Speaker 3 (02:09):
So how's life?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
How you been? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
My goodness, life is crazy right now. I'm in LA
which is crazy, yes, the East Coast, so I've been
here for four years.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Now, but I can't lie.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I like have a love and hate relationship with California,
but I love it here like opportunity wise, you got
the beaches, you got the mountains, like you can never
be bored, right right, So I've met some dope people
along the way. But you know, it's like it's different
from the East Coast because of clearly you got to
find your tribe and everything here, so it's just a
(02:45):
different type of.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Grind than right now here. But I'm happy I'm here though, as.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Long as you're happy. Yeah, looks amazing. Thank you so
clearly you're happy. Your fashions always kill Okay, now listen,
I go right into it because and I've told.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You this all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Do you remember when I said, Melanie, I need you
to help me with my makeup, and I was like,
I need you to come to the house and.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We need to do a girls session.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And it's been on me, I know, because you were like,
Torri will just tell me and I will came, and yeah,
I will come and help you. And I have not
extended that invitation like I should have. But you're always
looking amazing, So let's talk about that. Yeah, because I'm
seeing you in a different light than maybe you see
(03:36):
yourself in.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, I know you're super talented, and I know every
talent that you have I watch, I observe. Okay, but
I don't think you give yourself enough credit when it
comes to styling, fashion and makeup.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So how did you get started in that?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I think it was more so because being an artist,
you know how we are as like we are multi
fast and multi talented, right, And I've just I've been
creative since I was young, right, And this pretty much
started in middle school for me, Like I just wanted
to do things different with my hair and you know,
learn about like beauty and fashion.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I was just always that girl, which I kind of
got a.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Little picked on a little bit back in the day
for it, which is crazy like now everybody's doing it
on social media. But I used to dye my hair,
I used to braid, twist, do my makeup. I just
always been creative in that sense. I used to I
love this the Spice Girls back in the day. Shout
out to the Spice Girls.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, shout out to the Spice Girls.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
May yes, you know, they were fashion easts when it
comes to like different so like the platforms, you know,
just like different type of vibes, and they loved like
being creative in the way of expressing their self through
their art. So kind of whatever I was feeling is
how I kind of like style myself. Sometimes I don't
need like I promise you I'll just put this on today.
(05:02):
I didn't go and try to find a fit and
go shopping or anything like that. It's just like it
comes to me. It's almost like an up North thing too,
like people from New York and stuff like that, where
they just like they'll go to the grocery store, but
they'll be dressed right now, right.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So that's just that's just been my vibe since very young.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So what spice girl, would you say that you relate
to the most okay scary spice.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right? Yeah, but yup. So it's just kind of like
been a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think it goes hand in hand to for everything
that I do as well in the industry.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Because sometimes it gets expensive and.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Then if people are not you know, if people aren't
doing your hair or your makeup the way that suits
you or fits you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's just like it's like.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I I've learned to know how to do it myself,
so then I don't have to be, you know, mad
about what I look like on set at shows. I
just make sure you know, I'm taking care of that department.
Well listen that that's in real life, period, because that's
another thing like you know, being a woman and just
stepping out and having to look good, you know, for
(06:07):
your man because you're married and you've been married a
long time and you're a mother is yeah okay, yeah,
and a great mother because your son just graduated high school.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
All right, give it up for that.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We made it hard, you know what I mean. I mean,
that's a lot, and you're mallanton being a mother, being
a wife, you know, being an artist and not just
one side of artistry. You now you're multifaceted, you know,
So how do you find the time to do all
(06:45):
of that? Like, I'm not going to even hold you,
like I I kind of like go through seasons of
my life.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay. Is like I'm a very spiritual person.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So whatever is pushing me or guiding me into a direction,
that's kind of like where I gravitate to you. So
I've had a season of the music and only the music,
the season of the movies. Right now, I'm in motherhood season.
Since I've been here for four for four years now,
I promise you, I've been out and I've been outside
(07:14):
a little bit, and I'm I'm still grinding audition and
doing things when it comes to my career.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But I feel like.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
The kids at these years that they're in teenage years.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You gotta be on ass.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You gotta present business, you gotta be constantly motivating, mothering
however you parenting, however you want to put it. But
you really like that's that has been my focus kind
of as of late. So I just kind of find
ways to kind of balance it and still where I'm
not neglecting too much of you know, the career and
(07:46):
everything like that too.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But I do prioritize, you know what I mean, and right.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Now with the way that these kids are as teenagers
and this is you know, this generation is set up.
You know these what are they call like gen Z's
our gen Z the Waiians again, yeah, the Waiians.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Is out here.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, so exactly, so you know that kind of has
been really my priority, especially getting my son to graduate. Yes,
and he's so handsome, thank you, He's extremely handsome.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Girl. You did all the work that you know. No,
I just like you. No, I cannot say that.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I mean we ran into each other at the last
track meet, that is so see Valley, Yes, your son
was running, Hendrix was running. So you got them all. Now,
before I go into that, where are you from on
the East Coast?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So originally I'm from the being, I'm from.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Boston, from Rock Boston, you know, New Edition, you know
all that stuff. Originally, but I spent majority of my
life in the d M B area. So okay, ce Maryland, Virginia,
I've been. I ran through that whole entire area and
we lived in Atlanta for like two years and then
now California.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Okay, so you said we lived in Atlanta for two years.
You just like kind of like lighter past that right right?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, so living in Atlanta but now Boston as well.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Right the outfit? Did you create this outfit?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
No, I just picked pieces like with something that stands
out to me or speaks to me.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I just picked the pieces.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Like really dope, like you know pretty much the accent
pieces come later, but a main piece and then everything
else just in my closet.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Ends up like just going would I figure out? So okay,
it just works.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Now do you feel like your pieces has helped you
get into the industry, like the way you dress and
how you do your hair and make up? Okay, I
would say I landed Queen and Slim for my look.
Really yeah, first thing because they found me actually on
ig shot out to Instagram. They slid in my BM
(10:07):
but they really loved my look. Back then, I went
by the name five, I remember.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I used to wear the long raids, all the colorful
long braids, all the way downside the floor and you
know I'm tatted up.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You guys can't see it right now.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I'm tatted and I just had again with the
fashion and stuff like that. I just had this look
that people feel like gravitated towards.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And at first I thought it was a catfish. I'm
not even gonna hold you. I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But it ended up being legit, so I would definitely
say my look has definitely got me where I am. Okay, interesting,
So when they hit you up right, you thought it
was a catfish?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So what made you say? You know what?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Let me figure out if this.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Is real or not.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I actually did my research and then I was, you know,
I was talking to family members and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Like, do you guys this is legit because you know
people be in your DM.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Just all the time, right, okay, not.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just like and it was a random person too. It
was actually the casting agency, so I thought it was
like a fake page or something like that. But then
I did my research about the actual movie, the movie
title Queen and Slim, and when I seen all the
things pop up, I was like, oh. And then I
seen Lean Await attached to it and Daniel car Luja,
and I was just like.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh, yeah, this is this is real. Let me, let
me take.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
This seriously, right, So I DMed back and then the
rest was history from there.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Okay, so you DM them back?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, and what did you say when you DM them back?
