What inspired you to seek a career in television?
Television has influenced my life in immeasurable ways and acts as a cathartic constant that I know I can always turn to. It has also brought me closer to so many people in my life. Being part of TV creation would be a way for me to do for others what so many other TV shows have done for me.

What inspired you to seek a career in television?
More than anything, I was inspired by my own personal addiction to television. I figured I ought to turn my slightly compulsive binge-watching habits into a career so my parents couldn't gripe about it any longer. But I was also in a large part inspired by my friends in college, particularly the relationships I've formed with other Black filmmakers and artists on my campus. Their creative genius, boldness and relentless pursuit to follow their dreams continues to inspire me every single day.

What inspired you to seek a career in television?
Since adolescence, I have been interested in television and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. As a young black woman, I needed to see women like me in positions of power. Watching Keke Palmer in True Jackson, VP instilled in me that your talent and ambition can aid in your success despite your background or experience. Even though True Jackson was in the fashion industry, the show's message was transferable. True Jackson VP taught me at a young age that I already had the power to make an impact in the world because of my determination.

What inspired you to seek a career in television?
I grew up with a passion for entertainment but always imagined it to be so far-fetched. What really inspires me to continue to pursue careers in the entertainment industry is my elementary-aged self who dreamed of immersing herself the world that television and Hollywood creates. I have always had similar goals, dreams, and desires as to what I wanted my future to be like and entertainment has always been a huge influence on what I want to achieve.

There was no big moment of epiphany, but over time, I learned to appreciate television as one of the most versatile and collaborative ways to tell a story.
