The thirty minute television series full name is: “How to Make Love to a Black Woman (Who May Be Working Through Some Sh*t). Helping Waithe with this project is Casallina “Cathy” Kisakye, creator and writer.“Cathy’s script is haunting, funny, and extremely vulnerable – it’s the kind of script that doesn’t come around very often. I’m honored that Cathy trusts me with such a special project. I can’t wait for the world to see it.” says Waithe. Kisakye also served as the writer for Showtime series The Chi. “How to Make Love to a Black Woman” will consist of a “collection of characters in an authentic world, telling stories about connection and rejection that explore our most harrowing – and harrowingly comic – sexual secrets.” says Waithe.
