Sooo I absolutely love Lena Waithe and her ability to explain her art with such authenticity. You can tell she is so true to herself and not trying to be anything other then herself. I believe in her dream to make timeless shows. Keep pushing forward Lena and know you have fans that appreciate you and your work!

I think this was an amazing interview. Very intellectual and educational. I loved the depth of the characters on the Chi that Lena explains so eloquently. Thank you for making an incredible piece of work. Please continue to make this amazing show for all to enjoy. The characters are so real and relatable in every city. "it's not my job to be perfect, it's my job to be broken and write through it" Lena Waithe -
