- It all started with a script from 'Moesha.'
You know Issa Rae from 'Insecure' on HBO, from 'Awkward Black Girl,' from 'The Lovebirds,' from 'Little.’ She produces 'A Black Lady Sketch Show.' She runs an Atlantic Record imprint, Raedio. She runs the production company, Issa Rae Presents, that makes 'Insecure.' She founded ColorCreative to represent underrepresented writers. She's got Emmy and Golden Globe nominations and a Peabody award. So how did a self-proclaimed “awkward girl” get to the place that she is today?
It all started back in 1996, with a script from 'Moesha' and a dissatisfaction for the Black stories that Hollywood wanted to tell. She decided to stop talking sh*t and start making sh*t and hasn't looked back since.
While you wait for 'Insecure' Season 5 (or rewatch Season 4), watch this Issa Rae interview to see how the 'Insecure' creator and star came to be.

@@justisleague4021 blacks are probably the most racist race nowadays man, c'mon.
@mic mac i guess the burning of our cities didn’t exist then?
Insecure is definitely our generations version of moesha, living single, etc. thank you Issa!
She is so gorgeous and talented
Are you gay?
She is naturally and effortlessly funny 😄
I've been watching Issa since I was 22...9 years later and I'm still hyped about her content. It's only gotten better.
I was sad to hear about Insecure ending 😭😢
Same
Content? I think it makes more sense to refer to it as her work or her art
Same! She continues to be such an inspiration!
I love Issa’s body of work so much. She really showcases the Black lady characters that are typically missing, in most other popular productions. Thank you Issa for doing what you do🙏🏾.
Awkward black girl was such a breath of fresh air!
ABG changed MY LIFE! You’re right, before you, we didn’t see “us” anywhere. I mean the last time I’d seen something that resounded with ME was Sister Sister! ABG filled a huge void and we LOVED IT and you for creating it!
Sis been doing things! Every small step leads to a bigger moment.
I got soooo much love for Issa. I still go back and watch awkward black girl. Keep shining ✨✨✨✨
Man, she's beautiful (inside and out it seems)! She's definitely helping push DSBW (dark-skinned black women) to the forefront.
been watching awkward black girl since 6th grade and put all my friends onto it but they were SLEEPING on the show bc they weren't awkward so they didn't vibe with it the same way I did lol. but her representation REALLY made me feel like I wasn't an oreo, or a weirdo, or had white girl hips bc my booty was different or any other insecure things my half siblings told me I was or anyone at school who were wearing weaves n I had my african print on and afro told me I was. She really gave me confidence and made me feel like I too could be as unique as I wanted to be. My fav scene was one of the last ones in ABG when they had the step competition I was in tears on the floor lol.
Good lord. Black is beautiful.
I think to my self I'm proud to be a black man, like look at this woman good god
💯💗
Fun fact: Issa Rae , Jidenna, and Richard Sherman all went to Stanford at the same time!
Jidenna a whole snack.. so is Issa
"the old and the rusted" 😂😂
'I thought he was gassin me cause God told him to ..'
Q U E E N!
She's gorgeous
i'm finna put me in some Issa Rae braids
“I thought he was gassing me ... cause Hod told him too “ LMAO 😂 ❤️
Gotta love ISSA 😍❤️🔥👑
When she said 'Where's the stuff I watched in the 90s, where are we?' I got chills. I could feel tears prick my eyes. I'm a white Civil Rights Lawyer who grew up in the 90s and black culture, black people were so influential in my career decision, my life decisions honestly.
The world is a better place with this powerful, beautiful woman in it. I'm grateful she's inspiring millions of little black girls that their voices and talents will be seen and heard too.
I love issa rae so much 😭❤she's my role model , I'm a 16 year old female aspiring actress and very passionate ..Hope one day we meet 😭😭❤I also love her voice so bad ❤not mentioning how crazy she acts !! Never felt this way about someone ❤❤❤❤❤
I just got turned on to Insecure last week season 4 while visiting a friend. I was smoking and so was she on that episode when she was about to burn the yoga mat. I've binged was all of them such a good show and Issa is beautiful 😍
i died when she talked about the play from church. lol
Issa Rae: “That web series ended up changing my life ...”
Us: That web series ended up changing the world. Nobody watches it and leaves unchanged. Oh! And thanks for that “ovaries of steel” comment at the Oscars, “Congratulations to those men.😐”
Love her so much! Awkward black girl came out when I was in the 7th grade and instantly related to it and love it so much! I still do till this day!
I want to meet her so bad
Ok.... Not KRAZY just a fan... Alright
I was the only black girl in most of my classes. ABG was my safe space growing up and it put me on to Childish Gambino 🥲
Issa is so naturally funny. I admire her so much
Happy belated birthday Issa, and you should wear braids like that more often, nice protective style and they look beautiful in you
Absolutely gorgeous

ABG definitely was a moment that made me! I remember when my mom called me while I was at college and told me to watch it right away because she saw me. I watched it and saw myself represented. Life changer and a fan ever since 🤍
