8. ‘Insecure’ Is Diverse On and Off the Screen

When HBO handed the keys over to Issa Rae and Prentice Penny, they gave her unprecedented control to determine the course of the series. As a result, Rae and Penny set about finding the most talented people to tell their story. That involved recruiting an incredibly diverse group of people, some of whom had to be drafted into TV work. Frequent series director Melina Matsoukas was a crazy popular music video director (Beyonce, Rihanna, etc.) before Rae got her a job directing Insecure. Matsoukas, has gone on to direct episodes of Master of None, as well.
