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 -

Why tf do dumb people feel the need to say she wants to be a man when she is, to me, obviously proud of being a black female who happens to be attracted to females. If she wanted to be a man then she could always transition but other than that I’m happy she made a show about growing up in Chicago because my city and it’s people are beautiful 💯

“When people dehumanize us (black people) they become desensitized to our deaths.” “There’s this element that says ‘He was a good kid.’ So does that make his life more valid than the one that was running the streets?… All of our lives are valid and they’re worthy.” Lena Waithe This hits home in a lived experience way. I appreciate you 🫶🏾🙏🏾
