Lena Waithe's career has been on 🔥 since she won an Emmy in 2017 for Netflix's 'Master of None.' She's the creator of Showtime's 'The Chi,' which just got renewed for a third season, and co-creator of BET's 'Boomerang,' which just got renewed for a second, and wrote a film called 'Queen & Slim' starring Daniel Kaluuya that premieres in November.
