Issa Rae Is Officially A CoverGirl

Today in Black girl magic news, Issa Rae has officially joined the CoverGirl family! 

The creator, co-writer and star of HBO hit series “Insecure”, took to social media this morning to announce that she is the newest face of CoverGirl, joining influential group of women, like Queen Latifah, Janelle Monáe, Zendaya, and Rihanna. 

“I remember being an awkward Black girl in high school, reading the pages of my favorite magazines, casually flipping through @COVERGIRL ads, singing their slogan in my head, she wrote in an Instagram post. Never EVER in my life did I imagine I’d be one. I am SO honored and SO excited for what’s to come.”
