So damn happy to have you here. I'm so excited. I've been such a fan of

Old school. And we can even go like further back from the brick wall – my ass was jumping

Yeah.  We still do it now, we just do it like green screen and other stuff.

So, you know, you are brilliant in so many ways and we have so many good things to talk

about. But I want to take it back to what inspired you. I know you were blogging in

middle school and then you got on YouTube. What was the impulse to start creating, to

start sharing, to start putting stuff out online?

I am very much an only child. And so I think when you don't have siblings, you need to

find ways to entertain yourself, and the computer was really that for me. And I always wanted

to be an actor, I was always interested in the arts and media, and so the internet was

really a great place for me to combine my interest in technology and also creating content

and media. And as someone that was just struggling to get acting work, YouTube was a really great

Yeah, actor and also like beauty. So when I started – I've had locs for 14 years

and it's really exciting because now the natural hair space is so, you know, vibrant.

There's so many places that you can find things, stores you can buy products for natural

hair. But when I started there – it just did not exist.

And so I was looking for help with my hair and I couldn't find it, so I started making

videos about my hair. But they were funny because that's like my personality, and

so I started expanding into more characters and sketch and really just making things that

Was it ever – like when you were thinking about comedy, like did you have training in

that or was that just your natural personality?

I went to school for acting. I went to a performing arts middle and high school and then I went

to University of Michigan for acting, and then I transferred schools and studied graphic

design. But then I did stand-up for about four years before I got really serious about

YouTube. I like to go to bed early and so stand-up shows always start super late. I

was like, “Do you guys have anything at like 3:00 or like mornings?” And they don't.

So I was like I'm not gonna do this anymore. I'm gonna just stick to YouTube because

I can make my own schedule and meet people and also make a little bit of money, which

Yeah. And one of the things that I love about you, you know, so many people in our community

– I consider them, they consider themselves, multipassionate entrepreneurs. They do a bunch

of things. And I love – first of all, your website is gorgeous.

But I loved – it was like actress/ comedian … or actor/ comedian, blogger, graphic designer,

like all the slashes. And I was like yes, yes, yes.

It's funny because there – when I was growing up and when I was in school and I

was interested in all these different things I would constantly run into people in my family

and at school who would say, “You have to pick one.” and I thought, “Well, I don't

want to pick one. I like all of these things.”

And I very much think that if you have lots of different interests, you should explore

them to the best of your ability. Because you never know how they're gonna interplay

or which one is gonna really take off. And for me, like my graphic design stuff helped

me have a great website and make sure that I had beautiful business cards and help me

edit my videos. My interest in beauty and hair, you know, make sure I look cute when

I go on auditions. Like, all of those things really work together for me.

Yeah. And then it seems like they all – in my life too, they converge at some point.

In the beginning it could almost feel like you're scattered. At least that's how

I felt. All these different things that I wanted to do, but if you have that sense of

courage and the willingness like “I'm just gonna keep going for it.”

Absolutely. And even if they don't fit together in a traditional sense, I feel like all the

more reason for you to try and figure out a way to make it work. Because that's gonna

separate you from the pack. You're gonna be able to differentiate yourself and create

a brand that's really unique to you because someone's gonna say, “Huh, I never thought

of fashion and fitness fitting together,” but maybe there's a way that you can, you

Yes. So speaking of multipassionate, because I know what's a struggle for a lot of folks

that are watching, when they do have multiple interests, if things do start to take off,

have you ever had a point whether it's in, you know, the past 10 years or even more recently,

where the multiple passions are almost fighting with each other?

Where you're starting to get stuff – maybe it's rolling in the beauty sense or maybe

it's more people want you to speak on tech or you're like, “Oh, my goodness. But

I have these projects that I want to do and start pitching shows.” How have you been

I am someone who lives by my calendar. So I love making sure that I schedule everything.

Whether it's “I'm gonna be on MarieTV” or “I've got an audition” or even when

it's just like getting coffee with a friend or doing a phone call catch up with someone

I went to high school with, I put it all on my calendar.

And so I really try to stick to that, but also keep myself a personal day. So I really
