1:30
Speaker 1: go to the fight, why didn't go? Well, the thing
1:32
Speaker 1: is that, well, yeah, why didn't we go? The truth
1:34
Speaker 1: is Mellow said he wasn't paying that much for those tickets.
1:36
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm not paying that much. They gave
1:38
Speaker 1: him a great deal, but still he was like, I'm
1:40
Speaker 1: not paying that much. And Mellow is not a Vegas person,
1:43
Speaker 1: Like I love Vegas. I could stay there for a
1:45
Speaker 1: long time. He's not into it. So he's like he
1:47
Speaker 1: wanted to fly in for the fight as soon it
1:49
Speaker 1: was over. Fly right back. I was like, I'm not
1:51
Speaker 1: going all that way for the Like we're not gonna
1:53
Speaker 1: party and it's no point. So he's like, I just
1:56
Speaker 1: rather stay here, and Mellow would rather just work out
1:58
Speaker 1: literally all day long. You feel I'm in Vegas too,
2:00
Speaker 1: if I think, like a man said, you were there
2:02
Speaker 1: que six weeks, We're there for six weeks. So honestly,
2:05
Speaker 1: after watching them fight, I mean it was great. I
2:07
Speaker 1: was so happy that Floyd one. But I was also
2:09
Speaker 1: happy we didn't come out of our pocket for all
2:11
Speaker 1: of that money. But yea, I got to host it
2:13
Speaker 1: a couple of parties and made that right back. Of
2:15
Speaker 1: course we could have we got we got some good offers,
2:17
Speaker 1: but we just chilled out. It was nice. That's great.
2:19
Speaker 1: You got multi millionaires who say I don't want to
2:21
Speaker 1: pay for tickets? What the hell was y'all? Like, I'm
2:28
Speaker 1: not always been cheating. I ain't doing that. I was
2:32
Speaker 1: like doing that, released a picture in her undy. She
2:35
Speaker 1: didn't take that picture in your crib. No, of course,
2:38
Speaker 1: not a party with night. Now you got the Power
2:49
Speaker 1: Playbook out. Yeah, the Power Playbook comes out today, which
2:51
Speaker 1: is like a really big deal. You know, I did
2:53
Speaker 1: the Love Playbook first, and that one number one, which
2:56
Speaker 1: was amazing. So now this is the Power Playbook. It's
2:58
Speaker 1: the sequel to the Love plays for Independence, Money, and success. Okay,
3:03
Speaker 1: is it really rules the success? Is it one blueprint
3:06
Speaker 1: that anybody can follow to be successful? Now? I don't
3:08
Speaker 1: think it's one blueprint that anyone can follow, but I
3:10
Speaker 1: think everyone has to figure out what their path is
3:13
Speaker 1: and that's what the book talks about. Like we all
3:15
Speaker 1: have the power to be great, but most of us
3:17
Speaker 1: just don't know it and don't know how to access it.
3:19
Speaker 1: And a lot of times with the people I talk to,
3:22
Speaker 1: we let our circumstance, like how we grew up, our family,
3:25
Speaker 1: the guys in our life, girls in our life, dictate
3:28
Speaker 1: where our life goes, instead of like finding our own power.
3:31
Speaker 1: So the book is really relatable and something that everybody
3:34
Speaker 1: can get something from. So I'm excited for it. But
3:37
Speaker 1: what I really appreciated about it is that you do
3:39
Speaker 1: show your own vulnerabilities because people look at Lila, she
3:41
Speaker 1: has a perfect life. I don't have a perfect life.
3:44
Speaker 1: But you go and the book you do go into
3:46
Speaker 1: detail about different things you're doing that like, for instance,
3:49
Speaker 1: taking on something like acting, setting those goals for yourself.
3:52
Speaker 1: But right now, because that's not something you've been doing
3:54
Speaker 1: your whole life, it is a lot of rejection. Yeah,
3:57
Speaker 1: and you talk about failure, So talk a little bit
3:59
Speaker 1: about that right now, about what you consider failure and
4:01
Speaker 1: what you can take from that. Well, in the acting world,
4:04
Speaker 1: you know, I feel a lot because I go on
4:05
Speaker 1: auditions and I don't get the job, but I work
4:07
Speaker 1: so hard at What I found with acting is see
4:09
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, acting comes naturally. For me.
