We're all my children at a light like born in the synonym but steady's

driving to do right. My people are the warriors. All we know is the fight for

prince. They see God and everything got right here. This is really my first

conversation. First, real public conversation since George Floyd's death. And

you know, when it happened, I immediately saw the world shifting. I could

feel we talked briefly, you know, and I could feel the shift happening. And

I immediately went into a state of study. You know, I could feel that I was

going to be called on in a way that was different than anything that had ever

happened in my career and in my life. And I just wanted to be prepared

to meet the seismic shift of the times. So, you know, I've been in the lab. So I'm

looking forward to talking. Well, awesome. I first wanted to say thank you for

agreeing to sit down with me. And just as my friend and as someone who I deeply,

deeply respect, what the viewing audience doesn't know is you have counseled me

through breakups and TV show ideas. And what I need to do with my life, I know how much

your wisdom has meant to me. I really want you guys to the viewing audience to hear from you.

I think in a time like this, because it offers us such a unique opportunity to do different.

You know, and so just to really start there, how do you see this moment right now? And how

are you balancing your emotional and your mental well-being in a time that's like, okay,

first it was coronavirus. Now we on a whole different, you know, type of change. How are you

managing that? That feels like that could be, you know, like a midlife identity crisis.

We are in a circumstance that we've never been before. The entire globe has stood up and said

to the African-American people, we see you and we hear you. How can we help?