I apologized because I had her waiting for some time
because I just left it in there because you know,
I wasn't sure about it, and I let her know like.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I thought there was a catfish.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But I'm so happy you guys reached out and how
did you find me? And she told me that it
was actually a photographer from that is related to Molina
that kind of like found me on and told her
to ask me if you know I would audition. So
I was like, oh, acting like I knew how to,
(12:08):
like it goes hand in hand with music, right, with
music videos and writing up in school and stuff like
that and doing theater and things like that. But I
was like, this is a big role, Like this is
a speaking role, like this is lights camera action like that,
you know, a phone.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
In front of your face, you know you're doing school. No,
this is real, the real deal. So I was like, oh,
can I do this? And I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I was kind of like doubting myself in a sense,
and trying to make excuses in my head not to
do it. But my family was just like, girl, are
you crazy when the opportunity falls in your lap like this,
Like what are you think it's like for you? This
is this was meant to be, Like this is a
part of your journey. So I was like, Okay, you
know what, I'm gonna do it. And I auditioned, auditioned
(12:51):
with my man or whatever, and he did the he
did Bouquines scene there was when your husband did.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's an awful World.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So our scene, like we just was feeding off of
each other. It was kind of like, you know, like
that chemistry that we already had. I think that also
helped you with landing the role or whatever. He was
acting pretty much too goddamn, and I was, you know,
it just made me like really put my my all
into the audition. And I was nervous at first. I
(13:23):
was like, I am probably you know, I'm the first
time for this. They've probably got so many other actresses
that have a resume, right, But I will never forget
the casting agent, Teresa. She called me back and she
was telling me to come a audition for something else.
She was like, but but like just threw it in
there like randomly. But by the way, you landed the
role for Naomi for Queen and Slim and I was
(13:46):
just like, oh, what, well, that is an energy. Yeah,
it's a syenergy, and it's also a look and that.
Like I said that, that goes back to with you
being so multi talented, you know, and sometimes I know,
as people in the industry, we focus on one thing,
but we forget all these other things are there? Yeah, okay,
(14:09):
so you get the role, okay, and this is this
is this, Yeah, this is a truth Cinderella story fact
that you would you say that?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yes, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Because when we moved to Atlanta, I was it's crazy,
sorry because I you know, media in spirits and everything
like that.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I was like, please talking to my creator or.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Whatever, like universe, please let me know and even take
all the things out of my life that weren't meant
to be in my life.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But I had an.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Opportunity between love and hip hop reality television, which we're
not gonna look, we look, we don't want to because listen,
you know how many people came from that, so we
you know, but I get what you're saying, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yes, you have to do in that in that space.
So I was like, you know, and then I when.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It had to come do with the like going up
under like Stevie j and all that, so I was
just like do I want to and you know scripted
at the end of the day too, and I was like, please,
like show me a sign, let me know if this
is supposed to be for me. Right then Queen and
Slim happened and I was just like, well, damn, I
guess it's not.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Direction right.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So it's just crazy, you know how that situation just unfolded,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And it was kind of almost like a wrap from.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
There because it gave me to that confidence, you know,
and in okay, like this is this is it? You
know because even with being in Atlanta, that opportunity came.
I feel like too for me moving around the way
that I was moving around in Atlanta as well, the grind,
the things that I was doing, I was outside girl.
Like I when I said I was being that that concrete,
(15:47):
I was being that concrete.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So being here in California.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
And kind of like seeing the difference, that's the only
thing that I would say I do miss about Ato
is that booked and busyness right of right, constantly just
being in the mix of things and the opportunity. But honestly,
I can't truly, I can't complain because I feel like
we're I'm in kind of like an a sea like
I was telling you on the season, where if I
(16:13):
stay consistent like I've been doing, you know, these things
will come.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So well, here's the thing too.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You know in Atlanta, you feel like you were probably
constantly on the grind grind, grind, grind, grind, And I
love Atlanta. Shout out to Atlanta because I've done so
much in Atlanta. The podcast started in Atlanta, and then
also reality TV show in Atlanta. I shoot movies in
Atlanta and everything. So I loved Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, what's where I'm negtive?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah right, you know, but you have to like after
you know, and it's different. You go to different cities
to explore things and teach you different things. Yeah okay,
so you got what you needed to get from Atlanta.
Did you take acting classes in Atlanta?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I didn't take acting classes.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Honestly, when I was on that set, I was I
was acting classes because being okayuned people like Bokeem would
buying right, you know, Daniel Colley, Like, these people have
been in major films, you know, so it's like they
pulled that out of you, like where it's like you
gotta be on their level because if you ain't nothing
(17:25):
on their level, you're gonna be looking like him, like
you're going to be looking like you cannot act.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
They're going to embarrashi. Yes please, they will embarrash. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But I love that about it too because when it
was like when they were given mear all, it just
made me go harder, like all right, right, and everybody
would ask me like, oh, this is your first time,
it's your first time on set, this is your first
time acting, and I'm just like yeah, but they're like dang,
like I'm surprised. So for me, that was a compliment.
That was a big compliment. And you're what's funny too,
(17:54):
is that scene, that infamous scene between me and Bokem
and the house that was improv Okay, Lena did write
some of the things that were in there for sure,
like the way that I was going in the direction,
but like towards the end when me and him get
into it and all that stuff that was just like
straight off of our chemistry and our energy. So it's
(18:14):
just kind of like that let me know, like, oh
I can.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Do this for real, you know, like this this.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Can be something bigger than what I thought my career
would be in a sense of I'm just going to
be this artist and I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Like it made me feel like, oh wow, there's actually
like potential for something even bigger. So right, So, okay,
so you're on set. You're on set with bookin wood
Buy Daniel Kolugian. I'm trying to think who, Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Model, she was a popular model, but okay, that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Was her first role, that was I didn't know that
was her first role yep, and in India more okay,
you know the same thing.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Model she was on polls already.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, so honey, are you a model and you that's
something else you need to add to the role. That's
one thing I've never done, believe it or not, Because
clearly you're a model. You were amongst a bunch of models.
So do you not realize that maybe you should.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Be modeling as well? Maybe I should add that to
the resume as well, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Okay, has anybody ever told you you should be modeling, yeah,
for like for ink and stuff like that, for sure,
because I actually have adult I had a dope tattoo
artists shot off to my tattoo artists back at home.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Dave, he did most of my inca And people.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Always be like, why don't you do like ink magazine
and this and this and this and that, and I
was just like, no, no, no, never really took it serious.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But you know, probably now that I think about it
now too.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And when I was in my prime, like back in
my like spring Chicken days, you know whatever, in my
twenties and stuff, I was like, maybe I could have
really went somewhere with it, but I don't know. I
just never really pursued it for real. I just was
focused on, which I still am in a sense.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
The music.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That's the first love, that's the passion, that's I know, Melanie.
