“It’s my first time here guys. It is a nice room, I like it. This is for all of the women, all of the women of color, and colorful people, whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always, considered worthy and valid and important, but I want you to know that I see you. We see you. It is an honor to be on this show, ‘Black-ish’, to continue expanding to continue expanding the way we are seen and known, and to show the magic and the beauty and the sameness of a story and stories that are outside of where the industry usually looks.
