"What Scares You, Can Only Help to Provoke Greatness." - Issa Rae

[@venishajohnson1603]

You are Loved By Me an Unknown 💜💜💜

[@cv8499]

She's incredible. She not only got herself on, but she made sure she brought in a whole bunch of people with her. She's opening so many doors for others. I think this, more than anything, is why she continues to be blessed and successful in her endeavors. (I mean of course aside from her obvious talent and drive.) I am such a fan!

[@Chantal3laine]

Issa is indirectly my mentor. She really helps to lay the framework of how I can execute my creative goals. Love her.

[@niablee]

Issa Rae is truly a MOGUL. I appreciate her being honest about last year being hard. She inspires me to keep at it, keep going!

[@Ruby-kr6fh]

Issa Rae is one of my paper mentors, she EMBODIES the essence of what a mogul is. I'm so grateful for her visibility and presence!

[@audreymo63]

Her glow up has been amazing 🤩 crushing on Issa since Awkward Black Girl videos 🖤💚❤️

[@elspethchimedza]

I see parts of me in Issa Rae. She inspires me and I love her work.

[@IcedCoffeeandChaplaincy]

I had that “type” of year - just rough and unexplainable. BUT GOD, prayer and perseverance, I made it out alright. Gotta keep going

[@Itsdchung718]

[@evefavorse5939]

She is a national treasure! When Issa speaks, she commands attention! Love her and can’t wait for what she creates next!

[@madewithloveduh]

misAdventures of awkward black girl got me through my first years of college back in the day. Thank you Issa, thank you

[@vanesssasvieira]

Issa Rae is an inspiration. We often feel like impostors of ourselves, and seeing her talk about her vulnerabilities and how she managed to balance them makes me admire her more every day! I'm a big Brazilian fan!

[@Auntkekebaby]

I assure you're doing exactly what you should be doing. You take your feelings and turn it into art. You're super talented and hilarious.

[@monique.thenurse55]

Issa Rae is phenomenon woman.. I watch her show Insecure from season 1 to season 5 it’s one of my favorite shows on HBO Max. Sometimes I repeatedly watch it a lot because it’s comical, based on life experiences within urban communities growth of relationships, friendships.when she wrote the script. She had to know it was going to be phenomenal.❤️Thank you Issa ray for your dedication for allowing us to watch your series on HBO now is on Netflix. Congratulations to you and your success.. I look forward to watch new tv series of your production..You deserve your flowers 💐💐💐🌸 ❤️

[@DeneensDreamLife]

Yes! I now love visiting LA, South LA, Inglewood because OF Issa, Insecure. Cheering you on in everything you do!!!

[@patricialeonard2748]

Me too

[@GratitudeGriot]

Been a fan since ABG. It's incredible to see how her mind works and what her vision is for her community!! Issa is absolutely right South LA is definitely a significant tourist spot. I grew up in NY but thankfully got to live in LA for 2 years. Whenever I drove on Normandy and Western I thought of the movie Friday, hanging out in Leimert Park made me think of Moesha, I got my butters and oils from Slauson. Not So LA but I lived a block away from the Dunes before Insecure was ever filmed there. So many iconic spots that are worthy of preserving and building economy around. Can't wait to see what else Issa creates! She's truly an inspiration❤🖤💚

[@michelleh.3326]

Issa gas always been that girl! Love her and her journey. 🙏🏾❤

[@theoniway2323]

[@IamMichelle88]

Makes me think of the Adam's family , and a death threat from when I first called out my sister's bf who threatened her life. Who is mayor Adam's. But went by another name. Also harassing my youngest sister and my other sister he dated and threatened my life. This has to do with hiding things on people that are blackmailed. Housing also came up randomly for the place I had but was blackmailed into silence regarding blackmailed relatives when in foster care. I got that housing because I was too scared to report crime in foster care and they thought I wasn't because I was quiet. I was afraid and physically abused , my fear made me know they would do something extreme. Also I've been ignored my entire life by my family because of outside people harassing my family and my older siblings. The way people get away with things is by not acknowledging the existence or things that happen. More dangerous but not sure though with identities and the fact that you are here but aren't also known , though you are around alot of people but no one speak to you. Ever. Many series have to do with witchcraft and doing witchcraft on people , everyone is part of it because they cannot defend themselves to survive. powwow randomly came up while typing

HAPP¥ 2/24\24🎉 & | 💞TH|§ QU€€N‼️ MOTIVATOR PERSONIFIED👊••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

[@IamMichelle88]

My stolen identity used here to human sex traffick me and silence me from dealing with anything in my life regarding court , police reports , human sex trafficking help , making complaints about foster care not reporting crimes and assaults and beatings in foster care when I was under aged. Nothing is being handled but I'm not able to have anything to get help regarding this and I can't work in the state I'm in. I'm almost passing out in the shower and other things. I went to doctors and they failed to diagnose me but this feeling dizzy has been happening since 2018 and I fell in the shower , passing out , when under aged.

[@IamMichelle88]

My family is also being silenced and abused and human sex trafficked to not fight back or speak so she can cover up who she isn't in her fake identity

[@IamMichelle88]

Is that Kanye?

[@joelmedina7777]

She literally reads a piece of paper and pretends to be other ppl for a living. She’s not Ben Carson or Thomas Sowell. She shouldn’t be an inspiration to anyone really. She reads lines for a living….. some ppl need better role models. Also the self importance and wisdom from her ivory tower seems out of touch but hey I’m just a regular ol Hispanic real estate agent trying to pay rent in nj. I’m sure you guys can relate to the multi millionaire more right
