You know, I have a family that takes pride in us as individuals, both me and my brothers, handling our money and having a grasp of money management. So I'm like, we've never had a fear that one day it's going to be gone because I know where it all is.

I was doing an interview about money yesterday and they were like, so what were your money troubles? And I'm like... You got to see how I was raised. I'm so again, I feel so lucky. I'm like, I was raised with a family that was so intentional about being like, we want you to feel in charge and autonomous and we're here to guide you. But I was going, mommy set it up.

So I'd go make friends with accounting at Blackish and I'd go pick up my check every week where typically you don't see it as an actor. It gets sent to your team and then you see kind of the end result. I got to see it. I got to see how much the percentages were. I got to see. What the taxes were, and I was able to check.

I remember one time there was the wrong amount on my check, and I was savvy enough at 14 to be like, hey, this isn't the right amount.

They're like, oh, yeah, you're right. So I'm saying, again, it is easy to feel guilty, to be like, why have I had it so good in the general scheme of things? Uh-huh. And I really couldn't tell you why, but I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that even on this road to self-discovery, I do have to say I've known myself pretty well.

And so I'm realizing that some of this is the result of having known myself and continuing to learn myself.

They let me be so quirky, you know, like it did not cross my mind.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I think, I mean, part of it- Like intense work and effort, but not extreme adversities. Yeah. And I think- For me, there are two things I realize. One, I think I minimize maybe some of the challenges I do face. We're also dealing with a lot of pressures from just being in the industry and all these different things.

I think some of it is that because I've moved through it, eventually, sometimes I think my ability to look back with the rose-colored lenses, I'm like... No challenges. Mind you, while we were in it, deeply challenging. So some of it is that I do know I'm minimizing past challenges and I'm trying to come to terms with just being more honest with that. But I think some of it too is just knowing
