From Issa’s Inglewood apartment at the now-iconic Dunes to Pann’s Restaurant, a diner that’s been serving L.A. for over 60 years, ‘Insecure’ told the stories of Angelenos — specifically Black Angelenos — in a way that highlighted their neighborhoods, their lives, and their version of Los Angeles with a voice that felt entirely its own.
Now, nearly a decade after its 2016 debut, @issarae and showrunner @the_a_prentice are launching ‘Blocc Party’, a weekly podcast produced by @hooraemedia , that revisits behind-the-scenes moments and explores the show’s lasting influence on culture, storytelling, and Los Angeles itself.
If you’ve ever lived in L.A. — or just felt seen by how Insecure portrayed it — this is the kind of rewatch conversation worth tuning into. + Follow @secret.losangeles for more stories shaping the city’s culture. #culture #popculture #mysecretla

There were so many good memories to go to Nairobi for @mz_money_penny birthday. @angamasafari SET US OUT! Thank you to @jonathanstravels who is the best travel agent IN THE WORLD for arranging this fabulous trip. Our guide @safari_guide_ken took such good care of us and more importantly made sure we got back safe every day!
