HBO picks up two new Issa Rae shows — bisexual black man dating comedy, 'Him Or Her' & affluent Windsor Hills black teen drama

HBO is not only developing one new series from Issa Rae....but two!

“The premium cabler has picked up two new shows, the comedy, Him Or Her, and the drama, Sweet Life. Both are a part of the first-look deal she signed with the network in 2016. ‘Him or Her’ is EP’d by Rae and former The Daily Show writer, Travon Free.  It’s description: “The single-camera half-hour chronicles the dating life of a bisexual black man and the distinctly different worlds and relationships he finds himself in.” If we’re correct, this may be the first television show to focus on a black, LGBT male since Noah’s Arc.   Set in the Black Beverly Hills of Windsor Hills, ‘Sweet Life’ is a coming of age tale of the well-heeled teens growing up in the LA neighborhood. Co-created by Rae and Raamla Mohamed, the duo will pen the one-hour drama.”

I honestly hope that Diddy succeeds. Approximately 68% of NFL players are black, yet no black majority owners? It’s time.

People don’t understand that when you grow up poor, you don’t have access to anything. My father, when his gallbladder was bothering him and he had an infection, he had to get up, walk three miles to the hospital in 12 degree weather. Got to the hospital to sit for another five hours, before the doctor said, “You gotta go home. You look like you’re a drug addict.” He leaves the hospital, he walks three miles back home, he sits for another three days, before gangrene starts setting in. Then he walks back to the hospital and they finally admitted him.

If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can’t just wait to see what kind of day you’ll have. You have to decide what kind of day you’ll have.
