This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. I survived nine months in captivity, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable, abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.

These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files, with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility.

And this was also when I realized my dad was famous because I was like, we're in Morocco. Who knows you in Morocco? Daddy is a big day.

Yeah, I was like, so what? And this group of women followed him into the bathroom. No, they did not. I promise. Ooh. This is born to the game where legacy speak in every... Born to the game produced by Arkham Media Group in collaboration with inflection network and distributed through IHeartMedia.

This is a space where the children and families of iconic athletes, entertainers, and cultural figures share the truth behind legacy. Not just what their families did, but who they are and how that legacy continues. Today's guest grew up in a world where laughter... laughter was second nature, but confidence. That was something she chose to build for herself. She is the founder of Pretty Lucky Lips, a beauty brand rooted in self-expression, boldness, and owning your own voice. She's creative, stylish, thoughtful, and proof that legacy doesn't have to be followed. It can be redefined. She is the daughter of legendary comedian,

Cedric the Entertainer. But today, you're going to meet Luffy. We're lucky. Please welcome to Born to the Game. Lucky Rose Kyle. So we do this thing where we're like, Hey, girl. How are you? What an intro.

It's the heels. It's just I have on, I decided upon on the six inch, you know.

On top of her six one. Right. I wish. I wish. I love it. But you make up in other areas. Yeah, I'm a good five, too. And that's okay.

And that's okay. That is okay. So we have you here because we just would love to hear your story and just your perspective of being born into a life where, again, your father is such a legend. in his respective industry. Oh, my gosh. And I know there's so many viewers who, again, it's easy for people to know your dad.

Google him. We see him all the time, but we don't really get to see a product of him, his daughter, you know? And so we want to get to know you and talk about what you're doing and where you're going and who you are becoming. Is that okay?

Yes. Is that okay for us? It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. We're going to Kiki. We're going to have a good time. So first question is just what was it like growing up with the Cedric, the entertainer, as your dad? Like, who is he?

The Cedric. Yeah. Yeah, the Cedric. Well, you know what's so funny is that I actually don't think I realized my dad's stardom until like way later in life. Like it was not something that like, and I don't understand how I didn't like. Pick up on it. Yeah, I have no clue how I didn't pick up on that. maybe until

I think it was around the time he got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And that would do it. Yeah, and I said, you said that'll do it. What age were you? I think I had to been like 13 maybe. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I think I was probably like eighth grade-ish.

Or I think, you know, at the time like Netflix had just started to do comedy specials. like that was starting to happen and he was like, and I was like, wait, dad has a comedy special? You're like, what you've been doing? I know, I was like, wait, dad, this comic thing is working out for you. Like, you're, working out for you.

Yeah, I was like, she says that as if like, like, girl, you know, he's been making us laugh. Never. Had no idea. Oh my goodness. It didn't like register to me. Like, and you know, I think sometimes too, I kind of felt like, I knew that like he was in like

the comedy world and like we would go to like premieres and things, but I always kind of felt like he was like black famous. Like, as you know, there's a difference. What you mean black famous? So like, but can you elaborate? What does black famous mean? I do know what you mean. You understand.

Like, there's certain celebrities and icons that are only exclusive to the black community. Yeah. Oh, so you didn't realize it was a global. No, I had no clue that he had reached like outside of like people of our demographic. Yeah. Like. But even when he's in your life.

you're thinking he's a girl of the black celebrity right what how did that make you feel just even knowing I know it sounds it sounds crazy but you still know that he's a celebrity of some sort right yeah how so how does that make you feel like but it's it's normal I guess to you still right it was always very normal and I don't think I think my parents did such a good job at keeping because I'm the baby there's three of us um and I think that they did a really good job at keeping us all super humble. Okay. And we didn't make our dad, like, an appendage to our personality and, like, his stardom and,

you know, clothes and vacations and cars and this. Like, I don't think we understood truly the monetary value of it all. I think my mom was just really focused on us being kids. And so along with that, she really didn't want us in the, limelight too much like yeah she really didn't want us to be you know the celebrity the celebrity kid yeah yeah she tried to really keep us away from that um of course like we would go to like I have like my oldest memories are like sitting in backstage of like comedy shows and that was gonna ask you yeah and like you know just running around backstage and doing things like that

but I was always with my mom okay always always always always always okay and so it just kind of felt like how you go to the playground. Like it was just a part of my... Your everyday routine. Yeah, it was like on the weekend, we'll be at the forum. Like, I don't know. Like, and to me, it wasn't the forum because I'm five. It was like, you know, just

some place where dad's working. It hadn't computed like that yet. And I was just going to play with blocks and... Yeah. That was... It hadn't really gone there yet. But when I realized I had watched... Well, I had watched like some of his movies. I had watched Johnson Family Vacation. That was the only one I was allowed to watch.

We love that movie. Why is it so good? We love that movie. It's so good. No, it actually is. I and I are, we're movie dorks. Yes. That is one of them. That is, we will turn that on just because it's a Tuesday. Yes. It's so classic. Yes. I have nothing else to do, but I want a classic to and we'll turn it on. It's so fantastic. I mean, first of all, bow wow. It's like, okay. Why is like? Who didn't have a crush on bow wow? We all did, though. We all did. We all did.

He's adorable. Bow Wow Salon. Yes. In the movie. Like, the community. Our community. It was just absolutely amazing. Yeah.

Young Jason Momoa. Okay. Like, wow. Yes. Yeah. It's an amazing, an amazing, amazing, amazing film.

And so that was the only one I could watch because it was like his most like childish film. And what year did that? Because I want to link the age because we're about a decade. We're not going to reveal our age. Exactly. But we're at least a decade. second older than you and that movie came out when we were 2005 I think was it okay so

you saw for the first time okay I was born in 2003 right so it came out when you were a baby so you saw it she is a baby a beautiful baby so you saw it at what age for the first time like um like maybe too young like maybe like six or seven okay okay it was it was it was absolutely the first movie that I saw of his for the first time and then what did you feel when you saw him on on screen yeah I think I just felt I think it was exciting yeah yeah it was absolutely exciting I was accustomed to seeing him live perform but like seeing him on film was so cool yeah and like you know seeing him really like act yeah I thought that was interesting yeah but then like it also like I remember because you know he has a whole different family like in the

in the movie in the movie yeah and so it's so funny to see him like play dad on screen because he's my dad right so it's just like I don't know it's kind of silly because like you would never say that or like you would never do that any similarities that you would see on camera and you're looking in real life like you don't do this like no but you know what actually now that I think about it so in the in Johnson family vacation he's kind of like type A about them traveling yes and my dad is absolutely like that. We call him Travel Man. Like he has to be like on time and he has an itinerary.

He's actually ridiculous. That's hilarious. And we all know we're like, uh-oh, travel man's coming out because he like needs everything it has to be on time. Like the I-10 by 10, like that's so him. Like that's so him. His favorite thing is- We say that still.

I-10 by 10. I know. He'll say church on the move. And that means like, okay, we have to all start walking now. Like it's time to go. He needs like all of his things. carried like he needs like he he he just needs all the things he has to be in some type of like lounge he he's like it's a whole situation and he's like any

complications that's hilarious it's like a wood it does it does it sounds just like my father but I was gonna ask you do you think that is something viewers would be surprised to know about your dad that he is very structured and you know I 10 by 10 so funny yeah like I would never think yeah I mean he's pretty chill like most of the time it's just when he's traveling but typically it's because he has like somewhere to be like yes but i think because we i mean i'm like the most tight-bee person ever like i'm super organized but i'm like well i don't know like let's just figure out like i like the wind blows me that's where i'm going to be exactly and i think me and my aunt are the only people that are like

that but we're also the most adventurous okay so we travel alone a lot and like we actually just took a trip to Asia where we just, we didn't have any, like, places to stay. We didn't have any visas. We were like, let's just go. Good for y'all. Let's just go. I like that. Yeah, no, we're actually a little bit.

