Prentice Penny Instagram - Hella Over. ❤️🥲 The way #insecurehbo changed my life is too incredible to sum up in a post. All I can say is I’m so thankful and grateful to my sister @issarae for trusting me with her baby. All of my love and gratitude for the other third of #3thehardway @msmelina. To my OG’s @yvonneorji @jayrellis making this little bitty show in Inglewood back in 2015 none of us had any idea, but we all fell in love with with each other immediately. To the backbones of the show @msdeniese and @jonathanberry100 I can’t thank you enough for welcoming me into the fold. Thank you to Casey and @nortivarg for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this amazing show. Thank you to @jimkleverweis who made this happen every day - literally. To all my writers, directors, cast and crew that ever worked on the show, I truly appreciate every thing you poured into it. To my amazing wife @mz_money_penny and my three children I can’t thank you enough for understanding and being patient through all of the sacrifices. I can only hope one day you look back proudly that your husband and father tried to do something positive for the culture. And to the culture, just know everything I did was because I love you. Thank you and good night.

Prentice Penny Instagram - OH MY GOD! I can’t believe we’ve been married 20 YEARS ago TODAY. I can’t believe I tricked @mz_money_penny to marry me. I remember when her father said we had to be at least married 10
Years to justify the cost of the wedding and now we’ve doubled that. I feel like he owes us a bonus. But I’ve been blessed to have an amazing partner all this time. We were so young. We were so naive. In none of these pictures are the arguments, the fights, the whoopings we have the kids, the arguing on the planes on who’s sitting with who, the “you said you were making dinner” nitpicking. I guess because when you look back those things become fun too. God knew what he was doing blessing you with me and I pray I’ve lived up to it. My grandmother told me the secret to being married. She said the “only way to get to 50 years, is to get to 50 years”. This shit is a marathon! And you don’t get there without bruises and scrapes. Anyone who’s been married this long and more knows that to be true as hell. Low key I feel like it took me 20 years just to figure this shit out. Lol. So don’t trip @mz_money_penny - the next 20 I’m gonna act right. I’m a pro now. Love you!

Prentice Penny Instagram - NEW HOME ALERT - I’m so excited to begin a new journey with everyone at @disney and the #onyxcollective.

Prentice Penny Instagram - 8 NOMINATIONS 4 @insecurehbo !!! Feel so blessed and thankful today. Five years ago @issarae @msmelina @jayrellis @yvonneorji @jonathanberry100 and I embarked on making this show and to be here today is amazing. So many people to thank: Everyone at @hbo, 3 arts (Dave Becky and Michael Rotenberg), @jimkleverweis , our amazing cast/crew/ writers/directors of all 4 years and most importantly THE CULTURE for riding with us day 1. This nom for me isn’t about validating me or the show. It’s about OUR ART being viewed as the same which is all our ancestors wanted. To be human. This validates my wife for supporting me day 1. My mom for supporting me day 1. My friends for being in my shitty films but believing in me nonetheless. Win, lose or draw we all got EMMY NOMINATED by our names for life! #insecurehbo
Prentice Penny Instagram - I just want to wish @mz_money_penny a VERY HAPPY 17th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. The top pic was taken in 1990 when we were 16/15 and had just met. I thought she was #poison #bigbuttandasmile and fell in love then. I told my boy @ren_car1 “she’s special. She could be the one” And here we are 30 years later (Below) celebrating Emmy night together. Three kids later.  She believed I’d be a writer/director 30 years ago and here’s the proof. I love you so much @mz_money_penny - to the moon and back baby. Let’s get it.
Prentice Penny Instagram - YOOOOOOOO!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!! In one weekend you guys made this little small movie about black men and people of color in the world of wine - not only the #1 movie in the US but the #4 most watched PROGRAM on ALL of Netflix in the US!! I’m beyond moved to tears. Sooo many people told me this movie wouldn’t work. Thank you to those who made this happen. The list is so long and I am thankful to all of you. Let this be a lesson to everyone to trust your gut even when everything around you says otherwise. Stay safe everyone. I love you. I’m gonna go cry in a corner some more. 😭😂
Prentice Penny Instagram - It’s been a week since you’ve passed and it’s still unbelievable hard and sad. A man who could fill the room just by walking in it. I spent a lot of time not wanting to be like you, only to become and embrace so much of it. We had a complicated relationship, but there was so much love. My father was the perfect definition of not a perfect man, but a GOOD man. He was the first person to tell me “Man, if you wasn’t my son, I would really like you.” He’d say it all the time and as kid I didn’t really get that. But as I got older the gravity of that stays with me at 47. Those that knew him, knew you’d always get a good meal and a good story. If you ever like anything about me, I got it all from this man. He taught me how to dress, be humble, be a businessman, be loving, entertain, he was the funniest and coolest people on the planet. Hell, I made a whole ass movie about our relationship. I can’t believe you’re gone, man. And let me return the favor, “Even if you weren’t my dad, I’d like you, too.” Tell your loved ones you love them while they’re here. I didn’t enough, but the truth is, there’s probably never enough. Love you, Dad.