But it sounds like to me, okay, and this is
just me being your friend.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You always keep it real.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It sounds like to me, I have to be really honest,
you're blocking a lot of blessings. Excuse me, I mean
that that's just what I'm feeling.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I mean, because.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't tell me everything I need to hear.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I tell you this all the time.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I tell you how I feel like you're so multi talented.
And I say this, and I know sometimes you don't
want to hear because in your mind this is just
what it's supposed to be right or in your vision right.
But other people see and this is just me. I
see so much. I see you as an artist. I
see you at you know, fashionista, You're beautiful, a model.
(20:56):
You know how to do hair, you know how to
do makeup, you know how to dress, you know how
to act.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I mean you, You're multi faceted. So why do you
feel like you have this block? Because there's a lot
of people out here that have blocks, and not just
in the industry, but in everyday life. They block a
lot of blessings because they listen to the negative voices
into the positive voices. It's so funny that you say
(21:23):
that that I would say that that has been definitely
an issue for me in the past. But if we
go back to just kind of like the seasons that
I've been in, I feel like I get distracted a lot,
Like I get set on one thing because I'm just
trying to achieve this goal right, So that happened with
the acting. So I'm just like, oh, I got to
just audition and I got to put my one hundred
(21:45):
percent in the acting thing because now this is kind
of like popping right now for me because of this
movie that just happens. So now I have to you know,
piggyback off of that and go hard with that. That
then I start neglecting you know, the music, right, neglecting
other little things that are going on in my life.
And I know, like you said that there is definitely
room for whether it is the styling aspect, the makeup,
(22:08):
the here, the modeling like all these other things. But
it's like, I don't want to get sidetracked when you're
like so focused on, you know, trying.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
To achieve that that goal.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
So I think that's kind of like my problem is
not being able to juggle like like do them all
like collectively, you know how some people like Jamie Fox,
he's a comedian, he's an artist, he's an actor, he's
all these things, and he knows how to just put
it together and it all works. So that's kind of
like what I'm still navigating through, you know, and trying
(22:39):
to figure out how you do it.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, do you not realize you're doing it?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I know in a sense because it's just like I think,
I'm so distracted with the grind of getting to where
I need to get, you know what I mean, Like
when you're just kind of like to have this tunnel
vision and all these other things are just kind of
like you know that it's here.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
But no, you do it every day.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I watch you're doing it on your social media.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Number One. Okay, you get on there, you post.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That's not easy, Okay, you post, you post working out,
you post on your makeup, you post your hair, you
post your family, which your family is so fucking beautiful.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Listen, I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I love your husband, your your children are beautiful. Like
I said, you just got your son off, he just graduated,
your girls are up next.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay, So do you not realize you're doing everything right now?
That you say is a process, but you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I just have to find out how I can make
the money that I need to make off of it.
I feel like we're in a generation now too, with
these young people making so much money on your social media.
It's like I'm just trying to find that formula that
works to wear it because it is, like you said
with posting that it's hard, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Time consuming, It is time consuming, it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And then you're trying to figure out the algorithm of Instagram.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And what we're oh viral? What will blow up and not?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
And Okay, are they gonna gravitate towards the fact that
I'm my actress?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Are they gravitating towards the music? Like what it? You
know what I mean? So, but can I say something what.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Those people that you may be looking at, they weren't
in Queen and.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Slim, they weren't in Super Turn.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, they don't have a husband and three beautiful kids.
So while you're focusing on what that is right, they
don't have what you have right and successful and beautiful
and doing it.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So I feel like, you know, maybe you're not realizing
really who you are. That could be though, Yeah, that
can definitely be a factor for sure, because I feel
like we are always our toughest you know, critic man,
We are always the ones that normally are blocking our
(25:15):
blessings when it comes to certain.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And I think that has to do with fair like doubt,
you know, all these things. And you know, even life
in today's world we live in right now in society.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is just you know a little crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
But one thing about me for sure, though, I'm I'm consistent.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I ain't come this far to come this far now.
So do you sleep?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Because I know you say because you get sleep? Because
you know as an artist that you know everybody say
no sleep, no sleep?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Do you get sleep?
Speaker 2 (25:49):
You may will tell you I'm up. He thinks I'm
a vampire, but are you? Is that why he's addicted?
But no, for real, Like I feel like too, because
I have so many different grinds because I don't I
don't just do the the acting and the music for income.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know, I have all several sources of income. I'm grinding.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We have a goal that we're trying to achieve being
here in California.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We have kids, we have dogs, yeah you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Like we have a lifestyle, right, you know what I mean.
So it's just kind of like it's a constant grind
for me. And I do still feel like I do
a decent job at balancing, balancing everything out. It's just
like I just have to like here, I just have
to find my footing, and you told me this when
I first came here, Like, don't you be consistent?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It takes a while.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
You just I know it might be hor when you
first come here and you might be down on yourself
about certain things, or don't don't let that distract you.
So I always keep that in the back of my
head too, because I sometimes I do be like, God, damn, California.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Do I gotta get on a plane?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Do I know? I gotta get go back to Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Like you So, No, there's a lot of artists here.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You You landed in the place where everybody comes, and
we're talking about from across the globe, not just from
a small you know sector.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So and then you know.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
You got you got black, you got white, you got Asian,
you Gotydian. What would you what is your nationality?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What would you say? Because you know, you're very racially ambiguous.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I'm black, honestly, Like my mom, her father is full
full Native American and her mother is African American. My
dad's mother is Jamaican and his father is Canadian, but
he's a black Canadian, right, Okay?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You know black?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
But you know, like Pharrell, like I just I identify because
you know how people are with the husband's whole identity
identity thing right now.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But I identify as a black woman. Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
So yeah, so okay, because because I was just thinking
maybe also as far as h you know, the roles
you want to do, you know, you might want to
explore for sure other ethnicities because you are racially ambiguous,
(28:24):
so you might have this in your head too as
far as the acting goes. And then when you're posting
certain videos and you're doing certain things online, somebody else
can gravitate because you did get the queen and Slim role.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
They came to.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You, which I would say, I don't know if anybody's
ever dm me. I mean people dm me to collaborate
and do stuff all the time, but it wasn't for
a queen and Slim type role. Okay, so that's a
big deal. Okay, So go easy on yourself with right.
