I bet you that room smell so good. Like coco butter and African black soap 😍😍
LMAO!!!
YESSSSSS 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It smells like funky weaves
HMMM africn black soap
yasss
Issa is what we've been missing in black girl representation. I'm glad she's gotten a platform to express herself and she's staying true to it. She's naturally hilarious and she doesn't put on airs...love her!!!!!!
My sentiments exactly!!!
yes! When Awkward black girl first came on I was like this is me. So happy for Issa Rae's success.
Yessss I really look up to Issa cuz shes awkward xD I'm pretty awkward and I'm glad i can finally look up to someone who looks like me
Now how would you feel if you found out that this so-called "black woman" was once a man? Hollyweird is at it again. She gets zero respect because of the deception. Don't know why Hollyweird keep fooling the masses with these things. Just come out and tell people the truth about who or what you really were.
Trust me, this is/was a dude.
@@ricdafric7565 hey! Sup! Quick question! Where is all of this coming from?
"Get a Black woman" every big sisters statement to her brother.
UKLeonie and nephews, 😊
her brother is so fine!
sjhasc Kvkj yessss
lol I say that to my brothers all the time!
after seeing Get Out, I'm sure my brothers will be dating only sistas
"Can you move? I'm trying to get Laila. " 😂😂💀
I love how she says, "this kind photographer" LOL
ImInLoveTv black women just make me ashamed to be black
@@alpoyeo7008 You ain't slick 😂 tried to get attention when you didn't even get one reply but me 😂 lol btw your spelling is a no.
I love Issa. I love how she finds humour in her awkwardness
"He's single. Get a black woman!" Best remark ever!
what's his Instagram ? asking for a friend that may be able to help him with that task
Do he get a black woman?
Pretty racist remark.
@@xKellogsx Oh, ok.
@@xKellogsx
Why can't yt people stay out of our business? Whenever black people are praising and uplifting eachother here you come crying about something that's NOT racist being racist. Go watch Seinfeld and leave us alone. Is that racist too, crybaby KAREN?
I love Issa! Been watching her since the beginning. When she wins I feel like I'm winning too!
xoxowithstyle Yeah me too lol (doing the me dance/shuffle)
Me too yall! I emailed her when she was doing her youtube show in the beginning to ask her a camera question. She replied back informative and funny. She is so nice :)
xoxowithstyle girl!!!!
xoxowithstyle She would reply to me on Twitter!
xoxowithstyle that's exactly how I feel!
all that black beauty in the audience
Bria Barrows am I the only one confused y Patrick Starr was there or is it more than just black people allowed?
@@ndiacarter450 I had just noticed that

Bria Barrows black women just make me ashamed to be black
Bria Barrows stupid act that old black females another dumb ass acting like he Tiffany haddish think she cute stupid actor shameful looking ass
@@alpoyeo7008 why 're you trying to be everywhere.... your life must be sad...
habibat kehinde olaitan truth hurts
Yup 🙌🏿😊
did yall see Jackie annia.. RUclips ladies stand up.
Ebony Simmons yea I did
Yesss. Thought that was her. Good eye!
And Stephanie Lee!
And for some reason Patrick Starr who is neither black nor a woman, but I still fuck with him heavy.
Yessss I went back just to be like hey Jackie girl I see you!!!
I loved every minute of this hilarious speech! It was so Issa Rae.
Victoria Eaton hey victoria!
Her authenticity is CONTAGIOUS. Go girl, you are great at everything you do!
"I got to breathe the same air as Oprah", she is hilarious and beautiful. Very entertaining speech.
MrsBalanceSheet black women just make me ashamed to be black
MrsBalanceSheet black women is just pitiful that shameful the brewing in the black community
Truly young Hollywood at it's finest!!!!! INSECURE is one of the best comedy shows on in years!!!
NONA'S INSPIRATIONS YES!
NONA'S INSPIRATIONS its so relatable its like the show of my life and sza made the album of my life!
I love the way Yara was looking at her. It seemed like she had much admiration and appreciation for Issa! Truly genuine, sacred and beautiful
She's adorable
I was going to marry her, and give her my kidney!
Amen!
Keisha look it up she a man
I love her❤
@@dionjoseph8112 go away white man
"...doing that magic thing that BW do...". Enough said! Luv Issa!
