Nicole Avant - “The Six Triple Eight,” Healing from Loss in “Think You’ll Be Happy” | The Daily Show

Acclaimed producer and best-selling author Nicole Avant talks to Desi Lydic about the true story behind the Netflix movie “The Six Triple Eight” of an all-Black, all-female battalion that contributed to a victory in WWII and describes what she learned about the Coast Guard in her former role as Ambassador to the Bahamas. She also discusses her book “Think You’ll Be Happy,” which tells the story of her grief and path to healing after the tragic loss of her mother, and how her mother’s last words to her serve as both the title of the book and her mantra in life. #DailyShow #NicoleAvant #memoir
