I am a black woman, and I'm proud of that, but as a showrunner, I want to think about what makes me unique beyond my race.

My parents were 30 years older than I was, and my parents had my brother and I ten years apart. My parents grew up in segregation, and they both lived in all-black neighborhoods and grew up with large black families. I didn't have any of that, and I didn't understand feeling so differently and being treated so differently.

I always wanted to make a show that had everything I wanted to watch, as opposed to just one or two things.
