I'm Trying To Find My Own Version

I Felt Like It Was A Courageous Show [black-ish] From The Beginning. We Are A Black Family - We're Not A Family That Happens To Be Black. But The Show Is Not Even About Us Being Black. The Show Is About Us Being A Family. That Is Groundbreaking - On Tv, The Black Characters Either Happen To Be Black Or They're The "black Character," Where Everything They Say Is About Being Black. I Think That's The Genius.

Because Of My Unique Experience As My Mom's Child, The Beginning Of My Journey Was More About Me Trying To Figure Out Who I Was On My Own. My Mom Is One Of The Greatest Moms And So Supportive Of All My Siblings And Of All Of Us Being Who We Are, And Not Who She Wanted Us To Be.

I'm A Farmer's Market Girl, So If You Go And Get Beautiful, Fresh Fruit, That's Local, And It Hasn't Been Frozen Yet, It's Pretty Fantastic.

I Was Cast In A Movie [originally] Called Mr. Spreckman's Boat, Starring Marcia Gay Harden And Jennifer Connelly. I Felt Like An "actress." Both Of Them Have Won Oscars - Maybe That Means I Might One Day.

I Wanted Bow's Hair And Makeup And Clothing To Look Like A Woman Who Has Four Children, A Career, And A Full Life. For Example, She Won't Wear Eyeshadow Unless She's Going Out. Because It Takes A Lot Of Time To Put Eyeshadow On. She's A Woman Who Has Style, But It's All About Functionality - She Grabs Stuff From Her Closet.
