Issa Rae wakes up at 4 a.m. every day. Being an early riser, she says, is her self-care. "Those couple of hours are the only time that is just mine," Rae explains. Perhaps waking at such an hour is a requirement when you're busy taking over the world.
Born Jo-Issa Rae Diop, the creator/writer/producer/actress/ entrepreneur rose to fame in 2011 with her YouTube series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. The show's massive success earned Rae a Shorty Award for Best Web Show, and spawned her hit HBO series Insecure, which aired its fifth and final season last year. This past July, when Rae was nominated for her third Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy for Insecure, it was a meaningful end to that chapter of her life. "It felt really great because our last season aired in December [2021] and I thought that people would forget about it," Rae says. "To get a nod in the last season means a lot."
Now, as she navigates a post-Insecure world, Rae is beginning her self-proclaimed "mogul era." Just this year, she premiered her new series Rap Sh!t and the second season of her reality series Sweet Life: Los Angeles, both of which are on HBO Max and produced by her media production company, Hoorae. She's also appearing in Greta Gerwig's Barbie, slated for release next summer. Her ultimate goal: owning a studio in South L.A. "That has been in the works for quite some time, so that would be like, 'Okay, I've done what I set out to do." But while she works toward that day, her career has already far exceeded her wildest dreams. "[As a kid], I knew I wanted to write, but I definitely did not have a vision of what I'm doing now," Rae says. "I just didn't know what was possible.?"-JULIANA UKIOMOGBE

In an exclusive excerpt from her memoir, men have called her crazy, Anna Marie Tendler writes about being admitted to a mental health facility. "My wish for myself is that one day I'll reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself". The nurse looks me in the eye, gives me a small but warm smile, and nods.
How to Antiage Your Dog- Could a new pill help dogs (and us) live longer?
Celine Halioua is a dog lover who studied neuroscience and nanobiotechnology. Her thesis is that the short lifespan of big dogs is like "an accelerated aging disorder, an unintended consequence of historical inbreeding for size." In an effort to correct genetic mistakes, Loyal's drug LOY-001 reduces insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), a biomarker hormone, also present in humans, that drives cell growth and is key to regulating the aging process. The hope is that it will slow down this process to a more sustainable rate, so that big dogs can have more healthy years. The injectable medication would be given by a vet every three to six months, starting at age seven, for dogs 40 pounds and up. Clinical trials are now underway for LOY-002, a daily pill for older dogs of nearly all but the smallest breeds. "Research is ongoing, but we think they will help dogs get at least one extra year of healthy living," Halioua says.
Hoyeon Takes Hollywood - With her first English-speaking role with an A-list director, the model and Squid Game alum is proving she's here to stay.
With her first English-speaking role with an A-list director, the model and Squid Game alum is proving she's here to stay. Her debut acting role in Squid Game made her a breakout star in 2021 for her magnetic performance as Kang Sae-byeok, a North Korean defector with an "I'm not here to make friends" iciness, who participates in the deadly competition to provide for her little brother. A year later, she won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Female Actor in a Drama Series. Now she has 18.8 million followers on Instagram and fans all over the world. (When a group of NYC teenage girls wearing baggy jeans spot her outside the Chinatown coffee shop we've moved to post-steak, they quiver and audibly freak out.)
