This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. And we all, well, those in my generation watch this young lady grow up as Ashley Banks on the

fresh prince of Belair, but she is grown up, she's a grown grown ass woman out there doing grown ass

women things and she is starring currently in an amazing movie also

starring Oscar winner Lou Gossa Jr I can't wait to hear about this. Let me welcome to the show.

The star of The Reason, Ms. Tatiana Ali, welcome.

Hello, thank you for having me. Hi. Hey, hey, you know, it's weird seeing you be an adult, you know,

you know, because again, you know, last I saw Carlton and will were behind you dancing while you were singing and you know you you

would you know the cute little girl in the family Uncle Phil and everything and now you're out there and you've been doing your

own thing, recording career, etc.

Is it hard when people don't allow you to grow up? I guess I don't,

I mean, is it that hard? I don't know. I think there was a time when it probably was like, you know, in my 20s where I was still, you know, you're still kind of defensive and like rebellion against things but

honestly now you know I'm just I'm on a mission to just you know like make my art and

work and and so they so they're like bigger fish to fry.

I mean, so let's say it that much.

Let's set the record straight.

You went to Harvard, you got kids, you are married, you know kids you are married you know you you are you know talk

talk about being a mom because I think that's important yes I'm I'm the mom of a

mom of two boys four a four-year-old and a 16-month-old and they are just, I sigh at least, you know, several times every day.

They're just like, they're incredible.

I'm just amazed at how they just came here,

who they, you know, they're just who they are.

Like that's, they came here and I'm just very grateful that they chose me to be their mom.
