  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: By the way, I did switch out your hot dogs.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Surprised she wanted beef hot dogs.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, switched it out to turkey.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Fine. Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, she will be okay with this.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: How does it get turned on? You're right? Oh, so
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: like this? Okay? Yeah, it's electric. It's electric and not
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are fans of electric.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: But unfortunately, guys, we are trick in the studio.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Oh you know what, hold on, let me cut the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: hot dog first. Yeah, go for it, do that first
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: down the I already washed my hands.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: By the way, yes, she went in our bathrooms. But
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: was it an experience?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It's lovely.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, when when we're in the Eating while Broke,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: just remember the name of the show's Eating while Broke.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So as you prepare this classic dish, when was the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: last time you had this?
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I would say the last time I had this is
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: probably within the last couple of years. Like, even though
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: this is a meal that I've aten while broke, to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: like the taste of it. It reminds me of home,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: so sometimes I have a craving for it, so I
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: definitely ate it. I love that the last year or so.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I love that. So you'll be at home and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you'll be like, you know what do I have?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I got to taste the beer.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Though, I feel like the baked beans and hot dogs
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is one of those OG classics because I think people
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: who've had this on the show like still get down.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone's different though, some people at brown sugar, some people
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at white sugar.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Which one do we have to I was thinking it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I was like, dang, should I have to ax for
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: brown or white? But as long as it is sugar,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's so funny because baked beans are
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: naturally sweet.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: But I see guests add sugar to it. I'm like, okay,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I guess you don't ask.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: You never ask sugar.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not a huge baked beans and hot dog person.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I think the most baked beans and hot dogs I've
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: ever had was on eating while broke.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It's like four times.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, So as you get in this Frina of the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: hot dogs. Why don't you take me back to what
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was going on in the original og era of baked
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: beans and hot dogs as.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: A tool of this is what we do on a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: typical day.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I would say, just growing up in Philly and living
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: at home having eight siblings and.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Eight siblings, yes eight, So you grew up in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: twin bunk with the bunk bed air.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I have my own room, been a princess. Oh okay,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you know, no, but I'm my mom's only girl. Oh yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: but I have two sisters on my dad's side, one
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: of my mom's only girl, and my household. I have
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: my own.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But that's because well, yes, you're the only Yeah exactly.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: That like she was not going to have you share
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of rambuncious boys. Them boys was probably hot.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: How many of your brothers had the share room.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Growing up to my brothers? Yeah, oh, it was just
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: too we didn't. We all didn't live together in the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: same house. I have eight siblings, but we all didn't
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: live together. At certain points in times we did.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're the youngest.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I'm the youngest girl, but I'm not the youngest child brother.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, but your second to the youngest. Yes, he was
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: definitely the princess.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I could only imagine having boys, and all of a sudden,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you get a girl.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: He was in competition on who was the baby? Yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: because I'm the baby, because I'm the girl.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess this thing on? You know what?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It looks like both of them are on.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Oh I should be on.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Do you see it red?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: No, I don't see this one. Read you said it's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: this one.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, it's red. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: turning around. I see I see the red. Matter of fact,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: let me turn on my camera.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, So on your dad's side there was sisters or
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what on your dad's.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Side, Yes, somebody said I have two sisters.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So you said that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: At some points you all lived together. But then at
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: some point you went, are.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: They're they're older than me? At some point like when
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: my years that I can remember, they were already starting
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: their lives and their family and stuff like that when
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I was still in like middle school and high school
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and stuff.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So your parents did the whole I'm going to parent
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from my entire life journey.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, and now my mom has a dog and her
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: baby her name was Chicago's, which is hilarious.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Antiter I refuse to be ampty nester.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Still being a parent, could you imagine having that many
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: kids calling you all the time, like you would have
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a bunch of kids though you do, okay, And my
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: suspect is you don't have any right now?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: No, I don't okay, Okay, got to get the right one.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Gotta get through one. Listen. Choosing who you have kids
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: with so important. I almost think it's more important than
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: who you choose to marry. True at this point, leave
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the marriage because if you do separate, you got a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: cold parent. Before.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I used to be like, I don't understand when like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: dudes have they have baby mama before they get married.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense if you're willing to have a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: kid with them, marry them or whatever.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: But I don't know a lot of guys think like that. Man,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. It's bizarre. Yeah, because it makes
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: no sense.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It makes no sense.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: No, I think we're in a we're in the new
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: age where marriage isn't really the priority and everyone's finding
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a way to avoid it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like that, Yep, they'd rather be a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: baby mama.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it boils down to and people are
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: gonna hate me for this, but I don't think they
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: want the full responsibilit Yeah, and I think women this
