MGA Faculty Release Issa Rae Book

Two Middle Georgia State University (MGA) faculty, Dr. Andre Nicholson and Dr. LaRonda Sanders-Senu, are among the co-editors of a new book, Insecure, Awkward, and #Winning: Intersectionality of Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Works of Issa Rae.

An anthology of works by different authors, each chapter is based on Issa Rae, an American actress, writer, producer, and comedian and one of the few Black female media owners and influencers.

“Our book focuses on how she presents Black women and men in a different perspective than what audiences have traditionally been offered,” Nicholson said.  “The book focuses on the intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality and how relatable she makes those issues in her work.”
