After being talked into adopting a cat to keep him company, he found himself the father of not one but two rambunctious kitties: Annabelle, a narcissistic beauty who envisions herself as a future Broadway star; and her sensible little brother Thatch, who’s more than happy to just tag along.

Dark satire about bullying and school violence.

Issa Rae preferred working alone. She was particular that way. But as her career grew, she understood that sharing control didn’t necessarily mean losing it—or her vision. And that sometimes, carefully chosen Hollywood allies could actually enhance it. From rom-coms to blockbusters, from writers’ rooms to film sets—including Barbie—the former independent spirit discovers the superpower of collaboration while remaining unapologetically herself.

From the imagination stage to actually making the magic happen, writer-producer-actress Issa Rae is a multitasking phenomenon. She’s also an inveterate procrastinator. But even that’s part of her creative strategy. Blending personal anecdotes with practical insights, Issa explores the challenges of having to constantly deliver, the importance of “workations,” and the value of embracing a unique creative rhythm in an increasingly demanding world.

The Armor You Built, a genre-bending collection of short stories by Jonah Kruvant, delves into the complexities of human connection, authenticity, and the struggle for selfhood in a world that often demands conformity.

Remember a mortifying moment that made you self-aware? Honestly, Issa Rae remembers a few. In this illuminating essay, Issa follows her shoulda/coulda/woulda journey from awkward schoolgirl to a Hollywood life under the spotlight.

Three I Do's and a Big F.U.! (Fundamental Understanding) is a wild ride, at times humorous and others tragic, a fascinating journey into one man’s search for fundamental understanding in relationships and life.

Even at seven years old, Issa Rae meant business, conducting herself with entrepreneurial authority on a toy phone in her bedroom. Eventually, it was a matter of convincing others that she had a lot to say and getting them to listen. From her first web series, Awkward Black Girl, to network disappointments to HBO triumphs, Issa charts her aspirational journey—self-doubts and all—of being taken seriously, finding her voice, and shaping it into a groundbreaking career.

Issa Rae was born in Los Angeles but never felt she was quite the city’s type. Though each inspiration destination—from Potomac to Harlem—left its mark, Issa chases her dreams back to her sun-soaked roots. It’s there that Issa finally finds her voice, her wings, and the vibrant heartbeat of a creative community. Issa’s true muse had been waiting all along for her to come home.