But as I got older the gravity of that stays with me at 47. Those that knew him, knew you’d always get a good meal and a good story. If you ever like anything about me, I got it all from this man. He taught me how to dress, be humble, be a businessman, be loving, entertain, he was the funniest and coolest people on the planet. Hell, I made a whole ass movie about our relationship. I can’t believe you’re gone, man. And let me return the favor, “Even if you weren’t my dad, I’d like you, too.” Tell your loved ones you love them while they’re here. I didn’t enough, but the truth is, there’s probably never enough. Love you, Dad.
Prentice Penny Instagram - SUPER EXCITED FOR THE OFFICIAL KEY ART FOR #UncorkedMovie Dropping today @netflix @netflixfilm #march27 #sxsw2020 THIS MOVIE LIKE MANY BEFORE IT: The Farewell, The Photograph, is just about people of color being human. It’s about our beauty not our burden. It’s for everyone but it’s important Black men and fathers see other images of themselves than what’s normally portrayed on screen: Black fathers being present.

Prentice Penny Instagram - So excited and honored to be on @variety top 500 people in media alongside my partner @issarae and my attorney @johnvmeigsjr - You don’t get here alone. So many people have taught me so much and I’m INCREDIBLY thankful to and for everyone who had my back. A special thanks to my incredible wife @mz_money_penny who believed in me day one and my three wonderful children who always understand when daddy has to work. A special thanks to the culture for always being down!! See you all in 2022. @apfythoughts
Prentice Penny Instagram - SO EXCITED to join the team in bringing @jerrycraft INCREDIBLE graphic novel to the screen for @universalpictures with everyone at @thespringhillco. When I was looking for writers I didn’t have to go far in wanting to work with someone who I’ve had the pleasure of working with for two seasons on @insecurehbo in @eliwilsonpelton — We very rarely get to do a graphic novel that’s fun, innovative and deals with issues our culture wrestles with. Thank you to everyone in all camps to help make this happen.
Prentice Penny Instagram - SO EXCITED TO BRANCH OUT INTO LATE NIGHT WITH THE GENIUS OF MY HOMIE @samjaycomic - When we first started talking about what the show could be, I knew day one “I fux with her”. AND THANK YOU TO @hbo CASEY AND NINA FOR PICKING IT STRAIGHT TO SERIES FOR 2021. NOTHING OR NO ONE IS OFF LIMITS. WE COMING.

Prentice Penny Instagram - Turning the Big 5-0. Can’t believe it. I got to celebrate half a century in the birthplace of civilization. More importantly, I got to celebrate it with my wife, kids and family and friends who’ve been there from the start. This year has been incredibly trying health wise (3 hospitalizations) and work wise (2 union strikes). I had big plans coming into 50 and life said “Fuck yo couch”, but it also opened up opportunities for God to show me what to truly be grateful for. These people. This trip. I used to let anxiety fuel me to be great. I no longer want that. I want peace to fuel that. That is the promise I made to myself for the next 50 years. I got to celebrate 20 years of marriage to my wife on this trip and @mz_money_penny has been the biggest blessing in my life along with my children. I got to see all the beauty and technology black people created and will never be the same. Ever. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and want nothing but blessings for all of you. I’m at a peace I’ve wanted for many years.