Disa Jardine That made me tear up because it's so true
👀Please folks WAKE UP that's a man! Am I really the only one who sees it???? (the jawline, the voice, adams apple, the hands)...... 🤔🤔🤔
@@majormediaproductions it seems like every larger sized bw is a "man undercover". Trans exist, I'm not denying that, but so do tall, larger sized women. Idk
So many talented beautiful women of color. Shout out to Jackie Aina, I see you boo 😍🙌🏼
Yes that room was full of excellence❤❤❤
I love Issa! She's so down to earth! My best friend( if only she knew) lol
cheriese2 I
Mine too :)
Hey Jackie Aina!
Pash 2004, I totally saw her too! I was like..."Jackie!!!!! Yes girl, get yours!!!!!" lol!
Yes I love her!!
Pash 2004 I know!! So proud of her... She's such an inspiration!
Am I the only one who teared up during this funny and heartfelt speech? I just ran across this amazing woman named Issa Rae like 3 videos ago and I'm so super proud of her and wish I would have discovered her years ago. #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #goals
So did I and it reminded me of how black women united/supportive will always succeed.
Diva Dinett her Speech was my first so Im on now looking at all she has to say! Never heard of her or Insecure. Im proud to know of her now! Shes Beautiful inside and Out!
Thank y'all for honoring Issa. Her victories are so inspiring. She is real #BlackGirlMagic
Conjure Metaphysics >
Oddly enough I was dating a guy who told me about Awkward Black Girl because he said I reminded him of Issa's character. I watched it on RUclips ( back when it was only on RUclips) and sure enough we were just alike LOL. I'm so proud of Issa!!! 💜
I'm so jealous of ppl who knew of her before HBO lol I love her too though. She is so necessary for us.
Saaaame thing happened to me 😂😂
@@alpoyeo7008 Damn, who pissed you off?
Lazy Kitten nobody piss me off some black women nowadays just embarrassed the hell out of me😬
@@alpoyeo7008 Oh, I see. How did they embarrass you? (If you don't mind sharing)
Issa is funny af😹👏🏾😹👏🏾
RiNNiE she sound like she drunk
I absolutely LOVE Issa Rae...representing awkward black girls everywhere!
Brittany J. Branch black women just make me ashamed to be black
♥️♥️
why just black girls?
@@xKellogsx because shes black and black girls can relate to her duh
@@x97s but there was no need to bring up color, is my point. I don't see a white woman's speech and say, 'representing white women!'. duh. That would be sooo bad.
Who did Issa's hair because it is bleeping gorgeous.
Grégoire Martineau ~Felicia Leatherwood
@@catwilson7 Very cool! Thank you. Hadn't heard of her. checking out her site right now. Cheers
Grégoire Martineau My pleasure, Cheers!
issa is so wonderful! she's not afraid to be herself. in this world when Black women don't even have identities that are true to our core. pretending to be anyone else but ourselves. I love her. she inspires me. ❤
God I live Issa soooo much her whole family is beautiful!!! also her younger broth is fine as hell
icic5 .... Righhhhtttttt
I was like awee .. oh wait he’s that fine!. Girl I got his black girl magic.
plus he's hilarious. watch fly guys present "the f word" on youtube. Issa produced it.
Right! I was looking at him like “hol uuuup...how- how old is he??”
He kinda reminds me of denzel's son
Everyone in that room has such beautiful skin 😍
green melon it’s called ESSENCE honey😌🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You gotta love Issa!!! Truly Amazing and Talented
She is absolutely beautiful
Such a beautiful woman inside and out!
And her brother is finnnne!
As a Latina, I can tell you that my African American women have always been kind, inclusive and really push you to be great. Black women do have a great magic!
Thanks boo 🥰💕
Issa looks amazing and her speech was so real and hilarious lol. Love that she was presented the award by Debbie Allen. Heyyy Miss Jackie Aina!!
IamChavon that big sound like she drunk
I LOVE THIS!!!! Issa so is real! She is definitely the future of television #blackgirlmagic better come through tho
❤ her awkward vulnerability!
wait, Issa's little single brother is fine
Refreshing to see an innovative intelligent awkward black girl who's successful because she embraced and owned her awkwardness.❤️
She is so F'ING AWESOME! There's so many shy talented people out there and I hope this has helped many undiscovered talent to break out of your shell and come out and play because your FANS WILL LOVE YOU!