4:12
Speaker 1: I had to learn acting and learn how to be
4:14
Speaker 1: good at it. It wasn't just a natural thing for me.
4:17
Speaker 1: So auditioning not getting the job, Yeah, that's in a
4:20
Speaker 1: sense of failure that you're going out there, You're putting
4:22
Speaker 1: yourself out there, and then you get told no, you're
4:24
Speaker 1: not right for whatever reason. You know, it's a letdown.
4:26
Speaker 1: But I gotta keep pushing forward and trying. And I
4:28
Speaker 1: work really hard. Last night, well everybody was chilling. I
4:31
Speaker 1: was in an acting workshop from five pm until nine
4:34
Speaker 1: thirty pm, like working, learning and people don't know that
4:38
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing in my spare time. Are you
4:40
Speaker 1: trying to improve on roles you already have? I'm just
4:43
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to continue to grow. Like you know,
4:45
Speaker 1: I'm on the show Power on the Start network, Lakisha.
4:48
Speaker 1: I'm on Power and that second season is premiering in June.
4:51
Speaker 1: So Lakeisha has grown a lot for the second season.
4:54
Speaker 1: I want to see her continue to grow. I just
4:56
Speaker 1: wrapped a movie with Lorenz Tate and Lance Gross in
4:59
Speaker 1: La about a week ago, Yeah, Deuces, So we did that.
5:03
Speaker 1: So I'm just continuing to try to get great roles
5:05
Speaker 1: and just continue to grow. Let's want a role you
5:08
Speaker 1: tried it out for that you didn't get that. She
5:09
Speaker 1: was like, damn, I wanted that one. Okay, something I
5:11
Speaker 1: tried it out for that I didn't get. Um. Yeah,
5:14
Speaker 1: you know, I went up for Barbershop three, and I
5:16
Speaker 1: really wanted that one because it felt like it could
5:19
Speaker 1: have been a great movie. And I'm I love Malcolm Lee.
5:22
Speaker 1: I always wanted to work with him. So when I
5:23
Speaker 1: didn't get that, I got really close. So when I
5:25
Speaker 1: didn't get that one, you're disappointed, you know, but you
5:28
Speaker 1: wish everybody the best and you move on and you
5:30
Speaker 1: have to believe, like what's for you, it's for you, like,
5:33
Speaker 1: and what's for somebody Else's somebody gonna be a bobble?
5:36
Speaker 1: I was. I was like doing weaves and stuff. Yeah,
5:39
Speaker 1: but I liked it because she was like, I liked it.
5:41
Speaker 1: I liked the role. But I'm sure the movie is
5:43
Speaker 1: gonna be great, And you know, you just gotta keep
5:45
Speaker 1: pushing on and what's good is it you? You also
5:46
Speaker 1: talk about not only do you if you don't get
5:48
Speaker 1: the role, it also might mean Okay, now I've sat
5:51
Speaker 1: in front of these people they know who I am,
5:53
Speaker 1: and you know they might consider me for something. And
5:56
Speaker 1: it's Joe because I mean, shout out to Malcolm Lee,
5:58
Speaker 1: who's the director of Barbershop. He wrote me and was like,
6:01
Speaker 1: you know, you did such an incredible job, like you
6:04
Speaker 1: were amazing, and he didn't have to do that. So
6:05
Speaker 1: it's great that now for the next movie he's doing,
6:08
Speaker 1: he'll remember you know that I did a good job
6:10
Speaker 1: and hopefully my dream of working with him will come
6:12
Speaker 1: true later on. And it's not acting this acting. You
6:15
Speaker 1: said that I saw any post one time you said
6:17
Speaker 1: you feel pressure when it comes to your looks, right,
6:20
Speaker 1: which I don't understand even when you walked here. It's
6:22
Speaker 1: now you're like, I feel fat. No, I don't care.
6:26
Speaker 1: Said I started a new diet today. I mean, that's women.
