"DADDY." I shout as I run at my dad and look at him.

"Uh oh." My Dad says as I run up to him then I jump on him.
"Hi." I say with a smile.
"Really?" My dad says.
"Mhmm." I say with a smile then my Dad looks at Luna.
"Luna your Mommy's a poohead." My Dad says.
"Meanie." I say as my dad sets me down.
My dad chuckles then the three of us walk to the massive studio we're filming in today.
Today my Dad, myself, and 8 other actors are filming a Black Actors Roundtable for The Hollywood Reporter.
"Dad can I ask you a rather personal question about you and Mom when she was pregnant?" I question.
"Of course." My Dad says so we stop walking so nobody hears our conversation.
"After mom gave birth did you drink her breast milk?" I question. "Like straight from the source."
"I did." My Dad says.
"So it's normal to want to do that?" I ask.
"Absolultey." My Dad says. "You should probably talk to Kara about this though."
"I will." I say then my Dad and I keep walking into the studio.
Once in the studio my dad and I get mic'd up while I look at the list of people here

"Is Bibi related to Mrs. Angela?" I ask.
Bibi is what I call my grandma.
"No." My Dad says. "But they do look a like."
"Very a like." I say.
"All good." The person putting mic's on us says so my Dad, Luna, and I head to the table we're sitting at to film then we sit down.
I'm sat next to my Dad then on the other side of me is a gap so that the cameras can have a view of the actors on the other side of the round table.
Luna's laying on the floor in-between my Dad and I.
"Did you see the new picture I found of Tiger?" I question.
"I didn't." My dad says so I take out my phone and show my dad the picture of my identical twin that I found while clearing out a room in my house.

The only difference between my twin and I is that I have a dick, my hair is always in it's naturally curly state, and I have more tattoos.
"Can you send that to your Mom and me." My dad asks as he looks at the picture.
"Mhmm." I say then I send the picture to my parents.
"Everyone ready?" Someone says so I put my phone up.
Once everyone's ready the moderator lady intros the video then she introduces all the people at the table.
"So why don't we get started with why you all wanted to start acting." The host lady says then I wait around until it's my turn.
"Well my twin Tiger and I spent pretty much everyday on set with our parents and I think what led us to want to act was the fact we thought our parents got to play dress up for a living and we wanted to do that." I say.
"How'd you know you wanted to Act and play basketball?" The moderator lady asks.
"I met Chadwick Boseman." I say.
"I heard a rumor that you took the NBA finals trophy to Chadwick's grave." Angela Bassett says.
"I did." I say causing Angela, My dad, and Michael B. Jordan to smile. "Chadwick always talked basketball with me ever since we met and he was the first non-family member who I felt truly believed I could make it in the pros so I felt it was only right that I show the trophy to him."
"This is off topic, but I've always wanted to ask this." My dad says. "What was your reaction when you found out your mom and I were arrested?"
"I was pissed." I say. "I wanted to kill Tiger's rapists too, but you two found them first."
"Thought so." My dad says.
"Can't say I blame you." Ice Cube says.
I nod then we talk about some more acting stuff like our process for choosing what movie we decide to be in, how we get into character, and some other stuff.
"What's been the hardest scene you've ever had to film?" The moderator asks.
"Well that's easy." I say.
"What is it?" My Dad asks.
"The opening scene of Jump when I did the heart cry song while holding Bibi." I say. "I sang in xhosa for four hours straight."
"You did?"
My dad was still under house arrest so he and my mom couldn't be on set of my movie
"It was the first time I could actually just sit down and get all my emotions out and actually grieve for Tiger and Leo." I say. "So yeah that was a long four hours."
"Did you learn Xhosa for the movie?" Michael asks.
"I learned Xhosa and Swahili for the movie." I say.
"How did Tiger learn about the story for Jump?" Denzel asks.
"She interviewed Mashika for a class in high school and learned about the story then." I say. "Then after the interview Tiger and Mashika talked throughout Tiger's writing process so that the story is 100 percent accurate."
"She's a very good writer."
"That she was." I say.
"Do you have all of her scripts she wrote?" My dad asks.
"I have 11 of them." I say.
"Then your mom and I have the other four." My dad says.
"How many of those are you going make?" Octavia asks.
"I wanna film a movie every summer so hopefully all 15." I say.
"Well if you have a summer like the one we just went through I don't know how you're gonna be able to do that for a long time." Michael says.
