Watch Issa Rae pitch her concept for a '90210' or 'Gossip Girl' for black teens

When you think about it, there is a lack of representation in shows targeting teenagers.

Issa Rae gave us the concept we never knew we needed in this feature with The New Yorker. 

The publication asked the creators behind Insecure, Broad CityCrazy Ex-Girlfriend and Hood Adjacent to pitch their television fantasies for new shows.

In the clip that has now gone viral on social media, she lays out, bullet point by bullet point, what a black version of Beverly Hills, 90210 or Gossip Girl could look like.

Title suggestions? She says Ladera Heights 90041Windsor Hills 90043, or Potomac Maryland 20854.
