celebrations. We all claim it fiercely and remind each other that this is not just something we should be doing in February, but all year round. We share stories we were taught in school and then dig up unknown heroes that don’t get enough mention or attention.is like an oil check to remind us all that we were here and made a change. Not that we need to be reminded of that.
As I reflect on Black History Month, my mind started thinking about history in general. History is a living, breathing thing that is made simply by the passing seconds. That extremely hard run that I did on the Peloton this morning? It’s already history. Every day we all get up and make history. Every single act is a piece of history.
So that’s what makes what I get to do every single day even more amazing. I’ve realized just how lucky I am. I’ve been working as a television writer and producer for a long time. And every day I have the privilege of waking up and making TV that celebrates who we are and what we have. I have had the honor of working on shows such as “Girlfriends,” “House of Lies,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Star” and “.
So for me, black history is keeping that as my North Star. It’s about pushing our stories forward, saying something surprising and maybe even a little naughty sometimes. It’s about being as honest as possible on the page. It’s about telling stories about the best of us and delving into characters that might feel like the worst of us because that’s what real humanity is. It’s about showing that we are complex and complicated because that’s where good characters live … in the murky grey of life.
