That flub and the ensuing media hysteria inspired her to write Permission Slips: Every Woman's Guide to Giving Herself a Break. The comedian, who also stars in the new Lifetime sitcom Sherri, dished to TIME about how the incident played out, why women are too hard on themselves and the difficulties of being a working single mother...

While much of her early work was marked by a distinct realist style, as she aged, her work became increasingly abstract. With this in mind...

We like that Mercedes’ dad is a dentist, but having her announce “I may be a strong, proud black woman but I’m a lot more than that” does nothing in actuality to flesh the character out. Regardless of communities or boundaries, though, surely we can agree that Drizzle is a terrible baby name...