That's, okay. There's no visa. We're actually super rich. And we just show up with no, with no itinerary. No hotel would freak me out, though. No, I was like, okay, girl, we have to figure out what we're going to say. Yeah, the hotel was. But we did, it's like the type of thing.

It's like, we'll find it when we get there. Yeah. Like, we're just so, we're so spontaneous. Yeah. So I think, but my dad can. can't roll like that he needs to know okay what's going on only with the travel okay once he gets where he's going then he's good out in the streets he's just you know outside so was humor part of your home like was he funny at home would he ever run jokes by you at home any joke you're like

you're like 10% okay okay 1,000% any joke that he says and you're like dad no that's a corny dad joke you know what very rarely okay okay but he knows that it's corny okay okay okay But, and I'll just be like, okay, dad. Like, all right. But I always tell everyone, my mom is way funny. Is she? What? She's absolutely ridiculous.

She's hilarious. Oh, I love that. And I think that's why they're so in love is because I think they bonded over humor. Over humor. And so he, like, he'll, like, steal a lot of his jokes from her. She's absolutely ridiculous. Oh, no, Mr. said she needs to be. Right.

Right. Hey. I'm about to say, wait a minute now. Like, I think like, as in just, you know, her little ad libs around the house or like, whatever she does. Yeah. She is clearly.

I'm like, okay. We need the credits. You know, honestly, he steals stuff from everything we say, like all of us. Like, he'll write about me all the time. He used to write jokes about me in high school and things I would say with my friends. And then I remember one time he went on stage

and he said to somebody's name. And I was like, dad, you can't say. their name. Like, because I would go in his office and gossip with him. Yeah. That's our favorite thing to do. Yeah. I like go and we'll like gossip about like what's happening at my school or here,

here, my roommates, whatever. And then he'll go on stage and say verbatim when I said, I was like, dad, you cannot. Oh my God. I would be mortified. He'll be like, yeah. Lucky's friend at his. No, I don't know. She, dad, you cannot say that.

So does he run his, like his jokes past you when they're about you before he does Never. Oh my God. He said, I'm going to do what I want to do. Never. Y'all just going to have to laugh when I say it. Yeah, no. He never does.

But after that, then he doesn't do that anymore. But actually on his Netflix special, and I was so mad at him because I was ridiculed for months, he has a joke where I asked him if animals commit suicide. And I did not ask him that. And I'm actually glad I can set the record straight. He said that you said, you asked him that? He was like, oh, I have this daughter.

She's really smart and really, like, weirdly curious. And she asked me if animals. commit suicide. Of course he like says it in some like, you know, hilarious way. And it like goes into all this other stuff. But I remember going to school and I think I was like in the eighth grade like going to school afterwards and my teachers being like, look, you think animals commit suicide. And I was like, I did not say that. Look at that camera right there. Right. I never said that. I actually think my brother asked him that and then he just used my name. Not collateral being collateral damage. Right. He already.

He had a joke about my brother. So he was like, oh, I have to throw Lucky in there. I did not say that. I'm glad I can set the record straight. I did not ask if animals can commit suicide. It was her brother. I will say it's an interest, I mean. I mean, it's, it's makes you.

It's thought provoking. I will say that. But girl, you clear the air. Right here. I'm born to the game. I'm kind of less right. Clearing the air. Thank you.

Period. Period. Hey, I'm Ruby Carr, the host of the podcast, Encore. Check out our brand new episodes, featuring music from the show that everyone is reheating as we speak. Heated rivalry. Join me as I go behind the songs that brought Shane and Elia together. I'll tell you the stories of Fice, My Moon, My Man, Wolf forades, I'll believe in anything,

and tattoos all the things she said, and how they all became a part of this global phenomenon. Stream encore on IHeart Radio, Crave, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone, as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here.

It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes, Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz,

and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time, and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right? How about we flip this around? What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird.

Adam Scott, this entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect. I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity. Exuding.

I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times, out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, they're like, oh, what's just a state. Everyone's so dumb.

And fake. Right, fake and also not interested. or just like, oh, I've got my life, I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hoda Kotvey, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby.

If you know me, you know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize. maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring actors and really anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. You have something in your guts. You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one. He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart

Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It seems like you have... Funny joke though. But it seems like you inherited a little bit of his personality. Like, you're bubbly. You know, you have joy. Like, you have great energy. Is there anything else you think you inherited from your dad? I am ridiculously funny. I will say that. I will agree. I am super funny.

I do think, and he knows I'm really funny too. But I think we both have an ability to just like yap. Like we're big chatters and my dad's super, super charming. And I think I definitely got that from him. He's really outgoing, like, kind of like talk to anybody kind of guy. My mom is really, really shy. She's, you know, insane. My mom loves your mom, by the way.

I know. I was going to say our moms love each other. Yeah. She also has that ability to talk to anyone, but she is quite, like, timid and shy. And she is such a behind the scenes person. She would never be able to be on camera. Kind of like how I am a little bit, too. We would never know.

Are you exactly? I'm able to morph a little bit. But people always ask me, they're like, oh, are you an actress? Or do you model? Are you in entertainment at all? And I'm like, no. Never had the aspirations? No, that is not.

That's just simply not for me. I really shouldn't. You're comfortable with being behind the camera. I just, thank you. I always tell people I should never be in front of it. Well, we can't say shouldn't. Yes. Because you look amazing.

You look amazing. But if it's not your thing, if it's not where you want to be, and you know. That's much more my brother. Okay. He's like so he should be an actor. He's like extremely talented. But that's just not.

It just was never my calling. So what's you have how many siblings? I have an older sister. Okay. How old is she? She's about 30. I can never tell. I'm like, is she 35?

I think she's 35. And once you get past 30 at all, it's all the same. I was like she'll kill me if I say that she's older. She's the oldest. She's the oldest. This, my brother is 25, question. Okay. I'm like, why don't I know my siblings ages?

I mean, because it's a blur. Yeah. Yeah, I barely know mine. He's three years older than me and I'm 22. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. How is dad with dating?

Is he... You know what? Oh, no. Oh, actually, he's really good. Okay. Yeah, he's not like... No, he's the best. He's like the sweetest man.

He really is. He's such, like, a little teddy hair. I was about to say he really is, like, every time I see Cedric, I'm like, He's like the most gentle, like, coolest guy. I'm obsessed with him. But he has always been really cool with dating. I think he's, I also claim that I have a really great picker. Like, I've never had any bad boyfriends.

Very good. Good for you. No, I do a pretty good job. That means you're just a good judgment of character. Yeah. Yes. I have a lot of discernment. Very good.

Oh, good. Do you learn, did you learn that from your parents, you think? Definitely. Okay. Yeah, definitely from my parents. I also, my mom's my best friend. her everything okay and so I mean we like judge together like if someone's yeah I love it I love it though you need it yeah you need your bill it right you know but I also just kind of feel it I'm like

I don't think so yeah you ever go to dad for advice always good literally always I call him all the time for relationship advice I call him all the time for everything we have a daddy's girl another no real bad we attract daddy's girls real bad real bad real bad I love it. And he's like, they have a running joke. Like my family, if my dad's not picking up the phone, they'll be like, look, can you call him? Because he'll always, always, always pick up the phone. And like, I called him the other day because I was like, I need to change my oil and I have no clue.