Prentice Penny Instagram - 4 years ago to the date, I started writing a movie in Paris. A father/son story about a black man who studies wine. So many moments made me want to give up over that time. So many people and places said no. But I learned it’s not God saying no, it’s Him saying “Do you want it fast or do you want it right?” I had to learn how to direct again by watching people like @msmelina @mclumpsum. By being inspired by people who follow their own truth like @issarae - It wasn’t easy and still isn’t. But to sit here 4 years later in the vineyards of Chablis making the movie in the very place that inspired it, I can only say “Won’t He Do It.” I wouldn’t EVEN be here without most importantly @mz_money_penny who holds errrything down, but also @chrisp1363 @datariturner @skimansteamboat @renbenzo @argentpictures @wineauxdlynnp @johnvmeigsjr @dcwade1 @ashleynhlnd @lifeofmeyash @teek715 @roseynickel @bakedliam and @netflix #uncorked2019 Thank you to everyone who ever did anything nice for me. You didn’t have to and I’m forever grateful. Nite.
Prentice Penny Instagram - Can’t wait for you all to see Black Twitter: A Peoples History on @hulu on May 9. The power was never in the platform. It was always in US. Pull up and see what me and @onyxcollective put together. At a time when they are erasing our history, it’s paramount we TELL IT ALL.
Prentice Penny Instagram - So proud of my son and his stop motion skills at 11. He’s in his bag @starwars — get in early. Him talking to me HOW he made this was so inspiring. He said how he “chroma” keyed out the green screen sticks and how he built everything. At 11. So proud of Benjamin.
Prentice Penny Instagram - Sorry to disturb, but my first foray into documentary filmmaking is picking up Emmy consideration and was one of the most special experiences of my career. 

Making BLACK TWITTER: A PEOPLE’S HISTORY was an honor and privilege. All three parts are streaming now on Hulu! If you all could post this on your socials I’d greatly appreciate it. If not, I get it. But I won’t forget. I will NEVER forget. LOL. Love y’all!  Vote for this bih

And most importantly THE CULTURE OF BLACK TWITTER! And if i forgot anyone, I say: “And I, oops!”
Prentice Penny Instagram - In front of my first tv show. Don't even have the words.
Prentice Penny Instagram - You’ve probably heard or read these phrases somewhere: “Oscars So White,” “Me Too,” “Say Her Name,” “Black Girl Magic,” “Black Lives Matter.” They’ve all become part of the national lexicon. What you may not know, or have forgotten, is that they originated on an area of social media that included smart, informed reactions from Black celebrities, authors, journalists and just about anyone with a voice. It was called Black Twitter.

Now that Twitter is called X and has lost its luster (plus many of its users), former “Insecure” showrunner Prentice Penny and Wired writer Jason Parham have teamed up as executive producers to document those times in Hulu’s three-part docuseries “Black Twitter: A People’s History.” Like a time capsule of sorts, the series looks back at what it meant to those coining phrases and having discussions in 140 characters or less. For Penny, it’s the first project in a deal with Hulu’s Onyx Collective brand, and a whole new direction for him.

“It was really wanting something, a few things,” Penny says: “One, it was me wanting whatever I did next not to be compared to ‘Insecure.’ I felt I had just done something really special and kind of hit a peak of a mountain, and I didn’t want whatever I did next to actually be like, ‘Oh, well, that’s not “Insecure.”’ And I also wanted to break creatively. I’ve been doing scripted television, specifically in the half-hour space, since [2004]. So I’d been doing it at that point for 17 years. And I want to be scared again. And that’s how ‘Insecure’ made me feel. It made me feel creatively inspired again. And I wanted whatever I did next to come from that place.”

Prentice Penny - 11.8K Likes - Hella Over. ❤️🥲 The way #insecurehbo changed my life is too incredible to sum up in a post. All I can say is I’m so thankful and grateful to my sister @issarae for trusting me with her baby. All of my love and gratitude for the other third of #3thehardway @msmelina. To my OG’s @yvonneorji @jayrellis making this little bitty show in Inglewood back in 2015 none of us had any idea, but we all fell in love with with each other immediately. To the backbones of the show @msdeniese and @jonathanberry100 I can’t thank you enough for welcoming me into the fold. Thank you to Casey and @nortivarg for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this amazing show. Thank you to @jimkleverweis who made this happen every day - literally. To all my writers, directors, cast and crew that ever worked on the show, I truly appreciate every thing you poured into it. To my amazing wife @mz_money_penny and my three children I can’t thank you enough for understanding and being patient through all of the sacrifices. I can only hope one day you look back proudly that your husband and father tried to do something positive for the culture. And to the culture, just know everything I did was because I love you. Thank you and good night.

