00:00This material resonates with me not only because I'm a girl dad, but because I'm a father of not only
00:07a girl, but a boy and a non-binary kid.
00:10This story resonates with me because I, myself, am an outsider.
00:14I grew up with a severe learning disability.
00:17I was an obese teenager transplanted from Detroit, Michigan, to Orange County, California, and I never felt like I fit
00:22in.
00:23I think what we see in Carrie is we see ourselves, for those of us who've always felt on the
00:29outside looking in, see ourselves represented.
00:32And it's the story of this incredibly powerful and happy and buoyant and hopeful young woman who steps into this
00:43vicious world of bullying.
00:45And I just, I feel, as I'm watching those episodes, I feel seen and I feel connected to her journey.
00:56And also because, you know, having, being father of a queer kid, you're like, all you want to do is
01:03protect that kid and allow them to rise up out of the moment they're in high school and let them
01:09be themselves as they get past this, this gauntlet called high school in America.
