00:00Yeah, sometimes memes just say what I can't.
00:16Sometimes I'm like, you could just quit, but then something else comes out of nowhere and
00:19then I keep going.
00:44You're short.
00:45You shop at the baby gap.
00:49People treat being short like there's something wrong with you, like you're very other.
00:54It's what I would imagine racism feels like, I don't know.
00:57I was actually doing stuff, stage, improv, stuff like that.
01:19And then I put a video online when Instagram first got video and it happened to go super
01:26viral.
01:27Hey, thanks for taking me to do laundry because you know I was not doing it by myself.
01:38Oh, I forgot to get quarters.
01:41Hey, don't worry.
01:42You know I got quarters.
01:45I got money.
01:59Memes are, I compare them to like hieroglyphics, kind of.
02:03There are these pictures that we share that mean different things to different people.
02:15Oh, black girl magic for real.
02:41Well, good morning.
02:44God is good all the time.
02:57Like she means well, uh, in, in, in theaters, June 15th.
03:01And by in theaters, I mean on your bookshelf.
03:04There's a bunch of them too, so you can, you can buy them.
03:23I know this school is rough, but we make do.
03:31But I just think people who maybe don't have a teacher so close in their life don't know
03:35how big the job is.
03:37And it's one of the reasons why I firmly believe they should be paid more.
03:50I think everyone's creative journey is different.
03:52For me, the internet, testing with audiences, seeing what hits, it really helped me.
04:00Yeah.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Yeah.
