Tell us how your very first webisode of Awkward Black Girl came about?
"I wanted to create a web series in the vein of The Office and 30 Rock with people of color and so I called up my friends, and voila."

How much of your series has been scripted? How much has been improvisation?
"About 90% is scripted and 10% is improv."

Congrats on your deal to bring I Hate L.A. Dudes to network TV! What was your first reaction to hearing that it had been picked up by ABC?
"Thank you! I had just landed back in L.A. and turned on my phone. I listened to a voicemail from Betsy and Rachel (Shondaland Executives) telling me to call them back because they had 'good news.' My fingers were shaking calling them back and when they told me, I wanted to scream, but had to contain it because I was still on the plane. It was the most exciting news EVER. Containing it in that claustrophobic plane was torture."