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is also going to probably fall weird, rarely placed in words,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: but I think women at some point thought some women thought, oh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: if you have a baby with someone, like trap them.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: But like men trapped women, men trap women for sure.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. Men definitely trap women.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: God yeah, men one hundred percent trapped women one hundred percent.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Believe that I've had excess. Tell me, like I knew
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I should have had a kid with you, like I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: knew I should have.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yet to I'm going to catch you? How about that?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I believe that. But no you are, No,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you're not. Women are pulling with so much weight right now.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: They don't they smart now exactly.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But I will say this though, for the women that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: did think that that's how you trap someone, it's actually
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: backwards because you become the bucket of responsibility. And if
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a guy is trying to avoid responsibility, you go from
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: fun girls to.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Responsibility and that changes really quickly.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So just in case you're thinking it, don't do it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: No, it's not gonna help your situation. It just makes
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it worse.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But going back to your story, eight kids, princess in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the house, parents, middle class, upper middle class, poor, I.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Will say, what's middle class?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: The middle class is you're not qualified for food stamps,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but you're getting by. I would say that's class because
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: middle class is like, you're getting by, but you don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: qualify for no breaks.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, to tell you the truth, my mom worked
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: in school system, okay. And my dad he's retired now,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: but he was a cop. Okay, so I would probably
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: say middle middle class maybe, yeah, upper middle class, maybe
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: upper upper middle class okay, okay.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Shout outs to your parents.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: And they stayed married, they stay may Yeah, they're still married. Yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: look at them, little non empty I'm still I need
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: all that that I grew up with.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And they had a blended family.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So they came and dad came in with how many.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I think four? And then your mom came in with
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: is that four? Because eight?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Four? Four or five and three?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Wait they had some kids together.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's four and four. Okay. My dad came in four.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: My mom didn't come in with four, but then chowing four, Oh,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: she had four. Yeah, so she.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Basically took on daddy plus four.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm it's a it's crazy to explain it. Okay,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I'm my mom and dad daughter. Then I have two
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: other brothers. That's my mom and dad son, and the
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: three other brothers mom and son, and then my dad
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: came in with his kids.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, so your mom was zero.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, she was a free agent, she said one plus
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: she added five five a team.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, your mom's a trooper. Shout out to your
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: mom for that period. Okay, so now you guys growing up,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: tell me, are you starting to think about acting, modeling, producing,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I've been in dance and acting in theater and all
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: that stuff my whole life. So I've been doing that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: since I was three years old. My mom had me
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: in every single thing that she could think of. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: played tennis, golf, soccer, violin, piano, everything. But what ultimately
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: stuck with me for a while with dance?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've danced all over the world. I danced professionally,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and then from there I moved into being a creator.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and what made you want to step away
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: from dance to get into being a creator.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I felt like in Philly, I felt like I've reached
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: my peak. And I had been living at home until
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I was like twenty four. Okay, so I've really had
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: a real sense of responsibilities and bills and all that
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. So I will say my eating while
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: broke really happened for me when I transitioned over to La. Okay, yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: you left Philly to come all the way over here,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: my first time moving, my first time paying my own.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Why did you go that far?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I've always wanted to live in LA and I'm like,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I'm a risk taker, so I'm like, no, I did not.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I went to one of my cousins like own a
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: bar lounge, and I went and I did hosting there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But I'll say that like two thousand dollars and I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: was like, this is enough to move me to LA.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't last about two weeks listen.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: And I booked my flight. I told I was telling
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: my mom. I kept telling her like, I'm moving to LA.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I'm moving to LA. And she didn't think that I
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: was erious because he had money. Yeah, but I'm like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I'm moving And I had reached out to friends that
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I knew that lived out there and whatever, so I
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: knew I had somewhere, I had all my in order,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: so I thought, this is after dance though, yeah, you're
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: like that said, I'm packing up, packing up now.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It was the money in dance good.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: No, I would say dance dancing doesn't really pay your
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: billing and know that until I moved to LA because
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I went out there to pursue, I was like, I'm
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: going to be Beyonce's back on dancing. Yeah, that was
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: my dream. And then I went to my first audition
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: out there and I forgot. I think it might have
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: been for Usher or for somebody, and it was like
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: so many people, hundreds and hundreds of people, and I
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: was like, okay. And then when I start seeing like
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the pay and really being it's not going to make
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: no sense.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And then I've heard different stories. But when you're in dance,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the treatment of dancers.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Is all the way great. Either, I'm not really I guess.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: It depends on who you're touring with and stuff like that,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: but I'm not really. I'm not really sure about that,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: but I just know that as far as payment through trushan.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Nope, but just put it somewhere it's eating while broke.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, I just know that as far as like living stuff,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: that wasn't gonna work for me. But I also used
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: to take a lot of pictures and stuff like that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: So one day I was doing my regular thing like
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I normally do, posting pictures of myself on social media,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: and then the brand pre little thing reached out to
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: me and yeah. They were like a fashion over type yes,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, we'll send you free clothes for
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you to post, and I'm like clothes. Okay. I had
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: moved to La I had been like staying at like
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: staying with friends, like extra rooms or on the couch
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and in my mind, I was like, I'm
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: not going back. I'm gonna make it work. My mom
