Are you one of the socially awkward types? The kind of person who struggles to make new friends, dreads public speaking and wonders when is the appropriate time to speak when you see someone at the end of a hallway?
Some of you can relate; but if you can’t, you’ll still get a kick out of Issa Rae’s webseries “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl.”
In addition to dealing with her struggling social graces, Issa Rae, who plays “J” in the series deals with obnoxious colleagues, a boss who unknowingly makes racist statements and a co-worker who cannot take a hint. (Even though she did kind of sleep with him. No judgment.) It’s funny and it deals with the real life issues we [all] go through.
