• ‟ There's so many, 'no, black people aren't like that' barriers in mainstream media.

  - Issa Rae

  - Issa Rae
  

• ‟ People are tired of mainstream media's limited and confined portrayal of people of color.

  - Issa Rae
  

• ‟ People are willing to support and watch web series as a legitimate form of entertainment.

  - Issa Rae
  

• ‟ I don't think the mainstream media understands people of color are multidimensional. For some reason, there's an idea that only white people are relatable. I don't think it's necessarily racist. But it's odd, because the people who watch the most television are black women, so we should be represented in more ways.

  - Issa Rae
  

• ‟ I don't like to be overexposed. Too many articles, too many tweets, too many posts, I just don't like that. But at the same time, we live in a culture where that's almost necessary. People want content and they want their stuff when they want it.

  - Issa Rae
  

• ‟ I think that just because the show is titled 'Awkward Black Girl' and it is a predominantly black cast doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to relate to these people. We're all human beings. We all essentially go through the same things when it comes down to it, so I don't I think that should limit who watches it.

  - Issa Rae
  

• ‟ 'Awkward Black Girl' is spreading to all the right people because of word of mouth and social networks. I'm so grateful.