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: didn't know. She knows now, but she didn't know any
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: of this. While I was out there. She would call me,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: how how are they going. I'm like, it's going great,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: going to Pop pause and getting me two wings in
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the biscuits, trying to make it work.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But you didn't want to tell her the truth because
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: you know, she would have been like, bring your home.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I'm booking. Oh my mom always had a flight ready
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: You're her Princess a flight. You ready to know that?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Now she doesn't. It's so funny because for a while
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: she was like you ready to come back. Now she's
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: finally girl, You're good.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: But does she come out to visit you?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Came out couple of times. But yeah. The brand
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: reached out to me and they sent me clothes. And
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: then from here I was like, oh, okay, I have
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: to spend money on clothes. And then I start looking
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: this might be done. And then I start looking into
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: that world and I was like, oh, you can get
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: paid from posting on social media, and then I really
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: just started diving into that and then came just me
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: having brand deals with different fashion companies Savage Fente. From there,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: that's how I started my content grating and started with
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: photos at first.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And then who was negotiating your deals for the brands?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Was it just you direct?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was just me. It was just me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Some brands will run off with the money, run off
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: with the money.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Still to this day that happens. That's why it's good
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: to have a team with you.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And what do you mean, like you post a pic
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the ghosts ghost gone.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's why it's good to have a team
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: and having people who know leave stuff and having a
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: lawyer and stuff like that so you can get your money,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: because it still happens to this day, but it's like
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: worse when it happens while broke the hell.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine too.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: The payment isn't right away either too, because for a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: lot of people they have to remember that. Like you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: could post and then that check may I show up
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: for what thirty sixty ninety days?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I knew that now, but back then I didn't know
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: all the stuff. I just thought I get my money, But.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Wasn't enough money to sustain That was quick?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was quick, little meal.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Wasn't enough money to sustain you? Though? No.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: For a long time in LA, I was, like I said,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I was like rooming with people. And then I got
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: into when I was still getting like my free clothes
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: to posts. I was a teacher's assistant when I was
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: working with kids who have autism. So I was doing
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: that for a while, and then the pandemic happened. Hey
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: that's a pay day, listen. And then that check was coming.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: When was it that check that was.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Coming every that I didn't sign up for it, but
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I know simulus.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was stimulus, but people were people are getting
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: paid more than they had ever got paid, and they
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: hold PPP.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I did PPP, by the way, I did that. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: still own money from PvP. Shout out to p PP.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But at that time there were some people that hadn't
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: even made that much. I think they were paying during
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. I want to stay between four and six
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: k a month. People were making.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I think that maybe maybe I'm wrong.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I got the one I got one thousand summer wrong,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: some one thousand a month something like this. It was
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: enough for me to pay my bills and for me
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: to feel like I was on top of the world.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, shaped in your apartment, can't go nowhere, but I
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: gas exactly.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: There was no traffic.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that? No, I was. I was scared
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: to get First of all, I court COVID, I court
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: every strand after the after the lockdown. Ain't that crazy after?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Not even during? That's because you was safe at home
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the whole time and the door. I was like, I'm no.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I was paranoid at first, and then people were like,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I God. I would come out masked up, wash my
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: hands a million times, like I was that person hands
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: hands dry because I used so much hand sanitized and
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I caught every you're hilarious.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I remember the rest of my costs COVID. They said
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I looked like death.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Oh. I was like, oh man, oh yeah I was.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not a person that takes me sick.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: COVID sucks because you can't even get attention while you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: say you tracked, because nobody want to.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: You'd be like, good luck, buddy, what you mean you're
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: not dropping off? No food?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the loneliest sickness you ever had. You'd
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: be like, come on, man, it ain't that bad.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: They'd be like, I'm good exactly exactly. Yeah. So COVID happened,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: and then I was able to at that point I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: had roommates. I have roommates, had got myself together. Whereas
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: though I could be able to afford roommate situation, and
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: that situation was crazy because I lived with two girls
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: whom they were not clean.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And that's the worst. Did you have to share a bathroom? Yes,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: because let me tell you something. To have a roommate,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the key is, don't share a bathroom. Does if you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: share a bathroom with someone that's not clean.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's the nightmare. Let me when I
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: tell you, this girl will have her pennies on the
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: door knob. Gross the shower it with me clean. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: it was at one point where I was like, I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I literally got like a housekeeper, or when I'm going
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: to come in to come like deep clean this thing,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: deep cleaned it. She deep cleaned it. I went in
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: my room to get myself ready for the shot because
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I should be able to take a shower first, because
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to for the clean you know, she
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: hopped in the bedroom for me and got in a shower.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I almost lost it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I most lost excuse me, miss, excuse me, town and
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: all get on out.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: And not only did she do that, she didn't clean
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the shower when she got out.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: So when I went and it was dirty again, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: lost dirty that quick? That dirty? That quick? Are you
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: OCD clean? Because how does it get dirty that quick?
