Lena Waithe spent her childhood watching classic '90s sitcoms, dreaming of one day becoming a writer — and she made it happen! The Hollywood powerhouse made history as the first Black woman to win an Emmy for comedy writing for "Master of None" and is the creator of several shows, including "The Chi."

The Emmy-winning writer, actor, producer, and podcast host shares with Sophia the invaluable advice she got in college that set her on the path to success, the writers that influenced her, what it was like when she first got to L.A. without any connections, embracing the things that make you different, and her advice to aspiring writers.

Plus, Lena reveals what inspired her new podcast, Legacy Talk (distributed by Lemonada Media), why she got into the publishing game, and all the details on her company’s first ever children’s book “What I Must Tell the World: How Lorraine Hansberry Found Her Voice” — out now!
