i'm coachable. that's one thing i know from being in sports. >> reporter: the newly minted actor sitting down with "gma" on the set of a commercial shoot for the energy drink he invests in. >> active energy drinking, representing the u.s. of a. >> i got livi dunn in the building making accelerator look amazing. >> away from football, how do you hope that you're known? >> as a good person, man. just somebody who attacks life the right way, does things the right way, treats people kind and courteous and really inspires and influences people to do, you know, more for themselves and more for the people around them. >> reporter: and, of course, he's made time to support his girlfriend, taylor swift. >> your well talked about personal life, how do you stay true to who you are? >> when you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier. i've always been a very grounded guy. you know, it might not come off like that when i'm playing football.

but off the field, i just want to be a genuine person. >> reporter: for "good morning america," will reeve, abc news, new york. >> janai: and you can watch will's full interview with travis on our website, goodmorningamerica.com. for now we'll go back over to somara for another check of the weather. hey, somara. >> somara: good morning, janai. good morning to our friends and family out in palm beach, florida. what a beautiful view you're waking up to. now, i need you to stay hydrated. look at what it's going to feel like. this is tomorrow's feel like temperatures. factor in the heat or humidity, orlando, 103. going to disney world, make sure you get the little thing with the fan and the water that sprays out. you will need that. 102 in miami. 103 in key west. in the northeast, comfortable, mild temperatures in the 70s. upper 70s in new york city, around 78 as we head through the afternoon. that's a look at the forecast across the country. let's see what's going on closer

>> gio: all right now to this month's "gma" book club pick, "malas," the debut novel of marcela fuentes and two women living on the texas/mexico border and a curse that reverberates across generations. welcome to "gma." >> thank you for having me. >> gio: oh, absolutely. it's so cool to have you. we can see the cover of the book. it's just fantastic and it's so witchy and interesting. tell us about this story because what's interesting about this is that you set out to write a fairytale and then this story came about. how did that happen? >> i was in a class about writing fairytales in my mfa program and i set out to write a fairytale, was very much influenced by the story of leonora, the weeping woman. >> gio: yes. >> but then it evolved into this longer 50-page story and i told my professor, i don't think i can turn this in.

it's never ending. and so he told me just to keep going with it and suddenly -- well not suddenly -- but years later i have this giant novel. >> gio: so interesting how this idea just sort of came through onto the page even though you intended to do something totally different. >> yes. the characters kind of decided that they were going to do their own thing. they were not going to stay in a fairytale. it became a novel. it became a novel about women wanting to do their own thing, living their truth and so the fairytale kind of fell by the wayside. >> gio: you decided to place them on the texas/mexico border. why was it so important to highlight that community? >> well, i grew up there and i think that the main thing was that this is kind of the place i knew, the place i wanted to speak about. it's a place that i feel like is often underscored by the sort of social and political things that happen that we see on the news every day and i wanted to give that community back its humanity.

i wanted to kind of give that -- reveal the people who live there and their lives and sort of the daily things that go on there as a real community. >> gio: and as you know, we partner with little free library to get copies of our "gma" book club picks out there to readers all across the u.s. and one of our stewards, katie, has this question for you. take a look. now that it's almost book-and-drink-by-the-pool season, what's the perfect drink to pair with "malas"? >> i think a paloma. >> gio: what's that? >> it's got grapefruit juice, kind of a fruity drink but not super sweet. a tang, a kick. and if you want a mocktail i would say a strawberry agua fresca. >> gio: it seems like a sweet little story but has a kick to it. >> right, exactly. >> gio: thank you so much. so amazing and congratulations to you. what a debut for you, huh? >> yes. >> gio: how amazing is that.

just kept coming and we were like screaming and crying. it was a beautiful moment. >> janai: that's incredible. >> gio: what's so beautiful about this is that it's all about the suffragettes, who were fighting for women's right to vote. why is that so important right now? >> great question. you know, it's an election year, and so we're hoping audiences will come and see this show and feel empowered to go and exercise their right to vote that these women fought so hard for, especially in such an important year. so we're really, really hoping it empowers audiences and reminds them people fought very hard for this right. go out and exercise it. >> whit: there are some famous women connected to the show as well. hillary clinton, gloria steinem. any memorable moments? >> it's been extraordinary. hillary's been there quite a bunch, and i had a cool interaction with bill actually. they came a couple weeks ago and bill -- >> whit: bill like the former president?

a world where she doesn't ever hear the phrase, women can't or women don't. >> janai: amen. >> right? >> janai: yes. >> so that's what this is reminding me of. i want to take good care and make sure she grows up in that reality where she never has to hear that. >> whit: i love that. you're paving the way with this show. >> thank you. >> janai: thank you so much for being here. >> it's my absolute pleasure. you guys are an absolute blast. >> gio: broadway royalty, folks. >> janai: can you sing one note. ♪ what do you want ♪ >> i don't know. i don't know. >> whit: i love it. we got it. >> janai: "suffs" is now on broadway and

good morning, i'm stephanie sierra. investigators in san francisco are working to find the person who vandalized city hall. mayor london breed says she was the target of racist and sexist graffiti. multiple city employees who came into work early wednesday discovered this graffiti. it was quickly removed. the san francisco sheriff's office says they have increased foot patrols around city hall. happening now. you might have to make arrangements if you have plans to ride caltrain. this weekend. service between san francisco and san jose will be shut down so the agency can test its new electric trains. there will be some busses between the san jose, diridon, palo alto and millbrae stations. the busses will not run into san francisco, though the shutdown is part of caltrans work to electrify the railroad with trains that are supposed to

be faster, cleaner and more efficient. the new trains are set to roll out in september. here in san francisco, the pink triangle installation is underway this morning at twin peaks in honor of pride month. the triangle covers nearly an acre, and it takes hundreds of volunteers to get it in place. the commemoration ceremony begins at 1030. it's cold out there, but getting brighter in certain spots. lisa. >> yes, we're seeing that fog debt kind of erode around the edges, but there will be more cloud cover today. here's a look at a hazy looking emeryville with moderate air quality. so as we get into more wind, the second half for your weekend, the trough lifts out. but as for now, low 60s and a lot of cloud cover. some sunshine here in the south bay. mid 50s, but you too will be under partly cloudy skies today. so overall temperatures coming down again in our inland valleys a little more so. so we'll have the breeze and a bit of sun here and there throughout the day. but then more sunshine as we get into your sunday and more heat arriving into the middle of next week. stephanie.

>> lisa thank you. up next, new video from police in a case of racist threats towards a dog walker. the person of interest they are searching for now
