Author Minda Harts said that stars like Issa Rae inspire her as she steps into Hollywood.
Harts, whose debut novel was recently adapted into a short film, said that networking is key to her success.
That book led to a short film adaptation, an upcoming psychological thriller about the workplace starring "The Proud Family" actor Kyla Pratt as Harts.
Like Rae, Harts wants to diversify her portfolio.
If we all can ask ourselves that in every part of the production process, then I think we'll have a more equitable Hollywood," Harts said.