Like, just girl problems. I'm like, I don't know what I'm like, dad, what do I do? And I called him and he was on set taping. And I was like, or like sometimes he'll be in a table reading and I'll be like, okay, dad, go to work. Yeah. But like, what do I do? Like, do I go to Costco? Like, you know, just I'm ridiculous.

And that will never change. Yeah. 10 years from now, 20 years from now, it will never change. Yeah. You will always be his baby girl. I know. Always. I love that for you.

Yeah. Yes. That's for me. Yes. But he's pretty chill with dating. He, like, will always give, like, you know, a good stern talk. Yeah. But he's pretty chill.

I love that. I think he, like, trust my, my, like, decision. Yeah. Yeah. My decisions. And he's just like, she'll be fine. Well, discernment is a big word. It is.

It is. Discernment. Yeah. And it only gets, I'll say, I don't want to say worse, but it only gets stronger as you get older. It does. Discernment. And then you're like, dang, I hate that I know this, but I know this. So, eh.

Exactly. Desermint is like, it's a gift, actually. Especially at Korea, a spiritual gift. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I consider myself to be quite intuitive. Yeah. Which is great. I mean, I definitely have made, like, a handful, like, not even a handful, a bunch of mistakes. Which is. you that will continue to like i'm i'm i'm 22 yeah yeah exactly exactly and i'm like i i was i you know never know what i'm doing but i feel like my parents are so amazing because they've given me the space to like make my own mistakes and mess up and then always like help me pull me back up like

make me feel you know better but my dad is really great with dating advice he really helps me What's the best advice he's just giving you just about life that you... And business. Yeah, that you carry. I think, I mean, he, I go to him for a lot of business advice. Okay. Because, I mean, that man does not quit. Like, I, he has so many different businesses and, like, streams of income.

And I just, it's so mind-boggling to me. He's definitely, like, one of the hardest working people I know. He's always, always, always working. And I think that's another thing I got. for him like that industrious kind of mindset like he's always thinking about the next thing he's always thinking about like a way to um tweak this or tweak that or like oh a avenue into a certain industry or like he's just his mind is always kind of and that has influenced you and how you view success and discipline and work ethic one thousand percent my mom is the same way she's like a very like

turned nothing into something type of person and she has like really amazing ideas is like where I'm like I don't even know how you thought about like that like they're just really creative people um but I think he has taught me the most just to create things and create as it relates to my business that feels like me so stay true to yourself yeah yeah 1000% I think in my early stages of um you know creating business it creating a business and just you know, thinking about what I wanted to look like, what I wanted to be. Yeah. I was trying, I was focusing so hard on other existing companies.

Okay. And seeing if I could mirror that or like mirroring what someone else liked or like what someone else, you know, what I thought they wanted. And so, I mean, that never works. It doesn't. And he just lets me know that like I'm a person who, you know, has like, you know, energy that people are attracted to. And you're enough. Yeah, exactly.

And your idea is enough. Exactly, exactly. And it can just be, like, rooted in me, and it can just feel like lucky. Yes. And then people will want to gravitate towards that. I love that. And we're going to get into your business. Absolutely. We, you know, we'll dive into just more about pressure and expectations and just, you know, that. And it naturally comes in this lifestyle, right? So we'll dive into that.

But first, we're going to get to know who you all. are yes or who you were I should say as a kid yeah so first I want to ask you what what three words would you use to describe yourself as a child or now no let's start with this now and then we'll go backwards okay yeah I'll say I sound so narcissistic no do it that's why we're here okay so it's about you I'll say intelligent um charismatic would be the word I would use and I think maybe like genuine. Okay. Yeah.

I love those. I'll say genuine. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's me. Intelligent? Intelligent. I think I'm pretty smart.

No, you're very, you're very smart. Yeah. Intelligent, charismatic, and genuine. Genuine, yes. So then when we talk about lucky as a kid, do you see yourself as you did, like, as you do now, then can you can you see yourself that you were always who are you going to become in some aspects i was definitely um i was a really shy kid um i think that well so for a little history my brother and i's first language is both french wow so we went to a french immersion school um in l a in l a okay

that's where you're born and raised right yes we are l a down okay um and uh we went to a French immersion school, it's called Lila, you say, from K through second. My brother went a little longer. And so I think because we went to that school, which was honestly the smartest thing, I always say the best gift my mom gave me was another language. Because we're both still fluent. And it's honestly the best, best gift because she gave us, you know, the world in that way. I didn't realize. And I was so angry that we had to like speak French. I was like, this is. Now you appreciate it. Oh my God, I appreciate it so much.

And I was also mad because I'm like, girl, we live in California. Yeah, we're gonna. Right, yeah. And she was like, I just want you guys to be different. Yeah, smart move. I just wanted something. And it's still to this day when I say I speak French,

everyone's like, ooh, really. They think it's so amazing. Give us a little French. Oh, I hate what people. Well, on the spot. Me, I just, I would love to just practice a little. Salue, je ma'uette leki. I live in Los Angeles, and I'm very joyous to be here.

Okay, I know a little bit of French. I think I can hear you said my name is Lucky. I'm from Los Angeles. And what's, say the last thing again? I just said, no, in French. Joyo, et cetera. What is it? I'm happy to be here.

Yes. Wait, you understand French? Yeah. I didn't know that about you. I spoke French for a long time. You ate that. I just can't speak it anymore, but I can understand. because I took French for a long time too.

I used to know how to speak it, but when you don't use it, you lose it. You absolutely ate that. That was amazing. Thank you. Wait, that was really impressive. I didn't know that. It sounds beautiful. It's a gorgeous language.

Have you ever been to France? Have you been there? Yes, many times. Oh my gosh. I know they love you down. I know they do. And I love it. When you can speak, when you can speak, when first people know, you can speak French,

they love you. They love you. They love you. Yeah. I know they love you. Yeah. I know they love you. Yeah.

I actually, I love it. I feel like it's kind of like a second home because we also went to French school in France. Oh, for how long? Yes. Oh, I love that opportunity. My mom would send us there every summer. Wow. So she wasn't playing. So how many years did you go? Every year. Until when? Until I was 18. Wow. She was not playing at all. She was like. It was like othering, but so fun. So I mean, well, we were. We were not playing at all. She was like, yeah. It was like othering, but so fun. So I mean, well, we, we were. We went to the French preschool. Yeah. And I was, Croix and I both were the only black kids as well as the only American kids. Wow.

So most people, when they send their kids to an immersion school, they're usually Francophonean, which means, like, their parents are from some type of, like, French, like Canada or the Caribbean or, you know, some places in Africa or whatever. Okay.

