At this year’s InvestFest, award-winning actress, writer, and entrepreneur Issa Rae shared her evolution from a creative storyteller to a powerful business leader. Best known for Insecure, Rae now oversees ventures across television, film, music, hospitality, and lifestyle.
Rae revealed that she did not initially see herself as a businesswoman. “I thought the business side was the worst part,” she admitted. Building companies and partnerships soon became a way to expand opportunities for others. Today, her portfolio includes a music label, a management company, coffee shops, restaurants, and a wine brand.
