Awkward, black and enterprising
Issa Rae is a multitalented artist with a distinct comic vision. As the creator of the funny and beloved "Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl" web series, she introduced an unlikely heroine to the world, an awkward and neurotic black woman. In "Ratchetpiece Theater," she casts the appraising eye of a high culture aficionado on translating the rhyme and reason of 'ratchet' music videos.
