Thank you for letting me be here, you know, when it was my turn. So it's really nice to see the progression. It's nice to see that the work you do opens the doors for others to follow. Working on this, the play that I did this summer at Stratford, Get That Hope, I worked with two younger actors who are phenomenally gifted, Savian Roach and Celia Loma.

And, you know, they came with such a level of respect for what Conrad Coates and I had already done in our careers. And they were just eager sponges. And I realized that I still have a lot to share. You know, there are things that I've learned throughout my career in terms of acting technique, in terms of the business itself, that really is valuable to the next generation.

So there are many reasons to be doing this. And they're all really fulfilling.

Well, I mean, I won't say that I didn't have guidance and wisdom. I did. You know, there was a generation that came before me and they were, you know, knocking down those doors as well.

So luckily I had a couple of mentors who shared their experience with me. And also most of them were not of color, you know, because at that point in time, there weren't a lot of sisters doing what I'm doing. Right. So I had good teachers, you know, very good allies, people who really just believed in my talent and wanted to see me succeed.

But also, like I said, it's always been a thing that I love to do. So, you know, I say this to anybody who's pursuing, you know, all the time, they're like, how do you make it as an actor? How do you keep up? I'm just like, if it's in you, it's in you.

It's something you're going to have to let out, you know, so just do your work, be good at it, you know, always be working, always be training, whether you're being paid or not. You know, I remember when we started, our friends used to get together, actor friends, and we'd do our own scene study classes, you know, where we'd bring in
