    Hey, guys! I wrote a hangout comedy, a la Friends, but with a diverse group of characters who are in their mid-30s and, therefore, washed as hell. ✌🏾People are calling it✌🏾 "funny," "smart," "charming," "true," and "too close to home!" 👇🏾

    Somehow all the people I surrounded myself with are thriving so HARD in 2019. It’s insane. My friends are so dope and it’s so inspiring. 😍

    Some people have said ’s original half-hour comedy, WASHED, is “funny.” Others have said it’s “smart.” What they’re all saying?? “Hire her!”

    Yesterday, I did community service, took my college freshman cousin out to eat, and swung by my best friend's house and introduced her 11-month-old son to his first queso, which I whipped up from scratch (gotta start 'em young). No photos, please.

    Sometimes I stop and think about the fact that there’s a whole generation of people who didn’t get the party started to Let Me Clear My Throat....Then I continue scrolling through Netflix trailers in search of my Saturday night movie.

    No. I have the decency to save the worst parts of myself for my friends and family — the people whom I love the most.

    ALERT!! 🚨 ALERT!! 🚨 Some news. I’m thrilled to announce that (Cynthia Adarkwa) will be joining the writing team. How did we find her, you ask? My office SCOURED THE STAFFING GRID. We read her, she met w/us and we hired her. Boom.

    I entered this staffing season with a lot of anxiety, but I've been so encouraged and inspired by the way writers at all levels have banded together to lift each other up. May we keep this same energy well after the WGA-ATA showdown ends!

    "I got a baby. I need some money." is my favorite Cardi B lyric. So specific, yet so universal.

    $6.5 million?? 🤯 I spent a low six figures on my law degree, and I’m pissed off about it every day.

    Some of the best advice I’ve ever been given: “don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t ever go to for advice”