OMG, did I just see Jackie Aina in the audience!!!
I know I said the same thing..she looked so pretty :)
EBK EVENTS LLC where do they find these old ignored acting black females like Tiffany haddish and Issa Rae...😎
2 RUclips rs side by side
And Patrick Starr
ALPO YEO Is everything okay at home ? 🧐
Tyrese Gibson has absolutely NO BUSINESS being there the way he bashes and talks down about Black women on radio shows and social media!😠😡
I know, right? He has absolutely nothing good to say about us. Always bashing us!
I know right! He should be ashamed thats why no body is checking for his washed up ass ass! Lol
Marcella X black women just make me ashamed to be black
@@alpoyeo7008 it's not black woman boo..you just ashamed of your entire existence....maybe some meds and a therapist can help you...you just don't like yourself period...this woman comes from a very good family...her father is a doctor....her mother I believe is a teacher...she has successful siblings...you gotta read up on her...if anything I wish I was her....do your research...this ain't no wack ass chick...had both parents and she wrote a book...if she was lightskin what you still be ashamed....fuck outta here
He just wanna be seen
I love how she was just real af with her speech. Unrehearsed speeches are the best;. You get to relate with the audience, crack some jokes etc
I just love you, Issa Rae, in all of your awesomely wonderful awkwardness! So, OK, I'm obviously this side of über pale, but us truly awkward girls think you're the best, most beautiful spokesperson for all American womanhood!
She doesnt speak on behalf of all american womanhood lol i hope you know that. I honestly dislike the fact that some of yall try to change the meaning behind things like clearly weren’t addressed to you
Her mom looks like Lena Horne. FABULOUS
I love Issa so much!!! 😍 I watched from season 1 of Awkward Black Girl. I am thrilled for Issa's continued amazing success and memorized by her beauty inside & out!!!
She make awkward look beautiful.. Such a Wonderful person!
Issa is very pretty and talented I like her a lot
I'm a latino male but I identity with Issa Rae so much more than with guys that look and sound like me.
We're both akward yet smart, Shy, but sociable and above all, humourous.
I'm so glad she is getting all this recognition. She absolutely deserves all of it.
My God she is getting more and more beautiful! One of the most flawless beauties ever!!
👀Please folks WAKE UP that's a man! Am I really the only one who sees it???? (the jawline, the voice, adams apple, the hands)...... 🤔🤔🤔
I love how she's so down to earth
This is the personification of Issa's character on insecure so awkwardly funny omg🤣🤣🤣
Samira, Jackie, Viola, Yara, Issa & so many other amazing black women!!
this was so beautifully awkward and classy. I also loved spotting Jackie Aina and Patrick Star out there too 😍
yay to issa 👍😊😊👍
I am officially OBSESSED with this woman! She's made her mark, and is SO deserving!
This is that black girl magic in action. Such a charming video
Issaaaaa love you for representing for us awkward sisters!
Tyreese sitting back there looking all salty. #hater
Teresa Ewing
I swear it's like he don't wanna see us win or be great!
+PinkElevator he's so irritating
Teresa Ewing Fuck Him!
Ikr. Like who df invited his azz! Uggh!
I peeped his frowning butt 😂😂 he so mad
That line about acting like other people are with you! to mask your shame… is the realist thing ever!!!!! 😭🤣😂😭🤣😂😭
Black girls like her and Tiffany haddish are killing the game right now!!! I'm happy to see our black community do the damn thing!
i'm happy to see the white community is doing awesome also!
@@xKellogsx lmfao take your bland ass and go white worship elsewhere. Toodles Kelly.
her brother is handsome. she's so beautiful her and her entire family. Happy for her.
I love this woman. She inspires me to embrace me.
Issa Rae is soooooo funny! I genuinely think she is so refreshing.
One of the best moments of the night. It was so awesome to see Issa be herself, which is Awkward. I loved it. Essence you did an outstanding job. It was a beautiful program and enjoyed watching last night. Thank you :)
Hi did air on OWN yet?
Yes, it aired on the 5th of March. Hopefully they will reair it. It was good. Each winner had a great speech. But watching it on here there are parts on here that are not on the aired version. Just edited. Hopefully you get to watch it.
Issa's speech was amazing & relatable. I've always loved Essence & hearing black women of all ages speak.
