Finding Happy is a dramedy following the Black female experience through the unfulfilled life of Yaz Carter, beginning with her unhappy 36th birthday. The show features Yaz's loving-but-complicated family, her stagnant career in the evolving landscape of radio, and a merry-go-round of unrequited love while dating in the love desert of Atlanta. Finding Happy reveals over time that true happiness can only be found within.
Yaz is dreading her 36th birthday; she's anything but happy. An unrequited love life, unmet personal and professional goals, topped off by an unwanted surprise birthday party lead to a public meltdown. Bottoming out, she determines to change her life, head to foot. A reunion with an old friend (and former flame) turns out to be more than just a random encounter.
