Kendra Jo and Yazmine Coleman, Co-Creators of "Finding Happy" on Bounce (Video)
Let's face it. Getting older is hard, and from what I've been told, it's even harder if you're a woman. Your biological clock is ticking, you mom is wondering why she doesn't have grandkids yet, and everyoneseems to have an opinion on who you bring home. This is Yaz's story as well, and on the new Bounce comedy series Finding Happy we get to see her take it all on, while we laugh along the way. For this special edition of our Behind the Scenes in Hollywood podcast I had the pleasure of speaking two of the show's co-creators, Yazmine Coleman and showrunner Kendra Jo.
We spoke about the Black female experience, life in our mid-thirties, and the dangers of keeping it too real on social media. "It's just weird, like you have a moment, somebody records it, and you can't even figure out what that moment really was for you without first worrying about what everybody else has to say," Coleman says. "And that kinda sucks, like, all together."
New episodes of Finding Happypremiere every Saturday at 8 p.m. on Bounce.