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Dirty? And at the time I was dating somebody, so
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I wasn't. Eventually within I was dating somebody, and I
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: would and always stay at my plate and I would
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: come back and it would be on my phone like
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: a footprint. It was just no I had to get
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of their so I was dealing with that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I had a roommate situation like that once. I'm still
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: cool with the girl, but it was let's just say
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a learning lesson.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: That's my bathrooms.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Even in my house. When I bought my house, each
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: bedroom has its own on suite and then it has
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a guest bathroom. And I mainly did that because of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my experience.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Is that crazy, No, it's not. I was like, everybody's
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: gonna have their own on suite, so if you little nasty,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: little nasty, nasty little.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: To see it. I also set up camera because I
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: was not always in hilarious my room. I had cameras
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: in my.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Room and I be hilarious coming in my room. What
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: were they your friends?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: No, we like have mutual friends.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: That's weird because I always thought that if you're not
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: friends with your roommates, they respect. Because I had all
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: my roommates for the most part, exce after the one
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: we weren't friends. So it was like you just knew
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that part of the house was a no flies on.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And I heard that works because you don't know the person.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: They'd be in my room, and I saw right on
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: four k in the camera and I just was like
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: And it was to the point where it was just like, who.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Are they going in your room for? They were just looking.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: STUPIDO being ozy.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that's weird. But yeah, so that friendship
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: is over.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a friendship, it was roommates, but with my
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: safety and my personal things became an issue and I'm like, Okay,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I don't want to leave this here. I don't want
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: to leave this here, so at my boyfriend house, but
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: it was just like, why am I not leaving stuff
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: in my space? During that time, I started blowing up
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: on social media. I start putting videos out and then
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: my videos started going viral and getting attention and me
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: going live streaming and stuff. And then from there I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: was able to get more brand deal more money, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: then once I got enough, I got it out of
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: there real quick.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And at this point, you're learning how to manage your money,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: because I would imagine a check for a post can
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: make the ability to spend money go by a lot faster, right,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: because you're getting a check and you're like, I'll just
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I would say, I'm just now certain really learning how.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: To manage money.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because, like you said, when you are getting fifteen
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: K for a poll.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Fifteen K, yeah, oh my god, I would love that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: life for a post. Then you think I can do
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: this up again and I'll run it back the post.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Lo, I got this post coming up, this post? Okay, cool,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you start.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Girl math, But but you also had the situations where
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: people with brands would bounce on you. So how do
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you plan to spend your money when there's a chance.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I'm saying I've learned from that now where I don't
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: spend money that ain't in my count yet. Got it?
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes it'll be like, Okay, I can work, I
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: can do this with this, because I would think I
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: can do this with this amount because I know about
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: a thirty if this is gonna hit, And then the
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: thirtieth coming it don't hit, and you're like, yeah, you
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: can do so, I don't spend moneyny in my account yet.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And then you live on a stricter budget. Are
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: you going to feed us today? Oh yes, yeah, yeah?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Do you want to one?
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I want all of it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I want it the way you do it at home.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It's interesting on this show where you come on and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: you're the guests and you're the special guest and then
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you're cooking for me? Do you feel a little weird
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: No, I'm a wife, so I do these things okay, practice, yes,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: So did you have to learn how to live on
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a budget?
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I definitely did. I had to learn how to grocery shop,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: like not buying. It's a whole bunch of random.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Eating out all the time, fries and chicken wings.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And steak and all. I had to learn how Okay,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: don't go crazy, yeah, learn what you need. Don't get
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: a but eating out?
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, eating out. I'm a burrow down really, Yes, Yeah,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I had to learn a long time ago.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: When I first moved to La it was one of
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: my lessons was like, yo, you can look in your
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: bank account when the bills are doing be like where'd
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: my money go? And you go and you're like I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: was the younger, it would be like McDonald's Dell time.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: This was me in my younger days.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: But it would always be spent on money and I'd
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: be like, yo, you can't pay the phone bill. She
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: bought all this name fast food.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Mine definitely was hair too, okay, like I used to
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: even when I like when I first started out I
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: was wearing a synthetic beause I was having me a
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: synthetic wig, and it was like they went for about
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I would say, like fifty dollars ethetic here the last
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: day lost. I had a new wig every week.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: You aren't trying to maintain them or nothing to try
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: to make that longer.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: You can try your best, but.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: That was like my beans are touching my bun. Okay,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I could do the ketchup in the mustard. You could
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: play your place, just play your.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Oh look she's trying to hook it up there, thank
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you trying to hook it up and.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Must let me shake this. I'm a paper holic person.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I could see you're gonna have a little stack for me.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I am here, I'll put it. Okay.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So you're thriving in La, though, say how long did
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: it take for you to get the brands to be
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: more consistent where it's like your only source of income.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: This looks great, thank you, I will say, for to
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: be my only source of income, it probably took me about.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Like when I first moved to or you're like just
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: doing brand deals and no side, no like real jobs.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I would say it probably took me about two years. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: probably two years once I started doing content creating.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And you're at any point are you reaching out to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: brands too?