6:29
Speaker 1: And just she just told me, I said, she was like,
6:31
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to work out, Like it's constant.
6:33
Speaker 1: It's a constant struggle to try to keep everything together.
6:36
Speaker 1: And I think all women go through that in a
6:38
Speaker 1: different different ways. And especially for you being who you
6:42
Speaker 1: are and going on and put a picture on Instagram
6:44
Speaker 1: or somebody posting a picture of you, right, you know,
6:46
Speaker 1: a lot of people are a lot lots so beautiful,
6:48
Speaker 1: but then there's always one person that's like, yeah, of course, yeah,
6:51
Speaker 1: of course. I mean nobody's ever going to agree on anything.
6:54
Speaker 1: So I just want to feel good about, you know, myself.
6:57
Speaker 1: And I know when I'm falling off. I know when
6:59
Speaker 1: I fellow, what do you fall off? I fell off
7:01
Speaker 1: the bear wagon a little bit now, So I'm starting
7:03
Speaker 1: a new program today to try to get back on.
7:05
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Were you eating too much? Or
7:07
Speaker 1: it is that damn chef? Is that? It's just I'm
7:10
Speaker 1: a chocolate fanatic and I like cheap chocolate, like I
7:14
Speaker 1: want pick Cat, and that's the crush I want to get.
7:19
Speaker 1: Not everybody is fit like you are. Okay, I listen,
7:22
Speaker 1: I work at it too. Okay, you about my looks? Wait?
7:28
Speaker 1: Are you on diapells? You know I wasn't gonna bring
7:39
Speaker 1: that up, but wait, okay, look where the make up? Okay, okay,
7:47
Speaker 1: where whitening? But does anybody really lighten their skin? I
7:53
Speaker 1: mean that's okay, because I'm like, is that a real thing?
7:58
Speaker 1: You can actually? What happened? Why people say that about what?
8:01
Speaker 1: I'm like? I started going to see a dermatologist even
8:03
Speaker 1: my skin tone. I had the dark patches here and
8:06
Speaker 1: everything else with the complexion. You see now, So wait,
8:08
Speaker 1: you were getting peels, chemical peels? Okay, see what else?
8:15
Speaker 1: I never got that. I got a chemical peel. Okay,
8:18
Speaker 1: that's it. Have you ever had a chemical peel? Lot? No? No,
8:23
Speaker 1: because I heard you can't like leave the house for
8:25
Speaker 1: a few days, right, for a few days, like it's
8:27
Speaker 1: a it'll peel crazy. Remember when his face was peeling,
8:32
Speaker 1: it was all on his nose heels. Oh I didn't.
8:35
Speaker 1: I thought he had a bugget for real chunks of
8:40
Speaker 1: skin a snake like shedding. So why would someone do
8:44
Speaker 1: that to get the tap layer of skin? Yeah, that's
8:46
Speaker 1: all right. So do you like what you see? No,
8:54
Speaker 1: I'm just saying yeah. I mean I like when other
8:59
Speaker 1: people say, hey, your skin looks great. I think your
9:01
Speaker 1: skin looks great. But that's what I think. And then
9:04
Speaker 1: like when people be like, yo, look like you were
9:06
Speaker 1: in makeup, I'd be like, well, compliments to my dermatolity.
9:09
Speaker 1: M let's think it. Of undergoing transformations. You've also commented
9:12
Speaker 1: on Bruce Jenner, who is also undergoing a transformation and
9:15
Speaker 1: showed your support just like we're showing support for Charlottagne.
9:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a special with that as he sheds
9:25
Speaker 1: his skin. But were you shot? Were you shocked to
9:28
Speaker 1: hear about that, being that you are close with the
9:30
Speaker 1: family and everything. Um, yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say
9:33
Speaker 1: it was shocked to hear about it. But you know,
9:35
Speaker 1: I'm just I just grew up. My mom just always
9:38
Speaker 1: told me, you know, love and respect everyone. You don't
9:40
Speaker 1: know what people are going through, what battles people are having,
9:42
Speaker 1: And I just try to apply that in life, Like
9:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like to be in his shoes.
