There's a scene in season three of Insecure where protagonist Issa Dee is making donor follow-up calls for her white savior nonprofit when she says, "I can't do this anymore." Since graduating college, she's field organized for an education program for kids of color where she's the only Black employee and now she's been relegated to desk duty after her white boss questions her judgement. Issa quits her job on the spot with no plan but a deep knowledge she's stuck and can't figure out what she really needs in life if she stays. It's one of the first moments on the show when she deliberately makes a change instead of self-sabotaging into one. I was rewatching the series in preparation for the final season this October when I saw this scene and thought, "Oh shit."
