Issa also talks about the long lag time between the viral success of Awkward Black Girl in 2011 and her TV show, revealing she’d already been developing Insecure (without knowing if it would ever air) for two years by the time it did get picked up in 2015.
“That time was so frustrating because I had been working on the show for years,” she says, “and it just felt like the constant pressure of ‘your time is up, your time is now—so when’s it going to pop?’”
