How is she inspiring? She's a White wannabe who writes characters that say they wish to be White & says "EWW" to India (The Mindy Show)? That's pretty pathetic to be ashamed of your own heritage culture.

Putting yourself out there is the best part of shaping your future. You're gonna get knocked down. So what? You're gonna have things go well. Big deal. You're gonna start something for a good reason and have it turn out bad. You gonna start something on shaky footing and have it re-define your understanding of what you're capable of, far beyond your ability to dream. This goes for men & women. It always has but for some reason, we've always given the biggest platform to liars. Those days are gone! #TimesUp

I just came back from doing a commencement speech myself. Yes me. I did it at Dunkin Doughnuts. My speech started with .... I will have a dozen doughnuts (4 glazed, 2 chocolate, and six frosted), I will also have a hot Latte. My speech inspired the employees there to get me what I wanted which made me very powerful and made me a director of their actions. I hope I get nominated for that directorial effort and I hope the employees that helped me get nominated for best supporting actresses. It was an honor. Thank you.

She’s retired now. But damn I wish I was there during this.
