00:00Hey, I'm Ziya Wade. I'm here with Seventeen, and this is Seventeen Questions.
00:08Lots and lots of coffee, the answer to a lot of questions.
00:12Music, good music, and laughs with a bunch of friends.
00:20Oh, this might be controversial, but a bubble skirt, I said it.
00:27If you could work with any other model, who would it be?
00:30I don't care. Easy.
00:32Were you nervous walking in Paris Fashion Week?
00:34I was so nervous, but my family and team were so wonderful.
00:39They basically handled the whole thing for me, so I just had to just make sure I did it right.
00:46What was the best day you ever had?
00:47Definitely the day that my name got legalized.
00:50Officially Ziya.
00:54What are your number one tips for acing AP classes?
00:57Lots and lots and lots of coffee.
00:59Lots and lots and lots of notes that take way too long.
01:04And reaching out to friends and teachers, like you.
01:07I know. Thank you. Thank you.
01:10I mean, you never was. You also are mine.
01:14What's your favorite thing about your personality?
01:16Um, probably that it changes depending on whoever I'm around.
01:22Fill in the blanks. I always blank and I never blank.
01:25Well, one, I always laugh. And two, I never leave my mouth open. I always cover it.
01:34Who was the last person to leave you starstruck?
01:38Uh, T.S. Madison. We were watching a fashion show together.
01:43What's an unpopular opinion you have?
01:45I don't like loafers. I'm sorry. I know. We live in California, so that's really touchy, but...
01:51How passionate do you feel about this take?
01:53Very. Very.
01:58I'm sorry. I'm sorry to go for the loafer, people on set. Guys, I'm sorry. I just can't with the loafer anymore.
02:04Hey, girl. Hey, girl. My two questions for you are, one, what song do you have on repeat right now?
02:13And the second part of the question, who's your favorite, like, newly discovered artist?
02:18Ooh, song on repeat. Balloon, um, by Tyler, the creator, featuring Jochi.
02:23And then on that note, Jochi, like, we're all on Jochi right now, like...
02:27As you should be.
02:29Exactly. Lyric, lyric, lyric. Thank you.
02:31How do you turn around a bad day?
02:35A nice face time with friends, meditation, and the longest of showers.
02:41What's one place on your travel bucket list?
02:43Oh my god, that's so hard. There are so many places. Um, I'm gonna list more than one. Sorry.
02:47Singapore, India, Brazil.
02:51How would your besties describe you in three words?
02:53Dramatic. Funny. Probably mean. But I'm not really mean.
03:02Your dad is outspoken about how proud he is of you. Describe a moment you were proud of him.
03:07Well, I have a lot of material to pull from, but I guess the most recent is when he got his statue.
03:12I can't express just how proud I was that he had something like that to represent all that he's done.
03:17What's the best advice your stepmom, Gabrielle Union, has given you?
03:22Block out all of that hatred, because none of it matters, like, at all.
03:26It took a long time for me to really get what that meant, but here I am.
03:33Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
03:35Probably, hopefully, as an award-winning scientist and a fashionista to the gods.
03:42I actually look for an example in the early days.
03:59What have you been here when I was about to see myself in 10 years?
04:01I'm seeing you guys out there in the early days, right?
04:03I'm going to give a chance if you really see myself in the early days.
04:05This very well.
04:05I was just waiting to hear you.
04:07I'm going to hear you.
04:08I'm going to hear you guys tell me.
04:08You can hear me.
04:10I'm going to hear you.
04:10I'm going to hear you.
04:11I'm going to hear you.
