Hey Daniela, can you hear us? Hello. I can hear you. Can you hear me? I can hear you loud and clear.

How are you? Nice to see you. I'm good. And I do wave my anonymity. There we go. That's got

that out of the way. Early, isn't it? That's that's great. Everyone's happy now. Excellent.

I mean, maybe you could just take a moment as you just to tell us a little bit about yourself,

you're back. I mean, where would you even start at this point? So I usually start by saying that

I was born in a cult. So I was born in the children of God, religious, sex cult. And I was actually

born three generations in. So my grandfather was the one that joined the cult in the late 60s,

along with many, many Americans when it was our sort of era of cults. And then my mother was one

of the first children born into the cult and grew up very close to all the leadership. I was born

in 1987 to her when she was 15 after she was impregnated by one of the prophets,

senior lieutenants, who just so happened to be older than my grandfather. So yes, my father's

older, the big grandfather. And I was then raised in this world of basically big commune walls. I was

all over Asia and then Latin America in my first 15 years in the cult. And we, you know,

described it as probably something like growing up in a group home, but just with a lot of Jesus,

like we were very institutionalized, no spontaneous moments of joy. And what's more, I think,

important about cults is they are always about labor. So we were the workforce as children. We were

the ones that kept the commune running, doing all the labor. And we were also the ones out on the

streets selling literature, selling videos of and dancing and performing all of this, which I was a

part of as a child's actress as well. Wow, that is a lot. So I mean, this first of all, where were

you born? I was born in the Philippines in Manila in 1987. And my mom was a 15 year old unmarried

American at the time. So I got an American passport. Why was she there at that time? In the cult.

That's where the cult leader was living was in the Philippines at the time. And it's interesting.
