00:00I'm super excited to be here because this is where so many films first got their start.
00:18So it's like to be here is a part of the dream coming true.
00:22I'm so excited to be here just to, you know, help promote Beat Mary Jane and Gabby's project
00:27and, you know, Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil.
00:30I'm just grateful to be a part of it.
00:32I play Mary Jane.
00:34She's fierce, fly, and incredibly flawed.
00:38Her love life is in a shambles.
00:41Her family life is not as ideal as she'd like.
00:46And she's still fighting, you know, to kind of prove herself.
00:49Tanya is the crazy opposite of Gabby's character, Mary Jane.
00:55She gives advice that is very politically incorrect.
01:02I think it was just the reality of moments.
01:04You know, for me, it's always trying to portray moments in a way that people can recognize them.
01:10I don't want to get too fancy where, you know, you're looking at it from the standpoint of observation.
01:17I want you to look at it from the standpoint of experience.
01:19So it was just keeping it, as they say, keeping it real enough for people to identify with it.
01:25Part of why I related to the character and fell in love with the project, I get her, I live her, I am her.
01:32So I'm kind of excited.
