00:00You must be blown away by the success of the show.

00:02It's crazy.

00:03Right?

00:03It hasn't even gotten to the high point yet.

00:05We're just on episode 8, Lance, tonight.

00:08It's such a great episode.

00:10Episode 9, episode 10.

00:12It's that we're really...

00:13We have to raise the bar.

00:15It's actually a train of our way.

00:17Our showman, our Charlotte, and Mimi, and all the producers.

00:20We've got such a great thing about you.

00:22Um, are you...

00:24Your character kills me, because I feel like...

00:27I just...

00:28I'm not black, but I just imagine, like, the s*** that...

00:33Black women go through.

00:33Yeah, that black women go through.

00:35We've got through a lot of s***, yeah.

00:36I mean, I just...

00:38And especially, I imagine, on a show like, in that setting.

00:42Yeah, in that world of UBN, UBN News.

00:45It's kind of...

00:45Yeah, and we chronicle it to some extent, but I think it's also sort of this journey of women

00:50who are trying to make their way up that ladder, right?

00:53That corporate ladder.

00:54And what a creative, and that YouTube way that our showrunner has helped us.

00:58I just feel so lucky to be able to do it right now, in a particular political climate.

01:06Like, it's very interesting to see the responses coming in.

01:09And I think that's part of the reason why people are so hungry and interested in the story.

01:14Because there is so much happening right now.

01:16They want something entertaining.

01:17It sort of reflects back where they are.

01:19I think the morning show does that really good at this.

01:21Have you had black women who work in, like, morning shows come up to you and talk about it?

01:27I've had black women who come from all walks of life.

01:30Because, as you know, we're elevating.

01:32We're moving up.

01:33All of us as women in this interesting way in this generation.

01:36And so, yeah, my DMs are filled with women who are saying,

01:39you do matters to me.

01:40You represent something important to me.

01:42Keep doing what you're doing.

01:44Keep going.

01:44See you.

01:46And that really is important.

01:47Because, you know, in your own life, you're just drudging through sometimes.

01:51Do you know what I mean?

01:52So it makes a difference that people can see me and say that.

01:56What, my last question, what acting tips have you given race and Jen?

02:00Which what?

02:01Acting tips have you given race and Jen?

02:03Absolutely zero.

02:03I'm not joking, even though acting tips, they don't need anyone.
