Right, and so then when you get out of that environment, you're like, okay, well then what am I supposed to be doing?

And so especially with where the industry is now, you still feel like that you're not doing enough, but then it's just like, but there's not enough.

We have the same amount of actors.

We have way less work than we used to.

And so...

It was always hard, but I'm always hard on, not hard on myself, but I want to feel like that I did well and I didn't always feel that way.

And I could, cause I could always see the thing that I needed to fix

But there was because here's the thing that people have to remember that's going to that's going to bother me.

One, I've never talked about the show this much and you can't talk about it because if you as a black person have a job like that and you are not grace and you are not 100 percent grateful and in tears that you got the opportunity, people want to think you were ungrateful and you didn't deserve it.

And, but what I wanna do is talk about the realities of a situation, that when you work in a creative space, you are still working a job.

I just tell one of my friends, she was talking about acting this and acting that, I was like, you have to understand, as a performer, you are cornflakes.

You are a product that is bought and sold.

That is the nature, that's why we have a union.

That's why most professions like this, that's why writers have a union.

Writers produce a product.

That's why actors have a union.

We are the product.

And so when I first went with my reps that I still have now, I left and came back, I walked into the meeting and I said, listen, I'm a product that is bought and sold.

Are y'all the ones that can sell me the best?

And my agent, who's been an agent now for 30 years, he said, she gets it.
