You've got a Tony nomination and a Tony pin
0:09
Oh my God. I know. I love my pin. You're never going to take it off, are you
0:13
Ever. Ever. I'm going to be at the Walmart like, Tony, can I get the toilet paper, you know

What does this nomination mean to you? It means so much to me, my entire family
0:24
I just think of all the years my mother put up with me and my singing classes, my dancing classes, my theater classes
0:30
She really sacrificed to get me here. And that I get to share this work with the Broadway community
0:36
It means so much to me. Talk about this show and what's made it so special for you
0:41
I think what made Jaja's African Hair Braiding so special for me
0:46
was the feeling it gave me. Not just me, but everyone in the audience
0:51
You really left that show feeling like you experienced a slice of life
0:55
and it was a big slice, a full slice. You laughed, you cried. It was theater
0:59
It's what theater's supposed to be. So I think it means so much
1:03
Of course I'm a black woman and those are black women's stories and working with Jocelyn
1:08
but that everybody could be a part of the experience, you know? That's the most important thing to me
