Dr. Nikita T. Hamilton did her PhD dissertation on representations of Black women in Hollywood, and then promptly decided she'd rather be making TV than teaching about it. So she started over as an assistant. After working on a few shows she's starting to figure out how this world works, but she still has plenty of questions and we get to join her quest for answers. In this season we explore all the different jobs in Hollywood, what they entail, how you get them, what sort of hierarchy exists between them, and how to survive it all.
