Reporter’s Sketchbook: Lena Waithe stays humble while doing cool shit

A dispatch from the actor/writer/producer’s February 13 visit to the UW-Madison campus.

Lena Waithe spoke to a packed room of hundreds on Tuesday, February 13 at Union South on the UW-Madison campus. In a keynote presented by UW-Madison’s Black Cultural Center, she dialogued with students about working as a TV writer and producer as queer, Black woman.
