"I always said I've worked my whole life for this moment being able to work on a project where I love the subject matter so much, being such a huge [Los Angeles] Lakers fan."

Brenda also noted  that the role arrived at the perfect time in her life since she "was actually at such a crossroads just feeling like, 'I just had two kids,'"asking herself, "Just feeling like, ‘Where do I fit in this industry?'"

The acting sensation also stated that working under the creative vision of Mindy Kaling and alongside Kate Hudson has clearly provided her with a supportive environment to thrive.
