ABC is creating a family sitcom based on the life of The Rap Yearbook and Basketball (And Other Things) author Shea Serrano. The San Antonio-born, Houston resident is writing the pilot script himself.
Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur is serving as the executive producer for the series. “Got tired of waiting for there to be more Mexicans on TV so I asked @KenTremendous (Schur) to help me try & make a family sitcom for ABC about them,” Serrano tweeted, announcing the new project.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the series is inspired by Serrano’s childhood “growing up in a family with five uncles who all have different perspectives on manhood.”
Serrano’s The Rap Yearbook is currently being turned into a six-episode AMC documentary, executive produced by The Root’s Questlove and Black Thought. The docu-series comes out in 2018. The Rap Yearbook and Serrano’s second book Basketball (And Other Things) are both New York Times Best Sellers.

Tamika Mallory of the Women’s March is a fan of Louis Farrakhan, and people are outraged
The Women’s March organization — decried from the start for being non-inclusive by a variety of critics, including some trans women, women of color, sex workers, and even anti-abortion activists — can now add another rapidly growing group of people to that list: Jewish feminists. Or, more broadly, those who oppose anti-Semitism in general.
The latest controversy stems from Women’s March cofounder Tamika Mallory and her recent attendance at a speech given by the incendiary Nation of Islam leader and noted anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.
