Real as F**k

The show Insecure, was based off Issa Rae's Youtube channel series, The Awkward Black Girl it follows the life of J as she interacts with her co-workers and love interests who place her in uncomfortable situations. Later Issa Rae's show was elected to take a positive and insightful opportunity by HBO and naming the series, Insecure.The show offers a different way into the conversations about sex, race, and culture that TV is trying to constantly have. It's primary strength is its confidence but it is exploring social and racial issues that relate to the contemporary black experience through two black female main characters that are best friends Molly and Issa. They are both in their late 20's, living in Los Angeles California, with career and relationships that are being challenged. Issa works for a non-profit organization that benefits middle schoolers of color, and Molly is a corporate attorney.

The first season opens up with Molly, being on of the only black women working at her jobs, the show really captures the tension with a dozen jokes and uncomfortable moments. At one moment, a white co-worker of Issa's proposes  having the program's teens clean up the garbage on the beach, almost "chain-gang style," as a way of helping out the community. Issa soon fantasizes about shaking her co-worker with rage, but she is struggling to construct alternatives for her reaction. Later, at the beach her co-worker asks, "Why so many African American children aren't swimming." Issa replies in a impassive way, "Slavery," 

She uses sarcasm using big awkward pauses and social interactions to prove the idea that black people can be summed up as one universal cultural experience.