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I used to. I used to sit and
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I used to email brands like like a crackhead. I
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: used to just sit there and just did you create
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: your own decks and stuff? I created my own Okay,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: so you became your real owned business person. Okay, so
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: you're a business You're a business owner. Now are you
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: getting checks written directly to you or are you incorporating
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: or Starting off, it was directly too, but as I've
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: been doing it and learn knowledge of it, and then
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: this when I got a team and then I got
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: my business and stuff like that. But starting off, it
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: was just like, hey, are you going to say they
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: do PayPal like that?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And so you're learning how to deal with the tax
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: situation write off and all that stuff. But I also
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: have I have a lawyer and I have a team
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: now that helps them with because I just feel like, yeah,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm a person that, like even now,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I still micromanage.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just that person like I'm OCD like that I
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: have to know every step of the way, but I
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: also do know that I don't know everything. Yeah, so
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: that I do need a professional that knows and stuff. Yeah,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: not stone checking what you're doing. How did it go? Yeah? Cool?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: That's good because it teaches you. I think that when
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you're an entrepreneur, you should know. I don't think you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: should be the best at every job, but you should
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: have an idea of what everybody on your team does.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Like even with my show, Like, I know I don't
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: shoot the show guys, but I know how to turn
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: on the cameras and folks.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I like lot, even with the editor software,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Like I'll go in and I'll look at the editor
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: software and my editing episodes. Absolutely not my editing clips
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to know, but I at least try to play around
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: with us. Okay, this is why it even just helps
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: me better understand why I'm paying what I'm paying, because
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: sometimes you could be like I'm paying you too much.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Like exactly you're like, hold on, I can do this,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: or no, I can't do this.

• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the cheap I'll tell you right now.

• 27:46
  Speaker 3: It's a little I didn't taste the bacon, so you can.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: It tastes good. Though you know, it's like it's like
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: a savory suite. Really, thank you.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, now I'm excited for the dog, guys, And I'm
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you why she fried it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: But she fried it with a little crisp And.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: If you know anything about cooking and barbecue or anything,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that little burnt crispy in it's not I don't want
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to say burnt, but yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: That like seared, pan seared, hand seared.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, we got a pants here. If we have so
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: much right on this is this bun so bunny?
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Right, I'll just rip mine off. Here we go. I'm gone,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I'm blood.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Now do you ever fry the buns?
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I never did that before, I don't think, but that
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: might be something to add.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, guys, the reason why I'm unhealthy
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I get up to a lot of weight
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: is because I use a lot of butter. But if
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you were to open these buns and butter the pan, girl,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's good.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know about what a hot dog, but I
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: would still try because I think it all bread should
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: be buttered in a pan.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: But it adds that like extra saltiness to it. My
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: daughter will be like, Mom, go in the kitchen to
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: make me some salty bread and salted butter and bread.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I'm done. Had anybody come on cook the meal that
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: you did not like? Did you say I'm like this?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I was trying to. I was trying to see if
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: she really liked it, y'all.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I read it one person, the worst ramen dish in
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: the history of ramen.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: They made noodles.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: It was like ramen, but right the pack.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: It was like the pack of ramen.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: But he added onion, way too much onion, and he
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: overcooked the noodles. But you could just like littlely scoop
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: it and swallow all that. Bro No one should ever
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: allow you to make ramen. He was like, Oh, it's
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: not that bad. I was like, it's the worst ramen
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I've ever had.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: And most that I woul put in like we call
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: it noodles, okay, I would put hot sauce and it
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: my niece. She knew how to make her. She knows
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: how to salce hers up there. But I like, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: would just maybe hot sauce. If I were to add,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: you may be the first butter.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I think bone thugs and harmony added hot they also
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: do the big bean?
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Who did the big beans?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Honestly, we had country Wayne, we had a lot. We
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: had baked beans at least four times.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Entrepreneurs do it a lot. A couple of entrepreneurs who
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: else bake beans has been on at least four times.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I can't remember them all, but I do remember Wayne's
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: because he was particular that his baked beans had to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: be vegan. And just so you know, I never found
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: a can of baked beans that said vegan on his
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: chairs today.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Did he eat the beans? He was mad?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: The second time he said he wouldn't eat it, but
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the first time he did, but he swore it was
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a vegan can of baked beans. And I asked everyone,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: There's vegetarian baked beans, but there's no vegan bacons.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he missed that one.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: You know, you never know. They sta a label on things.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Like people always say, like the food that's just organic.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, it has one organic product and they're
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: labeling it organic and everything else.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Even the grocery store meet.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I tell people like, if you want really fresh meat,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: go to a butcher because the grocery store meat has
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: pink sign in it. You know, it has a lot
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: of filler in it.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're learning here on it eating.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: While broke broke. Okay, so how do you go from
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: creator to actress model producer? Guess model is in the creator,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: but actress producer.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: So during the pandemic, I started taking videos on TikTok
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: and I was gaining one hundred thousand followers a month.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: And from there I met someone that worked at Instagram
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: and they were like, they love my TikTok. So they
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: were like, you need posting my Instagram and I was like,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Like my Instagram feed has to look
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: a certain way. And that's why I was doing mostly
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: pictures of Malin on air. And then oh bean Cash,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: oh excuse me. I told her. I was like, okay,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: like next time you'll see me. Next time you see me,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a video posted. And I did my
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: face car video, which is what I'm known for a
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: lot on social media. Facecard never declines. So I posted
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: that video on TikTok. It got twenty million views, and
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I still hadn't posted on Instagram. And one day I
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: was just like, you know what, I'm just gonna do it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: So I posted it up on Instagram. The girl it
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: didn't even hit ten kbus. I was like, this is terrible.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I'm so embarrassed because on TikTok I'm at like twenty
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: million on Instagram.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: This wow.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: And I was just like, I'm taking a video down.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I just felt so just yucky about myself.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: You felt yucky about yourself because of the numbers, because
