaker 2: took the picture, like, hey, it's good if we take
- 19:51Speaker 2: a picture. But it was exciting to hear about his
- 19:53Speaker 2: journey as well to in meet him backstage. So yeah,
- 19:56Speaker 2: shout out to Tammorun Hall.
- 19:57Speaker 3: And the team over there.
- 19:58Speaker 2: I just wanted to give you guys a little bit
- 19:59Speaker 2: of insider like behind the scenes. And well I didn't
- 20:04Speaker 2: even mention how that the moment came about. The moment
- 20:07Speaker 2: came about very organically, so you.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Know what's crazy.
- 20:11Speaker 2: I had actually been working in like the publicist like
- 20:15Speaker 2: marketing space, so when I whenever I am without work,
- 20:20Speaker 2: it's a natural thing for me to just be able
- 20:22Speaker 2: to like help people build something or tell a story
- 20:26Speaker 2: in some way, and they paid me for it. So
- 20:28Speaker 2: that is how I was sufficing when Breakfast Club wasn't
- 20:31Speaker 2: able to pay me at the time and the guest
- 20:34Speaker 2: hosting was happening and I was out of TMZ just
- 20:37Speaker 2: moved to the New York had rent. You know, I've
- 20:39Speaker 2: been doing some things with ESPN and skape writing wise,
- 20:42Speaker 2: and that came to a full stop. I was like,
- 20:45Speaker 2: all right, bet, trying to get the hustle on. So
- 20:47Speaker 2: I had a couple of brands that I was working
- 20:48Speaker 2: with in the marketing and PR space, and I was
- 20:52Speaker 2: pitching a client, Devin Loves Numbers. He is an amazing kid, genius.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Shout out to Devin Love's Numbers and their team. I've
- 21:00Speaker 2: been pitching him for all the talk shows. Jennifer Hudson,
- 21:03Speaker 2: Sherry Sheppard, Tamer Hall and I have friends at all
- 21:06Speaker 2: these shows, right from EP to producer to AP like easily,
- 21:11Speaker 2: easy phone calls, easy text, and you know, we were
- 21:14Speaker 2: able to land some things.
- 21:16Speaker 3: But in the midst of that conversation, the podcast drops.
- 21:20Speaker 2: So in the midst of this conversation, you know, the
- 21:23Speaker 2: breakfast Club, you know, stuff is happening. I get back
- 21:27Speaker 2: onto the breakfast Club, all the things happened, the podcast drops,
- 21:31Speaker 2: and one of my homegirls who works with the Tamer
- 21:33Speaker 2: Hall show, she's a producer over there, hits me up
- 21:36Speaker 2: and she's like, hey, I've been pitching you for the show.
- 21:37Speaker 3: A lot of us over here.
- 21:38Speaker 2: I've been pitching you. We want to get you on
- 21:40Speaker 2: the show. Where's trying to make it work? And there
- 21:42Speaker 2: were a couple of days ever thrown at me, dates
- 21:44Speaker 2: ever thrown at me didn't work out, and I'm like,
- 21:46Speaker 2: they're not interested, Like it's not really much for me
- 21:47Speaker 2: to talk about yet, like she has like real celebrities
- 21:50Speaker 2: on her show, Like what am I gonna talk about?
- 21:52Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 21:54Speaker 2: And that's again the producer news that's girl in me
- 22:00Speaker 2: is like you are not the story, which is I
- 22:04Speaker 2: feel like it's a great attitude for me to keep
- 22:06Speaker 2: and what I do, like I got a balance the two,
- 22:08Speaker 2: but I gotta get away from this imposter syndrome. But yeah,
- 22:10Speaker 2: so they came back again with another date and I'm like, oh,
- 22:14Speaker 2: they're serious, like they really want me to do the
- 22:16Speaker 2: show and we mean it happened And after I wrapped
- 22:20Speaker 2: the two producers one is still there, one is not
- 22:23Speaker 2: there anymore. She's formally a producer of Tammer Hall reached
- 22:26Speaker 2: out to me and was like, do you know how
- 22:27Speaker 2: epic it is that last year around this time you
- 22:30Speaker 2: was banging out our door trying to get your clients
- 22:32Speaker 2: on and now they're like, we need to have her
- 22:36Speaker 2: on this show, and not only have you on the show,
- 22:38Speaker 2: but we need to lead the show with her. We
- 22:40Speaker 2: need to have this conversation. I've been watching the podcast,
- 22:43Speaker 2: I've been watching the diddy updates. This needs to happen,
- 22:45Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, you just never know what is
- 22:49Speaker 2: in store for you, like never, And that's why I
- 22:52Speaker 2: always want to stay head down doing the work, Like
- 22:55Speaker 2: I want to make sure that that is my model,
- 22:57Speaker 2: Like if you don't know nothing else about me ever
- 23:00Speaker 2: in my career, I want people to be like, nah,
- 23:02Speaker 2: but she showed up the work though, or that girl
- 23:04Speaker 2: be working. That is literally what Brown Girl grinded is,
- 23:07Speaker 2: Like nah, that girl'll be grinding though, like she'd be hustling.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I want, and now that I'm maturing in this space
- 23:13Speaker 2: and getting to know what i want, you know, what
- 23:15Speaker 2: things I want to be attached to and what conversations
- 23:17Speaker 2: I want attached to me, I want it to be
- 23:19Speaker 2: with substance of course, Like I don't want to be
- 23:21Speaker 2: like busy going nowhere.
- 23:23Speaker 3: But Paster syndrome kicks in pretty often.
- 23:29Speaker 2: At the end of the day, guys, there's always a
- 23:31Speaker 2: lot to talk about and you guys could be anywhere
