It's just been so long. It's been five years since
I got the job, then about three years since we
finished shooting it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
People don't realize that, not at all. You get excited
when it first happens, when you get the call, you
get the job. You like, we're going to shoot this show.
Tell tell everybody what it is. By the way, iron Hard,
I mean just a little iron Heart now.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Streaming Disney Plus the last three episodes today, So that's insane.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But yeah, going on to watch tonight.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I know, so good.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, I'm glad it's out there.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Wuntil you got the call five years ago about this
twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
They said, they said, hey, this is your role.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, Anthony Raymos is gonna be What did you like,
What does the call go?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What do they tell you?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Nothing at that time other than we want you to
play this role. We want to bring her to life
in the form of this six episode series. We're gonna
introduce her and Wakonda forever. Ryan's gonna call you later
to kind of pitch you on the whole thing. But
at that point, it was literally, as far as the
show goes, it was literally just our EP Zoe and
(04:50):
myself and that was it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh nobody else was on board yet.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was just the two of us in like zoom limbo.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But you know, when you get a call like that
and it's in it's like you know that this they're
spending money on, it's going to be a big deal.
It's part of the you know, franchise. You already know
that this is like, that's a big call.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
To be a thing, to be a thing something.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, absolutely, that's so great. So what has it been
like since since it's dropped?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
God insane? I did this monologue slam last night in Brooklyn,
shout out to the Soul Soiree. That was such a
what did you do? Beautiful of people? I did a
monologue from It was Lady Percy's monologue from Henry four
Part one Shakespeare. They say, we could do absolutely anything,
(05:38):
and you chose Shakespeare, like the love of my life
right there, Like really that's what I like thought I
was going to be doing when I like committed to
acting and all that. So they get the opportunity to
do that with you.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Thought Shakespeare was where you're gonna land.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, I loved it so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
How does that like, where does that come from? What planning?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It comes from? PPAs, it comes from high school and
and all my acting teachers really they kind of set
you up for that because all four years kind of
build up to you finally getting to do the Shakespeare scenes.
And so when you come in as a freshman, like
all the seniors are doing these crazy, like wild intense
Shakespeare scenes and you're like, oh yeah, like I'm ready
(06:20):
for that, you know, and then when we finally got
to do it, I like fell in love. I really
really did, because he's really talking shit, you know, and
so so so many of those So word, I got
to do that last night with a fabulous group of
other performers.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's different, though, right, like being on set and then
doing something and being in front of people.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And it's so different. Yes, so different.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Would you get nervous or no?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Absolutely? Really yeah, you know, at least just a little bit,
you know, but it's like good nervous, you know. Yeah,
you know, like it feels, especially when you've seen everyone
else going and you're like, yeah, like let's do this.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You know, it's you've had a I mean, your ride
has been I mean even I was thinking about that earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
How old were you when you got the Black Panther call?
I was like nineteen, So you're nineteen.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, you probably don't been You've done stuff. I mean
you've done stuff, You've done some stuff. Yeah, you've been
at this for probably however many years.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Ah, probably about six or seven.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Oh six or seven years.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I started in high school.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, but that call got a hit different?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Absolutely, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Do they say we want you to be black pants.
Like how does that even? What happens?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh? Man, Well, it started with a tape, a self tape.
I was sending out so many self tapes at that
time because that was my first time leaving the city
and the agent said I was with at the time
were very encouraging about me going to college, but they
said that sending self tapes out would be the way
to like stay connected to the industry in the city,
(07:52):
like get people to know you, casting directors to know you.
So I was sending out tapes.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So you put like a phone in your house.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Like yeah, Like I got a little tripod from my iPhone.
I think at some point I had a camera or
like I borrowed one from a department or something. But yeah,
I would have that set up. I would take it
to class with me sometimes and just anyone that was
lagging in the in the room too late after class
was done, like, oh, can you just read these lines
with me real quick and make all these tapes. And
(08:20):
so that was one of the tapes that I made.
And at some point, like maybe a few weeks go
by and they call, they call my agents and they
say like, oh, we want to see her do another one.