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: you had already acquired this certain standard for yourself.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Because because of the numbers, I felt like embarrassed thinking
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: that the whole world's looking at me. So don't remember
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: rout you once I said in that, And I didn't
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: like how it was consuming me. I was like, I'm
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: not taking a video down, like I was like, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I was gathering myself. I'm like, no argue with myself.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I'm not taking it down. I'm not gonna let this
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: video define me. Like, how do I feel like less
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: of a createater went on this other platform it's twenty million? Yeah,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: So I it's like you're mentally just messing.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Now, isn't this When TikTok already was just starting to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: do video or Instagram was just starting.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: To do video or my tripping.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure because I wasn't on the video. I
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: wasn't worried about videos. I was just picturing. But I
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: think it had already had videos off there because this
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: was probably like my first video on Instagram was probably
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: about maybe two years ago. Like I'm very like, I
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: do a lot of work, so it feels like I've
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: been doing it for so long, but I really am
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: like new. I just glew up really fast, so I
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: left the video up. I said, no, I'm leaving it up.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna make this. Let me like, let me
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: feel less of a person a creator that I'm leaving
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: it up. By like day three, it went pure. It
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: went from here all the way down there to Skyrocket.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Didn't pass TikTok and everything.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have that particular video. I'm not sure. I
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: have to look at the views on that particular one
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: if it passed TikTok. But that trend that I was doing,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I have multiple videos now on Instagram that has passed
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: the views on TikTok. But it's just like that one
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: moment where I was doubting myself and I was going
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: to delete the video and had I done that, oh
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: my gosh, I would not have accomplished all the things
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: that I've accomplished because that one video changed everything for one.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I trend crazy, My followers grew. Every video that I
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: was posting after that was going bra I was getting
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: noticed on people, more creators, I want to collab with me.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I was getting I used that traffic, and I started
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: putting my comedy videos out from that, I have people
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: notice me for acting, and then I was getting booked
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: on different stuff and then brand deals for my face card.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: And had I not had somebody, and this is why
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: every time I see her, I just tell her how
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: much I love I appreciate her because she didn't have
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: to be like on me host that video. Actually it
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: was two people at Instagram didn't have to be on
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: me post that video, posted video. But the fact that
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: they saw what I was doing on TikTok, believed in me.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: It changed everything for me. And that's why it's great
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: to have people around you that pour into you and
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: when you doubt yourself, that can see the things that
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: you can't see. Yeah, because had they not done had
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: they not done that I wanted to post it, I
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: would not have posted Yeah, I literally if I didn't
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: make that promise and say I'm gonna do it because
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I'm personally I'm a woman of my word. And if
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I say I'm gonna do something and.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: It was from someone Instagram director, yeah, yeah, from direct.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it just changed. It changed everything for me.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: And in that moment, I was like, I try to
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: be smart about it. I'm like, Okay, I have all
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: this traffic coming, but I excuse it's gonna happen. I
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: don't want to be I don't I'm like, I don't
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: want to just be known as the face card girl.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I also have other things that I like. I'm good
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: at acting. I'm very comedic. So when that traffic was
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: coming to my page, I was posting different stuff. Bile
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: the eyes is there. So I was able to build
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: a platform where people come to watch me for multiple things. Yeah,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: and not just one. Because I feel like when I
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: started on TikTok, I niche down a bit and it
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: was a it was hard for me to pull myself
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: up out of that one niche. Because TikTok first started,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: or just social media in general, years ago, it was pickanniche,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: stay at niche, staying at niche. Now it's the complete opposite.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Now everybody's doing everything. They're like multifaceted exactly. It took
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: a while for me to pull myself up out of
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: that with TikTok. So when the traffics are coming around
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: on Instagram, I was sweart enough to be like, eh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: like I need to versify itself. Do face card then comedy,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: then two face card comedy or comedy comedy face card
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: like picture. I wanted to make sure that like when
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: people were coming, they knew right away what they want
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: to get and they get stuck in his face card world.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: And then when I dropped a comedy video, it was
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: like girl, what is this? Yeah, yeah, okay.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: So then you're starting to do acting, You're just starting
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: to get into acting. Talk about how that morphosis happened.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: So I will say with acting, I've done reality TV
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: and acting, so two different things. But with acting, it
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: came along with one of my friends is also from Philly.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: His name is Jamar. We've known each other for a
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: long time and I've always been I've always will hit
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: him up because he shoots movies. He's a director of producer,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: and I always him, Hey, I want to act your thing.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I want to add when I got something for you
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: and let you know, Hey, I want to act your
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: name when I got something from let you know. And
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: then one day he called me up and I was
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: like hello, and he was like, remember I sold you
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: when I got something for you. I was like, yeah,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I got something four year old like ah. So he
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: brought me on to my project that's named Maya's House
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: that's on Prime and to Be and it's trending right
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: now that I also executive produced as well. He brought
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: me onto that project with him, and I'm grateful for
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: that because one it's with somebody that's from Philly, with
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: somebody who I've known before I blew up on social media.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: And also it was just a learning experience. I felt
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: like it was like a advanced producer actors workshop where
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I learned like the difference between creating content actually being
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: on set and film. Yeah, it was a great experience
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: with that. And then outside of that with reality TV.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: My reality TV came about because of social media. So
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: from social media and me being viral, casting directors will
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: see my page and they'll DM me and they will
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: ask me to audition for different shows and yeah, wow,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: And like I said, started with that face card video.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: It started with the face card video. But it seems
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: like there was a lot of determination in there.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, because there's a.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Lot of consistency, there's a lot of follow up on
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: your part, so never given. I think it was like
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the creator match, but like you had some serious entrepreneur
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and energy. You follow up with your acquaintance at the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: time and saying, Okay, there's an opportunity, don't forget I'm here,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I'm available.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: How did the executive producer credit come along with that?
