I just saw the movie this morning. Up late ,so I nodded out and missed the love scene lol ! Overall, I am happy she cleared up some underlying issues so eloquently. She fit the role quite well. Gonna see it again!
This was one of the best interviews ever!!! She needs to teach a master class on self worth, blackness, and cinema and how we can be of service to the community. MAXINE SHAW!!!! was the best character on Living Single. Girl we need to see you more on the big screen
There is much value in being multi-lingual. Americans are near the top, in people living in developed countries, who don't speak multiple languages. That wouldn't be such a problem, if we were self sufficient as a group, but we are not that. We don't have enough schools to educate ourselves, nor can we independently provide the necessities of life for ourselves. The words Queen and King are from the oppressor's language, African people had words for their leadership, yet even Afrocentric/Pan-Africanist Black people use these terms. Even the word African, is not our word, but the world accepts it, even Africans. But Africans know who they are in their own words, as well. Their focus is more narrow than the entire continent. Their ethnicity is there primary focus. The word Africa is less a problem than is the use of the terms KING and Queen. The average Black person who hear those terms think of someone like Elizabeth of England and Ferdinand of Spain. What do they mean for people of Africa and the Black African Diaspora, if not colonization and worst? Black people have not employed critical thinking nearly enough, in our struggles. It is far more fundamental and thus valuable to our struggle than is Critical Race Theory. Not all of us need to understand CRT, but all of us need to be able to apply critical thinking in all we do.
Erika Alexander is a national treasure. Seriously, actress, director, writer, brilliant orator. This interview should be required viewing for all Americans--especially Hollywood.
She’s absolutely right I was in Bulgaria, Sofia on a train and seen young Bulgarian men wearing Jordan’s etc. went to restaurants black American music being played. I wasn’t surprised but I had a moment like wow. The influence!!!!
Exactly. I go to Michelin star restaurants and the majority of the time, the music being played overhead is exclusively R&B. We need to recognize our influence and capitalize on it and stop talking about being sellouts. Someone is selling it and making money from it, and if we are the creators, then it should be us ho are the main beneficiaries. Our music, our slang, our street style, our art, our idealism. We are influential and influence is power if it is harnessed correctly.
I've been watching/listening to the Breakfast club for over 5 years now. If someone who has never heard or listened to an episode and needed just ONE recommendation, it would be this one with the amazing Erika Alexander. Thank you so much for your contribution and perspective of the world.
It was hearing part of Erika Alexander’s interview 5years ago on the radio that brought me down the rabbit hole of Breakfast Club interviews on UA-cam. Love to hear her speak!
Always here for an Erika Alexander interview she’s so purposeful , informative and very aware and I appreciate that. ❤ her !!! Thank you for mentioning how Phylicia Rashad has not gotten her very much deserved Emmy awards and more!
Erika Alexander is the picture of beauty, poise, elegance and intelligence. She just taught a lesson on compensation inequality in the entertainment business and Black History. Love her!
Erika has kept it authentic the entire time she's been in the business. As a Philadelphia native I am proud to say Freedom Theatre is where she got her start.
☝Get rid of RELIGION (religion itself divides ALL PEOPLE), get rid of CAPITALISM, 4get COLONIAL white-washing (teaching African American, Hattians, & other Caribbean's that they AREN'T AFRICAN) 🤔 and then , MAYBE THERE;s A CHANCE
They would be so scared if we all came together but remember the love to divide and conquer....they are afraid of what they done to us because we would do it to them...if only...
This woman is so dope! I have never met her but feel as if I’ve known her all of my adult life! Conversations like this followed by action is so needed in our lives and communities!
I feel her pain and courage, Erika Alexander is living and breathing sacred medicine. Thank-you guys for having her again and again, treating her respectfully.
I can’t help but to gravitate to everything that she does. She brilliant and I’m eager to see all the opportunities soon flooding her way. Erika is a powerhouse with a great fan base. I see so much in her that she’s willing to give to this industry and culture if invited… Well deserved and Erika, I stand with you!
She is too militant and pro black for white Hollywood. Thus interview explain why we haven't seen her in more mainstream movies and TV show. Her comments will make white people nervous and uncomfortable.
What a beautiful, talented and intellectual human being. Thank you Erika Alexander for this interview. You are speaking on behalf of so many of us. We see you! Thanks to those that have seen you as a woman and not just a dark skinned, nappy headed “hammer”. You are EVERYTHING and your empowering voice and words touched my soul. Thank you again for voice and contributions.
