- Bullying
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was a teacher, I definitely noticed bullying happening, and I noticed people choosing to be quiet when they should speak up. And so for me, as a teacher, it wasn't just about advocating for students who were being picked on but trying to teach the bystanders how to speak up and not be afraid.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
My social media is riddled with me speaking out on stuff that matters because silence is a petri dish for hate. For me, it's important to speak out.

- Funny

I'm a military brat, so I moved around a ton. When you're making friends and you're funny, it makes that easier.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When someone on screen portrays a character that behaves in a way you don't expect, you're subverting ideas. So if there's a Venn diagram between why people are drawn to the characters I play, it may be that. But I'd like to think that the craft of acting and the choices I make as an actor are drawing people on their own merits.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the things I pride myself on is that my fan base is progressive, but I don't shy away from people who think differently from me. I welcome productive conversations, but it's important for me to not hide where I stand.
- Me

My feet are firmly planted in my political ideology. To me, it's being authentic in every area, and that includes politics.

Black women have earned the right to be basic.
- Component
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As far as the adjectives that I lead with, I think a writer and a comedienne are first. I have never qualified my experience or gender or my race, although I know that's a huge component on how that is used. But I think in order for me to do my job effectively, I have to really be the best at what it is I'm doing.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
As far as being a plus-size woman, I play a plus-size character by default, and for me, the visibility - that, I think, is key.
- Journey
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been kind of precocious, but my journey sort of solidified when I was in college and majored in theater. That's how I knew I wanted to spend my life writing, telling, and performing stories.
- Creative
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the biggest things I learned was not to tell myself 'no' before someone else. As someone who's creative, I know the inner critic can be really loud. Early on in my career, I would just listen to it and tell myself 'no.'
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I loved about playing Ms. Albright in 'Love, Simon' is that, so often, when we speak of allies in the queer community, we don't really get to see what it means be an active ally. I love that she can step into this world with these kids and be a truth teller.
- Different

- Nov 07, 2020
I think a caricature is different than a character.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Challenge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember writing monologues and one-act plays and stuff in high school. I had a project in English that was just a short book of limericks. It was so weird. I enjoyed the challenge and rhyme of it. I was always putting on plays and stuff.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would just take dolls around the house - there's old VHS footage from my dad, who was an early adapter and had this RCA camera - and it's me taking a Michael Jackson Barbie doll and putting on a show with that.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Improv is such a huge part of my background, and a huge part of character discovery is really being inside the character and trying to think through them without the limitations of the script.
- Graduates
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Teaching theater, I felt very lucky. In a world where there's few options for someone who graduates with a theater degree, trying to figure out how to make rent and pay the bills, I always gravitated towards teaching jobs and things like that. I wanted to stay close to my passion as well.
- Myself

- Nov 07, 2020
I have chosen to never take myself out of the running for roles. I will continue to throw myself into projects that I am passionate about and will continue to create opportunities for myself.

My bread and butter is rom-com, and if I had to go back and tell my 15-year-old self watching 'When Harry Met Sally' that one day I would be writing a film in the same genre, I would have freaked out.
- Important
