“I am such a massive fan of theirs and the fact that they would come all the way out from New York to L.A. “Shows like ‘Insecure’ and ‘Atlanta’ are really pushing the envelope and making people question why don’t we have more shows like this on TV for Black women, Black men and the Black community,” he said.Ĭrissle West and Fran Medina, hosts of the “Insecuritea” podcast, emceed the live festival and welcomed Rae and Orji to the stage to introduce a sneak peek screening of the Season 5 premiere episode. Reflecting on both the legacy of this event and the show that it celebrates, Ellis emphasized the importance of Black storytelling. “This idea of bringing together the Black community and tapping into Black-owned businesses and having this opportunity to celebrate together - especially a show like ‘Insecure,’ was really important to us and special,” she added. The party also marked the first live-event for HBO’s Scene in Black initiative, launched in September. “And seeing all of the support and love from the community off the bat from season one made us realize we were doing something right by this event.” “The event has definitely gotten bigger since we started,” Gagne explained. WarnerMedia’s senior VP of multicultural marketing Jackie Gagne spoke to Variety about the evolution of Insecure Fest over the years.
