Lena Waithe

Welcome to #LisaDurden’s #BlackHistoryMonthMoment; Lena Waithe, born May 17, 1984, made history at the 2017 #Emmys becoming the first black woman to win the award for ‘Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series,’ for co-writing the “#Thanksgiving” episode of #Netflix series #MasterOfNone. That episode was partially based on her personal experience coming out to her mother. #LenaWaithe is also the creative force behind the #Showtime series #TheChi. #ClapForThat!!
