  Speaker 1: I was also in North Carolina for the Big Southern
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Classic HBCU Battle of the Bands. It was my first
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: time in Charlotte, my first time at the event. Energy
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: was crazy. There was like thousands of people there, like
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the HBCU space. I swear when I went to a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: HBCU I had no idea what I was embarking on,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like longevity wise, but I'm happy to be ganged.

  Speaker 2: Like the HBCU space is just.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Always so full and so feeling and so welcoming and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it's just a good time. We did get stuck or
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: like a delayed a bit in North Carolina for a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: few hours because there was like a huge tornado watch
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and shut down everything and TSA, Oh my god, y'all.

  Speaker 2: The lines were like hours and hours long.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: My videographer actually missed his flight, not because we weren't
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We were on like regular time.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: We didn't know we were going to be like the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: lines were outside of the airport. Like that's how insane
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it was. But he's home now, and he's good.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm back in New York.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's time to you know, just I'm gonna
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: settle in a bit. I'm about to just got to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: decompressed and then start getting ready for the rest of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the week. A lot to come, because there's always a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: lot happening in the latest, so let's get on into it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So Tiata Taylor, you know, has had an amazing award
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: season topped it off at the Oscars, even though she
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: did not win Best Supporting Actress, her energy was everything
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and again on our last episode, please go take a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: listen if you have not already, I talked briefly about
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just the joy that you felt watching her because everyone
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: has followed her story, her and Michael Jordan, but also
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the joy that you felt watching her because she was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: just so excited, so happy, so full of love for everybody,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and a lot of that is like, man, when you're
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in alignment and.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You get to a good space of purpose and and.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Like just all of these things, you can't help but
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to be happy for people, for everyone around you, just
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: just everything, you know what I mean.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: There was a few moments that that happened.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So you know, when Paul Thomas Anderson, who you know
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: led the film One batter after another went up on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: stage to accepted the Best Picture. Tianna Taylor was excited
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they went on stage together. She's jumping up and down
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and she puts them in like a headlock. But like
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's kind of given. Like she's growing down real quick,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: right Yo? Why is that a viral conversation now? And
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: then you know, Tiana Taylor had to tell the security
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: guard to not put his hands on her following the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: oscars that she's headed back up to take a photo
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: for Best Play with her team. So now there's a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: conversation that's happening about how we as black people should
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: act in these various spaces, which I think is bus
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But let's get.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Into, you know, kind of where we are with this
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So Sianna Taylor has been She responded to some of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the criticisms just about people who are telling her how
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: she should have acted when they won the award and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: she shouldn't have put Paul Thomas Anderson in a headlock,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, just her excitement for people. So she
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: posted the X the world holds so much misery that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: miserable hearts forget the face of happiness. They grow comfortable
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: beings or losers, so when they see real sportsmanship, it
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: unsettles them, like holy word, are touching a demon because
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: clapping for someone else's victory requires something that many people
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: never learn, how to win with grace and pure joy,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and how to lose with grace, chin up and dignity.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Like it's crazy to me that people are making this
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a thing. When I saw it, I was so happy
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for it was literally like it doesn't matter. Tiana Taylor
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: still won. Like that's how I felt watching her. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: don't know how anybody could grab anything negative or create
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: any type of conversation negatively around her excitement for other people,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: even in the category that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: She did not win.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: When they announced amy from Weapons, Tianna was one of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the first people up on her feet, so happy, so excited. Right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it's just weird, like the things that people tend to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: like pick and like hold on to.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's just it's like that's what y'all got from that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But I mean, hey, maybe it's like she said, some
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: people are just so miserable that being in a good space.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It's like it's a posturing conversation. Like and you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: y'all know I talk about God a lot on his
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: podcast and faith. And one of the things that you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: learn in your walk with you know God and getting
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: closer to your faith is that posture in the season
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of winning or losing is so important about how your
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: favor comes into your life. And that's why we're watching
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: her be blessed because she understands that disconnected from a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: lot of people, though, and I am very confused as
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to why. But there was a moment that happened in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the hallway that I mentioned earlier, where Tiana had to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: verbally tell and at first when we saw this video,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we didn't know who she was talking to. And then
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: reports surface and there was a video of her actually
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: where she was talking about what happened. That she was
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: talking to a security guard who you know, shoved her
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in a way that she did not like. So let's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a listen to the moment that happened, just so we
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: can move forward into all the new things.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: All I say, you're because you only shoved me.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: He was shoved, she said, it's important, don't know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So TMS got Tiana Taylor out after the Oscars and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: here's what she had to say about the best the video.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Whether this guy put hands on you or something to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you that you haven't.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They can't stop your shine.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: You don't you already know that stout shining.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Everybody's having a good time, and you know security was
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: just doing a lot they were doing. There were being
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: extra day. Yeah, a lot of people were wondering. I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it's nothing to wonder. I think the first thing people
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: do is definitely, you know, make assumption at the end
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of the day. I just don't tolerate disrespects as when
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it's unwarranted and it's unprovoked.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the Academy actually issued a statement as well
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: as the security company issued a statement too, But the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Academy says we were extremely upset to learn about the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: experience endured by Tiana Taylor at the end of the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Oscar ceremony last night.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: We have worked with.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Tiana over the last several months during award season and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: she has been nothing short of remarkable, supportive, con and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: all about community. Though the incident was with our outside
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: security firm, cys or Sis, the experience of every single
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: guest is our responsibility. We have made it clear to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: them that this behavior is not acceptable. We want to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: thank Tiana for show our remarkable grace and for taking
