Hi Everyone!

RUN OUT AND BUY THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF ESSENCE! The same guy who wrote the piece in Wall Street Journal did a piece in Essence. It is a 6 page “Special Feature”. It also features 4 sisters in interracial relationships big photos of them and all. This is just fabulous!

I love the scene when they walk into the restraunt and they get the stares and even the brotha with his arm around his white girlfriend was looking at them crooked. This show is great!!!

I am a new fan! Love it!

Issa is great and so, so smart. The revolution is here and she's wearing a tweeny weeny afro!

This was too hiilarious!!! Can not wait until 9/8/2011

I was wondering if her and white jay were together in real life, they have really good chemistry on screen :)

can't wait for September to get here! I will be on the edge of my seat until then. Love the characters and I'm definitely rooting for J and J.

Hi Everyone,

Just a blast from the past. The original Tom & Helen Willis. Scene where George Jefferson first meets them.

I discovered her show thanks to this blog and its honestly the funniest thing ive seen in years and so relateable!!! I like all the characters. I think the girl who plays her best friend is also super funny. Im a bit depressed right now, think I will rewatch all the episodes to make me feel better. How can anyone not be in a good mood after watching this show?! It really is perfection.

"I reached out to Issa last week and ran her down for an interview. Actually, I laid down in the street in front of her car until she would talk to me. So as not to create more of a scene, she graciously agreed to an interview monitored by bodyguards and Secret Service agents but it didn’t feel at all uncomfortable."

Haha Christelyn you seriously kill me! This is my first time watching Awkward Black Girl and it had me literally laughing out loud.

Thank you for the info. Love the series

Just wanted to add that I have been instant messaging with a guy that I met through a support site for people who have social anxiety. He's white. He happened to message me one day after finding my messenger info on the site. He's in an interracial relationship with a black woman, and they have been together for a while. One of the first things I told him about was the ABG series. He watched some of the first episode one time when we were chatting, and one of the first things that he said is that Issa is pretty. And I agree, she's definitely pretty and has a great smile.

I loveeee her. Waait what did she say about white jay? I couldnt understand her at the end. She the audience, "something " about white jay? Can someone please explain if you heard thta part.

Thanks! lol

love love love this show. Hilarious. I so identify with the main character J.

@Nkosazana

She has to choose Fred to keep the series going. There is more comedy in a bad decision :-)

This show is my favorite comedy ANYWHERE right now! Can't wait to see how this love triangle plays out!

Uhuh I love this but now I'm worried that she will end up with Fred. The guy who dissed her for that other women. White Jay is better for her.

I'm a fan, too. Love the script, love the pacing, love her. I hope her film efforts get some attention from a studio, and I hope her dating efforts get her a lot of personal attention.

I followed a link to one of the episodes and I am a complete fan! The show is seriously witty, the production value awesome and so is the talent. I have no idea of the backgrounds of the crew and cast but the quality is professional all the way around.
