What are you most proud of?

I am proud of following my dreams to be a comedian. I decided to enter the entertainment field after I turned 30 and have not looked back. I knew that I was at a disadvantage because I was older and a woman, but I have persevered and continue to learn and accomplish more than I could ever dream.

“I have persevered and continue to learn and accomplish more than I could ever dream”

What do you hope to accomplish in the near future?

Using my comedy to deal with grief is something that I could not have ever fathomed. I believed that God has placed me on a new path, and I hope to continue speaking and using my comedy to uplift others. Having an opportunity to have a special on Comedy Central or Netflix would not be so bad either!

What has been your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?

My biggest challenge has been dealing with the loss of my significant other. I cannot say that I have “overcome” it per se, but I am proud to say that I am working through it and finding ways to make life more manageable. I believe that being a comedian has allowed me to deal with this loss in a unique way.