I think I made another tape and I was I
was like hitting up all my you know, Kenyan homegirls
from campus because there were so many international students. I
(08:41):
was like, y'all about to help me get this accent
down and getting them to do it with me. And
then I sent the second tape and then they asked
me to come to either La or Atlanta to do
like a screen test with Chadwick.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And even then that's probably like it's building.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Right absolutely, Yeah, it's like, oh my god, I feel
the story and I'm like, oh my god, you know,
you know, of course you think like, oh my god,
like is this it? Like is this go? Is this
the moment? Is this a chance? Yeah, and just trying
to lean in at every opportunity. It was either Atlanta first, No,
it was LA first, and then Atlanta And yeah, I
(09:17):
did a screen test with Chadwick, like a chemistry read
that's insane. It's like walking in the room and literally
feeling like you're sharing the space with royalty. Meeting Ryan
for the first time, I want to say, yeah, I
think that was the first. Yeah, that was definitely the
first time that I had met him. Yeah, And then.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Come on, come on and did you kill wait?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I hope. So I like to think I like, I
think I did a good job. But of course at
the time you're only thinking like, oh my god, like
I should have did this and I didn't do that.
But and it goes by so fast.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know, I would Chad with you.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
He's incredible. Yeah, he was so incredible. It's insane to
think back, Like in that what five seven minute audition,
you see all that people say he was. You feel
all that people have spoken him up to be. You
can feel that like presence, that grounding, that knowing. You know,
(10:24):
like this is a man on a mission and he's
standing in his power. You feel all of that. It's like,
oh my god, Like, no wonder, he's the Black Panther,
No wonder, He's the king, you know he is?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah? Yeah, what about Ryan?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Me and Brittany are obsessed with Ryan Coogler. He came
into my podcast. I just I think, I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Since Fruiteville, I have been like exactly, he just has
such a I don't know, I've never worked with him.
I can't imagine what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Man, It's all of that, you know, It's like, like,
what is this man tapped into you know, and you
just have to respect it. I remember at that time
eating him. I was absolutely like I was definitely more
nervous walking in that room to share space with that man,
because seeing Fruitvale was the reason that I even considered
(11:11):
like peeping into the film space before that, Like I
was saying, I was all about theater, but I saw
that movie and I was like, actually saw that movie
right before I had to do my like senior year
jury scene, which was my Shakespeare scene. So it's like,
oh my god, all these four years build up to
this moment, and our Humanity's teacher had just finished showing
(11:32):
us that movie I was doing Julius and Brutus, Brutus
and Julius Caesar, and that just like fueled me, Like
I was hot, you know going into that. Yeah, I know,
literally that just happened to be what they were, you know,
showing on that day what we were talking about in class, and.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
It was something about like the simplicity but also the
nuance of it that was I don't know, it was
so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Grounded, and I think that's what translates and I think
that's why we all love him, you know, his work
is really even with something is supernatural or you know,
deep in the sci fi spaces some of the marvel
stuff is it's still grounded and like our cultural richness, you.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Know, and authenticity exactly. Yeah, he seems to have that now,
exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That must be dope though, to have to share space
working space, absolutely, because I mean, I mean, that is
a yeah, I was going to say a privilege, right,
because I'm sure that's not the normal experience. You know,
it's not the average experience that working actors, probably especially
working black actors, have had in the past.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
However, many exactly I've heard so many of those stories
and I on bended me, thank my Lord that that
that has been him, Barry Jenkins, Shaka King, like that
has been my introduction to this space, you know, I
mean so grateful.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, how are you dealing with all of this?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
How are you managing the shift in life that happens
when you get roles like this and you've been put
on this platform, these platforms, this big.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, that's a great question. Yeah, one step at a time.
You know, I'm really trying to just stay connected to
what feels like me and what feels genuine and just.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Not gettle too much, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, yeah, really trying to like that monologue slam like.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
That ask that is the essence of who you are.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And I'm so glad that it happened right at that
time because I was just got back from the La
Premiere and all of that press, and it's like it
there was like a ninety percent chance it wasn't going
to happen, but holding on to it for that ten
percent that actually came through and ended up happening was like, oh, yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
This this is what I do.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
This is it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Is anybody in your in your family ever done anything
like this?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Not at all?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
What kind of family do you?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
My god? Like blue collar like workers, you know, like
my dad when I was growing up, my dad was
in construction for the longest and like just worked his
way up into like the office side of that business
by the time I had gotten to college. My mother
was a babysitter growing up. My aunt was the only
one who went to college and like four year got
(14:23):
a degree and I was in Trinidad. She she went
and got like her second master. But yeah, that's the
experience of most of my family, you know, most of
them are still in Trinidad, So absolutely I think that
that has spent.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, for sure, they probably go crazy for you.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Man, they need to they need to lock in for sure,
because every time I do go back, it's nothing but love.
