As for how they celebrated being cast in their first feature film, Malika said she and her sister kept a longstanding tradition alive. "If we booked a commercial or a TV show, my mom would always celebrate with us by throwing a pizza party. And although we weren't children anymore, it was a part of the tradition to celebrate booking a job, you know, and that's what we did," she explained. "We threw a pizza party, we kept it the same. We kept it traditional.
Khadijah added that Preston's presence on set made a lasting impression on her. "I just remember her talking to me and hugging me and, in between takes, watching her go over her lines. It made you feel like, 'You know what, this is what it takes.' And she was sharing in that and she was present in that and she was so nice and so gracious to everybody. I really took that," she said.