Most of those kids' parents were French, but ours, like my mom's from, like, my mom's from Englewood. So it's like, she doesn't like yeah and um I think we just kind of felt a little othered I definitely was othered and so I didn't make any friends okay and that make you feel yeah that's that's big let's dive into that not being able to make friends like that's hard I was also so shy and so I just didn't I just didn't really I just didn't have any friends I don't

know if I necessarily if it if it necessarily clicked to me like that I was like I was very shy in public but I was also a really sprightly kid when I was at home and I'm always I'm always really happy yeah like so I don't it wasn't anything that I really got down on myself for my mom is such a writer and so she would come to she would come eat lunch with me every day like every single day and so I think that I think that maybe mind tricked me into not even realizing that I was friendless okay and then we had switched over to American school okay and so I felt a lot more at home at home there and um yeah like just kind of like blended right in i was i had started to like you know become like a little bit more you know whatever but i was always really

a really curious child okay um i was always really artistic i was really into drawing really into painting um i was always i used to sculpt a lot wow i still do i love sculpting do you have some just in your home where you live just some of the the designs that you made yeah I make little things I used to make a lot of humans and I don't know why anyone didn't think it was weird because I would make like naked I would make like that was weird I would because I mean there'd be like body parts and like eyeballs and I'm not quite sure it looked a little like strange and like if you saw it all laid out and I'm like I don't know I'm like seven so I don't know why anyone was like why is she like doing that?

Or like I used to draw as a young person I used to draw like naked people and no one thought to raise an eyebrow like so interesting though because that's such a young age like where that infatuation came from? It turned out different.

But that's so cool just to know about you because no one would ever think that you know like that's so cool. No one raised an eyebrow. Everyone was like oh good job looking. Yeah you're being a creative self. Yeah I love it. I don't know but

yeah always very creative um i then got into dance i was a competitive dancer like my whole life um i was always like singing um and my mom was like we need to get this baby some singing classes like she was like i just i i i always like there was always some type of form of art going on okay um but i think i really found like my home and dancing and then dancing became like my life for like a couple of years. I was absolutely obsessed with it. But the French schools, like I was saying, she would send us there every summer or one summer we went to Canada. We went to Montreal. It just had to be a French speaking place. And then she also always kept French inside the house. So she would have someone come talk to us

all day, every day. So she basically made it so we only talked to our parents in English. Mama wasn't playing. She was really not playing about English. But you have to do that because if you don't, you will lose it. You will lose it. You'll lose it. That's why I've lost, I can't speak anymore because I got out of practice of speaking. She was super serious. Yeah, you have to, you have to do that.

You have to be immersed in the language to speak it like that, like how she's speaking. But now that, do you practice the same way or now that it's pretty like engraved in? I don't practice the same way. I think once I got to college, I just, because I'm my brother and I don't live in the same house anymore, so we didn't even speak to each other anymore. Occasionally I would get on the phone with my French friends. and, you know, have a conversation. But it's one of those things now where it's like every time I go there

and I'm there for a couple of days, it just kind of snaps back. Yeah, it's not really something I think about on the regular. Yeah. But I was always so upset that we would have to, because, I mean, also in California, the other language that you learn in school is usually Spanish. Yeah. And so I remember, like, we had to do like Spanish and Latin classes. and my mom told the school they're like,

they're not doing that. She was like, they're going to do French. And the school was like, oh, we don't offer French. And she was like, no, my kids are going to be doing French. So any time the whole class would go in to take like their Spanish class, we would go do. No, we would go do French. She would have someone come there.

And she was super not playing. Wow. I see. Stuff like this is so intriguing to hear because that is. That's so interesting. So what did that teach you? Just going through. like learning French class which is not something I mean we learn we have French class in

school but you were completely immersed in it so that experience and then the the lack of friendships what did that teach you about yourself I think I mean honestly I feel like something my parents both instilled both like into all of their children was just that it's not that it's just okay to be different but that we were different like then that we were because my my mom made it so that we were unique children yeah and so where that was something that you kind of feel like and I would kind of get timid about telling people I spoke French or I'd get timid about telling people about you know certain accomplishments or this or that my mom was just like no it's something for you to be proud of

Yeah, don't run from it. Yeah, it's absolutely something for you to be proud of. Like, even when I, even in the French school, being American, my mom, it was never a thing of like, well, I'm without something. It was just kind of like, I am just too, it was always positioned in a way where it was like, I have something that someone else isn't understanding and that's okay. you know and like it never it never made me feel super othered in that way because I was just like oh it's just not for them to understand and it's not for me to try and get them to understand you know type of thing yeah and so it wasn't really something I I thought about too much but I think I've carried that along with me is like I'm just I'm in the package that I'm in and it's not for me to like I love it make someone else yeah and that's beautiful that you know that at such a young age yeah That's beautiful. So when does Lucky feel the most free? That's such a good question.

Oh, my God. On the dance floor? I don't know. I think what do I feel the most free? I mean, I think I try to wake up and do my best and feel my best every day. Good for you. And some type of little moment. And like sometimes it's not like it may it might be like in the car or, you know,

in between walking to classes if I have like that one certain song on and like I just, you know, the energy felt right or, you know, I meditate a lot. Sometimes it's when I'm meditating. But I do try and chase that freedom every day, I think. Yeah. Good for you. So it's not super designated to one one place. but yeah I'll say that I love that again so much wisdom it's so much you are just very wise

I mean at 22 I was not I didn't have that same mindset so it's beautiful to know yeah so tell us about some of the challenges that you faced you know in your younger years um growing up in the sedentered entertainers household yes right your mom I mean I can tell we can hear how your mom was rearing both of your siblings and yourself but like what is it like what were some of the challenges that you did you face that you can i think you know what i feel like well there's definitely there's definitely the whole um you know race bit of it i mean we lived in the valley and so because that we went to a lot of predominantly white schools and that's always its own thing like being in um you know just spaces where you don't necessarily feel like you fit in not just that you

fit in but honestly like that you're kind of like tokenized that you're seeing oh that you're seen too much okay yeah honestly like you're just kind of like you know I remember like people like playing with your hair oh I know no it's so bad and then feeling like feeling self-conscious about my hair. They're feeling self-conscious about your hair? Or I was feeling self-conscious. Oh, you were feeling air. Okay, gotcha.

Yeah. Or just real, you know, just clocking out. Just because it's different than everybody else. Yeah. Yeah. Or just, you know, things like that. I mean, I matured a lot. Okay.

Younger than most people. And then I would kind of feel like. My hips are a little bigger than everybody else's. I had that too. I did too. Yeah. Yeah. I did too.

Just like everything. I was like, okay. And like, you know, I, like, we were growing up in that like that age of like the Kim Kay's and like the Mickey Menages. So it's like when I got a butt like everyone, it was everyone's like business that I got a bunch. It was like, you know, and then I felt I was like, oh oh, like that's a little weird.

That's so interesting because it's polar opposite for us because I mean, I grew up in Katie Texas, right, where everyone was this big, very narrow. So if you had hips in a butt, it's like, it was weird. So I went to a predominantly white school. Yeah. In fifth grade, I got my, I just, your hip skin. I was a rail and then over the summer, my hips and butts, and I got stretch marks.

Yeah. And I remember I was like in the locker room or in the like swim parties. Everybody was like looking at me because everybody else was still, you know, they were white girls, so they were still really skinny. And I had developed and they were looking at me like. Yeah, see. And I felt I felt so horrible about myself because I was like, why? Like, why do I have a butt now?

I have stretch marks. I'm like, I'm not grown, but like it just happened overnight. And I remember feeling like that. I remember feeling so horrible. Yeah, and you just feel so undisplayed. Yeah. Because, and again, there wasn't very many other black girls there. So it was no one else that could share the, you know what I mean?

So it was just like, oh my God. Yeah. Yeah, it's a horrible feeling. No, it was a very horrible feeling. And along with that, being a competitive dancer, like, you have to like change all the time in front of people in, in like, you know, random rooms and in cars, like, you know, and my mom's thinking that you're a little girl. Like, she's like, girl just changed. Like, she would tell me all the time, she'd be like, you ain't got nothing. just change.

