Representation was the first step. Now, Lena Waithe pushes the conversation further—toward ownership, impact, and legacy. In a cultural moment where hard-won progress feels fragile, she challenges us to ask: what will we leave behind, and how will our voices shape the future? Waithe makes the case that raising the stakes in our storytelling is not just important, it is essential for survival in times of division and erasure.
