What are we are gonna do about it?"
In March 2017, she posted a video on her own YouTube channelexplaining exactly why she left.
In an interview withLithiummagazine, she revealed that Lucille Ball is her biggest inspiration.
That wasn’t the first time Nygaard talked about her idol.
Inone episode ofLadylike, Nygaard got a makeover to be “transformed” into Ball.
It’s obvious how much influence Ball’s career has had on Nygaard’s own.
That friend invited her to Los Angeles one summer to make another web series.
She wanted to go back to Chicago (where she grew up) to get involved with theater.
However, that obviously didn’t happen.
Nygaard got an internship in LA, which eventually led her to BuzzFeed.
She added, “I love the YouTube audience.
I love the power you have [in] being an independent content creator.”
One of the reasons for that is that she loves interacting with her audience and fans.
She said, “My audience is amazing and I love them so much.
They’re so positive!
If they’re telling me something, I usually listen.”

because of her skin color.
That didn’t stop her from getting things done, though.
Before I started working at BuzzFeed, all my knowledge was just sort of piece-meal.
One notable role was when she played the lead female character, Abigail Williams,inThe Crucible.
Another was when she played one of the leads, Maggie, inCat On A Hot Tin Roof.
Both plays received glowing reviews inThe Stanford Daily, the university’s newspaper.
Her previous work as a play actor has clearly influenced Nygaard when it comes to creating content for YouTube.