But you know, you're feeling self-conscious because you're like, no, I have, I have hips now. Yeah. I don't know where those came from. And just, you know, it was just, it was, it was, it was a lot of things like that where I was like, okay, that's weird. Um, I mean, as it related to my dad, I don't think like any challenges really surfaced for me.

I mean, definitely, I think the only thing that I would, when you have a famous parent, you know, some people do treat you differently. They do. It can be a little hard. I definitely notice that more, you know, kind of high school college age. Definitely when I got to college, though, that was like so clearly evident.

I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Piniere. and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.

I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind. or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip,

I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible

to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, a.k.a. The biz. and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right?

How about we flip this script? What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott. This entire time, you're... You've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect. I have.

I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking on the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope.

It's fragile. masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? Like, you're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right. Fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Hoda Kotbby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby. If you know me, you know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring actors and really, anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. You have something in your guts.

You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one. He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My best friend and my roommate, her name is Raquel. Her name is Raquel Justice.

She's David Justice's daughter. Oh, very cool. And so, yeah, you guys are happy. Well, she didn't know us. Come on. She said, she came with me. Yes. She actually, y'all would have loved her.

She's a mess. Yes. And so she, you know, growing up with, and she's an actress. Okay. She just, shout out Raquel, she just did Dexter. Oh, I love that. You go, girl. She just did Dexter. Okay.

She's super talented, and she had a movie come out like two years ago. Period. It was actually a basketball movie. Yes, Raquel Justice. I'm always here representing her. Yes, period. Friends. Friendships. But we definitely had a conversation. So her and I met in high school, and we became best friends.

And then we both took a gap year together. We traveled the world. Oh, good for you. I love you. And then young girls just take on the world. I love it. And then we decided to go to college together and room together. And we had a conversation because I was like, you know, nobody, when we got there,

nobody knew we were coming. And because, you know, when you like go to college, they have like those Instagram pages and you can like meet people. Yeah. Okay. And so I think we just kind of had a conversation of like, so I don't think anyone, no one. knows and we came from I went to Sierra Canyon okay and high school in Shatsworth and for anyone who knows that school that's like the celebrity kid yeah yeah and so being a celebrity kid wasn't a big deal there because like everybody is someone like I I was in class with

like Scotty Pippen's kids and like you know and and and Kevin Hart and you know and just it was not a big deal but now we're transitioning into a school experience where it is a big deal like people have never met a famous person in their life so I we kind of were like you know we wanted to build real connections and it was important to both of us that we didn't just stick together and glom onto one another. We really wanted to make friends with people and so we made it a point not to talk about our our parents when we were you know talking people so if someone would ask me like oh what do your parents do, I'd be like, oh, my mom's a costumer.

Like, I never mentioned my dad. Okay. Or if she, if someone would ask her, she'd be like, oh, my mom designs jewelry, you know, things like that because we just didn't want it to be a topic of the conversation. And then obviously, like, you know, month three people found out because like you exchange Instagrams, like, you know, whatever. It's your dad's birthday. Things happen. And, you know, there are the certain people that like, you know, act like they're a little closer to you than they actually are. Name drop. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. You know, get a little too excited. I would have like people in high school that would like, like, say, like, keep on inviting themselves to my home. And like, inviting themselves to your home. And I have an open house policy. Like, I'm so not that person. Like, anyone can come to my crib. Like, it's really not that. It's not that deep. But it would be like a thing of like, because I didn't invite them, they would tell people that I was having a party and then it'd be like 11 o'clock on a Thursday and there'd be a bunch of people outside

my home and I'd be like what's going on? So this is a boundaries issue. Isn't that kind of crazy? Wait, wait. Wait, hold on. Yeah. So you're saying that other people would invite themselves to her house without you knowing. Yes. Yeah. Just so that they could get to my house and just say that that's, like, what would they would just be like, what's going on? And then I would explain and they'd be like, what and then you know party was over but it seems like there's again people feeling like they just have autonomy they have the right yeah yes enter your space yeah there's no boundaries and so how knowing this and experiencing this how did you combat that because that's something i know i personally have experienced a lot people just feeling like they have the right yeah to be in your

space and you don't have the right to set up boundaries is that something that you still deal with today Is that hard for you to do now? It's definitely easier. In college, again, for sure, because Raquel and I are both, like, you know, super opening people. We were roommates and we were in a dorm. And so we were just kind of, like, leave the door open. Like, everyone can come and hang. Like, I'm not, like, it wasn't a thing of, like, oh, they can't come in my room.

Like, I was like, no, like, everyone can come chill. Like, I'm super, like, talkative. Like, I'm going to talk to anyone. Yeah. And so we would get a little. annoyed because in the moments where like her and I just went into like watch a movie and like just be alone yeah or like if I'm just chilling in my room or whatever and you know people are not going on your door like big like we I don't oh girl this is she's so I won't say that um but um but you know people do feel like at some point our dorm felt like a communal space like it was starting to feel like people thought is it was like the party room. It's like, oh, you're just going to go to Raquel and Lucky's and, you know,

hang out. And it was super fun. Yeah. For that time. But, you know, at other times, it's like, I just need personal space. Right, right. Is it hard for you to say no? At that time, yes. Okay. Because I think I really was eager to make friends. Yeah. And also sometimes when you come from, you know, nice means or you were, you know, a celebrity child or whatever, people kind of think you're prismiccitty or like they'll think niccity which is true and so you want to overcompensate by being super good because it's so easy for people to be like she's she's stuck up yeah she's not nice whatever whatever and so I definitely at that time too when people were finding out that about me also a lot of the girls were not nice to me when I got to college um and I just kind of was like you know I'm like

what kindness type of person. So I was always just, you know, welcoming Linda Hand. Yeah. But again, when you're a celebrity, which I am not, but I notice from my father is that people feel like, it's so interesting that people do this, but they feel like they have like, they feel like they know you. Like, you know, they develop these parisocial relationships with you. They watch you for years.

And so they feel like they know bits about your life. and, you know, they feel like, you know, that they can, you know, shoot the shit with you and, you know, poke fun at you and, you know, do whatever. And it's kind of like, okay, well, you're a stranger. Yeah. And, like, also, they, you know, there isn't a lot of boundaries. I remember we were, my family took a trip to Morocco. And this was also when I realized my dad was famous because I was like, we're in Morocco.

Who knows you in Morocco? Daddy is a big day. Yeah, I was like, so what? And this group of women followed him into the bathroom. No, they did not. Oh, what did your mom do? They weren't. She didn't do anything.

