I had the opportunity to talk to her business manager. And he told me “it’s easy for everybody to see Issa at her glory and think it’s easy, insecure is a hit show but y’all don’t know how many shows she wrote until finally one worked.” 😭

If you're in the entertainment industry, hell, if you're a person of color, I highly suggest joining the journalist of color slack group. I can't tell you how many people have helped me review contracts emails and gave me advice. I'm very grateful.

Two years ago I wrote these words in my backyard. I sent the script over to Lauren London’s manager and she said yes.
God is gracious.

This might be off because traveling is literally not a black or white thing. But I hate when black people start traveling or going somewhere and it loses their value.

THE ENERGY!!!! It’s not that hard to give credit where it’s due. A simple tag can help a creative from working a raggedy ass 9 to 5. Help them get paid for their art. Don’t ever feel above opening a door for the next

This is the truth:
I went to the opening night in LA. Bow Wow has the BEST set. He comes out full energy the entire time. His mic is on, he’s rapping full verses. He has breathing control, voice control. He’s playing hits. He brings out the best guests. He is a great performer

you really never did. It’s very clear that celebrities get dressed by the top designers fashion and jewelry. There’s been videos of Beyoncé a billionaire saying she got to caught up in a performance, threw her jewelry, and had to go get it because she didn’t want to pay for it.