(28:58):
And I also feel like because I don't want to
get type casted because I did play you know, a
sex worker in Queen and Slim, So it's like, you
don't want to get type casted into.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh now you're in all of these type.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Of you know, because it happens especially to black women
in this industry.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
So I was just like, well, California.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Is probably the place to be to to you know,
be able to show people, you know, that I can
do anything and I can do what what do you need?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I got you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Like, So, I think that was one of the reasons
too that I was so excited about coming here.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
But then when I got here, the strike happened. So
I was just like, WHOA, what is going on?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So we had to sit down for a little bit,
but it never stopped me from still like auditioning and
other opportunities, and you know, social media helped during COVID
and things like that. So, like you said, like posting
and everything like that, I don't like sitting still because
when you sit still, you start getting in your idle mind.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah what they say, that's the devil WORKO.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So I'm constantly doing stuff, you know, rightly, staying busy.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
And that's how I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know. I like the challenge. I know some people
just want it to all come to them and just whatever.
I don't know, I got to go out and get it.
I love like the grind. Honestly, I've doing it for
so long, and I know it's going to be rewarding
once I do finally get there, because I feel like
every time the door is opening, it's like the universe
be like.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And a bitch sit down, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
But it's not that it's just what they say, you know,
like it's the redirection because when the strike happened, because
you might have been going this way, but when the
strike happened, did you do music?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yes? Okay, all right, I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Always still in the studio. I'm still constantly creating and
putting out music. So that's because you know, that's my
first love, that's the passion, right, So it's like I
always have that.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
If I know I don't have anything.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Else, I'm always going to have the music and perform
and you know, get in the studio and just being
authentically who I am because I write you know what
I mean, I saying I rap all these things. So
it's like that's kind of like the bag. I'm also
trying to get into out here of writing for other
artists and you know, getting on in any type of
(31:17):
way that I can or whatever, but still doing what
I love because I am I can honestly say that
I am definitely blessed in a sense of I am
living my dream for real, Like I am doing everything
that I said I was going to do, and I'm
doing actually my passion and.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
What I love.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
So I always think I always think about that because sometimes,
you know, you can get lost and just be.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Like, why isn't this Why am I not here yet?
Or why does this.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Person get to get on for being a hawk to
you girl or some you know, like stuff like that,
And it's just kind of like, I got to stop
being distracted when it comes to those things. Well, and
you have to stop comparing. Yeah, that party, you can't
compare it, because I'm telling you, when I look at
you what you're saying, I see.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Something completely different, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Like I look at your beautiful family, I look at
your talent, I look at your beauty. I see everything happening.
But it's in a timing. Because that's another thing the
industry will make you feel like if you didn't get
it at twenty, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's not going to happen, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, if you didn't get it at thirty, it's not
going to happen. And you didn't get a forty it's
not going to happen. But there's so many artists that
are coming out now at a certain age and it's
that specific role that's catered to them and it puts
them where they need to be, you know what I mean.
And maybe right now God has your focus on your girls,
(32:46):
you know, getting your son out of high school. Yeah, definitely,
you know, yeah, no, no, I know, because that's what
the universe has been kind of like guiding here and
making sure that my family's straight and all that other
stuff is going to be there right right, Like the
industry is gonna be there all that, but your kids,
that's like right now.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
And most people don't have that. They don't have that.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
So maybe me and you, because we've talked about this
before doing music together, Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Mean, how did I sit you bet there?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I know, I know, and then listen and but here's
here's another thing.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Here's another thing.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No, it's like you say, Okay, in those moments, I may.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Have been over here and you know what I mean, sure,
and so you're doing your thing.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And that's one of the things that inspire me to
because for you to be so authentically you and still
being able to move around in this industry the way
that you want to move.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
That's goals to me. But it's not easy. I'll be
I'll be honest. There's that. Listen.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Sure there has been periods of.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Time, but I moved over. You've been in my house.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I moved there because I was like, I'm done with
the industry.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I'm away.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I was like, I'm moving, I'm away, I'm done with everybody.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I can't take it. Everybody's fucking faith. I went through
that period.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I thought I was done.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
But you know what, Yeah, yeah, I was like, yeah,
you're not nothing, You're not Yeah. Literally after I moved
into my house, probably like maybe a couple of weeks later,
I got a booking and I was like, Okay, I'm
not done, but now I'm stuck.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm stuck there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
So you know you can't think that at all, especially
four years in LA that's really that's that's no time
at all, And you're not willing to do the casting couch,
none of the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
So you know.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
You're gonna be harder.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I'm just telling you, hilarious.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I'm just saying people that have substance and they have
family and they you know, it's the road is going
to be harder.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, no, you know what I mean. So you mean
no exactly?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, yeah, we we know, we know how this industry
is easy to get on the top if you do
certain things. So yeah, yeah, but it's I feel like too,
it's it's hard work, it's dedication, it's you know, and
sometimes you have to create your own lane, right and
create a platform for yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
And I feel like you're doing all of that and
I appreciate it. Yeah you are.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm telling you, I'm watching that. I'm always like, I
love this. I don't know if you see my comments.
I don't know if you see it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
But that's what I say about you.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You're always supportive in that sense of the realist person
that I've met.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
He comes to Actually you're.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Supporting, you know what I mean, Like, don't have this
crab and a barrel mentality as in, you know, you
meet people and it's just like they don't want to
see you doing you know, anybody doing better than them.
You've never gave me that energy. You've always been truly
a girl's girl since I've met Yeah, because you were
probably like the only person too on Super Turn that
(36:04):
that spoke and had a conversation.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It's serious out of all the actors on set, but
you and Adrian.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Okay, I'm gonna talk to man about that, because one.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Thing about it when we are on movie sets, and
especially the sets that I'm a part of, I don't
play that people not speaking to people and that we
all there for a collective group and we're there to
make sure that the project succeeds. So if people are
walking around and then I speak, and then that's not
going to be a successful project. And then yeah, and
(36:36):
then you being toriy heart too, I was dope because I.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Was just like, oh, she's humble as fuck. You know,
you actually had a conversation. So yeah, I appreciate you always.
You got it, Melanie, Thank you five? Right, Okay, now.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
What's next for you?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
So right now, I've just been in the studio like crazy,
working on the Hoe fully an EP, so crossing my
fingers with that. You know, I've been auditioning as well
like crazy. I'm just hoping some of the projects too
that I have been not only auditioning before for, but
have actually done, like pilots and things like that that
(37:15):
but COVID, you know, we're still trying to figure out
what's going on with funding and things like that. But
hopefully you guys see me again on screen really soon. Yes, so, well,
you were in one of the biggest films okay and
yes and on Netflix, y'all finally right now, go check
(37:35):

part of her, I have to get my butt cut open.
