On this episode of Family Meal, I sat down with Grasie Mercedes @grasiemercedesand we dished about way more than food. A podcast host herself  on @notblankenoughpod Grasie also acts, writes, and directs her own projects. She pulled back the curtain on what goes down in a writers room (she was on staff for Perfect Harmony), how being the oldest in her family shaped her, and the importance of having faith in yourself even if you don't feel "ready yet or qualified enough". Grasie also discussed the importance of representation on and off screen and how that preps the future generations for believing in themselves.
