Okay. Raga Muffin. Um but now she got a
0:27
very talented friend here.

1:13
And Ela Ela Thompson here. Yep. Yep. Um,
1:18
but this is super special as as Quesy
1:21
was saying like this is an intersection
1:23
of like luck and hard work
1:25
to see someone from high school at the
1:28
heights of her career
1:30
and collaborating with great people like
1:31
this. I'm I'm blown away.
1:33
Wow. Well, she she's quite awesome. So,
1:36
uh, very thorough and very bossy. Was
1:38
she like that in high school?
1:41
Let me tell you to say that she's a
1:42
leader. Sway. It sounds like that's
1:44
And you want to know what? She's always
1:46
been a trail a trailblazer and a trends
1:50
Yeah. So it it makes sense that she's in
1:52
charge of digital. It makes sense. It
1:55
She is in charge too though. Uh what was
1:58
So she was that way in high school. What
1:59
were you like in what was he like? Could
2:01
you have ever foresaw this Quy?
2:04
I feel so I think so. It wasn't a
2:05
surprise. Like he said like I feel like
2:08
high school kind of gave us the tools to
2:11
do basically whatever we wanted. And I
2:13
feel like I always saw this for him. He
2:14
was in, weren't you in a drama club?
2:16
Yeah, I was running track and field as
2:18
everyone does, sneaking away to go
2:21
practice or rehearse and perform when I
2:24
and it led to Morehouse. Morehouse led
2:27
to UCLA, led to Oxford, and then
2:30
I just kept the ball rolling, you know.
2:33
Your torch looked up when you said
2:34
Oxford. You're looking to Harlem ain't
2:36
like Oxford. Um, you know, it's
2:39
interesting, Qu, you just asked. Weren't

2:47
Let me tell you something, okay? Right
2:50
At Gella Road from beginning of the day
2:53
to the end of the day.

2:57
that's the thing to like as I'm telling
2:59

3:04

For for a few years, they've been
3:22
working on it, but this production is
3:24
unlike anything that you're going to see

3:28
amalgamation of scenic design, character
3:32
work, and storytelling. And we're using
3:34

3:38
and tricks and all kinds of surprises.
