Issa’s Insecure & Three Reasons Why the Heaux Phase is Essential…
In season 2 of Insecure, we see Issa has a heauxtation going on. From meeting up with random dudes on Tinder to sexing ‘neighbor bae,’ this awkward Black woman is feeling liberated or perhaps trying to. I’m definitely here for it…all of it!
After justifiably cheating on Lawrence (yes, it is justified) with Daniel, taking a break and just getting hers may be the best thing for Issa. I mean, she held ‘Mr. jobless f’boy Lawrence’ down for 2 years. So, she deserves to pop it for pimp…OKAY!
Lemme tell you why the ‘heaux phase’ is essential…
No commitment:
As women, we tend to commit to guys who aren’t our boyfriends just because he’s nice or consistent. Commitment takes energy and sometimes it isn’t reciprocated.
With the heaux phase, you can get yours and leave and simply commit to enjoying yourself. There’s no added pressure, false expectation, and minimizes feelings being hurt.
Options:
You’re not married or together and there’s no need to act like it. In this phase, you learn the importance of having options. If you want 2 or 22 (no judgment, sis), it’s your prerogative. Options teach you not to settle and relentlessly go for who and what you want.
Teaches You to be Selfish:
The heaux phase teaches you not to give so much of yourself, if you don’t want to. If you don’t want to call him back, be there for him, or consider his feelings—you don’t have to. It doesn’t make you a bad person; it makes you a person with boundaries. You learn the importance of self-care, as it relates to dealing with people.
If you’re lucky, you may end up with a Daniel during your phase. But, that’s really a bonus. The true prize is doing things on your own terms.
Go on and live, sis!

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
