00:00And was this your first time working with Kenya?
00:02We worked together on Black AF.
00:06Oh, right.
00:07And I played a publicist role, which was like hilarious and like based off of my good friend Marvette Burrito.
00:13Yes.
00:13Because she's always busy and talking and chatting and just moving through the room.
00:18And so I love Kenya.
00:21I think his sensibility with comedy is great.
00:23Yeah.
00:23We are, you know, we're in this time in the world where we get to tell these stories that were sort of silenced before.
00:33And I think Kenya has a way of telling stories that's really audacious and risky and smart and honest and uncomfortable.
00:43Yeah.
00:44And we need that.
00:45We need that because that's the only way we get to better understand it.
