Thanks imanim22!! I knew it was her-thanks for posting the IG pic! (are you a Master of None fan? I am-she's great in the show if you haven't watched yet 😉
LOVE Master of None. She wrote "Thanksgiving" based on her own experience. While she was hesitant to share her story, she ultimately won an Emmy for it.
Queen Latifah!s voice is very distinctive and that is definitely not her. Apparently, Lena Waithe commented on Twitter that she has been having larynx issues with all of her recent voice-over work. She also had a screen shot of the AT&T logo for ‘Your Thing’ captured. Seems that she is implicitly suggesting that she is the actor.
There also were numerous commercials with diverse casting, narrators or announcers, such as a funny spot for McDonald's $1/$2/$3 menu with Chrissy Teigen; a teaser for the final season of House of Cards with Robin Wright as President of the United States; an upbeat commercial for AARP with a spiel delivered in rap-poetry style; product-centric "More for your thing" commercials for AT&T, narrated by Lena Waithe, the African-American actress and screenwriter ...

Sometimes the voice sounds like Serena Williams too.

She posted some kind of emoji on Twitter but never confirmed either way.

It's NOT Laila Ali.
It's NOT Serena Williams
It's NOT Kym Whitley
It's NOT Leslie Jones or Cocoa Brown
It's NOT even D.J. Pierce, aka Shangela Laquifa Wadley
It's Lena Waithe!

I’m going with Lena. I’ve watched the “Thanksgiving” episode of Master Of None about a billion times. Sounds exactly like her.

FWIW, I came across this, earlier today on https://www.mediavillage.com/article/stuart-elliott-oscar-ads-offer-a-glimpse-at-the-shape-of-advertising/print/ - about commercials on the Super Bowl and Oscars:
There also were numerous commercials with diverse casting, narrators or announcers, such as a funny spot for McDonald's $1/$2/$3 menu with Chrissy Teigen; a teaser for the final season of House of Cards with Robin Wright as President of the United States; an upbeat commercial for AARP with a spiel delivered in rap-poetry style; product-centric "More for your thing" commercials for AT&T, narrated by Lena Waithe, the African-American actress and screenwriter ...
Good looking out, @Imanim22!
Thanks,
Dave