It really really is.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So what do you even Like I feel like the
world could be yours right, Like, so what is what
is that?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Like? What is the dream?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
What is the five years from now?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The Globe, the Globe, the Globe. I would love to
go do Shakespeare at the Globe in London. I would
love to do that. That's been my dream forever. And
I actually was going to go to a conservatory that
like studied there at the Globe for a year, but
I ended up going to Cornell obviously, And so I
think that's just always been in my mind, like, h
(15:22):
like I have to at some point one day.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You studied theater at Cornell or no, No, you did not.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No, I studied human development, social and personality development.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
But you always knew you wanted to be to act.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, but I didn't know that it could be a
career for real until like someone told me that. Yeah,
like twenty fifteen, I had this mentor who said, like
sat me down and was like, hey, if you like this,
you deserve to do this for the rest of your life.
You could, you know why?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
What what made them see it?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was doing this competition called the Young Arts Competition,
and that is a whole story in it self, like
sixty thousand applicants across the country and I almost didn't apply.
I literally submitted my tape like two minutes before the deadline,
but was chosen like one of six people to go
for Spoken Theater went down to Miami for like a
(16:15):
week long intensive and at the end of the week
and they have all these crazy masterclass teachers like Felicia
Rashad was there, James Kahn from The Godfather, like it
was insane. And that was just for acting, like they
had like like I don't know, classical dance, ballet, jazz,
like all my crazy disciplines like sculpting, fine art.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It was.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It was madness. But in the acting part of it,
you have this like week long classes, workshops whatever. You're
working toward a performance that you have like five days
to put together like everybody does, and you rotate throughout
the week to see the performances and at the end
they choose like a guy and a girl each discipline
(17:00):
to be presidential scholars in the arts. And that's like
you go to the White House. She performed for like
at the John F. Kennedy Center, Like that's a whole
other thing. And so when we're doing like our exit interviews,
that's when the woman had sat me down. It was
like a board of like four four mentors. I want
to say, Wow, her name was Jen Waldman. She was
(17:21):
incredible and yeah she you know, they asked me how
my experience was and everything, and I started to cry,
oh no, And she said that she like, because I
just I never I don't know, like you just I
didn't grow up thinking that like what you enjoy could
be your life, you know, Like I grew up thinking
work is work. You know, you work hard, Yeah, and
(17:43):
you put your nose down and you do what you
have to do to like, you know, to live exactly. Yeah.
So when she said that, I was like, oh, like
it changed my brain chemistry, yeah, and changed my trajectory.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But the talent had already been there for Amen, Amen,
conversation at that point, Amen.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I'm really I really do, I really do feel grateful
for the teachers that I've had like, where are.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You with uh? Because I know we talk about this
in the show, but like in real life, where are
you with AI?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh man, I'm terrified? Are you?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Are you really?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I'm one of them closed the blinds, you know, deactivate
Siri like, no, what is it called no face?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I d don't you have a piece of tape on
your you.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Know, like I really am.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I'm like an old lady. I don't know. Chat GBT
terrifies me, so.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
You don't use it.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I used it for the first time like maybe like
a couple of Oh my god. My manager actually is
the one who put it up, and he was like, like, uh,
tell me about Dominique Thorn. And when this thing told
me about me, oh angie, I like wanted to run
and hide. But I used it the other day to
like I think I was. It was during press and
(18:56):
I wanted to hear like, oh what do you think
about Iron Man and Rary Williams meeting in the MCU
And this thing gave me like three different breakdowns.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm clear. I use it all the time. It's wild.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Oh my god. I'm also now seeing folks who have
like personal AI assistants, Like I'll go into zoom meetings
and they have their AI assistant like taking notes. Like
that's where we are in the world. That blows my mind.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's one hundred percent where we are. Yeah, I'm surprised
that you're not more Williams and you're like using.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Not at all.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I am so surprised, not at all.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I'm so not I'm not on the tech. They're lucky.
I'm on Instagram. They really am, they really have. They
be fighting with me and.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
You know you're not a social media girl, not for real,
not for real. It's a weird space.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, but you know,
like trying to make it your own and stuff whatever.
