We're still reeling from Issa Rae's epic summer wedding announcement, and rightfully so, because she made for one of the most beautiful brides ever. For her latest cover story, the Insecure star and creator sat down with SELF magazine's Leta Shy to discuss how married life has been treating her. "I'm extremely happy," she said about her marriage to husband Louis Diame. Issa also shared her thoughts about the age-old question about starting a family. "I like my life, I like this selfishness, and I know that I have a window," she continued. "I want to do as much as I can while I still can."

Issa, who's been known to keep her private life under wraps, nearly broke the internet after she shared the news of her stunning South of France wedding back in July. Though her nuptials were bound to make headlines no matter how she announced them, she was still determined to make them known in a way that honored her privacy. "I still try to be private about my personal life, but that was something that I knew was going to be shared, and I just wanted to share it on my own terms," she said. "There's something really nice to have a piece of me that no one knows about or no one can talk about except for the people that are part of my life."

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