Speaker 2 (00:26):

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And I'm back with another episode of Brutally Honest with
Tory Hart live from Los Angeles, California, And tonight I
have a very special guess. She was a part of
a movie. Okay, that's one of the sures I would
(01:03):
have to say. It's it's in that new echelon. Okay,
new echelon of being for the culture.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Queen is slim.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah would you say that, Melo? Yes, yeah, you will
say that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
We met on the set of a film that I
executive produced and start in Super Turned.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
She did her thing.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
She is an artist, she's an actress, she's a fashion
me stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
She's a makeup artist. She just she that bitch.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, I need y'all to make some noise and give
it up for my girl, missus Melanie half Kenny.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And get it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Sorry, because I'm so happy you're doing this, Like if
anybody was gonna do it, it had.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
To be you. Like, I'm so proud of you. I mean,
so the name Chef's kiss a thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Mell sure for sure one of the realists I know
out here, especially in La.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Y'all heard her? Okay for sure? For sure for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So how's life?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
How you been? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
My goodness, life is crazy right now. I'm in LA
which is crazy, yes, the East Coast, so I've been
here for four years.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Now, but I can't lie.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I like have a love and hate relationship with California,
but I love it here like opportunity wise, you got
the beaches, you got the mountains, like you can never
be bored, right right, So I've met some dope people
along the way. But you know, it's like it's different
from the East Coast because of clearly you got to
find your tribe and everything here, so it's just a
(02:45):
different type of.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Grind than right now here. But I'm happy I'm here though, as.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Long as you're happy. Yeah, looks amazing. Thank you so
clearly you're happy. Your fashions always kill Okay, now listen,
I go right into it because and I've told.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You this all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Do you remember when I said, Melanie, I need you
to help me with my makeup, and I was like,
I need you to come to the house and.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We need to do a girls session.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And it's been on me, I know, because you were like,
Torri will just tell me and I will came, and yeah,
I will come and help you. And I have not
extended that invitation like I should have. But you're always
looking amazing, So let's talk about that. Yeah, because I'm
seeing you in a different light than maybe you see
(03:36):
yourself in.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, I know you're super talented, and I know every
talent that you have I watch, I observe. Okay, but
I don't think you give yourself enough credit when it
comes to styling, fashion and makeup.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So how did you get started in that?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I think it was more so because being an artist,
you know how we are as like we are multi
fast and multi talented, right, And I've just I've been
creative since I was young, right, And this pretty much
started in middle school for me, Like I just wanted
to do things different with my hair and you know,
learn about like beauty and fashion.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I was just always that girl, which I kind of
got a.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Little picked on a little bit back in the day
for it, which is crazy like now everybody's doing it
on social media. But I used to dye my hair,
I used to braid, twist, do my makeup. I just
always been creative in that sense. I used to I
love this the Spice Girls back in the day. Shout
out to the Spice Girls.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, shout out to the Spice Girls.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
May yes, you know, they were fashion easts when it
comes to like different so like the platforms, you know,
just like different type of vibes, and they loved like
being creative in the way of expressing their self through
their art. So kind of whatever I was feeling is
how I kind of like style myself. Sometimes I don't
need like I promise you I'll just put this on today.
(05:02):
I didn't go and try to find a fit and
go shopping or anything like that. It's just like it
comes to me. It's almost like an up North thing too,
like people from New York and stuff like that, where
they just like they'll go to the grocery store, but
they'll be dressed right now, right.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So that's just that's just been my vibe since very young.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So what spice girl, would you say that you relate
to the most okay scary spice.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right? Yeah, but yup. So it's just kind of like
been a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think it goes hand in hand to for everything
that I do as well in the industry.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Because sometimes it gets expensive and.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Then if people are not you know, if people aren't
doing your hair or your makeup the way that suits
you or fits you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's just like it's like.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I I've learned to know how to do it myself,
so then I don't have to be, you know, mad
about what I look like on set at shows. I
just make sure you know, I'm taking care of that department.
Well listen that that's in real life, period, because that's
another thing like you know, being a woman and just
stepping out and having to look good, you know, for
(06:07):
your man because you're married and you've been married a
long time and you're a mother is yeah okay, yeah,
and a great mother because your son just graduated high school.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
All right, give it up for that.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We made it hard, you know what I mean. I mean,
that's a lot, and you're mallanton being a mother, being
a wife, you know, being an artist and not just
one side of artistry. You now you're multifaceted, you know,
So how do you find the time to do all
(06:45):
of that? Like, I'm not going to even hold you,
like I I kind of like go through seasons of
my life.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay. Is like I'm a very spiritual person.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So whatever is pushing me or guiding me into a direction,
that's kind of like where I gravitate to you. So
I've had a season of the music and only the music,
the season of the movies. Right now, I'm in motherhood season.
Since I've been here for four for four years now,
I promise you, I've been out and I've been outside
(07:14):
a little bit, and I'm I'm still grinding audition and
doing things when it comes to my career.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But I feel like.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
The kids at these years that they're in teenage years.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You gotta be on ass.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You gotta present business, you gotta be constantly motivating, mothering
however you parenting, however you want to put it. But
you really like that's that has been my focus kind
of as of late. So I just kind of find
ways to kind of balance it and still where I'm
not neglecting too much of you know, the career and
(07:46):
everything like that too.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But I do prioritize, you know what I mean, and right.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Now with the way that these kids are as teenagers
and this is you know, this generation is set up.
You know these what are they call like gen Z's
our gen Z the Waiians again, yeah, the Waiians.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Is out here.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, so exactly, so you know that kind of has
been really my priority, especially getting my son to graduate. Yes,
and he's so handsome, thank you, He's extremely handsome.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Girl. You did all the work that you know. No,
I just like you. No, I cannot say that.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I mean we ran into each other at the last
track meet, that is so see Valley, Yes, your son
was running, Hendrix was running. So you got them all. Now,
before I go into that, where are you from on
the East Coast?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So originally I'm from the being, I'm from.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Boston, from Rock Boston, you know, New Edition, you know
all that stuff. Originally, but I spent majority of my
life in the d M B area. So okay, ce Maryland, Virginia,
I've been. I ran through that whole entire area and
we lived in Atlanta for like two years and then
now California.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Okay, so you said we lived in Atlanta for two years.
You just like kind of like lighter past that right right?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, so living in Atlanta but now Boston as well.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Right the outfit? Did you create this outfit?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
No, I just picked pieces like with something that stands
out to me or speaks to me.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I just picked the pieces.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Like really dope, like you know pretty much the accent
pieces come later, but a main piece and then everything
else just in my closet.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Ends up like just going would I figure out? So okay,
it just works.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Now do you feel like your pieces has helped you
get into the industry, like the way you dress and
how you do your hair and make up? Okay, I
would say I landed Queen and Slim for my look.