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: He asked me, but one thing that could produce and
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I said yes. So I also was learning the business
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: side of that as well, which is completely different than
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: the creator and I had to learn that too. It
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: was like, okay, certain things like I had to know
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: that we'll make me be like, oh, well, I had
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: to know it. And because I am a producer, so
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I had to know, Okay, we've reached out to this
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: person and maybe this person or this company didn't respond,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: and then you feel that way. I was the actress,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have to know that rejection.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: But also now I want to be I would tell
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: you you got to handle the business side, so he
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: must have seen also.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: That attribute of your entrepreneurship.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got to walk aside him with that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty nice.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: That's pretty nice because to add ep to your credit
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is like a big deal in the industry.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: So where do you want to go from here?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Because of that, now, it inspired me to create my
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: own like my own stuff as well. So I'm in
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the works of creating a show. I can't talk too
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: much about it, but I'm in the works of creating
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: another show, and we're also working on part two of
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Maya's House. Yeah, I'm just trying to be I'm never
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: going to leave social media because that's my bread and butter,
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: my tunnel, yeah, and my foundation, my tunnel to everything.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm never going to stop ever being a content creator.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: But my dreams outside of that is to be a
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: list actress, breaking alongside Carrie Washington, Gabrielle Union, Denzel and
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: then also producing my own stuff in which I'm already doing.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this big deal. So it's a long run.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Now, how long has your career been, Like if you
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: would say in total from La, just from LA, I.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Will say taking it serious, I will say four years.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: So all this has happened and that's why. And it's
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: crazy because when I moved out here, there are people that,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: like in different dynamics. Like when I started off with
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: posting pictures, there were people who were models. It's like,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: gow she's doing that. I want to be like that.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I want to do that when we're with that brand,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: and I embodied it. I was surround myself with those
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: people and then I turned around I was doing the
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: same thing as them. Wow. And then I applied that
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: same thing into content creating. And then now it's like
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: people that I looked up to will see me be like, yeah,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I'm so proud of you. You inspired me so much.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, huh, but you don't even know you
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: inspire me, Like what, that's a blessing. So yeah, it's cool.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: It's like it's it's like I know what's happening, but
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: at the same time, it's like I haven't really fully
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: taken it in. And that's one thing I do need
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: to work on is that I've constantly like this, yeah,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: so I don't really get to sit. Even when my
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: billboard we were out at complex kind of my billboard
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: went up and they were like congratulations, and I was like,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: what you know? I know, because I'm always like, you're
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: onto the next thing, right, But I need to sit
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: in those moments and appreciate that because these are things
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: that I've like literally cried on my knees, like for
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: God to give me the strength, or like when I
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: felt like I wasn't good enough when I got the nose,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: because I've gotten plenty, plenty of nose. I got nose
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: from people that I work with now and you have
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: you're ildy. But also knowing not to be bitter because
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I know it does not mean you're not good. It
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: just means just in that moment, it's not for you,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: maybe for somebody else, Maybe maybe that role was for
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: You'll go into audition and you'll think like I killed
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: that audition, and then somebody got over you. But it's
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: because the eyes or their hair remind them of their niece.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: It literally can be down to that thing. It doesn't
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: even have to be or that person is somebody who's
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: a part of a friend group and relationships and stuff.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: So did it take you a long time to view
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: rejection like that?
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, it did, because I used to take a like,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: oh my goodness, I suck, but I from the hard
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: work that I put in, I know that I don't suck.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know yourself made Yeah exactly.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, I'm human. So it's still hurts. You'll
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: feel it, But then I have to sweep my mind
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: and be like, this ain't for you. You're gonna look
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: back and something else is going to happen. You'll be like, God,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: is that I can get that. That's why. So we
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: just got to take those moments and learn from it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's interesting too, because the industry has definitely
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: shifted to more of a social media slash industry. You
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: have all these mainstream actors, actresses, you'll see them buddy
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: up with content creators. One of the guys I watches,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I think his name is something Stallion. He like does
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the camera and the phone and CALLI Berry, Michael B.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Jordan's Why am I messing up? I don't remember his name.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I want him on the show too, But Jordan.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Jordan?