9:48
Speaker 1: I don't know what that could be like. So I
9:50
Speaker 1: just want to offer love and support because unless you
9:53
Speaker 1: walk the mind somebody's shoes, how how do you know
9:55
Speaker 1: what it feels like? Man, it's having a vagina all
9:57
Speaker 1: is cracked up to be. I think so because I
10:00
Speaker 1: and his power. I mean, it's just unfortunate that most
10:13
Speaker 1: women don't understand that and know how to use it
10:17
Speaker 1: to there to get the power. Do you talk about
10:19
Speaker 1: that in your talk about You start off the book
10:22
Speaker 1: talking about power. Yeah, so what's your definition of power?
10:25
Speaker 1: It got to be more than just I say that
10:31
Speaker 1: that was my definition of power. I think power is
10:34
Speaker 1: just finding something you love and going after it is powerful.
10:37
Speaker 1: I don't think power money or status is power. Like
10:41
Speaker 1: being happy within, getting up, doing something you love every
10:43
Speaker 1: day is powerful. Doing something for others is powerful. It's
10:46
Speaker 1: not necessarily about having the most money or the best cars.
10:49
Speaker 1: I don't equate that with power always. Even you even
10:53
Speaker 1: said that being an intern was powerful for you, and yeah,
10:56
Speaker 1: very powerful myself and ludicrous. You know, we start as
10:59
Speaker 1: interns and we worked for free and had to do
11:02
Speaker 1: any and everything, and it just helped us be disciplined
11:06
Speaker 1: from where we're at now in life. So if you
11:08
Speaker 1: look at me and Luda like we're always on time,
11:10
Speaker 1: we're like because we learned that from being interns that
11:14
Speaker 1: we apply now, you know, in our careers and stuff.
11:16
Speaker 1: Was radio ever a real love of yours? Yeah? After Yeah,
11:21
Speaker 1: and yeah, it did become a love of mine because
11:23
Speaker 1: I just found it was easy for me to be
11:25
Speaker 1: on the radio and talk and stuff. But then TV
11:27
Speaker 1: became more of a love. When I started working at MTV,
11:30
Speaker 1: that became more of a love of mine. When did
11:33
Speaker 1: you realize when you start realizing you actually had power?
11:37
Speaker 1: I started realizing I actually had power actually when I
11:40
Speaker 1: was on the radio, because I realized back then it
11:42
Speaker 1: was even a little different, Like I realized that artists
11:45
Speaker 1: would literally be willing to do almost anything to get
11:48
Speaker 1: you to co sign their song or play their record,
11:51
Speaker 1: you know, and back then there was a lot of
11:53
Speaker 1: under the table money and things going autie like that.
11:56
Speaker 1: It was a lot of yeah, not with you, but
11:59
Speaker 1: of course not with you. But still I was on
12:02
Speaker 1: the radio. So if I'm if I'm on there every
12:04
Speaker 1: day saying this song is hot, this song is hot,
12:06
Speaker 1: then people are gonna believe the song is hot. So
12:08
Speaker 1: I knew I had power them, but I never wanted
12:11
Speaker 1: to misuse it, you know. And I always just kept
12:13
Speaker 1: it in perspective, like they wouldn't be on me like
12:16
Speaker 1: this if I wasn't on the radio obviously, Like I
12:18
Speaker 1: always kept it in perspective. Did you ever have to
12:21
Speaker 1: lie to Ludicris and telling his music was hot when
12:23
Speaker 1: he first started? What it was in the beginning because
12:30
Speaker 1: y'all the show, y'all together, like, yo, you can't see this. No,
12:32
Speaker 1: it wasn't that in the beginning. It was more I
12:35
Speaker 1: was more like, you're really gonna give this radio career
12:37
Speaker 1: up there, we have to go be a rapper. It's
12:39
Speaker 1: not that I didn't think his music was good, but
12:41
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, you're gonna get a good Yeah,
12:43
Speaker 1: we got a good thing on. And he was literally
12:45
Speaker 1: said he was getting in his car and just selling
12:48
Speaker 1: his CD out the trunk of his car, which he did,
12:50
Speaker 1: and I was like, you really about to give this
12:52
Speaker 1: job up to do that. That was more on my
12:55
Speaker 1: discussion with him. I think he made the right I
12:57
Speaker 1: think one thing you don't get enough credit for it,
13:01
Speaker 1: like being an entrepreneur, you know, saying people would be like, oh,
13:03
Speaker 1: she's successful just because she's Mellow's wife, been out here
13:07
Speaker 1: right right, and yeah, Melow and I, you know, we
13:10
Speaker 1: have a great relationship, but we keep our businesses separate,
13:13
Speaker 1: you know. So I have my own businesses and he
13:15
Speaker 1: has his. But you know, I have the makeup line,
13:17
Speaker 1: the clothing line, the book, the acting, the producing. Like
13:20
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm doing well, you know, independently on
13:22
Speaker 1: my own and then it's great that we can come
13:24
Speaker 1: together and be a force together. But I have my
13:26
Speaker 1: own going on and people need to hit that. People
13:29
Speaker 1: like the power playbook, what she know about being on
13:30
Speaker 1: but that's so crazy because my life didn't start like that.
