It's important that people know that this is how you came to the character. It wasn't like it was decided that you would have these locks or that you would wear this particular style. Erica Alexander was wearing this style. And that's Max's style.

No.

No.

Oh, they gave her across the street from the girl. She's too strong to be in the house with everybody, but you were always there with us, which is also part of the story, part of the joke.

And we hadn't seen someone like her either. We had not. Who was strong in her sexuality, strong in her blackness, clear in, I mean, we've seen versions of it, no doubt. No doubt. And of course, Cecily Tyson and hair. Hello. But this mix of things in a sitcom, I think feels very new.

Why is it heavy?

Oh, they do.

Oh, they do.

Because I am a person who lives from the space of childlike wonder, which is why I keep coming to, there are people who have said to me, oh my God, you're just like Sinclair. And I go, I hope that's a good thing. Because I know that there are people who think that she's dumb. It is a good thing. Just like they think that you were whatever you were. And you're richer and deeper than that.

People tell me, did you know that was Family Matters? I wasn't thinking about it. I was just like, is this where the sofa is? Is that where the door is? Great, let me just do it. It's not until later that we look back and we go, wow, we were using someone else's set until the show got picked up and we got our family.

It's all on fire. And it felt good right away. I felt it. It did. We can brag now. We can. We didn't know then. I knew in my soul. You knew? Oh, I knew. Oh, I knew. Because as I've talked about before, I had come off of another show that did not have this chemistry. So if I got to a place where I felt, oh, collaboration, oh, these people all seem to really like each other.
