00:00Good morning. Thank you for being here and doing this keynote address. So give me a hint on what
00:05you're about to say. I think it's important that we lift up the stories that women in Hollywood
00:09tell because they're reflecting a conversation that's happening around the country. And so
00:13I want to really honor that and share how important it is for these stories to be advocacy for the
00:18people who go unseen and unheard. And speaking of stories, you're a women in entertainment who will
00:23soon share a story that you wrote for CBS. Talk to me about the adaptation and your pen name and
00:29all
00:29these novels that you've written. I started writing romantic suspense novels in law school and
00:34in the back of my mind always wanted to see them translated to the screen. And now I have that
00:38opportunity. This is a very different life than being a lawyer and a politician, but I'm learning
00:44very quickly. And luckily because I live in Georgia where we have so many films being produced, I've
00:48had a little bit of an easier on-ramp, but it's still an extraordinary opportunity. Have you checked
00:54in with anyone in Georgia for some advice or who do you go to? What call do you make? Well,
01:00I'm talking
01:00to the friends I have in the industry, but mostly I'm serving as a creative director with a writer,
01:06Talisha Rags, who's doing the hard work. I just get to tell her what I like and don't like and
01:09see
01:09if I can help. But this by no way means that you're giving up politics. I just read that you
01:14said,
01:15you know, you are open to a VP slot on a ticket. At the time, I think that you had
01:19not heard from
01:19anyone yet. Have you heard from anyone now? Or do you have a preference on whose ticket?
01:24Well, no. The decision of vice president happens only after there is a nominee. And my point is,
01:30I'm honored to be included in this conversation. I look forward to supporting the winner and I plan
01:35to vote for one of them in March in Georgia. How soon do you think we'll know who the candidate
01:41is
01:41or when does that happen and how much longer will we wait? The primary process is a little protracted,
01:47but that's for a good reason. We need to hear from all 50 states to understand what the community
01:52really wants, what the state and the country wants. And so this will likely run through April,
01:57probably early May, but we will have a nominee, I believe, by the convention in July.
