Any time I watch an episode of Insecure, I laugh myself to tears while thinking, "Someone gets me." Season three is no exception. It marks a major turning point for Issa (Issa Rae) when she decides to take a step back from those around her and work on figuring herself out. As a young black woman in the early stages of my career and coming into my own, I understand the worries and fears Issa is facing in her endeavours to develop her profession while striving to maintain self-confidence and self-love.
Of course, those are issues that everyone deals with. But when you see someone with whom you can identify navigating their way through such problems, it's much easier to put yourself in their shoes and convince yourself that you can overcome anything, just like them. Issa and Molly (Yvonne Orji) have been through some serious mess. But at the end of the day, they carry on like the strong black women they are, and that's what they've inspired me to do.
