Lena Waithe on Her Rainbow Flag Cape

[Liza] How you doin ?

I m well, how are you?

I m fantastic now that you re here.

You re tiny, you re like on a little step.

I know, you wanna know my real height, boom.

Oh, my God, you re like Kevin Hart.

(laughing)

What s goin on? You look amazing.

This is your first Met, this outfit, I gotta know.

I gotta know, tell me.

Well, in my Emmy speech I mentioned, you know,

puttin on imaginary capes,

tonight this cape is not imaginary, it s rainbow-colored.

And we got the black and brown, you know.

I m reppin my community, and I want everybody to know

that you can be whoever you are,

and be completely proud, and be doin it, so.

And wear the damn cape.

Yo, let s do it. Dang right.

Let s not be afraid of who we are.

[Liza] Rock that cape, take care.
