So....I have to be honest, I never heard of this magical black girl until the premiere of her hit show Insecure on HBO. After falling in love with the series and becoming more familiar with her work, I wish I was one of those people that can say I witnessed her journey from the beginning.
Through her writings and comedy, Issa expresses how beautifully frightening it is to be young, black, woke and especially a female in America. She concocts real life issues with a dose of lighter that anybody can relate to even if you're not first handedly affected by the topics. Whether you want to admit it or not she's just dope like that. From her debut with her web series entitled Awkward Black Girl to being the new face of CoverGirl, Issa demonstrates there is nothing you cannot have as long as faith is behind your gifts.
Not only does 2018 look to be promising for Issa with Insecure coming back for its third season but also it has been confirmed that she will be working on two new series with HBO. I'll be right in front of my TV with my snacks and in the company of my woes on black twitter.
If there was ever a time you doubted the transferring of energy, watching this gem would make you a firm believer that it is possible. You can't help but to be impressed with how humble and extremely honest she comes off. And not that ratchet " I'm going to say whatever is on my mind" honesty but that "this is who I am and I love me" honesty. This year, she has been one of the ladies that has encouraged me to continue writing when it felt pointless. Her drive, perseverance, and success has motivated the writer in me to wipe my tears, Boss up and tell the world that they `gon to get AAAAAL this black girl magic today.
Funny, Beautiful, Inspiring, and definitely for the culture. Issa Rae, you truly are a thoro gem.
