Talk Nerdy To Me: Watching 'The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl"

So I FINALLY have gotten around to seeing The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl, the award-winning web-series made by the lovely Issa Rae.  I have watched exactly six minutes so far and already have cracked up twice in recognition. (I can't help being a nerd, y'all!) According to Wikipedia:

"Issa Rae was inspired to create The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl in January 2009 while working at New Federal Theatre in New York City.  Experiencing difficulty in meeting people in an unfamiliar place, Issa Rae decided that it would be entertaining to depict uncomfortable scenarios one may experience when dealing with others....

 Neglecting the idea for 2 years, Issa Rae's interest was renewed after reading an article by Leslie Pitterson pointing out the absence of black female nerd characters on screen. She then called on friends to shoot the first episode. The series went viral through word of mouth, blog posts, social media and media coverage. In an effort to fund the rest of the season, Issa Rae and producer, Tracy Oliver decided to raise money for the series through Kickstarter^. On August 11, 2011 they were awarded $56,269 from 1,960 donations. Due to the popularity of the series, Issa Rae has been interviewed by Fredrick Whitfield for CNN Newsroom, Michel Martin for Tell Me More, Associated Press and other media outlets."

I am delighted, and although I'm late to the bandwagon, I'm looking forward to seeing what Ms. Rae comes up with.  As an ex D&D master, (if you know what that is, you cannot laugh because you know what that is...) I am pretty excited to see a brown woman protagonist as geeky as I am. Official review will be pending (o' course), but in the meantime, feel free to check it out with me! Original site HERE
