So if you describe yourself in one word, which word would you chose.
Ummm I think I'd chose Magical.
Why?
I just think I can poof into everything. Like oh lemme turn into a lion Raaaaaahhhh! Then I turn into one
*interviewer laughs in the background*
So the first thing you chose is a lion?
I laughed watching the video while playing with my hair.
Question is why not a lion? Is a mermaid better for you? Want me to be like Arielle the Mermaid. Under the sea with a crab?
I chuckled as she smiled looking at the interviewer.
I didn't say all that, but that's another question I have for you. How did your mom Keyanna chose the name Arielle?
That's funny my mom didn't pick my name. She actually made my uncle, Mel, who unfortunately passed away a few months after I was born.
She sent a soft smile towards the camera
Ahhh the interviewer said
Yes. So my mom was gonna name me Troy. Such a boy name, but yes she was going to name me Troy cause that's what her favorite stuffed animal at the time was called.
I laughed putting the volume to my laptop up.
So that's one thing we know Keyanna, the Keyanna played stuffed animals still as teen
I was just kidding Dylan.
About your mom naming you Troy or the stuffed animal?
The stuffed animal Kim giggled, my mama was gonna name me Troy after the character from the Crooklyn movie Troy Carmichael played by Zelda Harrison. Great movie have you seen it?
She asked looking at him
No, but I will put it on my To Watch List he joked
We should watch it together. You can come over my place Friday and we can call it a chill day
He laughed but she smiled
Why are you laughing I seriously think we should hang out.
I'm a 47 year old man. What is interesting about me that makes you want to hang out with this old dude?
I think your cool. Age ain't nothing but a number Dylan. Plus I'm trying to make new friends. California gets boring sometimes.
Back to the name Troy. Why did it change?
We're hanging Dylan. Where was I? Oh yea my uncle was telling my mom how Troy was too manly and how I'd probably get teased so he told her Arielle. One reason was because my mom at the time wasn't close with my dad, August. But because his name started with an A, he wanted him to at least feel apart of something that has to do with me.