She just said, she was just eating her salmon. No, they followed him into the bathroom, like banging on his stall. Like, they were so excited. And my dad is so chill because he always understands, like, you know, people are excited. Yeah. This is their moment. But that's, like, a crazy violation of personal stuff. face like that's actually wild you're not even supposed to be in the men's bathroom number one what are you what

do you do and that does he not have security we were in morocco i think in yeah we did have security there and so they helped him but okay it wasn't like the same way where we would have had security in like the states okay um but because it was just us like traveling my brother was living in spain at the time and so we went to go visit him and then we took a trip to morocco so it was kind of like on a whim situation. Someone was there to help him, but I was, I was downfounded. I was like, oh my god, my daughter is really famous because I was like, we're in Morocco. Who knows you are Morocco? They're born this man to the bathroom. But definitely that's kind of the same thing of just like the crossing of boundaries. Absolutely. Yeah. And, you know, the other thing is like people feel like

they're entitled to that time because the moment is so big for them. And so if we're having a family dinner you know there'll be times where like my dad might have taken me to dinner and like I'm trying to talk to him about something really serious or like I got in a fight with my boyfriend and I need this thing or I feel really ugly today or like I have a pimple and like someone just comes up and interrupts and you know and it's never a big deal and I'm always super happy because you don't know how long they've waited for that photo or like that moment but you know it is kind of like a it is kind of like a a sobering moment sometimes it like kind of brings you back into into reality but I think those would be the only challenges is just definitely trying to find like genuine friendships for sure

more so an issue when I got to college um and you know like out in the world uh and then yeah just the saying no thing for sure is a thing. It's just something. I'm 30, about to be 35. I recently within like the last three years learned how to do that. Yeah. It's so hard. Yeah. But it's, it's great that you're learning now. Yeah. It's great. Do you feel like people has had assumptions about you because of who your dad is? Like who you would be, who you were, who you become? Certainly. Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely. I do think that people typically have like that kind of stuck up notion. Stereotype. Which is far from the truth. Thank you so much.

I mean, far, far, far. Yeah. But like I said, I'm just a kind of like, wellp. Yeah. I'm very like figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. I don't need a, I don't need a lot of things.

That also comes up in dating a lot too. Okay. Okay. Because, you know, my dad is a big gift giver. And he's, you know, the best. But I think people feel like, you know, you come from all this stuff. and all the cars and all the this. And so guys kind of get intimidated

that they can't give you that. And like I'm like that sounds terrible, but I'm a pretty cheap date. Like I just want to be happy. Like I just want to be happy and fed. And so if that means- And plus you already have it. You have it.

And so if that means that the date is getting like those hot dogs from Costco and that's a beautiful date. All the hot dogs are so good. I have that. They're so good. But you said you mentioned that being genuine is important to you.

Yes. So that is the most important thing. Exactly. It has nothing to do with the material things. No, it has nothing to do with the material things at all, as long as it's heartfelt. Yeah. That's like the only thing I care about.

So I definitely do think that people, you know, have kind of assumptions of me that I'll be a little stuck up or I'll need things to be happy, you know, a certain way or, you know, certain things are too good for me or I'm too good for whatever. And I just, I never even think like that. So would you ever like make the first move just because you know? know like, you know, he's not going to ask or you just like, no, you need to ask me. You need to step up.

That ain't, girl. Traditional. No. You never shoot, you wouldn't shoot a shot? I do occasionally. Okay. I mean, I know that's right, girl. Yeah, I'm not, if it, if the, if the vibe warrants it.

It's so vibe dependent. Mm-hmm. It is not, I don't know, that's tricky. You wouldn't slide into the DMs? No. No. No, I can't. I can't.

I can't. can't do that okay I I'm good with in-person convos like it's even better though I'm I'm very much the type of person like if I'm making like eye contact with someone and they're not talking to me yet like I'll just be like what's your name oh okay yeah break the eyes a little bit yes like let's just stop doing this she said let's probably just intimidate it they don't they don't know how to like get it out yeah yeah it's helping them out just a little bit let's just cut let's just cut I mean you're stunning so I can understand it even people who don't know who your father is lucky you're stunning yeah thank you so

so beautiful yeah like she's so cute yeah and so that could be intimidating so you helping people out because I know people there would be like I don't care if he can't speak to me I'm just like oh my god he's just scared he just scurred y'all yeah I can kind of tell when when guys are afraid I kind of like you're afraid so lucky yeah okay now I'm this lucky so yeah I'll usually cut the attention but I can't slide it into any end.

And that's fair. Yeah. And that's fair. And I can only get to a certain point. And then I'll like stop trying. Yeah. Yeah. But I like to be approached, I fear.

Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time, and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman.

Not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head? How about we flip the script? What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott, this entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect.

I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen. I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed?

Nope, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times, out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right.

fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life, I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy.

Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel

by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby.

If you know me, you know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring actors and really anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. You have something in your guts. You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one.

He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. So you are a creator, naturally. it seems like you talk about it and you're a dancer and you express yourself through creativity. You have a lip gloss line.

I do. Called Pretty Lucky Lips. Yes. So what inspired Pretty Lucky Lips? Well, I had, again, like I just, there was always something creative happening in the mix. When I was much younger, so my mom is a costumer. and she really wanted that's actually how my parents met oh yeah yeah yeah they met on set because I don't know what show it was but my dad was on a show and my mom was head of costuming

oh dope and so she like put on his like jacket and my dad was like you have all my jacket and my mom was like it's my jacket because I'm the head of costuming and so then they kind of like met that way oh that's cute it's actually really cute but so she you know taught me how to sew I would go to sewing camps and she's like so cool your mother doesn't play honey no she really is bad ass she really does not play

she had us in everything under oh my goodness she was so serious she's like no you guys are gonna be you're gonna know how something you're going to know how something something something something yeah and she always tells me that I need to have now she always is like you have to have a job

that AI can't take over so she's like yeah she always tells me that always always always she really wants me and Raquel to go to barbery school she wants us to be barbers because she's like no robot can be a barber I'm like okay it's true but just the way that she's thinking and the way that she is encouraging you exactly she's forward thinking she's I love it she's the best she's literally but I went to a lot of sewing schools and I was always obsessed with skirts so she was like oh let's do a skirt line and it was never

something that occurred to me but I just thought it was I was really really young And I thought it was cool that I could have a line of things I made. And so that kind of, you know, connected the business juices flowing in my head. I always thought, as I got older, I always thought I was going to be a creative director. Because I was obsessed with dance. Like, it was literally my whole life. I was a competitive dancer for years. I had, like, won a bunch of titles.

I had choreographed a lot of stuff. I had like guest choreographed and you know I had done a lot of things I was captain of the cheer team okay I like I you know used to style photo shoots for people I used to put together concepts for photo shoots so I always thought that would be my my eventual lane like I would creative direct choreographed you know shows or music videos or something I didn't quite know how to make that a bit like how to make it a thing i didn't really know how to do it but i just knew i was good at it okay i knew i knew i was good at um making things look nice that was the only thing that i i knew in my head that i was really good at okay and so i took a my mom again i'm so glad i can talk about this now but she would make us do all these things or i'd be like this is pointless like this is so useless. I don't want to do that. And then later on, it's like the best thing I've is the best thing I did. So I went to during COVID, I'm like miserable. It's like my senior year

and she made us do this business camp. And I was a year of high school. Mama loves a camp. Oh my gosh. I need to go to her school. I need to go to a camp. We need to go to Mama Camp. It's the Lorna College School of Hardin-Ox. Like actually, she always had I had to go to a debate camp. I had to do the French camp. And then, this business camp it was a real estate and business camp she really was setting the foundation for you she was not oh my goodness it was an intensive yeah and so you got into it was a competition you got into groups and you take this bit of real estate and you flip it with another with a business idea like you construct a business idea out of this piece of real that's so dope yeah it was really cool

and it was through Cornell university okay yeah it was really really cool actually but it was during COVID so had to be online which was why I was like this sucks but it would have been fun if I was able to go there and like the world wasn't shut down yeah um but I was like girl this is miserable but I won the competition stop yeah I won the competition and then I was like whoa like business I was like wow that's so cool like it was yeah it was really really amazing actually and so then that kind of again again I started to propel this. The idea for business. I got really into makeup. I actually famously hated makeup because I was a competitive dancer and you have to wear. Oh, you have to wear that red lipstick. Yeah.

