We interrupt the regularly scheduled “Friday Funny” for something, well…funny.
You wanted her, and I am a woman of my WORD! I present to you Issa Rae, the KICK ARSE creator of “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl.” She and I had a great conversation about college life at Stanford, her a quick stint in New York, and now back in California, she quickly is forging sure-fire cult hit.
Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that Jay is her first “swirl” relationship, and since Issa just plays J on the show, she’s sort of living life vicariously through her. She was VERY interested in Swirling the book, so I must make sure she gets a copy. (hee hee)
I reached out to Issa last week and ran her down for an interview. Actually, I laid down in the street in front of her car until she would talk to me. So as not to create more of a scene, she graciously agreed to an interview monitored by bodyguards and Secret Service agents but it didn’t feel at all uncomfortable.
Get your deets on what the future holds for the show:
Issa Rae “Awkward Black Girl” by Christelyn
So you young, successful rainbeaus, Ms. Rae, 26, is an equal opportunity dater so…you might want to find and friend her on Facebook here while you still have the chance and won’t have to lie in front of her car before she’ll speak to you, because that just looks desperate.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the latest episode. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
