Issa Rae is fed up.

Widely hailed as a trailblazer, the budding mogul adapted her internet-born ‘Awkward Black Girl’ show into the TV phenomenon ‘Insecure’– serving as the lead star, writer, and producer of both titles.

In the time since the latter wrapped, Rae has continued to charge forward – nabbing big roles in Hollywood and, perhaps most crucially, expanding her creative output by way of helming new shows such as ‘A Black Lady Sketch Show’ and ‘Rap Sh*t.’

However, a mere matter of weeks after the Max show was canceled after just two seasons (and months after ‘Sketch Show’ suffered a similar fate), the 39-year-old has poured out her frustrations about the climate that Black-led shows find themselves. And she’s opened up about the moves she’s eyeing to combat it.

Despite being one of R&B’s most underrated gems, Chante Moore is easily one of the most consistent concert draws of her class thanks to a diehard fanbase that continues to pack venues in support of her runs on the live music circuit.
