Just like every other Donald Glover fan, I was ecstatic whenever I heard that his show, “Atlanta” was finally premiering, because we have been waiting to see his show since we first heard about it (for me it was in 2014).

I wondered what the show would be like, if his character would be loosely based off himself and the things he went through, like Roseanne Barr did with her show, or if it would be just another character, who was from the same place as Donald is.

As more and more information came out about the show over the next two years, I minimally thought about how the characters would be portrayed. Even though I knew Donald Glover would be one of the executive producers of the show, meaning he would have majority of the final say of each episode, and he would write some of the episodes, who the rest of the writers were never occurred to me.

It wasn’t until I saw a commercial for “Queen Sugar” a new show that Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey created and ultimately got picked up on OWN, that I thought about how the characters in “Atlanta” would be portrayed.

Ava DuVernay is known for being a part of extraordinary movies that propel the careers of women in the entertainment industry, whether they are writers, producers, directors or actors, DuVernay is a force to be reckoned with.

Donald Glover took a page out of DuVernay's book and employed a team of all black writers for his new show "Atlanta".

Thank you Donald Glover for showing people how black people actually act, because for many this is the only time they see people who look like them being written by people who look like them. So add Donald Glover to the list of people who employ black writers to write for black actors.

Not only is it important for people of color to have positive representation in the media, it all goes down to how accurately we are being portrayed. A part of that accurate portrayal comes with our actions.

Unlike “Orange Is The New Black”, whose writers room is filled with white women who are trying to think of how black people would act, “Atlanta” is filled with black writers who know how black people think, act and things they would say.

The response to “Atlanta” has been great and it definitely is a show I will be tuned in to watching every Wednesday night at 9 p.m.
