“Sleep and I do not have a good relationship. We have never been good friends. I am constantly chasing sleep and then pushing it away. A good night's sleep is my white whale. Like Ahab, I am also a total drama queen about it. I love to talk about how little sleep I get. I brag about it, as if it is a true indication of how hard I work.” IfsLittlesHardNightSleepWhiteDramaQueensPushingGood FriendChasingIndicationWhalesGood NightBragGood RelationshipPushing ItAhab Author:Amy Poehler

“As a writer I'm committed to exploring what I call "The invisible things" - the things that people aren't talking about. I think that's where the juiciest conversations and the juiciest drama lives. My goal with the series is to get people talking about and reflecting on how issues of race play out in their own lives. Since I've spent a fair amount of time watching time travel shows and movies where the leads are White (and can blend in really easily no matter the time period) I thought I would turn that on its head and see what might happen.” PeopleThinkingMatterPlayShowsMightHappensTurnsGoalWhiteRaceTalkingIssuesAmountPeriodsDramaConversationFairsSeriesCommittedInvisibleTime TravelExploringReflectingPeople TalkingTime PeriodsInvisible ThingsDrama Life Author:Steven C.
