I didn't have a brown-skinned superhero growing up who wore cornrows and who reflected the inner city where I come from in Philadelphia.

Growing up, I'd watch 'The Cosby Show' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air;' I'd look at the little brown girls and be inspired by them.

I cannot get away from 'Streets,' like, no matter what I do! That was my very first professional job.

Ultimately, my goal is to inspire little brown girls that look like me, that are sitting on the porch wearing cornrows.

Whether you're working in corporate America or you're a journalist, construction worker, a teacher or an actor - we're all trying to keep working. If one job is ending, you look for another job. When 'Psych' ends, I will be looking for another job.

August Wilson is the one writer that writes about men like my father, who had a fifth grade education, who was a janitor at McDonald's.

Growing up, my education about Test cricket came from dad's video of the 1981 Ashes series - and Ian Botham's incredible match at Headingley.

The last thing that should happen is funding cut for education; it should be increased. We need to put more money towards education, and anything else is abusive.
