A lot of times in comedy, and also in podcasting and television, there are different kinds of voices that can be celebrated. So you can have ‘Insecure’ exist, you can have a ‘2 Dope Queens’ exist, you can have ‘The Mindy Project’ exist – very distinct, funny voices from women and from people of color.

There are just so many brilliant voices out there. I’m not the funniest person out there, I’m not the best interviewer. I’m not the best at anything, but I really just am a big fan of everyone. I’m really driven by trying to make sure that representation is out there. Phoebe Robinson Read Quote

I started watching ‘Daria’ when I was in college because I didn’t have cable growing up. It’s such a smart show with a different type of female character. Phoebe Robinson Read Quote
