00:00Our parents don't think that we have jobs until they see us on TV.
00:06My dream creative collaborator is...
00:09Tochi. She's so contemporary. And also, James Baldwin.
00:12If he were around nowadays or someone from that era,
00:16they would provoke the artists in all of us to create deeper, better.
00:19The most underrated item in your kit is...
00:22Glue. I actually tack down the brows and it keeps them in place all day.
00:26So brows, listen, I'm black. It doesn't work on my hair texture.
00:29I've been using it since drag queens talking about this in the 90s.
00:32Something I absolutely can't live without is...
00:35Sage. It really does purify the air.
00:37Do you have crystals at home too?
00:38I have them in my pocket.
00:39Wait, I'm dying. I was saying that jokingly.
00:41Makeup as armor or makeup as freedom?
00:43Makeup as freedom, A.
00:45But I've seen the power of makeup or beauty create a different perspective in a person.
00:51Their body language changes.
00:53So I want to say they're free enough to be themselves.
00:56The next generation of artists need to know...
00:58They need to listen to their voices in their head.
01:00Whatever you're hearing, if you're hearing, seeing a closed door,
01:03that means that that company or that person wasn't just meant to work with you at that time.
01:06I have delirious optimism and I always feel like I'm going to get what I need
01:10or what I really want to pour myself into.
01:13And I tell every other creative to do the thing.
01:15You have to know how to campaign for yourself, guys.
01:16You have to say, I'm going to be a little bit of a straight forward.
01:16You have to know how to campaign for yourself.
