INSECURE star Issa Rae is Engaged.

Issa Rae is engaged to her longtime love Louis Diame . This news was confirmed by her co-stars Jay Ellis and Yvonne Orji. Diame is from Senegal.

Issa Rae character and career grew from web series called Awkward Black Girl and especially grew with her role in the Hate U Give.

                            

Issa thanked Essence Magazine on Instagram for standing by her throughout her career growth.
   

    "Four years ago, when all I had was a web series and a book, @Essence put me on my first cover with four incredible women I look up to: Ava, Mara, Shonda and Ms. Debbie. It was their "Game Changers" issue and I kept thinking, "I can't believe they chose me." That cover meant so much to me because it validated my work on a platform I respected AND it was a nurturing recognition of promise, a promise that I didn't necessarily see in myself at the time. Four years later -- entering the fourth season of my TV show, and shooting my fourth movie in New York -- they honored me with this solo cover. Thank you, Essence, for helping me to deliver on that promise you saw years ago, and changing the game for me."

Congratulations Issa!!
