“Comedy 100% changes things,” says Kenya Barris, the creator and star of Netflix’s #blackAF. He is discussing whether the art of laughter can bring about a meaningful societal shift in light …

says having a diversity of shows in the conversation is a positive step and “takes the load off your shoulders” as the only Black show. “Growing up as sketch comedy nerds, we would watch, where maybe there was one Black person, and we’d be watching that person and rooting for that person,” she says. “So, for there to be multiple shows coming out around the same time as ours, that was really awesome. I’m hoping that having multiple shows with different vibes and energy will become the norm.

Thede recently told a story about the time she had written a spec script for NBC single-camera comedy. “My agent didn’t submit it to the showrunner,” she said. “And he told me months later, ‘The spec is good, but it wasn’t a diversity position, so I didn’t send it.’”“I don’t think we can change people’s hearts, but I do think that we can wake people up to their biases,” Thede, who was also the first Black woman to write for a late-night talk show on, adds.