I do. Need to like get a little more comfortable.
I see. That's where we're going in the world. You know,
I got to engage.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
You don't want to be behind.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But oh my god, it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Something something to think about for real. All right, everybody
go see the show. Anything else people need to know
you want to.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Share or.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Should we go through your in real life questionnaire? Last
thing you ate it was a falafel crunch. That sounds terrible,
but it was it. Okay, your your karaoke song is
they'll never be.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You know from Switch? I like that sound too.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Why don't I know this song.

Be a bad never be?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh? Oh switch in the day Switch. I thought it
was like you like you like you know Switch? That's
El de barge. That's the barge they had Switch before
they had the barge. See y'all knew what she was
talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I just didn't know.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You know, I know better than that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
That's a good song of all songs, a great song.
Oh that's fired. That means you got good taste. Okay.
What is your superpower?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The amount of lines that I've memorized in like this
last week alone, definitely memories memorization.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
How do you do it? Is there a trick? Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Man? Just read and read and read and read and repeat.
That's it, Read and repeat. If I'm like, if it's like,
oh I gotta get it, I'll like write it all out.
You know. I had a teacher that was like write
the first letter of every word, like writing it over
and over again, or like recording it and listening to
it back.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
People don't think about that when they think about the
acting gift of talent. Oh yeah, you have to memorize
all those words.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, I got fourteen pages in two days like last week.
Oh man, that was insane, you know, and we test
you every time.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
But like checking is going on.

And how do you feel? First of all, I feel good. Yeah,
I feel like I can read you know what do
you mean?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's just been so long. It's been five years since
I got the job, then about three years since we
finished shooting it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
People don't realize that, not at all. You get excited
when it first happens, when you get the call, you
get the job. You like, we're going to shoot this show.
Tell tell everybody what it is. By the way, iron Hard,
I mean just a little iron Heart now.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Streaming Disney Plus the last three episodes today, So that's insane.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But yeah, going on to watch tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah exactly, yep, this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I know, so good.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, I'm glad it's out there.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Wuntil you got the call five years ago about this
twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
They said, they said, hey, this is your role.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, Anthony Raymos is gonna be What did you like,
What does the call go?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What do they tell you?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Nothing at that time other than we want you to
play this role. We want to bring her to life
in the form of this six episode series. We're gonna
introduce her and Wakonda forever. Ryan's gonna call you later
to kind of pitch you on the whole thing. But
at that point, it was literally, as far as the
show goes, it was literally just our EP Zoe and
(04:50):
myself and that was it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh nobody else was on board yet.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was just the two of us in like zoom limbo.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But you know, when you get a call like that
and it's in it's like you know that this they're
spending money on, it's going to be a big deal.
It's part of the you know, franchise. You already know
that this is like, that's a big call.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
To be a thing, to be a thing something.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, absolutely, that's so great. So what has it been
like since since it's dropped?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
God insane? I did this monologue slam last night in Brooklyn,
shout out to the Soul Soiree. That was such a
what did you do? Beautiful of people? I did a
monologue from It was Lady Percy's monologue from Henry four
Part one Shakespeare. They say, we could do absolutely anything,
(05:38):
and you chose Shakespeare, like the love of my life
right there, Like really that's what I like thought I
was going to be doing when I like committed to
acting and all that. So they get the opportunity to
do that with you.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Thought Shakespeare was where you're gonna land.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, I loved it so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
How does that like, where does that come from? What planning?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It comes from? PPAs, it comes from high school and
and all my acting teachers really they kind of set
you up for that because all four years kind of
build up to you finally getting to do the Shakespeare scenes.
And so when you come in as a freshman, like
all the seniors are doing these crazy, like wild intense
Shakespeare scenes and you're like, oh yeah, like I'm ready
(06:20):
for that, you know, and then when we finally got
to do it, I like fell in love. I really
really did, because he's really talking shit, you know, and
so so so many of those So word, I got
to do that last night with a fabulous group of
other performers.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's different, though, right, like being on set and then
doing something and being in front of people.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And it's so different. Yes, so different.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Would you get nervous or no?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Absolutely? Really yeah, you know, at least just a little bit,
you know, but it's like good nervous, you know. Yeah,
you know, like it feels, especially when you've seen everyone
else going and you're like, yeah, like let's do this.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You know, it's you've had a I mean, your ride
has been I mean even I was thinking about that earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
How old were you when you got the Black Panther call?
