In college, I didn't know whether to hang out with the black kids or the white kids, and then I found the theatre kids, and I was like, 'Oh, it doesn't matter.' We were all weird and listening to Morrissey and wearing Doc Martens so that was my tribe.

When I was pitching 'Power,' I had an executive say, 'Well, I already have a black show.' He said that right to my face.

I had to figure out that finding my place was not about race but about creativity, and connecting with other artists helped me find my voice.