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: But could I want him on the show so bad?
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Yes? Remember that John got out the part of me
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: thinking remember that?
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: But no, But the truth is, you start to see
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: this so I feel like the fact that you mastered
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: the harder one, in my opinion, The harder one is
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: social media because to get past that algorithm, to get
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: past kind of learning what works and what doesn't.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: I still have my days though. I still had my
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: days where I put up a video and I was like, oh,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I thought this was gold and it ain't doing nothing.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: And one of my friends, King Batch, I remember one
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: time I had message him and I'm like, I want
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: to I was like, I want to post my face
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: card videos to my own songs I did in my
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: own face card song. I was like, I want to
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: post my face card video to my own song because
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: before I was using a different song. And I was like,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: but I don't know, like if people I want to
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: see it again. And he just was like, girl, just
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: post your stuff. An't nobody paying that much attention like this.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: He's like, just post it and if it don't do well,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: archive it, delete it whatever. It's not the end of
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: the world, I really think, especially when you get numbers.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see you're definitely paying attention to it. I
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: could see you. You get your highs and your lowers,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: pressures on pressures.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: I posted the video today and I was like, if
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: it don't hit certain my views, I'm an archive it.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: But then sometimes if.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Even after your three day story, I want to.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Say, sometimes I might really like you could now play
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: I can tell. But sometimes I really like a video
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: and I would let it sit and see what to do.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: But if it don't, I would say for a video
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: like if it if it's under the hint and k like,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: I'm okay with it, might love with the views and
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: if it's good content as well, because you and still
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: get brand deals and stuff from videos that aren't viral.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing when brands come, they don't just look. Yes,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: analytics do play a part, but also you as a
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: content creator. And so it might be a good video,
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: it might just didn't go viral, but the brand I
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: look at it, it might still like it.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, educate us. Yes what am I?
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: I did a brand deal for a face card and
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: my my video is the concept of the whole pitch
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: deck that they sent out to creators and the video
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: that they use is the one with the least amount
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: of use. I was like, oh, they chose to use
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: this one as the My mom would be like whatever
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: one got the most view. Yeah, but no, they chose
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: to use the one that had the least amount of
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: views as the blueprint to send out to the creators
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: to have them.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: That's interesting what the deal is.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's why now I'm not really too If
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: I really love the video, like it's a great video.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be like, no, we gotta have a
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: three day rule. Yeah, three days.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But like I said, if it don't, if it's
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: like at three thousand and it's, no, it's getting archived.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: But I do like that the content creators and seem
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to support each other, like Badge and Storm and all
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that whole crew. I feel like you guys really kind
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: of like the artistry and the commoditory, and I think
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: that really helps you guys collectively slash individually. I love
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: that part about content creators.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: I learned a lot from Batch when I when I
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: started doing content with him. I came in doing content
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: where there's videos where there's no talking, Like you can
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: get the picture by my movement and the music that
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I match up. You can fully get the picture. But
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: he does a lot of content where he's talking. Oh
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: it's to be so nervous pulled up to shoot content
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: with him because I was like, he's the top content creator.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, I have to be perfect when I'm
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: going here, Like I don't want them looking at me,
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: like I don't want them being like she's flowing us down,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Like I'm a perfectionist, So like I have to be perfect,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: per perfect. And then just filming with him, I just
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: learned one you don't have to be perfect. Two the
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: way to edit certain things like how long something should
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: be in the clip? How long? How long?
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because they but they mastered that six second.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: They mastered that Vine like they're they're the bad storm
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Leanne Hannah's whole crew. You gotta remember that whole crew
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: was the Vine, the originals, and those guys were nailing
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: full comedic.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: You get the full edits and and six seconds.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: And that's the difference I think between when I talk
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: to Wayne is like Wayne shoots a.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Skit like one take. He don't do no edits. You
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: do you take in your post. Yeah, but that crew
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I know the I know some of them.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know Batch personally. Shout out to Batch because
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you haven't been on the show. We didn't invite you though,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: But though that those guys really mastered the art of editing.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: And really capturing that comedic element. But I think because
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: they came from the six second Life, I can only imagine.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: But their shoot schedules, from what I remember back in
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: the day, it was like they would pick a day
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: and they would just bang out like as many ideas
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: as possible.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: That's how I shoot, Oh, for really, I will pick
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: a day, I'll see what friends are free. I will
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: bang out as many videos as I can until I
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: feel like I can't think no more.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, I like that. And are you looking
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: for videos that are more relatable? Because I feel like
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: that's where the comedy lies.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: I do stuff that's relatable. I also as far as
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: the collaborate, No, when you create content. Oh yeah, oh
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: I'm all relatable. I do a lot of stuff that's
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: relatable to women, friendship, relationships and stuff like that. So yeah,
• 48:28
