0:00.0	Hi, I'm Ellen Pompeo and this is Tell Me.
0:08.8	Welcome to Tell Me. Here it is the first episode. I'm so excited that my first episode is Yara
0:16.7	Shahidi. I've known Yara for a while now and most of you know Yara from being an award-winning actress,
0:23.2	a producer, breakout star of ABC's Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series Blackish. She's now
0:29.0	the executive producer and lead of the spin-off series on a free form called Grownish. She's also
0:34.0	founded something called We Vote Next, which she's very passionate about. Yara is an incredible
0:39.5	human being and she is just so impressive and thoughtful about the thing she chooses to speak

1:42.2	your music. I have to ask you have you listened to Donda or have you watched it? I have not watched it.
1:46.7	I've kind of done a puzzle. So this was the way I chose to listen. It was going to my friends
1:52.5	who have features and listening to that first. I'll listen to a handful of songs, but I haven't

2:05.2	more than I would my love. Don't ask me for proper grammatical. Yeah, I guess Dove. Dove is right.
