This morning I saw on Facebook (where I stole the photo above) that Cydney Kelley won a Daytime Emmy last night as one of the writers on Days of Our Lives.
I met writer Cydney in either 2003 or 2004 in the first or second year of my decade living in Cedar Falls, Iowa. She lived in Santa Monica and made occasional trips back home to see her parents and friends.
She spent many years as a writer’s assistant including work on The Game that was shot in Atlanta, and where she worked with Kenya Barris who would go on to create Black-ish.
Congrats Cydney.
