Kenyan artiste's work featured in popular TV series, Insecure

Kenyan painter Elias Mungora "commends the efforts" of America TV producers for seeking him out and using his painting in their popular TV show.

Elias' 2016 painting titled Urban Chronicles was featured in the new season of HBO series Insecure.

Making the announcement, he wrote on Facebook, "Also on positive things matters. Just to recognise and commend the efforts of the creators/writers /directors of Insecure. The conscious decision to look for stories /creative work to feature in their show even from regions usually ignored by such high profile productions is everything. Issa Rae and the time are leading the way here."

Elias said, "Yeah. The team reached out. Sort permission and acquired the image to use on the show. They followed the entire process." Adding, "It was a humbling experience." 

Insecure explores the black female experience from the perspective of the two female protagonists, Issa (Issa Rae) and Molly (Yvonne Orji) who have been best friends with each other since their college days at UCLA.