13:33
Speaker 1: Like my life started from having nothing and just building
13:37
Speaker 1: from there. I didn't come from a family with money.
13:39
Speaker 1: I definitely didn't come from a family who was in
13:41
Speaker 1: the entertainment business. Nobody knew. My mom was like, wait,
13:43
Speaker 1: you going to do what on the radio? Nobody knew
13:46
Speaker 1: what that was? Like, I just continued and and I
13:49
Speaker 1: worked my way up. So I think I have a
13:51
Speaker 1: different respect for it now because I literally had to
13:54
Speaker 1: work radio than TV, than acting, like in each thing
13:57
Speaker 1: to become really great at it. I'm sure Mellow grow
14:00
Speaker 1: up watching you on TV. He did tell me that. Well, yeah,
14:05
Speaker 1: because Clue was the one, you know, Clue introduced us
14:07
Speaker 1: and he was the one who was like, Yo, my
14:09
Speaker 1: man been watching you on TV and this and that,
14:12
Speaker 1: and I was just like what And then he was
14:14
Speaker 1: like yeah, Carmelo Anthony. And I was like, no, I'm
14:16
Speaker 1: not gonna mess around with a basketball player. Why why?
14:19
Speaker 1: Because I mean a girl wouldn't take a basketball play.
14:25
Speaker 1: He went, he went a baseball player. Basketball players get
14:29
Speaker 1: guarantee contract. That's fine, okay, But I just felt like
14:32
Speaker 1: they just come with such a stigma, like I didn't want.
14:36
Speaker 1: I didn't want that, but you made the right decision.
14:47
Speaker 1: What's going on with the reality show now? So I'm
14:49
Speaker 1: not doing reality show anymore, but I'm producing now. So
14:51
Speaker 1: I'm working on a show with Dice, I'm working on
14:54
Speaker 1: a show with Poe. So you know, I want them
14:56
Speaker 1: to continue to grow and do great things. But reality
14:59
Speaker 1: TV for me, it's not for me anymore. I mean,
15:02
Speaker 1: I loved it, I had a great run, and I
15:04
Speaker 1: just decided that I didn't want to expose so much
15:07
Speaker 1: of my personal life constantly. And I found that the
15:09
Speaker 1: reality show was hurting me in acting, which is what
15:12
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to do now. Like it was like
15:15
Speaker 1: it hurts you in the acting they look at you
15:17
Speaker 1: as a reality Yeah, they look at you like, oh,
15:20
Speaker 1: that's the reality girl, and then they don't take you seriously.
