This is one of the interviews I did on June 21, 2022, when I participated in the Alzheimer’s fundraiser “The Longest Day”. This was also the second to last one, so I’m a little punchy and the audio is a bit sketchy. I have trouble with her name, because my brain had completely forgotten how she said to pronounce it. Additionally, while we did the lightning round questions, the audio didn’t capture it so I couldn’t include it.

Josephine Green Zhang is a storyteller who aspires to empower characters to rise above their circumstances and create their own happy endings – with a special focus on misfits and flawed, funny women. Josephine has been a tv writer on Season 2 of Hulu’s Dollface and on Seasons 2 and 3 of First Wives Club on BET+. She has also developed an unproduced, animated action kung-fu fantasy for Netflix and written two unproduced feature films for Universal.
