How To Journal Your Productive Year
At the end of 2017 I did a long Twitter thread about goal setting and how I set up my journal for a productive year. As you all know, I always have 100 things going on, so making task lists for myself and working backwards to achieve my goals has been a GAME CHANGER for me. I got lots of requests to make a video of my process so here it is!
Of course one of my big goals is for Well, That Escalated Quickly to be on the NY Times best seller list! Check out how I plan to get there along with my tips and tricks for planning your productive year!
Ilana Glazer Loves WTEQ!
When I first met Ilana Glazer (@ilanusglazer), I knew she was something special. #BroadCity is such a hilarious, smart and important show. Being a part of season one is something I’ll forever be proud of. I feel very lucky to call Ilana a friend and am absolutely geeked that she read #WTEQ and gave it such a glowing review!

Issa Rae Loves WTEQ!
Oh snap! More #WTEQ blurbs?! Issa Rae (@issarae) is truly the definition of #BlackGirlMagic from forging her own incredible path in media to always being her truest awkward self. She’s a perfect example of what happens when talent, humility and hard work combine. And despite her monumental glo up, Issa is the exact same person she was when I first had the pleasure of meeting her back in 2012.
Thanks Issa for being such a great friend, sharing such kind words about my book and paving the way for awkward black girls everywhere! Swipe through below to see some adorable #tbt photos of Issa and I throughout the years along with a few familiar faces.

Larry Wilmore Loves WTEQ!
Larry Wilmore gave me my first tv writing job. Every day at #TheNightlyShow brought more learnings than I ever could’ve imagined. Larry’s the brains behind some of the smartest and funniest shows on television including Insecure, Black ish and The Bernie Mac Show. With a resume like that, having him in my corner as a friend and mentor is still pretty surreal. Thanks Larry (@ldub61) for showing me and #WTEQ so much love!
