Insecure may have come to a close, but please know the Insecure writers are out here WRITING. Many of whom will have projects out in 2022 and beyond...
A thread.
Y’all, it’s his first time riding the bus and mom is a wreck, but his bus mates told his mom (in Spanish) anyone mess with him and they’re getting handled. Little man got some homies for life right there. 🥹
All jokes aside, what Hollywood will see in the next few days are Chris and Will protecting each other in front of the press because as Black men, especially creatives, we exist in a white environment where we can’t afford to be portrayed as aggressive or unhinged.

. Insecure Alum Kindsey Young also writes on the show. 🙌🏾 The first two episodes are out now and episode 3 airs Jan 4th.
The hair journey Issa and Molly have been on over the years is a story in itself. I love how unintentionally intentional this show is. Everything decision truly matters. A masterclass in television.

is the Showrunner/EP behind Jodie, the Daria Spin-off. Slated to premiere by 2023. I love this for Jodie. I love this for us! ❤️🍾🍾🥂
I’m doing this because when your favorite show ends, it doesn’t mean that everyone who worked on the show ends with it. If you enjoyed the work, chances are you’ll enjoy what those writers make in the future. This is meant to highlight those talented folks. ❤️🙏🏾

I watched “Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show” years ago, thinking just wait, that’s gonna be me. To watch it again now, as a new Showrunner is absolutely wild.
My kids are just gonna have to be homeschooled because if I’m losing it from a video I can’t imagine the actually day when I have to do this. I’d have to follow the bus and sit in the parking lot till school let out. 😭
Such an honor and so incredibly proud to be able to say that I was a writer on the ground breaking show that is Insecure. I’m not crying, you’re crying!! 🥺❤️

Keke Palmer just seems like one of the realest people in entertainment. 😂
Is there a sign that y’all don’t fw like that? I’m a Leo and idk if I have one. 🤔 I generally like everyone until you give me a reason not to. 🤷🏾♂️
Constant creative output is work. It is mentally and emotionally tiring. Our profession takes skill and many yrs of transforming life experience, pain, & trauma into digestible entertaining whimsical, comedic and(or) suspenseful content. That shit ain’t easy. PAY. US.

The answer Issa gives during the panel was so real. You don’t have to have it all figured it and it’s ok to realize that and adjust. Life is a journey of self discovery. Go discover yourselves, my niggas. 🖤
