In an editorial for Hannah magazine published Wednesday, the “Insecure” actress channels three black women who have made major contributions to music: Nina Simone, Solange, and Missy Elliott.

Styled by fashion team Wayman and Micah and photographed by Elton Anderson Jr., Rae captured the ethereal grace of Solange, the deep power of Simone, and the undeniable cool of Elliott in the photo series.
