Over the past few years, she has received critical acclaim for films such as the indie film Cheer Up the Girls (2018), which earned her the New York Film Critics Award for Best Actress. This year’s Sundance Film Festival screened her films The Master and Signal for Jesus Save Your Soul.

Wanda Sykes is the creator and writer of the Netflix series We’re Upshaw. In addition, she starred in the television series The New Adventures of Old Christine, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Black Comedy.