I was like nineteen, So you're nineteen.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, you probably don't been You've done stuff. I mean
you've done stuff, You've done some stuff. Yeah, you've been
at this for probably however many years.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Ah, probably about six or seven.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Oh six or seven years.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I started in high school.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, but that call got a hit different?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Absolutely, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Do they say we want you to be black pants.
Like how does that even? What happens?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh? Man, Well, it started with a tape, a self tape.
I was sending out so many self tapes at that
time because that was my first time leaving the city
and the agent said I was with at the time
were very encouraging about me going to college, but they
said that sending self tapes out would be the way
to like stay connected to the industry in the city,
(07:52):
like get people to know you, casting directors to know you.
So I was sending out tapes.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So you put like a phone in your house.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Like yeah, Like I got a little tripod from my iPhone.
I think at some point I had a camera or
like I borrowed one from a department or something. But yeah,
I would have that set up. I would take it
to class with me sometimes and just anyone that was
lagging in the in the room too late after class
was done, like, oh, can you just read these lines
with me real quick and make all these tapes. And
(08:20):
so that was one of the tapes that I made.
And at some point, like maybe a few weeks go
by and they call, they call my agents and they
say like, oh, we want to see her do another one.
I think I made another tape and I was I
was like hitting up all my you know, Kenyan homegirls
from campus because there were so many international students. I
(08:41):
was like, y'all about to help me get this accent
down and getting them to do it with me. And
then I sent the second tape and then they asked
me to come to either La or Atlanta to do
like a screen test with Chadwick.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And even then that's probably like it's building.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Right absolutely, Yeah, it's like, oh my god, I feel
the story and I'm like, oh my god, you know,
you know, of course you think like, oh my god,
like is this it? Like is this go? Is this
the moment? Is this a chance? Yeah, and just trying
to lean in at every opportunity. It was either Atlanta first, No,
it was LA first, and then Atlanta And yeah, I
(09:17):
did a screen test with Chadwick, like a chemistry read
that's insane. It's like walking in the room and literally
feeling like you're sharing the space with royalty. Meeting Ryan
for the first time, I want to say, yeah, I
think that was the first. Yeah, that was definitely the
first time that I had met him. Yeah, And then.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Come on, come on and did you kill wait?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I hope. So I like to think I like, I
think I did a good job. But of course at
the time you're only thinking like, oh my god, like
I should have did this and I didn't do that.
But and it goes by so fast.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know, I would Chad with you.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
He's incredible. Yeah, he was so incredible. It's insane to
think back, Like in that what five seven minute audition,
you see all that people say he was. You feel
all that people have spoken him up to be. You
can feel that like presence, that grounding, that knowing. You know,
(10:24):
like this is a man on a mission and he's
standing in his power. You feel all of that. It's like,
oh my god, Like, no wonder, he's the Black Panther,
No wonder, He's the king, you know he is?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah? Yeah, what about Ryan?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Me and Brittany are obsessed with Ryan Coogler. He came
into my podcast. I just I think, I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Since Fruiteville, I have been like exactly, he just has
such a I don't know, I've never worked with him.
I can't imagine what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Man, It's all of that, you know, It's like, like,
what is this man tapped into you know, and you
just have to respect it. I remember at that time
eating him. I was absolutely like I was definitely more
nervous walking in that room to share space with that man,
because seeing Fruitvale was the reason that I even considered
(11:11):
like peeping into the film space before that, Like I
was saying, I was all about theater, but I saw
that movie and I was like, actually saw that movie
right before I had to do my like senior year
jury scene, which was my Shakespeare scene. So it's like,
oh my god, all these four years build up to
this moment, and our Humanity's teacher had just finished showing
(11:32):
us that movie I was doing Julius and Brutus, Brutus
and Julius Caesar, and that just like fueled me, Like
I was hot, you know going into that. Yeah, I know,
literally that just happened to be what they were, you know,
showing on that day what we were talking about in class, and.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
It was something about like the simplicity but also the
nuance of it that was I don't know, it was
so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Grounded, and I think that's what translates and I think
that's why we all love him, you know, his work
is really even with something is supernatural or you know,
deep in the sci fi spaces some of the marvel
stuff is it's still grounded and like our cultural richness, you.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Know, and authenticity exactly. Yeah, he seems to have that now,
exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That must be dope though, to have to share space
working space, absolutely, because I mean, I mean, that is
a yeah, I was going to say a privilege, right,
because I'm sure that's not the normal experience. You know,
it's not the average experience that working actors, probably especially
working black actors, have had in the past.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
However, many exactly I've heard so many of those stories
and I on bended me, thank my Lord that that
that has been him, Barry Jenkins, Shaka King, like that
has been my introduction to this space, you know, I
mean so grateful.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, how are you dealing with all of this?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
How are you managing the shift in life that happens
when you get roles like this and you've been put
on this platform, these platforms, this big.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, that's a great question. Yeah, one step at a time.
