Issa Rae is the creator and writer for the award-winning web series Awkward Black Girl and it is honestly a good ass show. It has a taste of humor that's similar to shows like The Office but of course, this is from an awkward black girl's perspective. If you have never watched it you can check it out here.
Recently, Issa sat down for an in-depth interview with journalist Penny Wrenn during the Celebration of Black Writing Festival in Philly and it was really inspiring. For anyone who is involved in a creative field, I think you will be able to relate to Issa because she has the story of a unique visionary who began with nothing but a low-budget and a great idea that has transpired into a beautiful success. In fact, it is such a success that for the second season of ABG, Pharrell Williams (Yes, that Pharrell) endorsed the show through his new network called i am OTHER.
