Abstract

My article takes a closer look at the show Insecure starting off with the history of Black female stereotypes, then grounded the stereotypes in modern context of the show itself. I then look at The Black Identity Development Framework as it relates to the show’s characters. I also do a closer look at industry factors that have kept Black people away from the highest ranks in the television industry including the “unwritten rules” keeping Black people out of the writers room and showrunner job. I then get into the evolution of the characters in the show including rapping on the show and finally share my analysis, recommendations, and interventions.
