Mo Brown Sugar's Bodega.

Thank you so much. I'm really receiving what you're saying because it was definitely a challenge to get the show done, especially working through the pandemic. And there were some people that wanted me to put the masks in it and stuff like that. And I said, well, I had to really say, I want this to be a timeless piece of work. I don't really want to date this.

So I wanted it to be something that can go for a lot of years within this decade, I guess. And gentrification, the reason why it was so important to put it in was because when we first started filming, I can't remember which episode it was, but when we got to the bodega, we set up everything.

And just as we were about to get the first shot in, somebody comes in and they say, we have to shut the shoot down. And I'm like, Well, why? What's happening? And they were closing the bodega because they were the neighborhood was being turned into something else. And it was quite devastating. I had all of my cast and crew there.

And, you know, everyone really did try to go down to another street to get another bodega for us to film in that day. But it just wasn't. I said, you know, I'm going to make an executive decision. We're going to reschedule this. We're going to find a new bodega. But to experience being shut down. And I went back the next week and it was gone, like completely gone. And I was like, wow.

And now they're high rise buildings. So I said, this is real. This is real life. This is happening. And the only way for us to shift this or change this or have awareness is for me to talk about it. And so I was really glad that my friend Jen was all for it. The wonderful, we'll say the wonderful white girl in the story. That is my girl. She was like, yeah, let's do it. We live here now.

I was really grateful to do that. And we have such a melting pot here in New York, you know? And so it was just important to tell what's happening in Brooklyn.
