Klappentext Inside the TV Drama That Defied Expectations and Became a National Phenomenon 'I'm a Black woman casting my own show. I wanted their world to look like the world that I live in.

Knight household names, and injected words and phrases into the cultural lexicon like 'McDreamy,' and 'you're my person.'
