About this listen

Award-winning screenwriter and funny person Lena Waithe takes us back to her fast food-filled childhood in the South Side of Chicago. We’ll hear about what it was like to live in a house with three generations of women and about her grandmother’s dining table, which plays a big part in an award-winning episode that Lena wrote for Master of None. Plus, we hear why chicken and dumplings is the ultimate comfort meal.

Lena Waithe is a comedian, actor, writer, and screenwriter. She was the first Black woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for her Thanksgiving episode of Netflix’s Master of None. She created The Chi, which she currently produces.
