Step into Issa Rae’s shoes for just 24 hours, and you’ll find that the Emmy-and Golden Globe-nominated actress is an early bird who rises before the sun. “I'll usually get in a workout, then I’ll sit in the dark in my office for about 30 minutes, drinking coffee while thinking, journaling, and writing,” she tells me over a Zoom call. “Each morning, I’m grateful for another chance.”
Rae calls this pre-dawn ritual her “me time,” a vital component of her evolution as a modern mogul.
