She Got Problems

She Got Problems: A Q&A with Alison McDonald

Social Commentary post by Ashley Jean on July 10, 2012 - 1:50pm; tagged Alison McDonald, She Got Problems, web series.
Alison McDonald merges comedy, female heroines, and the single black experience in the webisodes “She Got Problems” and “Alison is Having Really Bad Day.” Her videos, which are "trailers" for a complete series, portray the strong black female protagonist that is largely absent from pop culture. Currently studying with the hilarious Upright Citizens Brigade and boasting an impressive résumé (writer for Everybody Hates Chris, Nurse Jackie, American Dad!, a Fulbright Scholar, and graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and Columbia University), McDonald not only writes and directs, but also acts and can without a doubt carry a tune.