Really yeah, first thing because they found me actually on
ig shot out to Instagram. They slid in my BM
(10:07):
but they really loved my look. Back then, I went
by the name five, I remember.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I used to wear the long raids, all the colorful
long braids, all the way downside the floor and you
know I'm tatted up.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You guys can't see it right now.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I'm tatted and I just had again with the
fashion and stuff like that. I just had this look
that people feel like gravitated towards.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And at first I thought it was a catfish. I'm
not even gonna hold you. I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But it ended up being legit, so I would definitely
say my look has definitely got me where I am. Okay, interesting,
So when they hit you up right, you thought it
was a catfish?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So what made you say? You know what?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Let me figure out if this.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Is real or not.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I actually did my research and then I was, you know,
I was talking to family members and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Like, do you guys this is legit because you know
people be in your DM.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Just all the time, right, okay, not.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just like and it was a random person too. It
was actually the casting agency, so I thought it was
like a fake page or something like that. But then
I did my research about the actual movie, the movie
title Queen and Slim, and when I seen all the
things pop up, I was like, oh. And then I
seen Lean Await attached to it and Daniel car Luja,
and I was just like.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh, yeah, this is this is real. Let me, let
me take.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
This seriously, right, So I DMed back and then the
rest was history from there.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Okay, so you DM them back?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, and what did you say when you DM them back?
I apologized because I had her waiting for some time
because I just left it in there because you know,
I wasn't sure about it, and I let her know like.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I thought there was a catfish.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But I'm so happy you guys reached out and how
did you find me? And she told me that it
was actually a photographer from that is related to Molina
that kind of like found me on and told her
to ask me if you know I would audition. So
I was like, oh, acting like I knew how to,
(12:08):
like it goes hand in hand with music, right, with
music videos and writing up in school and stuff like
that and doing theater and things like that. But I
was like, this is a big role, Like this is
a speaking role, like this is lights camera action like that,
you know, a phone.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
In front of your face, you know you're doing school. No,
this is real, the real deal. So I was like, oh,
can I do this? And I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I was kind of like doubting myself in a sense,
and trying to make excuses in my head not to
do it. But my family was just like, girl, are
you crazy when the opportunity falls in your lap like this,
Like what are you think it's like for you? This
is this was meant to be, Like this is a
part of your journey. So I was like, Okay, you
know what, I'm gonna do it. And I auditioned, auditioned
(12:51):
with my man or whatever, and he did the he
did Bouquines scene there was when your husband did.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's an awful World.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So our scene, like we just was feeding off of
each other. It was kind of like, you know, like
that chemistry that we already had. I think that also
helped you with landing the role or whatever. He was
acting pretty much too goddamn, and I was, you know,
it just made me like really put my my all
into the audition. And I was nervous at first. I
(13:23):
was like, I am probably you know, I'm the first
time for this. They've probably got so many other actresses
that have a resume, right, But I will never forget
the casting agent, Teresa. She called me back and she
was telling me to come a audition for something else.
She was like, but but like just threw it in
there like randomly. But by the way, you landed the
role for Naomi for Queen and Slim and I was
(13:46):
just like, oh, what, well, that is an energy. Yeah,
it's a syenergy, and it's also a look and that.
Like I said that, that goes back to with you
being so multi talented, you know, and sometimes I know,
as people in the industry, we focus on one thing,
but we forget all these other things are there? Yeah, okay,
(14:09):
so you get the role, okay, and this is this
is this, Yeah, this is a truth Cinderella story fact
that you would you say that?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yes, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Because when we moved to Atlanta, I was it's crazy,
sorry because I you know, media in spirits and everything
like that.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I was like, please talking to my creator or.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Whatever, like universe, please let me know and even take
all the things out of my life that weren't meant
to be in my life.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But I had an.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Opportunity between love and hip hop reality television, which we're
not gonna look, we look, we don't want to because listen,
you know how many people came from that, so we
you know, but I get what you're saying, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yes, you have to do in that in that space.
So I was like, you know, and then I when.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It had to come do with the like going up
under like Stevie j and all that, so I was
just like do I want to and you know scripted
at the end of the day too, and I was like, please,
like show me a sign, let me know if this
is supposed to be for me. Right then Queen and
Slim happened and I was just like, well, damn, I
guess it's not.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Direction right.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So it's just crazy, you know how that situation just unfolded,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And it was kind of almost like a wrap from.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
There because it gave me to that confidence, you know,
and in okay, like this is this is it? You
know because even with being in Atlanta, that opportunity came.
I feel like too for me moving around the way
that I was moving around in Atlanta as well, the grind,
the things that I was doing, I was outside girl.
Like I when I said I was being that that concrete,
(15:47):
I was being that concrete.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So being here in California.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
And kind of like seeing the difference, that's the only
thing that I would say I do miss about Ato
is that booked and busyness right of right, constantly just
being in the mix of things and the opportunity. But honestly,
I can't truly, I can't complain because I feel like
we're I'm in kind of like an a sea like
I was telling you on the season, where if I
(16:13):
stay consistent like I've been doing, you know, these things
will come.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So well, here's the thing too.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You know in Atlanta, you feel like you were probably
constantly on the grind grind, grind, grind, grind, And I
love Atlanta. Shout out to Atlanta because I've done so
much in Atlanta. The podcast started in Atlanta, and then
also reality TV show in Atlanta. I shoot movies in
Atlanta and everything. So I loved Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, what's where I'm negtive?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah right, you know, but you have to like after
you know, and it's different. You go to different cities
to explore things and teach you different things. Yeah okay,
so you got what you needed to get from Atlanta.
Did you take acting classes in Atlanta?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I didn't take acting classes.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Honestly, when I was on that set, I was I
was acting classes because being okayuned people like Bokeem would
buying right, you know, Daniel Colley, Like, these people have
been in major films, you know, so it's like they
pulled that out of you, like where it's like you
gotta be on their level because if you ain't nothing
(17:25):
on their level, you're gonna be looking like him, like
you're going to be looking like you cannot act.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
They're going to embarrashi. Yes please, they will embarrash. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But I love that about it too because when it
was like when they were given mear all, it just
made me go harder, like all right, right, and everybody
would ask me like, oh, this is your first time,
it's your first time on set, this is your first
time acting, and I'm just like yeah, but they're like dang,
like I'm surprised. So for me, that was a compliment.
That was a big compliment. And you're what's funny too,
(17:54):
is that scene, that infamous scene between me and Bokem
and the house that was improv Okay, Lena did write
some of the things that were in there for sure,
like the way that I was going in the direction,
but like towards the end when me and him get
into it and all that stuff that was just like
straight off of our chemistry and our energy. So it's
(18:14):
just kind of like that let me know, like, oh
I can.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Do this for real, you know, like this this.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Can be something bigger than what I thought my career
would be in a sense of I'm just going to
be this artist and I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Like it made me feel like, oh wow, there's actually
like potential for something even bigger. So right, So, okay,
so you're on set. You're on set with bookin wood
Buy Daniel Kolugian. I'm trying to think who, Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Model, she was a popular model, but okay, that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Was her first role, that was I didn't know that
was her first role yep, and in India more okay,
you know the same thing.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Model she was on polls already.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, so honey, are you a model and you that's
something else you need to add to the role. That's
one thing I've never done, believe it or not, Because
clearly you're a model. You were amongst a bunch of models.
