I don't want to be self-mythologizing, but I do feel like, growing up, on TV, there weren't a lot of young Black women who I felt actually looked like me or people I knew, or were allowed to have imperfections.
I went to NYU for writing. And I think writing and being in writing rooms in service of other people bought me time. It gave me the confidence to be, like, 'Okay, here's what I can do.'
I've always kind of had a voice that people have commented on. And I've always really loved animation and voiceover. I was just always a fan of that medium.
One thing we know for sure is that the Web is a collaborative medium unlike any we've ever had before. We see people working together, playing together, interacting in social settings using these media. We hope that will emerge as the new tool for education.
And 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll' was a very transitional film for me in that I was one of the producers and you know, came up with the idea with the writer and the producer, as well. But, it was a very collaborative event. You know, I really love working in that way.
In all the stuff I do, I really like it most when I'm being creative and collaborative, working with people who have my kind of energy around me.
When you're writing about someone feeling so isolated and so lonely, when the making of it becomes collaborative, that's a special thing.
