You know what? I would be too a little, just a little bit. But I didn't know. It was so amazing. And she was so giving and warm. And every single time, I truly didn't judge Shawna because it's like she was trying. I truly believe she did the best she could in each moment, even if it failed, which she did a lot.
Mm-hmm. Yes. I went back to school and got my master's degree last year. Yes.
In African and African Diaspora Studies.
I did the whole thing. It was after, you know, the pandemic and then the strikes. And I always wanted to go back to school. And I was like, Joy, no one is going to stop time for you to do this. So I applied and I went back and I've always been interested in representations of Black women on screen. So I want to marry the academic and the artistry together is my ultimate goal in life.
So I went back and did it.
I'm a golfer, yeah.
I do a lot of things. It's so funny. I was at the course, was it yesterday or two days ago? So I'm not teaching. I'm teaching my friends. But I'm playing still. Yes, absolutely.
Much less these days, but I want to get back into it. I had a great group of women that I played with, and then everyone moved on to different stages of life. But if you're a female golfer, please come. It was pickleball, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Yes, people still scream, Deja's mama.
Manny!
Hey, Deja's mama. I often see that clip, our first clip, circulating where everyone's like, oh, he told her about the headscarf and the clip. So they're still reading me, yes. But I actually have gotten a lot of love from people who were foster children or who went through the system and how much they related to both Deja and Shawna's perspectives on things. And that's always really heartwarming.
I'm sure.
You know, it is troubling, and I hope, and that's what I felt in those moments, that she was wrestling with that decision. Yeah. You know, coming to the house, watching you all watch the film, I don't think she knew what she was going to do when she first came over and asking for help. But by the time we meet each other on the stairwell, it was almost as if I had said everything that I could.
And now it's like I'm passing an emotional baton. And also I would like to think that she wanted to go get herself together so she could come back better. It's always about coming back better for Shawna.
But it definitely was a wrestling of emotions for sure.
I know. I know.
Just leaving him with Lonzo and his friends. I was like, this is, this will not end well.
Questionable decisions were made. Yes.
Truly.
