Issa Rae: Insecure isn’t made “for dudes” or “white people”

  • Even though men have latched on to the Lawrence character, Rae is insistent on not catering to the audience it wasn’t intended for. “In creating and writing the show, this is not for dudes,” she says. “It's not for white people. It's the show that I imagined for my family and friends. That's what I think of when I'm writing the scenes.” PLUS: Frank Ocean references  are hidden throughout Insecure, and #LawrenceHive is the male answer to the #BeyHive.
