Screenwriter and producer Mara Brock Akil knew what was like to feel invisible. In 1999 she looked around Hollywood and saw an extinction underway: Black women, and their stories, being written out of primetime TV. At the time, the then 30-year-old was putting the finishing touches on her first network show, a sitcom for UPN called Girlfriends. A new millennium was on the horizon, and she wasn’t going to let the future begin without Black women front and centre.