AUNTIE JACKIE 😭😭😭😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Issa Rae has a unique vision and beautiful gift of enlightening our hearts with powerful humor through social humility. Thank you for being a Sun Goddess.
I. Freaking. LOVE. Issa Rae. She makes me feel like I can conquer this crazy world.
This woman is friggin gorgeous. I don't care what anyone says!
Lol...no one said she was ugly
👀Please folks WAKE UP that's a man! Am I really the only one who sees it???? (the jawline, the voice, adams apple, the hands)...... 🤔🤔🤔
@@majormediaproductions Yes. You are the only one.
@@majormediaproductions A man as your mom
This is such a HISTORIC moment. So many look past the fact that this is a strong black woman who is actually human (like the rest of us) who is representing actual human beings besides all these celebrities who represent in my eyes nothing. She is strong, real, and in my eyes what every strong person should be.
Sooo we just gone act like issa's brother wasn't finer than a moths!?$&@ 😩
lmao so fine!
Forreal!! 😂
Yeah , that's Enimal he's on her channel in a show called fly guys.
👀👀👀
Um am I missing something? Moths as in the annoying, light chasers that come out at night.
This is why I love this woman!! Nothing but humble, honest, raw, & real ! A true star ⭐
love her!
so grateful that if media is going to force their agenda on you, that she is there, very present, to deflect the negative energy.
Thank God for such a beauty representing all the awkward ppl in the world 👏👏👏👏
Thee funniest acceptance speech I've ever heard. Love her.
I'm so happy to see some of the cast of Awkward Black Girl, they were there since the beginning 😭💛
She is a beacon of light and levity!!!💋💋💋💋
I freaking love Issa, she is def a inspiration.
She looks so beautiful. I've been following Issa for years and she's come such a long way. So proud of her as if she was my own blood sister.
"you better walk that damn carpet" LOL!!!
NOBODY gives a speech like Queen Issa!!!
😄 We love you Issaaaaaaaaa!! Thank YOU for providing black content.
I love Issa Rae, she is so beautiful and smart, with a witty sense of humor. You will get many more awards. Congratulations! 🎉
Issa’s brother is fiiiinnnneee lol ... I love her! Extremely empowering and hilariously funny
OMG she is a beautiful black woman!
I just fell madly in love with Issa Rae again!
What's not to love about Issa Rae!!?!
She is just too adorable... Totally one of those “I wanna be her friend” type of “chicks” (showing my age with that...) 😊🤭
I just love her cool vibe. I would love to be her friend in real life.
I’m so mad at myself for just now discovering Issa Rae! I was doing myself a disservice fr.. I finish Insecure last week...and A Black Lady Sketch Show... I’m HOOKED. She is everything. So relatable, it’s crazy. This speech was everything. You go girl!!!
😂😂she makes me feel so much more comfortable about being weird and awkward 😂
I have followed Lssa since ABG, I am so happy for her. I loved her speech
She is humble, down to earth, and funny, simply a phenomenal sister!
I'm so grateful for the honesty of this speech in how Isse Rae felt the awkwardness of her new found success.
I get choked and paralyzed at the idea of success, as failure is so much easier to grasp. This brought me to tears just by her integrity and honesty of just her truth. Thank you for being so relatable.
I just love her facial expressions as she brings to life her experiences through her articulated intelligence!!! Please keep representing us in a beautiful way. Thank you for who you are and what you do for us Issa :)
Yoooo....issa Rae's baby brother is that cutie from the Starbucks commercials on Snapchat😭😭😭😭 IM SHOOK😭
She's such a beautiful women and I'm a fan of her show and was that Jackie! And her younger brother is handsome!
OMG is that her husband at 0:41 mark? I just love Issa! Just thank you God for Issa.
She's sooo ME!!😂😂😂 I LOVE THIS!
As a man from cross racial roots and trying to manage and figure out whether or not to fit in or be out, she also gives me a winning feeling, even when the feeling is...sorta....awkward. Living her weekly clips from different writers also. Season two, can't wait!!
I’ve loved her since Awkward Black Girl! I could so relate to that damn web series! Especially the awkward walk down the corridor! Do I say “hey “ now or when they get closer - if I say hey now it’s gonba be an awkward prolonged wave ! 🤣🤣😂
Issa Rae looks amazing she is beautiful, smart and funny. Love u.🔥🔥🔥🔥💓💓💓
She has an amazing personality
