Part 2: The Mogul | Boss Lady: The Issa Rae Story
How do you turn a dorm-room web series into a multi-million dollar business empire while staying rooted in your community? In the second installment of our "Boss Lady" series, we go behind the scenes of Issa Rae’s transition from the "Awkward Black Girl" to a global media mogul. This episode explores the intentionality behind the hit HBO series Insecure, which redefined how the world views South Los Angeles, and the birth of Hooray Media—a conglomerate built to open doors for the next generation of diverse creators. From the record label Raedio to the local economic impact of Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen, witness how Issa Rae is proving that "betting on your people" is the ultimate blueprint for a lasting legacy.