Prentice Penny - 7.2K Likes - OH MY GOD! I can’t believe we’ve been married 20 YEARS ago TODAY. I can’t believe I tricked @mz_money_penny to marry me. I remember when her father said we had to be at least married 10
Years to justify the cost of the wedding and now we’ve doubled that. I feel like he owes us a bonus. But I’ve been blessed to have an amazing partner all this time. We were so young. We were so naive. In none of these pictures are the arguments, the fights, the whoopings we have the kids, the arguing on the planes on who’s sitting with who, the “you said you were making dinner” nitpicking. I guess because when you look back those things become fun too. God knew what he was doing blessing you with me and I pray I’ve lived up to it. My grandmother told me the secret to being married. She said the “only way to get to 50 years, is to get to 50 years”. This shit is a marathon! And you don’t get there without bruises and scrapes. Anyone who’s been married this long and more knows that to be true as hell. Low key I feel like it took me 20 years just to figure this shit out. Lol. So don’t trip @mz_money_penny - the next 20 I’m gonna act right. I’m a pro now. Love you!

She said the “only way to get to 50 years, is to get to 50 years”. This shit is a marathon! And you don’t get there without bruises and scrapes. Anyone who’s been married this long and more knows that to be true as hell. Low key I feel like it took me 20 years just to figure this shit out. Lol. So don’t trip @mz_money_penny – the next 20 I’m gonna act right. I’m a pro now. Love you!

Prentice Penny - 5.5K Likes - 8 NOMINATIONS 4 @insecurehbo !!! Feel so blessed and thankful today. Five years ago @issarae @msmelina @jayrellis @yvonneorji @jonathanberry100 and I embarked on making this show and to be here today is amazing. So many people to thank: Everyone at @hbo, 3 arts (Dave Becky and Michael Rotenberg), @jimkleverweis , our amazing cast/crew/ writers/directors of all 4 years and most importantly THE CULTURE for riding with us day 1. This nom for me isn’t about validating me or the show. It’s about OUR ART being viewed as the same which is all our ancestors wanted. To be human. This validates my wife for supporting me day 1. My mom for supporting me day 1. My friends for being in my shitty films but believing in me nonetheless. Win, lose or draw we all got EMMY NOMINATED by our names for life! #insecurehbo

Prentice Penny - 5.4K Likes - I just want to wish @mz_money_penny a VERY HAPPY 17th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. The top pic was taken in 1990 when we were 16/15 and had just met. I thought she was #poison #bigbuttandasmile and fell in love then. I told my boy @ren_car1 “she’s special. She could be the one” And here we are 30 years later (Below) celebrating Emmy night together. Three kids later.  She believed I’d be a writer/director 30 years ago and here’s the proof. I love you so much @mz_money_penny - to the moon and back baby. Let’s get it.

Prentice Penny - 4.6K Likes - It’s been a week since you’ve passed and it’s still unbelievable hard and sad. A man who could fill the room just by walking in it. I spent a lot of time not wanting to be like you, only to become and embrace so much of it. We had a complicated relationship, but there was so much love. My father was the perfect definition of not a perfect man, but a GOOD man. He was the first person to tell me “Man, if you wasn’t my son, I would really like you.” He’d say it all the time and as kid I didn’t really get that. But as I got older the gravity of that stays with me at 47. Those that knew him, knew you’d always get a good meal and a good story. If you ever like anything about me, I got it all from this man. He taught me how to dress, be humble, be a businessman, be loving, entertain, he was the funniest and coolest people on the planet. Hell, I made a whole ass movie about our relationship. I can’t believe you’re gone, man. And let me return the favor, “Even if you weren’t my dad, I’d like you, too.” Tell your loved ones you love them while they’re here. I didn’t enough, but the truth is, there’s probably never enough. Love you, Dad.

Caption : It’s been a week since you’ve passed and it’s still unbelievable hard and sad. A man who could fill the room just by walking in it. I spent a lot of time not wanting to be like you, only to become and embrace so much of it. We had a complicated relationship, but there was so much love. My father was the perfect definition of not a perfect man, but a GOOD man. He was the first person to tell me “Man, if you wasn’t my son, I would really like you.” He’d say it all the time and as kid I didn’t really get that. But as I got older the gravity of that stays with me at 47. Those that knew him, knew you’d always get a good meal and a good story. If you ever like anything about me, I got it all from this man. He taught me how to dress, be humble, be a businessman, be loving, entertain, he was the funniest and coolest people on the planet. Hell, I made a whole ass movie about our relationship. I can’t believe you’re gone, man. And let me return the favor, “Even if you weren’t my dad, I’d like you, too.” Tell your loved ones you love them while they’re here. I didn’t enough, but the truth is, there’s probably never enough. Love you, Dad.

