I was delighted to see everyone in the lobby of my oil change place reading books yesterday, and the young woman next to me was reading Why Not Me!

Taking “Why Not Me” into “actually, it can be me” has led you to so many roles and I’ll FOREVER be grateful for you as my first mainstream representation as a brown girl. When you win, it’s a win for everyone who sees themselves in you — even the littlest bit.

YES. THIS. THANK YOU
@mindykaling It's amazing that brown women finally have someone who doesn't have a thick accent or play a huge nerd representing them. I relate SO MUCH and I am SO GRATEFUL. -
Yesss! I’ve always wanted a brown character whose defining characteristics were NOT that she was brown. That’s just one part of her identity and personality. The Mindy Project was soo special to me for that reason.
-
SOOO special. YES :-) <3

I’ve been misreading this title. Probably self reflectively. You’re saying it’s: “why not me
” and I’ve been reading it: “why not me
”Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I love that you found a different mint door for the retake. I think you should reshoot this whenever you find one. Also: you seem to be one of those annoying people who gets better looking as they get older. Stop that. It makes us normal humans look like slackers.

When I was going through a rough patch a couple years back "why not me?" was my motto. It was a book I really needed, it helped me believe in myself. Thanks for writing it!
