In fact, the skills she's picked up from working in Hollywood sound well suited for being a politician. In October, Waithe spoke with Variety about the anniversary of the Time's Up and the future of the movement. He wrote, "I love Lena Waithe in Hollywood, but I'm thinking a White House could be in her future." If the star does run for office, it will be down the road. In the meantime, Waithe is busy changing the world of the television. In the interview with GMA, she spoke about representation in Hollywood and how there's still a long way to go as far as inclusivity. That wasn't to shade anyone that won, I don't want to take away from anybody's moment," she said. "But I also feel like it's not enough just to nominate us, have us come, be there, make the red carpet dope, and be a part of the opening number. It would be exciting to get to vote Waithe into office, but she's still able to inspire societal change as a creator in the entertainment industry, where she continues to push the dial in the right direction.