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the appropriate measures to ensure this does not happen again.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: When I saw the video, I'm like, how can you
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: be upset at Tianna Taylor.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Like for setting a boundary? No, don't put your hands
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: on me and you a grown man. No, don't do that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I don't care where she is. Don't do that at all, period. Now.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: The security company also spoke out and released a statement
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: on the incident, because you know what it was given
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Instantly when I saw it, I'm like, here go these
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: these spaces where you know everybody else is protected but us,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but you hate to turn it into that, but it's like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: here we go. So I'm glad they spoke out on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: her behalf and in her defense, because yeah, this is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: one of your stars. You gotta protect your stars. So,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: following the incident, the security company spoke out and they said,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: there was a brief interaction involving Miss Teller, the member
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of our security team during the show last evening. Our
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: security personnel were working to manage the crowded area and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: ensure the safety of all guests. During the interaction, there
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: was incidental contact.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: We regret that. We regret that the situation escalated. This
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: is not the.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Standard of professionalism we expect from our team, and we
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: have addressed the matter internally to help ensure situations like
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: this do not happen again.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: There we have it in the story like like end
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of story.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I've seen this story on every media outlet, and it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: like the conversations are being had so many different ways.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Keep your hands to yourself, protect your star, and to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: be honest, I saw some people saying like, well, she
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: should have handled it differently. She shouldn't have said or
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: she shouldn't have raised her voice because look where she's at,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: or you should have had competent security who understood that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: this is one of the leading stars of the award
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: season period, respect her as such. She's not asking for
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: somebody bow down, kiss the ring. She's just asking not
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to be shoved out of the way by a man
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: who's obviously physically stronger than her, because if she didn't
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: feel intimidated by that, she wouldn't have said anything.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Now and other ask your news. Michael B.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Jordan, who we know to come to the Award for
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Lead Actor for Sinners. During his acceptance speech, he thinks
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: well and kind of things, Jamie Fox, Will Smith, Sidney Potier,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and the men that came before him, the five men
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that came before him in the lead actor role, because
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: he is now the sixth black men to win the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Lead Actor award at the Oscars, right, in all ninety
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: eight years of.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: The Oscars, right, he made history for that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: So some of those guys have responded, including Jamie Fox.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Jamie Fox was one as well too. So let's take
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a listen to what Michael B. Jordan said at the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: award show first, throwing it back to that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Because of the people that came before me, Sidney Poitier,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Denzel Washington, Holly Day, Jamie Fox, Forrest Whitaker, Will Smith,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: and to be amongst those giants, amongst those great greats,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: amongst my ancestors, amongst my guys, thank you, everybody in
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: this room and everybody at home for supporting me over
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: my career.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I feel it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I know you guys want me to do well, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: I want to do that because you guys bet on me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: So thank you for keeping for keep betting on me.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So Jamie Fox responded and said, I can barely breathe
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: right now. You were absolutely incredible in this film, an
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: amazing actor director. Truly, all of the above. Tonight we
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: celebrate you, your talent, your mystique, and your incredible passion for
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the craft. Honestly, you deserve two Oscars for this one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: When I sat down to watch the movie, I already
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: knew it was going to be special the moment I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: saw a pair of Jordan's on the screen. The first
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: line are you guys twins? And you hit us with
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: gnoe cousins men. I was locked in from there. Congratulations
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to my brother Michael B.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Jordan.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You're operating in rare era right now. Celebrated to the fullest,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and trust me that after party is going to be crazy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: This was supposed by Jamie Fox last night, and Will
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Smith says, congrats, beloved making history.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And I think you know, I'm glad that he took.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: The moment to acknowledge all of the men that came
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: before him, specifically glad that he did not omit Will
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Smith's name because of christad would have been a whole thing.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But I say that because you know, there's always been
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: this conversation amongst people that are not us for real
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, but maybe it's not a race thing,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: but I've always felt like when I hear white people
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: talk about the Oscar slap and everything that happened Will Smith,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: not just white people when I hear non cultured people
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: who don't understand Will Smith's legacy, his cultural relevance, his
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: cultural importance to us as black people, but to the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: world in general, just as a person who told stories
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the way he did from Fresh Prince all the way through,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you know, his whole career. Right the way did they
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: talk about the Oscar slap is as if he every
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: it just disintegrated everything. And yes, it was a big
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: moment in time, and it was a big stage and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it was talked about.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: But Will Smith is still Will Smith. Will Smith still.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Broke barriers, you know what I mean, Like we needed
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to have a Will Smith and a Jamie Fox in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: order for us to get a Michael B. Jordan, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: some of us will never forget that. And I'm glad
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that Michael by Jordan.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that is it, guys.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: In the latest, just you know, a few quick updates
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: around this Oscar conversation, man, And I'm just so happy
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: for everybody, just so happy to see people achieving and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: living in that rare era that Jamie Fox talked about.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And it really does inspire me as a creative because
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes it feels like talent, real talent isn't recognized.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: On the stages that it deserves.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And I know people like to say things about you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and we talked about this in the last episode as
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: well too, not caring about accolades and not caring about
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: trophies or invites in the rooms or whatever. And it's like, yes,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I get all of that, but at the same time,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it does feel good to see people celebrated for doing
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: good work, not about followers, not about you know. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I don't take away from that either, like that followers
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and keeping those takes. There's a certain level of consistency
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: in business and all of the things that go into that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But like when you it's just a good feeling to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: see real talent rewarded on all stages. So that has
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: been another episode of the Latest with Manda Rosa. I'll
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: tell you, guys, every single episode y'all could be anywhere
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: with anybody talking about all of these things, which y'all
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: choose to be right here with me. I appreciate you
• 15:14
