00:00Oh my gosh. Listen, Zendaya, Met Gala. Dior, Galeon? No.
00:08My name is Amina Nieves and I'm on InStyle's Breakthrough List.
00:12My first job was, well, I was a musician before, so I used to actually play gigs with my best friend Panda.
00:21And we would just go around, yeah, and play little acoustic gigs as teenagers.
00:25And then, as a teenager, I became a doula, so there's that.
00:30Zendaya, Met Gala, Dior Galeano, rent-free in here all day, every day.
00:37It was beautiful, the makeup, just her, because it's Zendaya.
00:44Just everything about it was perfect.
00:46My mind, if you know me in real life, you would understand this, Michael Scott.
00:50And, like, the biopic needs to be The Office.
00:54I have ADHD.
00:55So, The Office is, like, living rent-free in my brain 24-7 more than Zendaya.
01:00I love you, Zendaya.
01:01But, Michael Scott is me.
01:04I think I did this scene in acting class in high school.
01:08And that's when I shifted my music career going forward to my acting career.
01:13It was very cathartic.
01:15It was a scene where I was portraying this woman
01:19that was going through something very similar in my life at the time.
01:22And I was very proud of myself for doing it,
01:25and that I could memorize lines,
01:27because I never thought I would be able to memorize anything ever again.
01:30So, yeah, I think that was the turning point for me.
01:32I think that was the turning point for me.
01:33I think that was the turning point for me.
