Transcript
00:00Girl, Shonda Rhimes is developing your book, Do Better, The Manual, I'm Judging You, into
00:09a TV show.
00:09Now, what can you tell us about the show and the characters that are on it?
00:14So right now, we are in the development stage.
00:16So I'm creating the world.
00:18That would be the show.
00:19So it's going to revolve around a character that is loosely based on me.
00:23It's not all the way me, but it's close.
00:26So, and yeah, just all the random shenanigans she gets into.
00:31Are we going to get into some Niger lingo on the show?
00:33Niger de Kerrio?
00:34Are we going to get into that?
00:36Yes.
00:37Like, she will be a Nigerian girl.
00:40Absolutely.
00:40So she will have some Nigerian slangs.
00:44Yeah.
00:45Now, how involved are you, you know, working with such a powerhouse like Shonda?
00:49How involved are you in the process of creating this TV show?
00:52I am very involved.
00:54Shondaland, trust my voice, and they want me to create the characters.
00:58They want me to create the world.
00:59They really want to make sure that it's true to my voice.
01:04So that's been great.
