On a Friday a few years ago, I was asked to blurb a new book.
“The misadventures of the awkward Black girl”
The tittl made me laugh so I read it on Saturday, loved it and wanted to know more about the girl at the center, Issa Rae.
I then spent Sunday watching all of her ground lbreakibg YouTube series of the same name. It’s was heartbreaking,?well observed, effortlessly diverse and most important, so funny.
So I met, got to know and fell in love with Issa Rae all in one weekend.
And that’s probably what you did too. You heard about her or saw her being funny on a talk show, watched something she created and then wee infected with this desire to devour everything she makes as quickly as she can put it out. I watched the entire first season of insecure in two days I loved her world, her friends, her clothes her handsome love interests and her anxieties.
Maybe especially her anxieties, because those are what makes her so lovable.
Only Issa Rae could make the adjective awkward and insecure thing to do Rae; writer, actor,force of nature _ and chic as hell.
