Issa Rae On Having Multiple Streams Of Income: 'Because, Why The F*ck Not?'
Issa's motivation behind all of her hustles is a desire to level up her equity.
A good sis recently filled me in on the dangers of only having one hustle and I was quickly forced to reevaluate all of my life choices.
While I'm a jack of many trades, I've discovered that I haven't given myself the opportunity to be lucrative at more than one at at a time and if my one stream of income were to magically dry up, all of my other material assets would quickly evaporate into thin air and I would be out here looking crazy AF.
Even from a young age, my mom used to call me bossy. Only now do I realize that I wanted to be that. I wanted to be a boss because, why the fuck not? I liked feeling like I was working or in business. I liked feeling like a leader. And it is not always fun, by any means, but there's an element of accomplishment that I feel in executing projects."
Issa told Billboard that ultimately, her mission is to become a boss ass hybrid of Oprah, Diddy, and Ellen, who are all inspirations to the 35-year-old producer in their own right:
"I always say that I model myself after Diddy, Ellen and Oprah: Oprah for being able to diversify her businesses and being a major influencer in that way; Ellen for being able to make a business out of being herself; and Diddy for his business acumen in expanding beyond hip-hop. I've looked to them in terms of ways to make my own imprint."
