We thought it was really dope that while some black stars might experience a Cosmo cover as a sign of successfully crossing over in Hollywood — Issa is adamant how important the black community is to her.

“I want to be a pop culture staple—a black pop culture staple,” she says. “I want to have an impact on my community. Everything I’ve done has been for—and in thinking of—black people, and I don’t take this moment lightly. I want to do right by us, at the end of the day.”

YES Queen Issa!
