There are people who just say they're awkward to be cute. And THEN there's Issa Rae, who legit can't walk down a long, obnoxious hallway towards another human without completely over-analyzing the situation and not knowing where to look. At the last minute, she'll turn against the wall because that crack suddenly seems so interesting.
Her 2011 YouTube channel, The Mis-adventures of Awkward Black Girl & Friends, a.k.a AWKWARD Black Girl, is nostalgic and reminds us of what blogs used to be. People used to get famous by making YouTube channels.
Now, Issa Rae is the star and writer for HBO's Insecure. She's the first black woman to star in her own HBO show, and next weekend she's coming to Mizzou!
She also copes with stress with dancing awkwardly (which ends up just stressing her out more because she can't dance.)
She can't even pass a lime without completely making a mess.
Check out her channel to binge-watch Issa before she gets here next weekend.
