Caroline Brew editor The audience at CultureCon was quick to correct the mispronunciation of Issa Rae‘s name during an onstage conversation on Saturday. “You guys know a lot about Issa Rae for all the incredible work that she’s done,” interviewer Glenda McNeal said, pronouncing Rae’s name “Ih-suh.” The audience interrupted McNeal by shouting the correct pronunciation — “Ee-suh” — to which McNeal corrected herself, while Rae laughed and looked down into her lap. As the crowd continued to shout their corrections, McNeal said, “I’m part of the community, honey, it’s okay” to clarify her racial background.
