00:00Listen, you are my Emmys bestie this weekend. We've been the last 24 hours together. We had we had a great time
00:06I mean there were revolving beds involved. We won't say anymore
00:10Yeah, it was it was quite the time. We won't spill all the tea now. We're being very demure. We're at a tea party
00:16How does it feel to be here with BAFTA? This is insane. This is amazing
00:20I'm so happy to be invited and especially as a nominee this year that the BAFTA tea party is back and I get to be
00:26Here in the presence of so many legends that I just admire so fully
00:31Like dreams really do come true. Yeah
00:34I know first time Emmy nominee. Have you had time to process it? Is it just been go-go-go this whole weekend?
00:40It's it's been so go-go-go
00:42But I was actually having a conversation with Cherilee Ralph earlier who is such I mean like just heart of heart soul of souls
00:49Like she is so incredible and she was like we show up like that is what we do
00:54We show up and sometimes that's what keeps the opportunities going
00:58By being able to show up show up for ourselves show up for our work and make our presence known
01:03And I just I really felt that and so I'm I'm honoring the space that I get to occupy and I was grateful for her words
01:09No, and I know last night when we were talking
01:12I know we mentioned that you had mentioned that Viola Davis was someone that you had really built a strong friendship with
01:18Through doing how to get away with murder and someone that you might possibly run into at one of these events this weekend
01:23What does her friendship mean to you and having her as you navigate through this industry?
01:27you know the thing that I love about Viola is that she's so honest and raw and real and she wants
01:33She wants to be able to uplift you and she also wants to be able to give you the confidence to
01:38Be who you are
01:39Like I I think we get into industries like this and we think we have to like change or manipulate
01:44Ourselves into being something else in order to be palpable for other people and she's like have integrity be vulnerable
01:51Be genuine and like and that is enough like you are enough
01:56So I know we are at a tea party