You know, I'm really trying to just stay connected to
what feels like me and what feels genuine and just.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Not gettle too much, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, yeah, really trying to like that monologue slam like.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
That ask that is the essence of who you are.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And I'm so glad that it happened right at that
time because I was just got back from the La
Premiere and all of that press, and it's like it
there was like a ninety percent chance it wasn't going
to happen, but holding on to it for that ten
percent that actually came through and ended up happening was like, oh, yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
This this is what I do.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
This is it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Is anybody in your in your family ever done anything
like this?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Not at all?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
What kind of family do you?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
My god? Like blue collar like workers, you know, like
my dad when I was growing up, my dad was
in construction for the longest and like just worked his
way up into like the office side of that business
by the time I had gotten to college. My mother
was a babysitter growing up. My aunt was the only
one who went to college and like four year got
(14:23):
a degree and I was in Trinidad. She she went
and got like her second master. But yeah, that's the
experience of most of my family, you know, most of
them are still in Trinidad, So absolutely I think that
that has spent.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, for sure, they probably go crazy for you.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Man, they need to they need to lock in for sure,
because every time I do go back, it's nothing but love.
It really really is.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So what do you even Like I feel like the
world could be yours right, Like, so what is what
is that?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Like? What is the dream?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
What is the five years from now?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The Globe, the Globe, the Globe. I would love to
go do Shakespeare at the Globe in London. I would
love to do that. That's been my dream forever. And
I actually was going to go to a conservatory that
like studied there at the Globe for a year, but
I ended up going to Cornell obviously, And so I
think that's just always been in my mind, like, h
(15:22):
like I have to at some point one day.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You studied theater at Cornell or no, No, you did not.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No, I studied human development, social and personality development.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
But you always knew you wanted to be to act.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, but I didn't know that it could be a
career for real until like someone told me that. Yeah,
like twenty fifteen, I had this mentor who said, like
sat me down and was like, hey, if you like this,
you deserve to do this for the rest of your life.
You could, you know why?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
What what made them see it?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was doing this competition called the Young Arts Competition,
and that is a whole story in it self, like
sixty thousand applicants across the country and I almost didn't apply.
I literally submitted my tape like two minutes before the deadline,
but was chosen like one of six people to go
for Spoken Theater went down to Miami for like a
(16:15):
week long intensive and at the end of the week
and they have all these crazy masterclass teachers like Felicia
Rashad was there, James Kahn from The Godfather, like it
was insane. And that was just for acting, like they
had like like I don't know, classical dance, ballet, jazz,
like all my crazy disciplines like sculpting, fine art.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It was.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It was madness. But in the acting part of it,
you have this like week long classes, workshops whatever. You're
working toward a performance that you have like five days
to put together like everybody does, and you rotate throughout
the week to see the performances and at the end
they choose like a guy and a girl each discipline
(17:00):
to be presidential scholars in the arts. And that's like
you go to the White House. She performed for like
at the John F. Kennedy Center, Like that's a whole
other thing. And so when we're doing like our exit interviews,
that's when the woman had sat me down. It was
like a board of like four four mentors. I want
to say, Wow, her name was Jen Waldman. She was
(17:21):
incredible and yeah she you know, they asked me how
my experience was and everything, and I started to cry,
oh no, And she said that she like, because I
just I never I don't know, like you just I
didn't grow up thinking that like what you enjoy could
be your life, you know, Like I grew up thinking
work is work. You know, you work hard, Yeah, and
(17:43):
you put your nose down and you do what you
