Lena Waithe on Manifesting The Chi, Embracing "All That You Are" | Logically Speaking Ep. 6

Logic welcomes his friend and Emmy award winning actress, producer and writer Lena Waithe to the podcast. Known for her multitude of roles (Master of None, Ready Player One, Westworld, etc.) and writing/production credits (Queen & Slim, The Chi, Dear White People, etc.), Logic and Lena speak on their journeys into creativity, manifesting success, and then “making it” in the industry.
The two share their experiences learning how to be comfortable in their own skin, first time smoking, dealing with anxiety and derealization, finding confidence with being themselves, getting starstruck by Oprah and the RZA, how to make lasting relationships in Hollywood, vanity on social media, finding our worth through the work, and much more.

i thought this was Hov

[@Kngsman]

First?

[@legend53beast63]

Dude every time he asks one of his “canned” questions to his quests, he gives them one sentence to respond and then goes in about himself and flexes, etc etc. he’s so irritating.

[@sdscudder94]

Lol then stop watching if it's so irritating

[@legend53beast63]

@@sdscudder94 it’s about time! Another thing… he forces his guests to follow HIS script. Bobby Lee literally could not be himself because Logic kept c***blocking his jokes.

[@legend53beast63]

@@sdscudder94 and honestly I watch it to witness more of the train wreck that Logic is. He’s so insecure and lacks self awareness.

[@sdscudder94]

Lol and it's people like you why he hesitates doing things like this. You say hes a train wreck like you know him personally and im sure you dont. Sure hes not perfect and dont act like you are. . Let him do his thing and keep your negative ass out of it🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ many of us including myself have enjoyed these episodes. If you don't, thats your opinion. Don't have to be a hater because that's all you are doing.

[@legend53beast63]

@@sdscudder94 yeah you and “many” others who don’t mind shallow content from an egomaniac with a fragile ego.

[@JoseZuniga-dh9qv]

Man! If Logic were to ever in these series of podcasts decides to choose a day 1 fan….mam sign me up fam! I would love to one have these convos with someone like Logic or better yet someone like Bobby fuck the fame shit just a conversation with this man💯🤞🏼🫡
