The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl (often simply referred to as Awkward Black Girl) is an American comedy web series created by and starring Issa Rae.[1][2] It premiered on a dedicated YouTube channel on February 3, 2011.[3] The show follows the life of J as she interacts with co-workers and love interests who place her in uncomfortable situations.[2] The story is told through first-person narrative as J usually reveals how she feels about her circumstances through voice-over or dream sequence.
Critics have praised Awkward Black Girl for its witty humor and unique, realistic portrayal of African-American women. The New York Times critic Jon Caramica describes the show as “full of sharp, pointillist humor that’s extremely refreshing.”[4] The series won a Shorty Award for Best Web Series in 2012.[5]
In 2016, the series was adapted into the HBO series Insecure, which ended in 2021.