15:22
Speaker 1: Or your audition has to be a hundred times better
15:24
Speaker 1: than anybody else to even be looked at. So I
15:26
Speaker 1: had to kind of let that go to really now
15:28
Speaker 1: dive in and be taken seriously. I've heard that, but
15:31
Speaker 1: I always wondered if it was like the girls, like
15:33
Speaker 1: certain girls like from Loving Hip Hop, they'd be like
15:35
Speaker 1: I went out the audition I'm like, yeah, that's because
15:37
Speaker 1: you ratch it. I didn't. No, it's it's definitely the
15:40
Speaker 1: same thing because they just have a stigma like reality show,
15:43
Speaker 1: so you're gonna hire a reality start to be in
15:45
Speaker 1: your movie, like it's that kind of thing. So I
15:47
Speaker 1: had to let it go and it's been It was
15:50
Speaker 1: good while I did it, and it's been good since
15:52
Speaker 1: I haven't. Now you respond sometimes, so a lot of
15:54
Speaker 1: people on Instagram. I notice one time they basically said,
15:56
Speaker 1: you were raising a little blood when you're put up.
16:01
Speaker 1: I don't have any kids because my son doesn't all
16:02
Speaker 1: the time the three point you know when you sho
16:06
Speaker 1: when kids shooting three and her son posted and he
16:10
Speaker 1: was like, your son is stowing up gang signs. They
16:13
Speaker 1: went in on that and I was just like, I mean,
16:16
Speaker 1: you know, I just you gotta let people know sometimes,
16:18
Speaker 1: like let me handle minds and you handle yours. And
16:20
Speaker 1: I think with me, I don't know. So times I
16:22
Speaker 1: think it's a misconception like people. I don't know if
16:25
Speaker 1: people have the wrong idea, like like you said, like
16:27
Speaker 1: I'm just so perfect, and so that's like I'm not.
16:30
Speaker 1: I'll curse somebody out in two seconds. I don't care like,
16:34
Speaker 1: And I don't know if people I'm a tomboy really like.
16:37
Speaker 1: So when I hear like, oh, she's so glamorous and stuff,
16:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's so funny to me because I'm a
16:41
Speaker 1: sneakerhead all day. Like I think, sometimes people get it
16:45
Speaker 1: wrong and I like to remind them every once in
16:47
Speaker 1: a while. How hard is it for a woman like
16:49
Speaker 1: you to be submissive a powerful a woman. It is hard.
16:53
Speaker 1: It is hard. But I had to like teach myself
16:56
Speaker 1: that you have to do that sometimes. Do you talk
16:59
Speaker 1: about that in the book, I do talk about that.
17:00
Speaker 1: I talk about this. There is such thing as being
17:03
Speaker 1: too independent, and I see it with a lot of
17:05
Speaker 1: women that I'm around who are successful and have careers,
17:08
Speaker 1: Like you want to wear the pants in a sense,
17:10
Speaker 1: and you can't take that from your man or take
17:13
Speaker 1: that from whoever you're dating. And I had to kind
17:15
Speaker 1: of learn that should you be submissive to any man
17:18
Speaker 1: or just uh, I think you should be sick? Well, No,
17:21
Speaker 1: I think you should be submissive at times to any
17:25
Speaker 1: man that you respect. If you respect him, then you
17:28
Speaker 1: have to let him be the man at different times. Now.
17:30
Speaker 1: If you don't have respect for him, then that's a
17:32
Speaker 1: whole You could sun him all day, that's a whole
17:34
Speaker 1: different thing. But if you respect him, then you gotta
17:36
Speaker 1: know one to kind of like fall back to feel
17:39
Speaker 1: like they're needed something. Yeah. Absolutely a lot of times
17:42
Speaker 1: that a power playbook is out right now and you're

Speaker 1: is my greatest greatest joy being being a mom. Being
18:19
Speaker 1: a wife is great. We've been together for eleven years.
18:22
Speaker 1: It's like I'm married to my best friends. So we
18:25
Speaker 1: have a good time at home. It's like friends, and
18:28
Speaker 1: that's good. And then you know, acting definitely has stepped
18:31
Speaker 1: up and it's really starting to become a real career
18:34
Speaker 1: for me. So I'm happy about that. And lastly, Sierra
18:37
Speaker 1: stopped through the other Yeah, I know, and then how
18:40
Speaker 1: are you not here? On that I got a life?

18:48
Speaker 1: to see her to nice conversation, I hope. So, I
18:51
Speaker 1: hope you a new man? Have you met a new man?
