Issa Rae: Writer, Producer, Actress, and Founder, Hoorae
Featuring Issa Rae, Writer, Producer, Actress, and Founder, Hoorae
Issa Rae ushered in a new era of storytelling for Black creators with her Peabody Award-winning series Insecure. Since then, she's eagerly held the door open for the Black storytellers and creatives coming after her, primarily through her multifaceted company, Hoorae, that stretches across TV, film, audio, talent management, and branded entertainment. And Hoorae is just the tip of Rae's "mogul era," with a prosecco brand (Viarae), coffee shop chain (Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen), and haircare line (Sienna Naturals) to her name as well. In this conversation, hear how Rae is building a new kind of empire and how "rooting for everyone Black" truly stands out in a regressing Hollywood landscape.
