Rae and I talk, she’s wearing a giant pink Farm Rio cardigan over a white tank top and super-fleece sweatpants. She’s just received her first COVID vaccination, which she got at the Crenshaw Mall with a group of friends. “That shit has wiped me out,” she says. “I’m talking about chills, body aches. It’s not great. ButEven sick, she woke up at 4 a.m.—as she does every morning—to go for a walk and attend to business in the quiet hours.
I ask Rae to read me her daily horoscope. She pushes her rolling chair away from her desk to grab her phone across the room—this shocks me a little, frankly, because everyone I know needs to maintain skin-to-skin contact with their phones at all times—and opens the app. After a moment, she laughs to herself, and a hint of embarrassment creeps up her throat. “Well, now it’s going to seem arrogant,” she says. “It just says: ‘Natural networker. You know how to put others at ease.
The Diops moved to Potomac, Maryland, then back to L.A., where Rae’s father was locally known thanks to the Inglewood clinic on Manchester Boulevard that bore his name. Her parents divorced when she was in high school. That strained her relationship with her father for several years, though she talks warmly about him now.
The duo made peace at Diddy’s birthday party two years ago, Rae says, spurred by London’s partner, the late Nipsey Hussle. The rapper approached Rae at the party and encouraged her to make things right. “He was like, ‘You should just talk to her. Let me set it up,’ ” she says. “It actually sparked an amazing two-hour conversation. We had so much in common. She was like, ‘People don’t understand,an awkward Black girl.
I’m really excited to see what IssaRae has coming up next. Been a fan since her YouTube days, & I’m still rockin’ w/ her. Just following her career shows that she’s a beautiful women on & off the screen. I admire that. Hope to meet and work w/ her ONE DAY. 💜🤞🏾 MerryChristmas
She really should wear some clothes.
I think she is making a huge misstep in naming her filmmaker discovery contest project green light. I can tell her why if she wants to know
