“ Creating Alice was less about finding a disorder that I found interesting and more about trying every day to understand this urgent person who was presenting herself on the page to me, and who scared me, and inspired me, and made me laugh.

“ We really wanted to open a dialogue in families and communities of color in particular. So we really are committed in our show going forward through Season 2 to continuing that dialogue and really effecting real change in all our communities, but especially in those communities of color.” |
