Headline: Issa Rae scraps Kennedy Center appearance after Donald Trump's takeover
Caption: Earlier this week, President Trump announced that he had been elected chairman of the national centre for performing arts based in Washington, D.C. The news came just days after he ousted a number of board members appointed by former U.S. President Joe Biden, including the organisation's longtime president, Deborah F. Rutter. In light of Trump's new role, several artists have distanced themselves from the centre and cancelled upcoming appearances. Actress, comedian and writer Issa took to Instagram on Thursday to announce that her upcoming event at the Kennedy Center, An Evening With Issa Rae, had been cancelled.
