“I don't want to be self-mythologizing, but I do feel like, growing up,...” — Ayo Edebiri Quote

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.

All my prom pictures are like the top half of my face is so puffy and also it was so humid that day and my hair is just like exploded because it's so, so humid.

In comedy there's a lot of drama, and in drama there's a lot of comedy. The two meet more than the word 'genre' might indicate.

I was babysitting. I was working restaurant jobs, doing freelance, doing late-night shows where you could transcribe. I was working as much as possible.

I think when you go through a lot of changes in every aspect of your life, you kind of realize that imperfections are kind of what make us all ourselves.

I try and keep my pictures as natural as possible and try not to use too many filters, because now, it is such a world of making everything look so perfect, that in fact, it is the imperfections in people that are really unique and special. So, I try and get that across to people.

I will always continue to work hard, become stronger, and learn to love myself for who I am, imperfections and all.

Instant replay ought to be thrown out. Period. It's a game of imperfections. Why is that so bad for the game? Really, I think they are trying to make the game perfect. I'll tell you what: It will never, ever be perfect.