Not the red lipstick. Oh, my God. Oh, my red lipstick. No, it's so that red. It was Ruby. What's that? Ruby Red. Ruby Wood.

Ruby Wood. It had to be Ruby Root. And everybody on. And those wings. Not the wing. Yes. The wings. The lashes.

They all have the same makeup one. It was a lot. It was a lot. And so my mom would come to the competition with her little makeup bag. And I'd be like, ooh, girl, please don't put that on me. Like, I just hated it. And I also had eczema. So I had like full body.

Eczema type. It was not cute. And so I just would feel like my lips would get so itchy, like scratching, you know, stuff off. I would feel so uncomfortable wearing makeup. And so I just did not like it. Okay. I eventually, when you know, you get into high school, I was like, ooh, I want lip gloss and like, I want to start wearing makeup. Yeah.

And so I would like go to like the beauty store and get like clear. Black girl clear. Black girl. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And so I just became obsessed with that.

And then I just got really into makeup. I started really getting, I thought I was going to transition into doing like makeup for, film and television and like theater okay and so then during my gap year i had expressed that to my family and they're like okay well you should go to makeup school so i did two i did a cosmetic good for you sis it was really cool i got a cosmetic certification from a school in spain in barcelona okay and i was there for maybe like three two to three months and then i went to the makeup forever academy in paris and then i was there for a lot longer and that one was there for a lot longer and That one was like super intense.

And that's when I really kind of cemented everything. And that was like you like are in school and all of my instruction was in French. Okay, let's pause. Yeah. So after you went overseas and you did your cosmetology, when did this get birth? How soon was that? It got birthed during. So during all of you.

Wow. So it actually was. birthed during COVID, but nothing was open. The idea was there, but nothing could actually come into fruition because, like, China was shut down. Everything was shut down. So the formulas and you figuring out how to get it into this packaging, when did that start? That started around 2020.

So I guess I'm trying to figure out, like, the timeline. So it's COVID. You're going to cosmetology school. you're learning the lay of the land And I just stuck on your mom For telling about the French Yes And then she goes back

You're in French school Yeah That is wild No, she was serious She knew I mean it's like she knew She was serious Well she already

We had already been going to France And going to school there Every single summer And so we would go to school there And everything would be in French She We had a friend out there who would take us she would take me to school I'd go to school for like three hours

and then she would just talk to me all day and actually the friend that we had that lived there was a makeup artist I actually should mention that because that's actually kind of how I got into it when I was 16 and I went to France over the summer we had so we used to have a nanny okay in California and that nanny had a friend that still lived in France okay She was our nanny was from Paris. And so her friend that lived in France said, oh, when they come out here, I'll just, I'll take her around and I'll, you know, be with her for when she's not in school.

And so that's exactly what she did. She picked me up in the morning. She'd take me to school. She taught me how to use the metro in Paris. Okay. And then afterwards, we would go do her little adventures. And she would talk to me. She didn't know English.

So she would talk to me all day in French. And she was a makeup artist for Du Yore. Okay. And so that was the time when I started to see, because at that time I hated makeup, and that was the time where I started to see that makeup was really, really cool. Because I remember we went to a,

she had a photo shoot to do, she used to do the makeup for Miss France. And we had a photo shoot to do for her, and she was like turning her into a lion. And she was doing all of this, like, amazing work on her face. And it just like transported her. And I remember being absolutely amazed that makeup could do that type of magic. That type of transformation.

Yeah, you know. And so I just, I thought it was absolutely amazing. Like, I just thought it was the best thing ever. And so that was kind of, watching her do that was kind of the moment where it started to kick in for me. That was your makeup. Yes. It was absolutely her. She was.

What a story. Wow. Yeah. And so then years later, when I was 18, I ended up going to the makeup forever school. Okay. The idea was already in my head about pretty lucky, but there was not really a way to kickstart it into like formulas and this and that. I think we had tried a little bit before I had started traveling, like that summer before I started traveling.

But we hadn't, we hadn't found exactly what it was going to be. It was going to look actually like completely different. Okay. Like everything was. Yeah. And then I took my year of traveling. I finished at the Make Up Forever Academy, got my certifications. I came back.

My mom made me go to lash school as well. She wanted me to be a lash test. Like to install the individual? Yeah. Yeah. She's so. So you could do pretty lucky lashes. Yes.

Exactly. No. She was going to make sure there was pretty lucky everything. So this is the beginning of a brand. Yes. For you. Yes. Okay.

Pretty lucky lips. is not going to just be lips. Hopefully it's going to be pretty lucky. You're going to scale it out. So what is your plan? Without telling all your secrets, how do you plan on? How would you like to scale the business?

So we actually have thought about doing lashes next. Because a lip and a lash is our need, honestly. And I love lashes. Yeah, exactly. And so we're trying to kind of, also in that kind of French aesthetic of things as well, something I learned from going to school

there is French women are very minimal very minimal I wouldn't have thought that very very very very minimal very chic okay they love a bare face and like a bold it's like skincare almost like skincare makeup makeup very no makeup makeup makeup yeah they love a bold lip a little mascara maybe and you know maybe a cheek tint yeah like like a pinch yeah like a pinch just look like your cheeks have been pinch it's very very minimal very chic and so I think kind of in that same vein, the idea of having a company that's just lashes and lips is like in that same kind of

minimal aesthetic. I love that. Very fresh. Yeah. And that's, but it's classic though. It will never go out. Exactly. And you can have the brand forever and ever. Exactly. Yeah. That's very smart. So you're building this brand. Hey, I'm Ruby Carr, the host of the podcast, Encore. Check out

So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspire to. actors and really anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you.

He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What is it like to build something outside of your father? It's interesting. Yeah, you know what? I always think about that because I think in my roommate and best friend, I always have the conversation about being called a Nepo baby or a Nepo child.

And that's not something that ever really, we never, it never, it never really, we don't think of it. Of course, people call us that. Yeah. But I don't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it didn't compute to me that that's what I was because my father's not in the cosmetic space. Yeah. And you've studied and you've went to school for all of the other things. You have studied and studied. That can't be something that's attached to you.

Exactly. Because you've worked for this. Thank you. Yeah. Right. That's what entire language. And so, yeah, I think just, I think people assume, you know, sometimes when you're like a celebrity child and you have like a business now that you're like not really in those meetings and like, you know, you're just slapping your name on something. Or it falls on your lap.

Exactly, exactly. But it just really wasn't that type of situation. I had to be in every single meeting. I was on every single email thread. Still am. Like, it's an obsession for me. And also I had to prove to my parents that I really wanted it. Like my parents, having a business is an investment.

And thank God my parents believe in me enough. But I had to really prove to them. Like I had to make business plans and like presented to them and be like, this is my business. Like they're like they're investors. Like and they took it seriously. Yeah. Like it was a very serious ordeal. They had to, they really had to know that I was, I was.

in it to win it. It had to make sense for them because their investment is a risk. Exactly. So it needs to make sense for them. And so they can get you to the door, but they can't, the work has to be done by you. One thousand percent. Once to open his door, what are you gonna do

once you get in the door? 1000%. Yeah. And so my dad didn't come to any meetings. Like it's like my, like he wasn't, I don't even know if he knew I was like really doing it. Yeah. Like I, it wasn't, it wasn't like,

you know, supposed to be an extension of him. And so I just, just think I mean I feel so because we always did things growing up and made things that didn't feel like they were attached to him yeah it didn't feel any different than you know going to a dance competition or um you know being in a school play or doing this or doing that it didn't feel good any different in that sense um but I did have the feeling even at that time when I was 18 I say that like I'm so much older now. It was four years ago.

