00:00I was name-checked in a song about embracing our complexion, which is like a legacy building that I didn't
00:09know I was going to be a part of, you know?
00:10This is from Brown Skin Girl that is part of Black is King.
00:14The story of this one starts with me learning that I had been name-checked in Beyonce's song.
00:20I was in London working on a movie and I happened to have an interview and the interviewer said to
00:27me, how do you feel about being name-checked by Beyonce?
00:31And I was like, excuse me, what?
00:34And she was like, yeah, this morning a song has been released and you're name-checked on it.
00:37I hadn't heard it.
00:39So I was like, well, don't mess it for me.
00:41I'm going to go check it out.
00:43So I don't even remember the rest of that day.
00:46I went home and then I played this song.
00:49What I remember doing is jumping on my bed.