So do you not realize that maybe you should.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Be modeling as well? Maybe I should add that to
the resume as well, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Okay, has anybody ever told you you should be modeling, yeah,
for like for ink and stuff like that, for sure,
because I actually have adult I had a dope tattoo
artists shot off to my tattoo artists back at home.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Dave, he did most of my inca And people.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Always be like, why don't you do like ink magazine
and this and this and this and that, and I
was just like, no, no, no, never really took it serious.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But you know, probably now that I think about it
now too.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And when I was in my prime, like back in
my like spring Chicken days, you know whatever, in my
twenties and stuff, I was like, maybe I could have
really went somewhere with it, but I don't know. I
just never really pursued it for real. I just was
focused on, which I still am in a sense.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
The music.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That's the first love, that's the passion, that's I know, Melanie.
But it sounds like to me, okay, and this is
just me being your friend.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You always keep it real.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It sounds like to me, I have to be really honest,
you're blocking a lot of blessings. Excuse me, I mean
that that's just what I'm feeling.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I mean, because.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't tell me everything I need to hear.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I tell you this all the time.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I tell you how I feel like you're so multi talented.
And I say this, and I know sometimes you don't
want to hear because in your mind this is just
what it's supposed to be right or in your vision right.
But other people see and this is just me. I
see so much. I see you as an artist. I
see you at you know, fashionista, You're beautiful, a model.
(20:56):
You know how to do hair, you know how to
do makeup, you know how to dress, you know how
to act.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I mean you, You're multi faceted. So why do you
feel like you have this block? Because there's a lot
of people out here that have blocks, and not just
in the industry, but in everyday life. They block a
lot of blessings because they listen to the negative voices
into the positive voices. It's so funny that you say
(21:23):
that that I would say that that has been definitely
an issue for me in the past. But if we
go back to just kind of like the seasons that
I've been in, I feel like I get distracted a lot,
Like I get set on one thing because I'm just
trying to achieve this goal right, So that happened with
the acting. So I'm just like, oh, I got to
just audition and I got to put my one hundred
(21:45):
percent in the acting thing because now this is kind
of like popping right now for me because of this
movie that just happens. So now I have to you know,
piggyback off of that and go hard with that. That
then I start neglecting you know, the music, right, neglecting
other little things that are going on in my life.
And I know, like you said that there is definitely
room for whether it is the styling aspect, the makeup,
(22:08):
the here, the modeling like all these other things. But
it's like, I don't want to get sidetracked when you're
like so focused on, you know, trying.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
To achieve that that goal.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
So I think that's kind of like my problem is
not being able to juggle like like do them all
like collectively, you know how some people like Jamie Fox,
he's a comedian, he's an artist, he's an actor, he's
all these things, and he knows how to just put
it together and it all works. So that's kind of
like what I'm still navigating through, you know, and trying
(22:39):
to figure out how you do it.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, do you not realize you're doing it?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I know in a sense because it's just like I think,
I'm so distracted with the grind of getting to where
I need to get, you know what I mean, Like
when you're just kind of like to have this tunnel
vision and all these other things are just kind of
like you know that it's here.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
But no, you do it every day.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I watch you're doing it on your social media.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Number One. Okay, you get on there, you post.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That's not easy, Okay, you post, you post working out,
you post on your makeup, you post your hair, you
post your family, which your family is so fucking beautiful.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Listen, I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I love your husband, your your children are beautiful. Like
I said, you just got your son off, he just graduated,
your girls are up next.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay, So do you not realize you're doing everything right now?
That you say is a process, but you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I just have to find out how I can make
the money that I need to make off of it.
I feel like we're in a generation now too, with
these young people making so much money on your social media.
It's like I'm just trying to find that formula that
works to wear it because it is, like you said
with posting that it's hard, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Time consuming, It is time consuming, it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And then you're trying to figure out the algorithm of Instagram.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And what we're oh viral? What will blow up and not?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
And Okay, are they gonna gravitate towards the fact that
I'm my actress?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Are they gravitating towards the music? Like what it? You
know what I mean? So, but can I say something what.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Those people that you may be looking at, they weren't
in Queen and.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Slim, they weren't in Super Turn.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, they don't have a husband and three beautiful kids.
So while you're focusing on what that is right, they
don't have what you have right and successful and beautiful
and doing it.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So I feel like, you know, maybe you're not realizing
really who you are. That could be though, Yeah, that
can definitely be a factor for sure, because I feel
like we are always our toughest you know, critic man,
We are always the ones that normally are blocking our
(25:15):
blessings when it comes to certain.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And I think that has to do with fair like doubt,
you know, all these things. And you know, even life
in today's world we live in right now in society.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is just you know a little crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
But one thing about me for sure, though, I'm I'm consistent.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I ain't come this far to come this far now.
So do you sleep?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Because I know you say because you get sleep? Because
you know as an artist that you know everybody say
no sleep, no sleep?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Do you get sleep?
Speaker 2 (25:49):
You may will tell you I'm up. He thinks I'm
a vampire, but are you? Is that why he's addicted?
But no, for real, Like I feel like too, because
I have so many different grinds because I don't I
don't just do the the acting and the music for income.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know, I have all several sources of income. I'm grinding.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We have a goal that we're trying to achieve being
here in California.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We have kids, we have dogs, yeah you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Like we have a lifestyle, right, you know what I mean.
So it's just kind of like it's a constant grind
for me. And I do still feel like I do
a decent job at balancing, balancing everything out. It's just
like I just have to like here, I just have
to find my footing, and you told me this when
I first came here, Like, don't you be consistent?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It takes a while.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
You just I know it might be hor when you
first come here and you might be down on yourself
about certain things, or don't don't let that distract you.
So I always keep that in the back of my
head too, because I sometimes I do be like, God, damn, California.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Do I gotta get on a plane?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Do I know? I gotta get go back to Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Like you So, No, there's a lot of artists here.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You You landed in the place where everybody comes, and
we're talking about from across the globe, not just from
a small you know sector.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So and then you know.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
You got you got black, you got white, you got Asian,
you Gotydian. What would you what is your nationality?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What would you say? Because you know, you're very racially ambiguous.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I'm black, honestly, Like my mom, her father is full
full Native American and her mother is African American. My
dad's mother is Jamaican and his father is Canadian, but
he's a black Canadian, right, Okay?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You know black?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
But you know, like Pharrell, like I just I identify because
you know how people are with the husband's whole identity
identity thing right now.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But I identify as a black woman. Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
So yeah, so okay, because because I was just thinking
maybe also as far as h you know, the roles
you want to do, you know, you might want to
explore for sure other ethnicities because you are racially ambiguous,
(28:24):
so you might have this in your head too as
far as the acting goes. And then when you're posting
certain videos and you're doing certain things online, somebody else
can gravitate because you did get the queen and Slim role.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
They came to.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You, which I would say, I don't know if anybody's
ever dm me. I mean people dm me to collaborate
and do stuff all the time, but it wasn't for
a queen and Slim type role. Okay, so that's a
big deal. Okay, So go easy on yourself with right.
