    Love how her creativity, mind process, deep critical thinking skills, she's limitless, highly explosive and uses her resources to develop and create material applying her sweet Mother, family, and friends; allowing everything to intertwine with all her present and future projects!
    Issa keeps it real💯, she's highly expressive, a stellar story teller a #Griot.
    Years ago, she was our guest keynote speaker at UCLA, our students were elated, they had an opportunity to do more than a meet and greet sessions with her, she was so cool, our students loved her, who doesn't?
    Her hands-on approach was appreciated, our students had an opportunity to have a one-to-one with her!
    Issa is always in the moment, love this young strong woman.
    Rewatcing four years later, after the completion of Insecure, I'm still watching certain episodes, especially the last few, how she finally expressed her insecurities with Lawrence, excellent ending, of course, she's created and starred in other films, and amazing projects. Issa, keep bringing us comedy, drama, series, most of all, kerp making us laugh, cry, challenging us, and putting a smile on our faces!
    You're a shining 🌟!
    Much loving respect to you girl!

    Issa! ❤️❤️❤️ Loved her since Awkward Black Girl. I still can’t stand the fact that they named her HBO show “Insecure” though. “Awkward Black Girl” WOULD have been better & black women are clearly “relatable” or so many ppl wouldn’t be stealing and appropriating from black women with little to no credit, attribution, or respect...😒

    • @afrovocative
      @afrovocative 6 лет назад +6

      I hated that they changed the format of the show, but i LOVE Insecure. One thing i noticed about Insecure is its more of a drama-comedy series, verses straight comedy like ABG was. ABG Issa went through way less dramatic issues and emotional rifts compared to Insecure Issa. I use to be in tears from laughter while watching ABG, where im more in tears from relating to heart break like a drama series naturally plays out with Insecure.
