Terri currently stars on season 2 of Ava DuVernay’s Cherish The Day, BET’s First Wives Club and BounceTV’s Johnson. HBO’s groundbreaking series Insecure, spun off Terri’s poignant character Rose Cranberry and her fictional investigative show, Looking For LaToya, into a scripted podcast series for Raedio and TenderfootTV. After winning 2 Webby Awards, HBO and Issa Rae brought Terri back as Rose Cranberry for another podcast spin-off, We Stay Looking, which also won a 2022 Webby for best scripted fiction podcast.

"We've had great heartwarming, slice of life comedies directed from the perspectives of Rob Reiner, Judd Apatow, Nancy Meyer and the like. It's time we add a new perspective into the mix - comedic, relatable stories directed from a black woman's view point. We need that. ”
