'I want to make myself proud. I think that's something I've always struggled with,' says awkwafina at Marie Claire's Power Trip.
"When we're in charge of our own stories, amazing things happen," she tells Allison Glock."Writer. Musician. Actor. Producer. Baller." That's how journalist Allison Glock introduces Awkwafina at Marie Claire's 2019 Power Trip, a two-day networking conference designed to celebrate, inspire, and bring together influential women.
She explains, for example, that she's learned a great deal from both executive producing and starring inexpected to hit Comedy Central in 2020. Hiring her own writer's room was an intense learning experience:"There really is this belief that, oh, we want [diverse and women writers], but they're not out there. What I learned was: They're out there!" She learned, however, why they weren't making it to the writer's rooms.
Along with her co-executive producers in this project, Awkwafina cast BD Wong as her father, Lori Tan Chinn as her grandmother, and Bowen Yang as her live-in cousin. Her real-life family are bursting with pride these days, she says. So, asks Glock, who does Awkwafina want to make proud now?"I want to make myself proud," she says frankly."I think that's something I've always struggled with."
