With her own unique flare and infectious sense of humor, Rae first received attention for her award-winning web series and the accompanying New York Times best-seller, “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl.” She created and starred in the Peabody-award-winning HBO series Insecure which garnered her multiple Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominations. Rae has also made her mark on the big screen, starring in THE PHOTOGRAPH and THE LOVEBIRDS.
In 2020 Rae formed HOORAE, a multi-faceted media company that develops content across mediums in an effort to continue to break boundaries in storytelling and representation. HOORAE is comprised of HOORAE Media for film, tv and digital; Raedio, the music label, music supervision company, and “audio everywhere” company; and ColorCreative, its management division. Via HOORAE’s WarnerMedia deal, Issa has also expanded her Executive Producer slate with the Emmy-award nominated A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW, the fan-favorite docuseries SWEET LIFE, and the upcoming HBOMax series, RAP SH*T.
Rae’s commitment to South LA is evident in both her personal and professional pursuits. After planting roots near her childhood home, Issa decided to set up the HOORAE headquarters in the heart of South LA. Her participation in the non-profit organization Destination Crenshaw furthers her mission of celebrating Black Angelenos and her ownership in Hilltop Cafe + Kitchen provides much-needed jobs and opportunities for local residents as well as a space for creatives to unlock their potential. Additionally, as co-owner of the Black owned and operated hair care line, Sienna Naturals, Rae intends to continue to reimagine Black wellness and beauty. Sienna Naturals is a performance-driven vegan hair care line rooted in sustainability and intentionality and was awarded Cosmopolitans “Holy Grail Beauty Award” in 2021.

Two beautiful black queens on top of their game in their careers. Love this.
Janelle Monae's voice is soooooo soothing omg
I love science fiction, anime, fantasy literature and everything inbetween! We are not a monolith and I'm ecstatic to hear Issa and Janelle share their wisdom. Love their individual perspectives and artistic uniqueness. They're opening up the envelope and showing that there is no box. We need that!!!!! Can we have the UK tour please??!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
As do many other black folks. That’s a subconscious effect of racism & oppression to think most black people don’t like those things. What’s marketed to us by industries isn’t a true representation of what we want and like.
re-watching and aint gonna quit smiling. profound pride. peace and prosperity to everyone
Her hair is beautiful!
Loving this conversation! My new affirmation is “I embrace my uniqueness even if it makes others feel uncomfortable” and “It’s never too good for me. I am worthy of being in every room I walk into” thank you Issa and Janelle ❤
This was a "STAND in your own lane" conversation.
Two drop dead gorgeous black women blowing the roof off the world with they talent. Keep moving up ladies. I love Janelle wearing her own💯💥💫 natural hair growing out to the sky to the sun. It looks so rich and beautiful.
Constant choice of freedom over fear, because freedom is not free- lovee this woman
There are so many sci-fi and fantasy books out by black writers, especially black female writers, and most are based on afro-futurism, African cultures, African-American cultures, etc. Y'all need to get into it!
Just sobbing at these two together. Brilliant peers. Black excellence. Boss Bitches. Best style!!!! Love this so much.
I feel everything Janelle Monae said. I love how Issa creates this safe space to state your truth, be in her truth and not try to fluff piece the interview. Just real.
Embrace the things that make me unique even if it makes others feel uncomfortable
I’m from Kansas City, Kansas we are so proud of you and how much you’ve accomplished. Always stay true to self!
Love the opportunity to see 2 of my faves interact!
I love you Janelle!
Love our KC queer girl. Issa definitely needs to put her in something. I have so much family in Georgia and ATL is so hospitable and the food is top notch.
International!! That's the Word that comes to mind when I think about Janelle - she is on PURPOSE!! 👍🔥
Shout out to Issa!!! Another Sista who is INTENTIONAL!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💗🖤💚
Janelle Monae gives me courage to be as big as I am, to be the who I am. Thank you Janelle Monae! ❤❤
Freedom is not free❤️🐝🫶🏾
I Loved when she said , “We (black women) have a special way of dealing w people … I come in peace, but I mean business . “
😍 Janelle shoes are everything🔥!! I Love both of these awesome women!!
Beautiful artistic interview
Both of these black women are Triple threats... Brains, Beauty, and Creativity
The fact that they're both for the progression of Black People just makes my heart smile
Two of my favorite women! These creatives inspire me.
The more I hear Janelle Monáe, the more I love her! It’s been 11 years I’ve been loving Janelle, Monáe, and I remember the first time I heard her song I remember what song it was and I remember exactly where I was when I heard it. The sales lady, the sales person told me you got a know who Janelle Monáe is and I did, and I’ve loved her ever since. I feel so lucky to watch videos about Janelle Monáe, and to be able to hear her voice and her thoughts. She matches the person that she sings about and the things that she believes in and the work she hopes to do with her work is definitely working! I believe me and you Janelle Monáe! Thank you for everything you do!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I love the telling your audience not to do anything but ask questions that relate to Janelle Monae! Go you, Lazy Perfectionist! You are here and doing so much! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤❤
