It’s been years since I updated the blog, but the support never stopped. I can say I’m suffering from the COVID blues, but the blues were already there. Recently I started back writing, having creative ideas and its made me hopeful, and this is why.
A while back on the Wine and Weed podcast💚, I remember Mike and Sterling talking about applying to work at a fast-food restaurant, but were rejected and labeled “over qualified”. I remember being so surprised by that, but also inspired at the time. Today I see them as men who started as young actors and grown to be distinguished business men.
Scrolling through Instagram the other night, a fan page uploaded a clip from Mike’s interview with Complex during the Black Panther promo run and it made me cry. I’m not joking either, I kept watching this 30 second clip over and over. I wished I seen this interview when it first premiered, but better late than never.
The Complex interview mention the fast-food incident, which I explained earlier, but I didn’t know the context. In the interview he explains about the experience in detail, and I caught off guard learning it was after filming Red Tales; My blog was created around that time as well. I don’t know if he was ever aware of this page or any fandoms during that time, which cause me to cry. If he had any doubts during that time, in my eyes, he was already accomplished and deserving of future roles.
I’m so proud of both Mike and Sterling(congratulations on the 100th episode🍷and💨!) glad y’all kept going and growing. Personally, I’ve been at a stall and receiving those rejection letters has become too familiar, to the point that I don't even look for a call back anymore. I'm learning patience and my time to blossom will soon come.
