She's so beautiful and angelic. Everything about her makes me so happy. (: Season 3 can't get here fast enough. I wouldn't mind the online series to come back either.

Sharing the same vision is so important.

That question about a white mentor she would have never said that to another group of people. That was disgusting to the black community!

Tell Issa Rae, I wasn't man enough for her, but I tried!