But I say that like even at that time, I knew that it was going to be big for me and I took it so serious and I was really, really hyper and excited about it. And so I was just excited. Like I really wanted to get the ball rolling. No one tells you though when you start businesses that it takes a long time.

And so that was the hardest thing I had to grapple with is that it was going to take me four years to eventually get it to where it is to where it is yeah and so i just kept on like just praying and like just hoping and wishing and honestly thank god for that because if i had rushed the process slapped something on a bottle and just you know put it out there then i would have not i wouldn't have had the team that i had now shout out the team yeah um i wouldn't have had you know the brand identity and the image i had i had i wouldn't have had you know the brand identity and the image i had now throughout the four years I grew so much as a person in in what I liked and what I wanted

and what was important to me and that translated into the brand as well it's like so much aesthetically yeah and like nothing would have been the same if I had rushed the process and just been like okay let's drop it because you know you you tell people like oh this is what I want to do and then they're like oh where is it yes and then it's kind of like well tick tick like where is it you were you were building it and you were exactly a lot of you know studying and intention behind it let's take a look at what you have you know for the sake of time I know we have a little bit of time left I do want you to chew well first of all tell us what we have yes the shades and you know pick a shade that represents legacy yeah

Tell us about the formula as well. Tell us what the colors are and how you got there. This is only half the line. Should we show the camp? Like, do we need to pick them up? At the end? At the end. Okay, perfect.

So this is, right, this is goddess. That's kiss me. I believe that's, I think that's her. And then that at the end is obsessed. How do you come up with the name? Yeah. It's just a combination of me and my mom. Yeah.

Yeah. My mom is, she has like, way cuter, like, name. ideas than me um those are cute they're so cute but yeah I think it just kind of like they blossomed just from how they feel like I don't think there wasn't a true um kind of theme to them I do try to pick sayings or things that I say so and just like how it feels like I we called this one obsessed because I was like I'm obsessed with that color like I love it um and they're beautiful Thank you. So before we transition into our next segment, is there a specific shade that represents legacy?

I will say, I'm going to pick up this one. Okay. I'll say her represents legacy just because it was the first shade that I, I believe this was one of the first ones I tried. And it was important to me. This is also a color I keep in my bag at all times. Is that what you're wearing? Yes. I quite literally always, always have one of these in my bag.

It's just like the perfect kind of gold shimmer. It looks good on your skin. Yeah, it does. It looks so good. It's super light. It's really, really, it comes on, it's not even iridescent. It just has this like very light kind of clear, but also like coated shimmer. Yeah.

And it's also our like most sell like sold out one right now. So that's your flagship color. This is our flagship color. I love that. Where do you see this in five years? Like what's the what's the hope in the dream for pretty lucky lips? The hope in the dream for pretty lucky lips is that it becomes a all-encompassing beauty brand. I'd like to do body.

I'd like to do fragrance. I want to do it all. So in five years I hope that it's not just pretty lucky lips. I hope that it's I'm speaking into Cheers Yes Cheers to pretty lucky lips

Good for you sis You're so young So wise and already doing so much Good for you girl Thank you guys Yes Okay so we have a segment on board To the game

Called impersonating greatness It's where we ask our guest to lovingly impersonate their parents So give us Cedric But the Dad Edition The Dad Edition I don't know.

There's not a real way to impersonate it, but because he has a terrible tactic of taking my food. Every time I'm eating something, he always is like, baby, let me get some. Like always, always, always. So he's like, can I have a little piece of bacon? Just give me a little corner. Like he always takes my food.

So that's something. I would say or a saying that reminds me of him is, do you want to share a steak? That's what he always says. Do you want to share a steak? Because we're the only people on our family that eat meat. So he's always like, do you want to share a steak? Oh.

I know. It's our little thing. Those are cute. Is there a lesson that he's taught you that has stuck? I think the lesson that he's taught me that's stuck the most is definitely some dating advice. and just to not ever dull my sparkle down for anyone. Yeah, that's definitely something

that he always, always, always instills in me. And just to continue shining no matter what. So yeah. Good advice. Great advice. So we also have a segment on Born to the Game called Legacy Objects. It's where our guests bring something small

that holds a big story, an item that represents where they come from, what they carry with them, and how legacy shows up in everyday life. So lucky, what did you bring today? I brought, I don't know if it's allowed, I brought a photo. Yeah, but like it's on my, it's on my phone. Yeah. Okay, I didn't know. That was.

Girl, it's anything. It's anything that represents you. We had someone bring in a pen. Yeah, a microphone. We've had pictures before. We've had bra. Yeah. Yeah.

That is adorable. Well, we have, I just think my favorite thing ever is, I'm, my family calls me like, like, just like a photo album. So you take all the pictures. I take all the pictures, but I also find all the pictures. Oh, okay, all the old pictures. Okay. And I don't, I think they're always really confused as to like how I found it because they're

like, what, like, what are you digging through? like to find these but I really do dig because I think it's so cute just like to have all these old photos but I brought this photo of my brother and I sleeping on my dad and we just look so cute so what does that picture mean to you I just think it's so sweet and I'm always constantly in this position with my father I'm always cuddling him in some way Oh look at Yes and especially at this time We used to take naps together

That was like our time Together Yes because he's always so tired Because he's always I'm pretty sure He's like narcoleptic or something He's like always sleeping Yeah And so I just think this picture is really sweet

We were We were traveling here We went somewhere for a show And so I just think it's adorable brother and I and it represents how important family is yes and no matter how busy your dad is and what he has going on and we all know he has so much on this plate he makes time for you always family is children so that's beautiful always always always that's beautiful he's the best yes

love you dad what's one legacy that you would want to be remembered for like what legacy are you creating and what's one thing you would say to your dad it's like a double question I think one legacy I want to be remembered for definitely and something that we try to pour into Pretty Lucky as a brand is authenticity.

He's a really great father. We love Cedric. He really is just like a big teddy bear. He's just the best. But we also have one more surprise for you. We can't, we can't end the day without having a little bit of a

surprise. Oh my god. So. Oh my God. This is petrifying. Hey, what's up? Big shout-out, man. Cedric the entertainer here. I just wanted to send a big,

commend you. Really proud of you to my daughter, Lucky Rose. Founder of pretty lucky lips and pretty lucky cosmetics. You know, you work very hard on this project, man. Many years of having adoration for the world of skincare and makeup and, you know, had a dream about doing this. And you started to lock in on the idea and you put that time in. You really did. I have watched you be on Zoom meetings for hours to care about the marketing, the packaging, the way that you source it and what you were actually bringing to the marketplace.

The idea you've been through so many photo shoots and marketing campaigns and hires and non-hires and the process that it takes to build something, people don't know these things don't happen overnight. and you show dedication to that all while being graceful and kind and purposeful about your goals. And all the while doing that as a college student. So I'm proud of you. Your grades are strong. Your friendship group is great. Your smile is radiant. Your attitude is positive.

And yet you are building something that will be a legacy for you. You got your name on it and you care about it. that it does represent that. So congratulations to you. Keep up to good work. Keep being a great example. Keep letting that light shine from deep within side you and you go forth and you do great things. All right.

On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
