Don Cheadle

Yeah.

I mean we were following them and Donald and people you know where it's like okay right yeah you make sketches and you post them online or you tweet or you know you do funny Instagram posts you make videos like you do these things at the same time though those are also the people with like Rachel and I would ride the train and we would swap sets and give each other notes on our sets you know and I would go to Quinta and she'd be like cool I went to this you know I did sets here here and here Zach went here here and here

These rooms are good for this.

These rooms are good for that.

Like we were doing work in the real world as well as online.

And I think exchanging information with each other as well.

Not wanting to gatekeep from each other.

Because to what you're saying also like…

i really was resonating with that like oh the people that i was friends with and that i connected with and i still feel connected to i don't think um ever felt like that threat of like i have to be the only one in the room you know like i really do believe and there's more friends that i just will not name drop but i love regularly but where it's like we all knew that there was space for each other that's

Especially amongst like black women.

I remember like having a conversation and then like in the name drop.

But like with Ziwe at a job when she was writing and I was still assisting.

And she was like, yeah, well that's like obviously like a trick that they want to play on us to cut each other out.

there's space for all of us yes and if there isn't then we make space for each other duh there you go and I felt like I was like such a little baby writer and I was like thank God you know like there's people like that good and Janelle James was at that same job and it was the same thing she was like yeah they're not gonna no way yeah

You think they're going to get us?

No.

We stay in it.

And that is, I think, a real skill.

That endurance.

That, you know, fortitude.