Prentice Penny - 4.2K Likes - SUPER EXCITED FOR THE OFFICIAL KEY ART FOR #UncorkedMovie Dropping today @netflix @netflixfilm #march27 #sxsw2020 THIS MOVIE LIKE MANY BEFORE IT: The Farewell, The Photograph, is just about people of color being human. It’s about our beauty not our burden. It’s for everyone but it’s important Black men and fathers see other images of themselves than what’s normally portrayed on screen: Black fathers being present.

When I was looking for writers I didn’t have to go far in wanting to work with someone who I’ve had the pleasure of working with for two seasons on @insecurehbo in @eliwilsonpelton — We very rarely get to do a graphic novel that’s fun, innovative and deals with issues our culture wrestles with. Thank you to everyone in all camps to help make this happen.

Prentice Penny - 2K Likes - Turning the Big 5-0. Can’t believe it. I got to celebrate half a century in the birthplace of civilization. More importantly, I got to celebrate it with my wife, kids and family and friends who’ve been there from the start. This year has been incredibly trying health wise (3 hospitalizations) and work wise (2 union strikes). I had big plans coming into 50 and life said “Fuck yo couch”, but it also opened up opportunities for God to show me what to truly be grateful for. These people. This trip. I used to let anxiety fuel me to be great. I no longer want that. I want peace to fuel that. That is the promise I made to myself for the next 50 years. I got to celebrate 20 years of marriage to my wife on this trip and @mz_money_penny has been the biggest blessing in my life along with my children. I got to see all the beauty and technology black people created and will never be the same. Ever. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and want nothing but blessings for all of you. I’m at a peace I’ve wanted for many years.

Prentice Penny - 1.5K Likes - 4 years ago to the date, I started writing a movie in Paris. A father/son story about a black man who studies wine. So many moments made me want to give up over that time. So many people and places said no. But I learned it’s not God saying no, it’s Him saying “Do you want it fast or do you want it right?” I had to learn how to direct again by watching people like @msmelina @mclumpsum. By being inspired by people who follow their own truth like @issarae - It wasn’t easy and still isn’t. But to sit here 4 years later in the vineyards of Chablis making the movie in the very place that inspired it, I can only say “Won’t He Do It.” I wouldn’t EVEN be here without most importantly @mz_money_penny who holds errrything down, but also @chrisp1363 @datariturner @skimansteamboat @renbenzo @argentpictures @wineauxdlynnp @johnvmeigsjr @dcwade1 @ashleynhlnd @lifeofmeyash @teek715 @roseynickel @bakedliam and @netflix #uncorked2019 Thank you to everyone who ever did anything nice for me. You didn’t have to and I’m forever grateful. Nite.

Pull up and see what me and @onyxcollective put together. At a time when they are erasing our history, it’s paramount we TELL IT ALL.

Prentice Penny - 3 Likes - You’ve probably heard or read these phrases somewhere: “Oscars So White,” “Me Too,” “Say Her Name,” “Black Girl Magic,” “Black Lives Matter.” They’ve all become part of the national lexicon. What you may not know, or have forgotten, is that they originated on an area of social media that included smart, informed reactions from Black celebrities, authors, journalists and just about anyone with a voice. It was called Black Twitter.

Now that Twitter is called X and has lost its luster (plus many of its users), former “Insecure” showrunner Prentice Penny and Wired writer Jason Parham have teamed up as executive producers to document those times in Hulu’s three-part docuseries “Black Twitter: A People’s History.” Like a time capsule of sorts, the series looks back at what it meant to those coining phrases and having discussions in 140 characters or less. For Penny, it’s the first project in a deal with Hulu’s Onyx Collective brand, and a whole new direction for him.

“It was really wanting something, a few things,” Penny says: “One, it was me wanting whatever I did next not to be compared to ‘Insecure.’ I felt I had just done something really special and kind of hit a peak of a mountain, and I didn’t want whatever I did next to actually be like, ‘Oh, well, that’s not “Insecure.”’ And I also wanted to break creatively. I’ve been doing scripted television, specifically in the half-hour space, since [2004]. So I’d been doing it at that point for 17 years. And I want to be scared again. And that’s how ‘Insecure’ made me feel. It made me feel creatively inspired again. And I wanted whatever I did next to come from that place.”
