There’s A Connection Between Insecure And Martin

Vonda Morris, one of the people responsible for serving us effortless 90s glam on Martingives Issa Dee her glow on Insecure. “I’m old school,” joked Morris, who also worked on The Bernie Mac Show. Seasoned Black professionals continuing to work? We love to see it!

Issa’s Hair Isn’t Scripted Unlike wardrobe and location, the hair for Rae’s character is often a spontaneous decision by veteran hair stylist Felicia Leatherwood. “I don’t plan these styles you guys,” she said. “They literally are a creation between Issa and I in the morning,” Leatherwood said. “Sometimes I have an idea of what I want but once I see the wardrobe it could change, so yeah, its off the cuff.”

Issa And Molly Were Not Always The Show’s Central Relationship When Rae was writing outline after outline in development, it was in a meeting with producers that she began was talking about her real-life friendships and showed them a text from her homegirl. The response? “That’s the show.”

Prentice Penny Got His Job With A Letter The showrunner penned a letter to the up and coming writer and producer Issa Rae to express his vision for their partnership. The unexpected move was successful and Rae called him “my brother,” in one of her last addresses to the cast and crew.

This show will definitely be missed, but we can’t wait to see what else Issa Rae has in store for us!!
