History
[edit]Issa Rae was inspired to create The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl in January 2009 while working at New Federal Theatre[1] in New York City.[2] Experiencing difficulty in meeting people in an unfamiliar place, Issa Rae decided that it would be entertaining to depict uncomfortable scenarios one may experience when dealing with others.[3] Neglecting the idea for 2 years, Issa Rae's interest was renewed after reading an article by Leslie Pitterson[4] pointing out the absence of black female nerd characters on screen.[5] She then called on friends to shoot the first episode.[3] The series went viral through word of mouth, blog posts, social media and media coverage.[6] In an effort to fund the rest of the season, Issa Rae and producer Tracy Oliver[7] decided to raise money for the series through Kickstarter.[8] On August 11, 2011 they were awarded $56,269 from 1,960 donations.[9] Due to the popularity of the series, Issa Rae has been interviewed by Fredricka Whitfield for CNN Newsroom, Michel Martin for Tell Me More, Associated Press and other media outlets.[5][10][11]
