This painting was inspired by an article in the NYT. Issa Rae discusses the final season of "Insecure" the HBO show she helped create. The show is about the anxieties of Black life. It made her more self-assured. "Ture representation is the ability to show your vulnerability and be able to say, "I don't have it all together, just like the next white person doesn't have it all together." I loved her expression and pose.
