INSECURE
The time has come. One of my favorite shows of all time is coming to an end. The final season of INSECURE (trailer here) premieres on HBO Max this Sunday. This show truly holds a special place in my heart. As an awkward Black girl myself, I fell in love with Issa Rae while watching her web series "Awkward Black Girl" and followed her career when the first season of Insecure debuted in 2016. It's easy enough to say the brilliance of this series lies in the fact that it’s hilarious (it is) or because it broke the mold (it did). But, the reason I talk incessantly about INSECURE is that it’s so specific—thus making it universally relatable. This show doesn't shy away from the awkwardness, the heartbreak, or the laugh-so-hard-you-start-to-cry moments that shape all of our lives. At its center, it's a group of young Black women living in LA. They navigate friendships and relationships with the added obstacle of each of them being in a different stage of their lives. I truly see myself in each member of our core cast: Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany. This beloved comedy will be truly missed after this last season, but don't worry, if you're like me you’ll always be able to revisit Season 3's "High-like" episode every time you think of Coachella season ;)
