Lena Waithe of ‘Master of None’ made Emmy history as well when she became the first black woman to win an Emmy for writing a comedy series. “The things that make us differen, those are our superpowers…The world would not be as beautiful as it is without us in it.” I couldn’t agree more.

#LenaWaithe just became the first black woman to win an #Emmy for writing in a comedy series. She took the stage with #MasterofNone creator #AzizAnsari, who co-wrote the “Thanksgiving” episode for which they received the trophy, and he stood off to the side as she delivered an assertive, impassioned speech about the power of difference and the importance of her “LGBTQIA family.” To a swelling round of applause, Waithe said, “I see each and every one of you. The things that make us different, those are our superpowers.”