Beautiful, eloquent, and intelligent. Ms. Alexander is such a gem. 👸🏾 If you haven't seen American Fiction go see it ASAP. It's funny and thought provoking. It really breaks away from how Black people are stereotyped in movies. Plus the cast did a great job
This interview was so powerful and she is Absolutely Beautiful. I always love the knowledge she drops about these Young Black Folks these days about their history since they want to be so forgiving and trusting. It's important to know your history and theirs as it pertains to us. It directly relates to how we are perceived. I Love Black People
I saw American Fiction 2 Fridays ago. It was well written, satirically funny and a very good thinking movie. Definitely will see it a 2nd time. Jeffrey Wright has moved from Supporting Actor to Leading Man and it's well earned. 👏🏽👏🏽
Love me some Erika ❤. It breaks my heart to see her cry in these interviews. It’s not the first time, this is something she and many others carry so much around in themselves and have to have a brave face on press runs, etc. It just comes to a head at a point.
This interview with Erika is amazing her hair is beautiful.I love the way she articulate herself.The auntie that i could talk to all the time.#BlackDon'tCrack!!❤
@bigmattic65 lmao oh you one of those huh? All ima say is her character in Living Single, Max , the one she said that white folks claimed was "too strong"....she may not shake her ass but she loved sleeping with men and treating them like conquest. Something I'm sure you'd say about a modern women. So I doubt you really know what she represents frfr
Man she spoke nothing but honesty power and strength 💪 ❤🙌 what an amazing interview way to close the week off 🙌 we need more conversations like this every month please 🙏
I love the smarts of Erika Alexander she's always articulated facts about the movie, tv industry, she is a accomplished actress, excelling in everything she does as all of these men and women of color always have to supersede their counterparts and they always are having to negotiate pay when their counterparts have less talent and they get a better pay salary out the gate, so the more men and women in the industry open their mouths and discuss the disparities the better the pay scale will be even across the board, receiving a tony a Grammy,a emmy, an academy obviously does not translate to earning more money for people of color and this needs to stop ASAP!!!
🎉🎉🎉ORIGINS movie was a pleasure to watch. It felt like a relatable film with a Heavy weight cast. Watching the trailer I was like "oh wow" a cast of heavy weights. They were fantastic! 19:14 that scene conveyed her feminity, delicacy, and a "cleansing" quality that had both a reHydrating & Redemptive quality that they Both needed. #RealLife ❤ the interview. Erika Alexander you are so well spoken,Classy Grounded Bold and Desirable. PS: E.A (male perspective) the way you projected maturity, confidence and prowess was phenomenal. You went for what you wanted, was supportive an was even willing to walk away all while being a mature woman of color.
This beautiful Queen is a CROWNED JEWEL of our community. She always speaks from her heart and the love of our community is apparent. Love to see her in interviews. May she stay blessed + abundant!
Thank you for such a profound and insightful conversation. You have widened my perspective on my place in this world. Time to love and see our true value. ❤
Wow. This was as informative as it was invoking. Another fantastic Erika Alexander Breakfast Club interview in the books. Gems on top of gems. Ms. Alexander is exceptional in every way and even though we're not even out of the first month of the new year, gonna call it by saying this is and will be one of the best BC interviews this year. Looking forward to watching American Fiction.
28:47 That is absolutely the dumbest thing I heard Charla say. There is zero difference in intelligence when it comes to men and women. And Erika is a true queen to correct him in that manner. This is the mindset that all black people need to have when we see each other. Thank you Erika, she is exhibiting true brilliance.
I'm really enjoying this interview. I loved Ericka's role in American Fiction, it was a breath of fresh air to see my chocolate skin Sister in a romantic role.
Ms. Alexander did a phenomenal job! She is INTELLIGENT, BEAUTIFUL AND WELL SPOKEN!! I appreciate the brothers being quiet and letting this black queen speak and drop seeds of knowledge and wisdom. 😊
I love her, from the hair and shouting out the hair dresser to the way she speaks on topics that matter to her. Phenomenal actress that knows her stuff
I was just thinking of her beautiful self ❤ an original sister that's still looks like herself and works very hard she is also regal and mature and let's not forget educated ❤️ Love her! This is a great interview 👏🏾 🙌🏾 👍🏽 👌🏾 🙏🏽 Thank you for giving us substance 💯🖤❤️💚😘
She speaks so eloquently ❤ i agree that when you brand something as black cinema, black this and that, you put yourself in a box. As someone who's not black, i would feel like i cannot relate and so would not even give it a chance.
I'm so blessed to have been surrounded by strong black woman like this. She is and has always been beautifully and boldly black. Love the energy she brings and I have never seen her in a bad movie.
Just caught "American Fiction" in the theatre this week... fantastic film! Very intelligent, very funny, and well worth the trip to the cinema. Go see it, you won't feel like you've wasted your time or money!
