Much of Issa Raeās work, including The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl and Insecure, explores the everyday experiences of young Black women in America. Insecure follows the lives of two Black women navigating their careers and love lives in Los Angeles. Rae was the second Black woman to create and star in her own prime-time series, and the first to do so on premium cable. The New York Times noted that Rae has a knack for portraying everyday Black life, not defined in contrast to whiteness, but as a subject worthy of exploration.
