Transcript

00:00Now, let's jump into this fabulous movie, Wicked.

00:05Wow.

00:06Thank you so much for your amazing performance.

00:10As you know, the film is brimming with essential themes of sisterhood.

00:16And real sisterhood is standing by your sister side by side during challenging moments,

00:23accepting for her for who she is, and atoning for your mistakes like many of our sores do for each other.

00:30Can you recall a time when you experienced true sisterhood within AKA?

00:36Within AKA, I feel like the thing that I just described feels like true sisterhood.

00:45You show up, you haven't seen someone for a really long time, but somehow they always manage to be there.

00:50Right.

00:51And it's that, you know?

00:53I think that...

00:56I saw Sunny just outside.

00:59Sunny, are you here?

01:00Sunny's right here.

01:02And before, we went to take a picture together, and I was like, okay, we're going to take the picture, let's go.

01:07And she grabbed me by my shoulders and was like, how are you?

01:11Are you okay?

01:12Right.

01:14It's moments like that where you get to zero in with a person, and they stop you and see you.

01:22They go, I've got you, wait a minute.

01:24Are you actually okay?

01:25How are you?

01:27That's, for me, what sisterhood is.

01:30That's for checking for each other.

01:32Like actually looking at someone's eyes and going, I want to make sure you're okay.

01:37Yeah, exactly.

01:38Before we speed past, you know?

01:41Thank you, by the way.

01:42I didn't get to say thank you for that.

01:44Thank you so much.

01:45Yeah.
