Just a brief back story, Issa is a web series pioneer. Long before everyone jumped on the “broadcast yourself” phenomenon, Issa made herself known with The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl and a number of other projects. After years of perseverance, readjusting her strategy, crafting a notable production company and an immense following, Issa is a self-made entertainment powerhouse both on and off-screen. Her success in the last seven years is worth studying.
via Deadline
Co-created and written by Rae and Larry Wilmore, Insecure follows the friendship of two modern-day black women, Issa (Rae) and Molly (Yvonne Orji) and all of their uncomfortable experiences and racy tribulations.
And that fine Jay Ellis is in it.
Yes, GOD.
You go, Issa!
