Do you think your Harlem 6'2 drama professor expected to stay you where you are now?

No, no, I don't think so. And that's that, honestly, that's one of the, when you talked about earlier, the things that I've lost, that's one of the individuals that I lost one of the reasons I got into acting was

be able to express everything and all things that you believe and think and then I

found out except for if you're conservative except for if you believe in God welcome to

the Michelle Tofoya podcast.

Because voices like Siakas are voices you're going to want to know about.

So this man is an actor.

And he didn't always plan on becoming an actor. And now that he is an actor, he's found it's a little bit difficult to be a Christian conservative black man in Hollywood. And he's going to tell you

why. He's going to tell you how he's sobered up. He's going to tell you how he discovered he was a

conservative because he didn't always vote that way. And he's going to tell you why he was at the

Capitol on January 6th and what has happened to him since. It may be alarming to you as it has been

to me. I've repeated this before. I've been a bit

agnostic on the events of January 6th. There were some tragic things that happened, but I think

the response, the reaction, the arrests of a lot of these people have been scary, a little startling.

It's been eye-opening to me to learn more about this. And so I am not

a conspiracy theorist, but I am into listening to people. I didn't think I necessarily needed

to listen to before. And that's what we're doing here with Siaka Masacqua, and I have found

it to be very enlightening. I hope you will discover

the same. You may have seen him on television in the series SWAT or the TV series Lethal

Weapon 2, but the things he's doing now are more comedic in nature and phenomenal. They're fantastic.
