36 year old American Actress, Writer and Producer, Issa Rae who first garnered attention for her work on the YouTube web series ‘Awkward Black Girl’ is the newest face for June Edition of Vanity Fair.
Issa Rae Vanity Fair Cover 2021 was photographed by Adrienne Racquel. In this Edition, She says goodbye to Insecure, Rebooting Project Greenlight, and more.
Rae is now producing such a variety of things that she’s like someone who just came back from a buffet with a towering plate. Next up is Sweet Life, a docuseries in the vein of Laguna Beach and The Hills about Black 20-somethings living in L.A.’s tony Baldwin Hills neighborhood.
The show was inspired by the 2007 BET series Baldwin Hills, which Rae loved. (One of the managers at ColorCreative, Rae’s initiative promoting inclusion in TV, was a former cast member of the series.)
Alongside Adam McKay, Rae is also producing an adaptation of Nice White Parents, a quietly infuriating podcast about a public school in Brooklyn. She’s writing, producing, and starring in Perfect Strangers, based on the Italian dramedy Perfutti sconosciuti, about a group of friends learning each other’s darkest secrets during a chaotic dinner party.
And then there’s the second season of A Black Lady Sketch Show, the Emmy-nominated series that Rae.
