So excited to share my rich and nuanced convo with Attica and Tembi Locke. I discovered this dynamic sister duo after devouring their Netflix limited series, FROM SCRATCH, starring Zoe Saldana. Once my tear ducts could no longer produce any more tears, I immediately had to find out who was behind this beautiful show.\xa0

Tembi is a New York Times best-selling author, TV producer, actor, and screenwriter. Her memoir,\xa0From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home, is a 2019 Reese\u2019s Book Club pick and NYT bestseller. Alongside Hello Sunshine, Tembi and Attica adapted the book as a limited series for Netflix, which trended in the top 10 globally in 84 countries for weeks on end following its October 2022 release.

Attica is an award-winning screenwriter, TV producer, and novelist. She recently co-created and served as showrunner on\xa0From Scratch. Other screen credits include\xa0Little Fires Everywhere, When They See Us, and\xa0Empire. Locke is also NY-Times best-selling author of five novels:\xa0Heaven, My Home; Bluebird, Bluebird; Pleasantville; The Cutting Season;\xa0and\xa0Black Water Rising.

They are delightful humans, astute creators and I can\u2019t wait to watch their star continue to rise!
