In 1993, Living Single premiered on Fox, and its creator, Yvette Lee Bowser, made history as the first woman of her background to create, run, and produce her own primetime series. She got her start as an unpaid intern on A Different World, working her way up to staff writer and producer before creating her own show entirely. Looking back, she said, "When it happened, I wasn't even aware that it hadn't been achieved before. But it's a source of pride, for sure, to have broken a glass ceiling. What a privilege." Sometimes history gets made quietly, by someone who was just focused on doing great work.