I just fell in love w/ Erika! 👏🏿✊🏿💙 each time she comes to the Breakfast Club she is soooo regal and as Charlemagne mentioned "intentional ". She reminds me of Philicia Rashad ! Blacc men let's stand up for these queens! 👏🏿✊🏿
Amazing conversation! Erika Alexander is the TRUTH! I cannot wait to see American Fiction this weekend. OOHWEEEE! This is one of my favorite Breakfast Club interviews!
I'm glad they did this interview of substance instead of a bunch of foolishness Erika Alexander is the best whoever did it and one of the Most Known Unknown she's a phenomenal actress and has always been conscious and speaking up for the cause for black people much respect to this sister
Applause, Applause, Applause!!!! Erica Alexander is a jewel!!!! This was a very thoughtful and insightful interview! I loved seeing her from Maxine Shaw attorney at law to the GAW she is today!!! I will always support her career!!!❤❤❤❤
Wonderful to see this wise woman again. Articulate, clear, and concise. It's high time for a new paradigm in this country........and they'll never ever see it coming.
AMAZING interview! Always a blessing to hear the goddess herself drop facts and gems! Love her mind and her energy! She deserves all the accolades and notoriety for her caliber of work! A true legend still leading the charge! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If Grace had a face it would be Erika! We need more like her. Conscious and Evolved. Everything about this interview was so powerful. She would be a wonderful senator. Heck Erika for President!
This is a very necessary conversation. Thank you Breakfast Club. 🤜🏾🤛🏾
I love your channel! ❤

Really dope interview. She’s very direct and at the same time so graceful with the way she articulated her words 🙏🏾✊🏾💪🏾
My bag! I approve of your comment! Fingers moving to quickly without seeing!
Yup! She’s totally focused and super clear about her views.

I couldn't agree more.
I agree but *should
Definitely!!! They could have done a spin-off show focusing on her!
Absolutely agree such an amazing interview
Erika Alexander is brilliant! You guys need to bring her on your program more often. She's a great actress.
She is SPEAKING truth!!!! “We’ve adopted the language of our oppressors “ wow! She’s speaking truth! Thank you Queen! I’m afraid for US too.
There is much value in being multi-lingual. Americans are near the top, in people living in developed countries, who don't speak multiple languages. That wouldn't be such a problem, if we were self sufficient as a group, but we are not that. We don't have enough schools to educate ourselves, nor can we independently provide the necessities of life for ourselves.

It is far more fundamental and thus valuable to our struggle than is Critical Race Theory. Not all of us need to understand CRT, but all of us need to be able to apply critical thinking in all we do.
Basically
Wow, if you think america is this “systematic racist opressed” country then leave.
Yet she was married to a WM
Gtfoh
Thank-you, very truthfully and wisely said.@@siriuslyspeaking9720
Erika Alexander is a national treasure. Seriously, actress, director, writer, brilliant orator. This interview should be required viewing for all Americans--especially Hollywood.
I wish these interviews would go viral like the ones with drama.
I was just thinking the same thing. I bet if Katt Williams was on there it would have over 1 mil views by now.
Right! Should have WAY more views!
They will if we share.
@@altovisemiller9900 Katt made a lot of good points as well. But he is not the only person that has gotten over 1 million views.
@@filmadcamp1512there were not enough good points in there to mention ahead of the drama and hyperbole.
She NEVER disappoints! I love her interviews, what a breathe of fresh air to hear coversations of substance.
All this "woke" pro-black talk and she's married to a white man.
She said, "I vote for the Village." Powerful.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
All this "woke" pro-black talk and she's married to a white man.
She is BEAUTIFUL she is INTELLIGENT she Is GRACIOUS she is a force to be recognized... THANK YOU QUEEN❤❤❤
DJ Evy and Charlemagne shined the and Erica reflected back 10X. I LOVRD this session. Thank you
Her gifting those books and being so gracious to them at the end caused me to tear up. What a beautiful person. I loved this interview.
It got me too. I would love to just sit and talk with her.
She’s absolutely right I was in Bulgaria, Sofia on a train and seen young Bulgarian men wearing Jordan’s etc. went to restaurants black American music being played. I wasn’t surprised but I had a moment like wow. The influence!!!!

The sad thing is, all that revenue, The lage part of the cake still goes to the white power structre smh
She represented us so well!!! Thank you Erica
Lemme just say- I love her!!! She is very enlightening. “Look at what 13% has done”… Amazing! We have to do more.
Met her in the streets of NYC over 30 yrs ago while on a school trip. Wonderful woman and as nice as she was her! Love her!
