Damn I wish this could've been an hour long conversation. Overall excellent interview. Lena is incredible. She's definitely on her way to legendary status. 💯
that is beautifl! bc my teachers tried to tell me it was bad that I wrote how I spoke. 10 years later national spoken word artist with a book out and 2 music projects! go black girls go!
Lena Headey on Game of Thrones (Cersei) is the shit! Let's claim her too. I acknowledge Lena Dunham but boy can she shove her whole damn foot into her mouth. Both feet. The leg up to the hip.
LENA IS TRULY AMAZING....i had the honor of meeting her out here in LA. I'm from Chicago as well, and I went to Columbia College, and although I'm from the westside, I love what she is doing for the southside, because its different yet the same. Our city is beautiful and the people are amazing and talented. but it gets over shadowed by the shootings, which happen and is unfortunate. I LOVE LENA!!!!
me too. it was very well written and I appreciated getting her perspective. I don't think we've ever gotten the black lesbian "coming out" experience on a show
love ‘master of none’, her character in it & especially that hilarious thanksgiving episode. 😂 ‘the chi’ is off to a GREAT start, that pilot episode definitely has me wanting more! go her. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I've never heard of Lena until her Emmy win. So after watching The Chi (which is awesome so far) and this interview I am diggin her. She just gained a new supporter.
I love seeing all the positive comments about this phenomenal woman! Im shook! In a trump-era its like a sip of lemonade on a hot day to see all these black women winning! Love it!
I absolutely love her... and I’ve only just known about her since The Chi premiered. Didn’t realize she’s had her hand in everything that I love. Dear white people, The Chi, I’ve just started Master of none... she was even on the most recent episode of This Is Us. She has made me a legit fan. This was an awesome interview.
Much respect Lena, you sent a powerful message and I hope people realize what she said, no matter what color, sexual preference, we all need to see someone like us on TV to inspire us to go forth with our dream One of the breakfast clubs best interviews!!
I’ve never heard of this show or her but this interview makes me like her and watch her ! So talented and smart and we both grew up in Chicago - She’s dope
I am obsessed with this woman! She is gorgeous, articulate, intelligent, and confident. I'm definitely looking forward to following her career and influence. God Bless and God Keep her.
Lena Waithe, brilliant mind! The Thanksgiving episode in Master of None was so dope and relatable. I felt seen. Thank you for being you and telling our story. Blessings & love! 🫶🏾
I love the music, the awkward attraction between Brandon and the bosses' wife, the puppy love, and the characters! Looking forward to seeing more of THE CHI!
I love her, like the way she speaks. Especially being gay and when she says she was looking for herself when she watched television. That was so powerful
Any female artist that gets out of Chicago with her creative success, you have to give props to.. Get it sis! Congrats🙌🏽✨
SAHI THEBRAND ikr definitely 👏🏾
So much talent in this city its ridiculous. We give up too soon tho.
I know the heart beat of the city because I fall asleep to it everynight.
That's a bar.
I love the Chi. Great show to go with Insecure Atlanta and Power.
Ghost is a GOAT but goddamn someone teach that man the dangers of pussy obsession.
Her show is HORRIBLE
Got some great series selections there

Intellectual Black King i want to be on the chi🎬📄💖👑 to be love interest💖☄ of jacob latimore🙏💝📿
I think she's dope, can't wait to see more from her.
Damn I wish this could've been an hour long conversation. Overall excellent interview. Lena is incredible. She's definitely on her way to legendary status. 💯
I literally just uttered the words “she looks exactly like me, so I can do it too” ❤️
that is beautifl! bc my teachers tried to tell me it was bad that I wrote how I spoke. 10 years later national spoken word artist with a book out and 2 music projects! go black girls go!
Zai Sadler congrats

Megan Robinson that's not a real school shorty😭
Quam'e Shabazz um duh, I know that. I graduate from a real HBCU.

The only Lena we acknowledge
Lena Dunham of girls show and any other Lena you know
Let’s not forget the amazing and late Ms . Lena Horne
Sidney Williams lol yes Sidney I was just about to say
In addition to Lena Horne and Lena Luthor.
Lena Headey on Game of Thrones (Cersei) is the shit! Let's claim her too.
I acknowledge Lena Dunham but boy can she shove her whole damn foot into her mouth. Both feet. The leg up to the hip.
I can listen to her speak all day. She is AMAZING! Super talented and just all around dope!
