| 0:00.0 | So I wanted to get on here and I really wanted to speak on overall why I moved to Los Angeles, California. |
| 0:15.5 | So as you guys now, I moved to Los Angeles, California during the pandemic. |
| 0:19.0 | So I moved here once we hit the new years of 2021. |
| 0:22.4 | I said, fuck that shit. We've been in this pandemic for almost a year. I'm going to get the |
| 0:26.2 | fuck out of Florida. I'm tired of being in this damn town. And I want to be Los Angeles. |
| 0:30.2 | As you guys know, I'm from Miami, Florida. Grew up in Miami. And I spent a good check in my time, |
| 0:35.3 | staying in the up north part of Florida so I stayed in a |
| 0:37.9 | small town in Florida and then I eventually decided to say fuck it and move to LA now my rent back |
| 0:43.0 | in Florida was around 1,010 a month I had a nice two-bedroom apartment there was also a half bath |
| 0:51.1 | downstairs I had a spacious backyard area and all my utilities were roughly around in total, including |
| 0:58.4 | internet, $1.90 a month. |
| 1:02.0 | So I was living pretty comfortably just paying $1,000 a month. |
| 1:04.7 | I was thinking even more because I let my brother move in with me and we were splitting |
| 1:08.1 | the rent. |
| 1:09.1 | I was able to travel so much and enjoy the world. I had an ample opportunity to invest and for opportunity to save my money and I just stayed home most of the times when I wasn't traveling but I decided to move to Los Angeles because I felt stagnant like I wasn't growing I felt like I needed to get out of my comfort zone and grow you know what they always say a shark can't outgrow his environment so if you really want to grow, you kind of gotta leave your hometown. I hate to say it, but leave your fucking hometown if you haven't already. Because listen, if you don't leave your hometown, you're gonna be around the same exact people that you went to high school with, the same people you went to college with, the same people you've been seen for the past 10, 20 years. And a lot of you guys probably have no issue with that. |
| 1:45.4 | But sometimes if you feel like you're not growing, maybe it's time to make a change. But only do that if you don't have no kids, if you ain't got no relationship, and you don't have no reason to stay there. If you feel like you could easily just transfer your job where you want something different and want a whole new life, just pack your shit, save up some money on the side and move to a small town that's more affordable. It doesn't have to be a big city like Atlanta or Houston or Dallas or all these big cities like the DMV or Nashville like I want to go to. You can move to a thing that's 10 hours away, 8 hours away, 5 hours away, and you don't need to be in a situation where you even have to have roommates. You could just live alone, live by yourself, make new friends, go on Tinder, date people, get to know people, you know, start a hobby, do things you've always wanted to do because realistically, when you look back at your hometown, you look back at all the things around you, you think everything looks the same. Everybody's the same and nobody's ever |
| 2:34.7 | growing. You know, you grow around a whole bunch of miserable people who are living regular to |
| 2:38.5 | their regular lives. And some people are happy living their regular lives, but others are |
| 2:42.9 | miserable to the point where they just have this crabs in the bucket mentality. So sometimes |
| 2:47.5 | it can be draining being around people that you grew up with your entire life. So I kind of just got into that mindset of if I want to grow, I got to move to a state I'm always going to go to. What's the city I've always wanted to go to? New York or California. And I just moved to California, more specifically the city of Los Angeles, because I felt as though that I want to add to my resume. I want to do some things in the acting realm. I want to do |
| 3:07.6 | executive producing. I want to be a casting director. I want to do a lot of things in entertainment industry. I want to get involved because as you guys know, I always complain about how there's a lack of representation for many different groups in the entertainment community. You don't see much representation for the black community, especially not black women. You don't really see much representation for the Hispanic community, the native community, but more specifically, you don't really see much of it for the black community, and I really want to see more diverse things. I wanted to be the change I wanted to see in the world. I wanted to be out there to where I'm sitting at these tables and I'm at these desks, and I'm at these scenes where I'm able to integrate my ideas and opinions and add to my resume at the same time. So I figured coming to Los Angeles would be the best place to be because as you guys know, Los Angeles is a city of dreamer, city of angels, where everybody comes here to be in the entertainment industry. So you kind of have to be here if you want to be in the entertainment industry or you have to go to Atlanta or New York, but mostly everything is in Los Angeles. |
| 3:58.0 | So I figured if I wanted to be big in the entertainment industry at all, and I wanted to be more |
