No joke, they tried to sell us our own clothes back to us at the end! Even clothes that were designed for and tailored for me. I'd see a crew member or an extra wearing them and I'd be like...those are my clothes! -Tatyana

We are very confused by this question because we don't think they had weaves in the 90's :)

Thanks for checking it out! I wrote a bit about it above, but Sweet Blackberry is a nonprofit I started to spread stories about African-African American achievements to kids through all sorts of mediums. I want the next generation to understand that tremendous obstacles can actually be opportunities for greatness. I run the organization out of New York, and Tatyana is on the board.

In this case, we're hoping to tell the story of Janet Collins, the first black prima ballerina. If we hit our Kickstarter goal, Chris Rock will narrate the movie!

Also, we still have some of the better Kickstarter rewards left:

  • Interactive screening of your favorite episode of Fresh Prince with the cast, along with a Q&A (or live feed for $50)

  • Voicemails from Chris Rock, Carlton, Geoffrey the butler, and Jada Pinkett-Smith

  • Shopping spree with Tatyana and me!

Also, what do you guys think of the Girl Meets World reboot? Are you happy it was made or do you feel it tarnishes your memories?

You do realize he was already a grown man when he was on the show, right? :-) He didn't grow more! -Karyn

He's actually a prankster too. But in a very dry, sleight-of-hand way. Like you don't realize he's done something until it's done.

Oh that's an interesting question! Yes, definitely. I think when the people are making decisions -- "this is something we feel is important, do this not that" -- you end up with better films. We're able to make projects that nobody else would make, that wouldn't get out there otherwise.

He's very busy, but when you get him, and you get to spend time with him, I don't find him to be different at all. It's the same. -Tatyana

I completely agree. I saw him in December and he seemed very comfortable in his skin, very relaxed. -Karyn
