Screenwriter Malarie Howard ”Always trust your voice, even if other people don’t get it.”

Malarie Howard is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and musician who grew up as the only Black girl in various WASPY communities, listening to Christian screamo rock, singing opera, and writing fan-fiction. She graduated from Silicon Valley’s Santa Clara University, where she majored in “not engineering like she should have.”  These days, she's working on the CW show "In The Dark". She's also the creator of the dark comedy SPIRALING, which is inspired by her experiences of managing her mental health while working in the tech industry. She tells us about how her mother inspired her love for writing, why she needed to follow her Hollywood dreams.
