Lena Waithe is an Emmy award winning writer, actor, producer, force for change and incredible Hollywood BOSS!

In this episode of Ask Jillian we discuss the amazing projects she's involved in, including The Chi which has become one of my favorites with so many incredible moments and characters. She tells us how she watched Good Day LA's national show in Chicago and was a huge fan, such an honor for me! We also talk about her Master of None episode Thanksgiving that was inspired by her life, Twenties, Queen & Slim, her other projects and her favorite shows. Plus the exciting Netflix film The Forty-Year-Old Version that premieres this Friday 10/9. I can't wait to watch it!

Lena is so incredible and we had so many things to talk about that we had to split it into two episodes, so here's Part 1!
