[4][7] Nee conceived of her award-winning series, Doc McStuffins while in the shower after her son had visited the doctor for asthma a few days before.

It was her idea to make the lead character female and she readily agreed when Nancy Kanter, the creative head of Disney Junior, suggested that she should be African-American.

[7] Although some at Disney were hesitant originally that a show with a female lead "might not have mass appeal," this did not deter Kanter, and within a year of the series' premiere in 2012, "merchandise generated about $500 million in sales."

[8] The series, which featured many of the same staff who worked on Doc McStuffins, premiered on October 1, 2017, and ended on June 28, 2021 after 3 seasons and 75 episodes during its 4-year run.

[9] On July 4, 2021, a 10-part series of animated music videos, which Nee created, titled We the People, premiered on Netflix.