(28:58):
And I also feel like because I don't want to
get type casted because I did play you know, a
sex worker in Queen and Slim, So it's like, you
don't want to get type casted into.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh now you're in all of these type.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Of you know, because it happens especially to black women
in this industry.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
So I was just like, well, California.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Is probably the place to be to to you know,
be able to show people, you know, that I can
do anything and I can do what what do you need?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I got you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Like, So, I think that was one of the reasons
too that I was so excited about coming here.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
But then when I got here, the strike happened. So
I was just like, WHOA, what is going on?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So we had to sit down for a little bit,
but it never stopped me from still like auditioning and
other opportunities, and you know, social media helped during COVID
and things like that. So, like you said, like posting
and everything like that, I don't like sitting still because
when you sit still, you start getting in your idle mind.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah what they say, that's the devil WORKO.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So I'm constantly doing stuff, you know, rightly, staying busy.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
And that's how I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know. I like the challenge. I know some people
just want it to all come to them and just whatever.
I don't know, I got to go out and get it.
I love like the grind. Honestly, I've doing it for
so long, and I know it's going to be rewarding
once I do finally get there, because I feel like
every time the door is opening, it's like the universe
be like.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And a bitch sit down, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
But it's not that it's just what they say, you know,
like it's the redirection because when the strike happened, because
you might have been going this way, but when the
strike happened, did you do music?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yes? Okay, all right, I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Always still in the studio. I'm still constantly creating and
putting out music. So that's because you know, that's my
first love, that's the passion, right, So it's like I
always have that.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
If I know I don't have anything.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Else, I'm always going to have the music and perform
and you know, get in the studio and just being
authentically who I am because I write you know what
I mean, I saying I rap all these things. So
it's like that's kind of like the bag. I'm also
trying to get into out here of writing for other
artists and you know, getting on in any type of
(31:17):
way that I can or whatever, but still doing what
I love because I am I can honestly say that
I am definitely blessed in a sense of I am
living my dream for real, Like I am doing everything
that I said I was going to do, and I'm
doing actually my passion and.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
What I love.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
So I always think I always think about that because sometimes,
you know, you can get lost and just be.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Like, why isn't this Why am I not here yet?
Or why does this.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Person get to get on for being a hawk to
you girl or some you know, like stuff like that,
And it's just kind of like, I got to stop
being distracted when it comes to those things. Well, and
you have to stop comparing. Yeah, that party, you can't
compare it, because I'm telling you, when I look at
you what you're saying, I see.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Something completely different, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Like I look at your beautiful family, I look at
your talent, I look at your beauty. I see everything happening.
But it's in a timing. Because that's another thing the
industry will make you feel like if you didn't get
it at twenty, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's not going to happen, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, if you didn't get it at thirty, it's not
going to happen. And you didn't get a forty it's
not going to happen. But there's so many artists that
are coming out now at a certain age and it's
that specific role that's catered to them and it puts
them where they need to be, you know what I mean.
And maybe right now God has your focus on your girls,
(32:46):
you know, getting your son out of high school. Yeah, definitely,
you know, yeah, no, no, I know, because that's what
the universe has been kind of like guiding here and
making sure that my family's straight and all that other
stuff is going to be there right right, Like the
industry is gonna be there all that, but your kids,
that's like right now.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
And most people don't have that. They don't have that.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
So maybe me and you, because we've talked about this
before doing music together, Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Mean, how did I sit you bet there?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I know, I know, and then listen and but here's
here's another thing.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Here's another thing.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No, it's like you say, Okay, in those moments, I may.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Have been over here and you know what I mean, sure,
and so you're doing your thing.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And that's one of the things that inspire me to
because for you to be so authentically you and still
being able to move around in this industry the way
that you want to move.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
That's goals to me. But it's not easy. I'll be
I'll be honest. There's that. Listen.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Sure there has been periods of.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Time, but I moved over. You've been in my house.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I moved there because I was like, I'm done with
the industry.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I'm away.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I was like, I'm moving, I'm away, I'm done with everybody.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I can't take it. Everybody's fucking faith. I went through
that period.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I thought I was done.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
But you know what, Yeah, yeah, I was like, yeah,
you're not nothing, You're not Yeah. Literally after I moved
into my house, probably like maybe a couple of weeks later,
I got a booking and I was like, Okay, I'm
not done, but now I'm stuck.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm stuck there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
So you know you can't think that at all, especially
four years in LA that's really that's that's no time
at all, And you're not willing to do the casting couch,
none of the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
So you know.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
You're gonna be harder.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I'm just telling you, hilarious.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I'm just saying people that have substance and they have
family and they you know, it's the road is going
to be harder.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, no, you know what I mean. So you mean
no exactly?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, yeah, we we know, we know how this industry
is easy to get on the top if you do
certain things. So yeah, yeah, but it's I feel like too,
it's it's hard work, it's dedication, it's you know, and
sometimes you have to create your own lane, right and
create a platform for yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
And I feel like you're doing all of that and
I appreciate it. Yeah you are.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm telling you, I'm watching that. I'm always like, I
love this. I don't know if you see my comments.
I don't know if you see it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
But that's what I say about you.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You're always supportive in that sense of the realist person
that I've met.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
He comes to Actually you're.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Supporting, you know what I mean, Like, don't have this
crab and a barrel mentality as in, you know, you
meet people and it's just like they don't want to
see you doing you know, anybody doing better than them.
You've never gave me that energy. You've always been truly
a girl's girl since I've met Yeah, because you were
probably like the only person too on Super Turn that
(36:04):
that spoke and had a conversation.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It's serious out of all the actors on set, but
you and Adrian.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Okay, I'm gonna talk to man about that, because one.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Thing about it when we are on movie sets, and
especially the sets that I'm a part of, I don't
play that people not speaking to people and that we
all there for a collective group and we're there to
make sure that the project succeeds. So if people are
walking around and then I speak, and then that's not
going to be a successful project. And then yeah, and
(36:36):
then you being toriy heart too, I was dope because I.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Was just like, oh, she's humble as fuck. You know,
you actually had a conversation. So yeah, I appreciate you always.
You got it, Melanie, Thank you five? Right, Okay, now.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
What's next for you?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
So right now, I've just been in the studio like crazy,
working on the Hoe fully an EP, so crossing my
fingers with that. You know, I've been auditioning as well
like crazy. I'm just hoping some of the projects too
that I have been not only auditioning before for, but
