When Tyler Perry shared he is the sole writer of many of his TV shows, including Sistas, many people were concerned and upset about a Black man writing about the experiences of Black women…authentically. After comedian/actor Lil Rel Howery questioned Tyler writing a show about young Black women saying, “You can’t write a show called ‘Sistas’ and you’re not a sista. So you don’t want no suggestions or nothing?” The cast of ‘Sistas’ were asked about how they felt about the show being written by a Black man and if they felt their portrayals were compromised because of that. “We have a director/executive producer/creator who loves women,” said Mignon Baker, who plays the spitfire character, Danni. “If you’ve ever taken the time to listen to one of his interviews, you that his number one inspiration is his mother.”
