MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Issa Rae says she feels that women’s voices have been amplified in film and television, and she’s happy to be part of the group leading the change and opening doors for others.
The Golden Globe-nominated actress says she thinks “there’s a renaissance in so many different ways.” She spoke Friday at NFL’s Women’s Summit in Minneapolis.
She says women have “a newly rediscovered power.”
Rae created, produces and stars in HBO’s “Insecure.” Her remarks came on the heels of Greta Gerwig’s Oscar nomination for best director with “Lady Bird,” making her just the fifth woman nominated for the prize.
