It was Natasha Leggero, Jen Kirkman, Sarah Colonna, all these very smart, powerful, wonderful women and I saw them and I just thought, “they know who they are and they are confident and they have opinions, and I want to feel that way.” And I was talking to Natasha after the show and she mentioned “Pretty Funny Women,” which is Lisa Sundstedt’s company, she’s been doing it for 20 years now, and it’s an all female class, empowering women, teaching them how to be stand ups, teaching them that it’s okay to be hot, sexy, pretty and funny at the same time.

As their friendship develops, Raven is forced to face the possibility that her interest in Morgan might actually be attraction and that she might be gay. Until she meets Morgan O'Shea and finds herself inexplicably drawn to her. But she was always too afraid to examine what that might mean. She's never really been interested in boys. Seventeen-year-old Raven Walker has never had a boyfriend.
