Hollywood powerhouse Tracy Oliver sums up her career simply. "When people go right, I always tend to go left." She wrote the hit 2017 film Girls Trip, becoming the first Black woman to pen a movie that grossed over $100 million at the box office. On today s episode of The Limits, Tracy tells Jay how she has navigated her biggest Hollywood successes, from an eight-figure deal with Apple, to creating and executive producing the Amazon series, Harlem. Tracy credits a lot of her wins to her contrarian streak, which she s had from a young age. She tells Jay how she randomly started wearing a Stanford sweatshirt while growing up in South Carolina–then ended up attending. That s where Tracy met Issa Rae, and the two began collaborating.

So just create the thing and don t wait."Alongside his

The former power forward constantly found ways to evolve the game to outsmart new competitors and, in his words, "provide a new offering."In his post-game career, he s used that mindset to build the cannabis company Viola, which sells high-quality forms of marijuana. But Viola s mission isn t solely to sell product. Instead, Al wants to ensure that Viola gives Black and brown entrepreneurs significant opportunity in the legal, multi-billion dollar cannabis industry. Al recognizes how decades of the American War on Drugs have ravaged Black and brown communities with disproportionate mass incarceration rates for marijuana-related offenses.
