'la-la-la-love.'
And to hammer this point home, Ross herself said in a statement,"With the brilliant, sweet and sarcastic black girl magic that is Jodie Landon, we will feature a diverse cast, comprised mainly of unapologetically smart and ambitious young female characters who are vulnerable and flawed and interesting and funny."Not only that, but Ross added that"themes of gender and racial empowerment, along with exploring issues of privilege through humor" would be a big focus of the show.
Even cooler? The show —which will be the first adult animated series in almost 20 years to star a Black female lead — will be headed up by writer and co-producer Grace Nkenge Edwards. So expect the writing to be just as sharp as the original.
