This week, we are revisiting our episode with Dani Fernandez who has been making waves lately with her nuanced and thoughtful posts and interviews about the writer and actor strikes. Dani is an LA based writer and actress that we adore. She wrote in the best-selling book The Good Immigrant USA and has hosted for E! News, Nerdist, CW, and Disney. She can be seen in animated form, playing herself, in Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet. Learn how Dani is making the nerd space more welcoming for people of color, and how she delights us with her bold tweets centered on mental health and representation.

More about our guest: Dani Fernandez recently appeared in multiple episodes of Syfy's “The Great Debate" and wrote on the upcoming CW show "The Girls on the Bus”, The Netflix show "Incarnate", as well as the HBO Max show “MORE”. She also sold a half-hour comedy pilot based on her life, "1% Happy" to HBO Max. In January she hosted the first annual Critics Choice Super Awards on the CW.
