Issa Rae is making moves, sharing her stories, and leaving her mark on the entertainment industry.
The 38-year-old actress and producer recently appeared on *Good Morning America* to talk about mentorship and inclusion, all while looking effortlessly stylish in a cream crochet outfit by LESET. As she arrived at the studio, she wore a $420 LESET Lucy tank top paired with a matching high-waisted crochet miniskirt. Keeping her look sleek and monochromatic, she completed the ensemble with nude patent leather Stuart Weitzman open-toe heels.
Adding a touch of contrast, she carried a $3,500 Gucci Calfskin Diana bag, featuring the brand’s signature interlocking GG logo, bamboo top handles, and gold hardware—an elegant complement to her outfit.
During the interview, the Stanford graduate spoke eloquently about the importance of mentorship. She reflected on her own journey, explaining that she didn’t have traditional mentors early on but instead found guidance and support from her peers. Now, having achieved success in the industry, she’s focused on creating opportunities for others.
As the conversation wrapped up, she shared her biggest piece of advice: embrace what makes you unique. She emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself, especially in professional settings, rather than conforming too much to corporate culture. According to Rae, individuality plays a crucial role in shaping one’s path to success.
