Hello Friends,
In case you missed it, Issa Rae was on the red carpet at the Emmys in September 2017 when she said "I'm Rooting for Everybody Black." Cortney Lamar Charleston made a poem about that.
Enjoy.

— Issa Rae
Everybody Black is my hometown team. Everybody Black
dropped the hottest album of the year, easy. Everybody Black
is in this show, so I'm watching. Everybody Black is in this movie,
so I'm watching. Everybody Black wore it better, tell the truth.
Everybody Black's new book was beautiful. How you don't
know about Everybody Black?! Everybody Black mad
underrated. Everybody Black remind me of someone I know.
I love seeing Everybody Black succeed. I hope Everybody Black
get elected. Everybody Black deserves the promotion more than
anybody. I want Everybody Black to find somebody special.
Everybody Black is good peoples. Everybody Black been through
some things. Everybody Black don't get the credit they're due. I met
Everybody Black once and they were super chill and down-to-earth.
I believe in Everybody Black. There's something about Everybody Black.
