Yeah, I was just like, oh, I hope the show works. I don't know how I'm going to pay this light bills $3,000. I go back and look at those things and go on. look at where you were. I'd come through being homeless. So I was writing it from the point of view of where I was and not where I was going. Understanding where you're going is so much more important.

OK, so you started at what age do you think? 18 or 19. I was watching the show and I started journaling and I didn't use my name because at that time we wouldn't talk about the things that you and I just talked about. Right, right. I would use these different characters and a friend of mine found them and goes, man, this is a really good play. And I thought, hmm, maybe it is a play.

What I write about is this character went through this. I was talking about adult survivors of child abuse and rape and molestation. So I moved to Atlanta. Prior to that, did you ever fancy being a writer?

I definitely wanted to be an architect. The man that raised me was a builder and I wanted to build houses. But when I wrote this, I always loved entertainment, but I never thought you can audition. You're trying to be invisible, not center stage. Yeah. So having my friend encourage me and doing that first play and seeing people, the 1,200 that I thought would show up and only 30 did. Yeah.

Having the 30 people's reaction to the show speak to me in my soul, I was like, whoa. So that sparked something for me.