18:55
Speaker 1: Being that you're her only friend in the industry, her
18:58
Speaker 1: only friend the industry, in the industry, that's not what
19:02
Speaker 1: she said, somebody here, but you got here, her only
19:08
Speaker 1: friend in the industry. That's sweet, that's sweet. I mean,
19:11
Speaker 1: she's one of my best friends in the world for many,
19:13
Speaker 1: many years. I saw you putting the football emoji under
19:15
Speaker 1: futures page. I did not I did not do that.
19:20
Speaker 1: I would never do that. Oh my god, No, no
19:23
Speaker 1: way did you meet her? Knew Boo thought, because I
19:25
Speaker 1: know that's a good friend. I haven't met anyone. I
19:29
Speaker 1: haven't met anybody. I haven't met anybody. How did uh
19:32
Speaker 1: Baltimore affect the Anthony household because Mellow from Yeah, it
19:37
Speaker 1: did affect it, like the vibe and the house was down,
19:40
Speaker 1: and Mellow was really talking to a lot of different people,
19:43
Speaker 1: political people, even checked in with the White House on
19:46
Speaker 1: like what he could do to make a difference, and
19:47
Speaker 1: he just felt like he needed to go out there,
19:49
Speaker 1: and he just jumped on a plane and went out
19:51
Speaker 1: there and protested. And then the next day is when
19:54
Speaker 1: you know, the indictment came in against the officers and stuff.
19:58
Speaker 1: So it was powerful that he he went out there.
20:00
Speaker 1: But he's like Baltimore, Ride or Die, And I thought
20:05
Speaker 1: it was really great that he wasn't just instagramming or
20:09
Speaker 1: and nothing against people who are doing that, but sometimes
20:11
Speaker 1: if you're from a place, you gotta get out there
20:13
Speaker 1: and show your face. And I think that's why people
20:17
Speaker 1: have so much respect for him. And you know, people
20:19
Speaker 1: just really like Mellow because they feel like he's one
20:23
Speaker 1: of them and relatable. He doesn't seem like he's so
20:25
Speaker 1: far over there that you can't get to him. I agree.
20:28
Speaker 1: I think he deserves better, like a better team. No, no, no,
20:32
Speaker 1: he's I feel like he deserves better with Chicago or something.
20:37
Speaker 1: How's his leg doing? He's good money. He's getting there.
20:40
Speaker 1: He's definitely getting there. He's rehabbing like a lot, so
20:43
Speaker 1: he's almost he's almost there. How do you got time
20:45
Speaker 1: to do all of this? I know you were playing nurse,
20:47
Speaker 1: you got time to act and write books and all
20:49
Speaker 1: other stuff. I don't know. I don't know, because I
20:52
Speaker 1: do kind of like do it all. When I was
20:55
Speaker 1: planning the fight party, I was like, I don't even
20:57
Speaker 1: know how. I just planned this whole party in like
20:58
Speaker 1: a day and got every thing set up and then
21:01
Speaker 1: acting class And isn't that But I don't know. I
21:03
Speaker 1: just would have it no other way. I like being busy.
21:04
Speaker 1: But you did talk about that too in your book,
21:06
Speaker 1: about putting yourself first, Yeah, and how important that is,
21:09
Speaker 1: and how you were working so hard as sleeping two
21:11
Speaker 1: hours and nights and sometimes it was really difficult. Yeah.
21:13
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I overdo it and I don't think
21:16
Speaker 1: about myself. I just think about my family and the
21:18
Speaker 1: work that has to be done. You just said it
21:20
Speaker 1: about last week that you were working so like I
21:23
Speaker 1: started to feel like I was gonna break down. I
21:24
Speaker 1: have to remind myself that I have to take care
21:26
Speaker 1: of me too, because if I'm not good. I'm not
21:29
Speaker 1: gonna be good for work. I'm not gonna be good
21:30
Speaker 1: for Cayenne, for Mall or anybody. So I have to
21:33
Speaker 1: kind of keep it in perspective because I'm such a
21:35
Speaker 1: workaholic that sometimes I go a little overboard. You're playing
21:39
Speaker 1: a lesbian in the movie coming up soon too, Like
21:42
