Strap in, gang. It’s going to be a long one. ❤ Women Shining Early in my comedy career, I noticed that female comedians were largely relegated to “girl” shows. There were a handful of about five or six women (myself included) whom I would regularly see on stages throughout the scene. Outside of that handful,Continue reading “On White Feminism and Girl’s Girls…”

On People and Posts…
In my late teens/early 20s, I would publicly rage online against anyone I felt deserved it. My college bestie was dating my crush behind my back? Shitpost. My pastor was a closeted asshole? Passive aggressive Bible verse. The party I didn’t vote for did exactly what they said they would? Meme. I was a hero.Continue reading “On People and Posts…”
On Believing in Yourself…
One time after I sang at church, a woman told me that my voice was incredibly beautiful. She let me know that she was quite the singer herself and told me whatever the Christian version of “game recognize game” is. I was extra flattered that someone who actually knew music thought I sang well andContinue reading “On Believing in Yourself…”
On Envy…
Have you ever had friends that were so incredible and successful and caring in every conceivable way? A way that just filled your heart with pure rage? Well, I’d like you to meet Raajiee, Ben and Akeem and let the hate flow through you… I Hate my Friends Less than 24 hours ago, one ofContinue reading “On Envy…”
On Being Hard to Love…
I don’t have any game. None. I am the sidewalk before someone draws the hopscotch on it. Once, I locked eyes with a guy I had never met, smiled and uttered the word “Hi!” and he immediately responded with “You’re… A LOT!” I am So Much. Like I am So A Lot. Something I oftenContinue reading “On Being Hard to Love…”
On Sacred Spaces…
A Church, A Bar and A Car Up until I was 16, essentially every space I found myself in was religious in one way or another. A church. A Bible study. A private Christian school. I wasn’t really allowed to venture outside the Protestant sphere. Religious meant “sacred”. The problem was: those spaces never feltContinue reading “On Sacred Spaces…”
On Ranjini Aunty…
You know in the movies when they do a flashback to someone’s childhood? There’s a particular lighting and it’s in slow motion. Always in some grass field. There’s a child running around without a care in the world playing with daisies. I always wondered why White people left their children to roam alone in fieldsContinue reading “On Ranjini Aunty…”
On What We Owe Ourselves…
I am in therapy because duh. A few months ago, my therapist and I figured out that most of what I do is based on what I believe I owe my fellow man. So, my homework for that week was to try and make a list of what I owe myself. A Break I wasContinue reading “On What We Owe Ourselves…”
On Vaccines & Covid…
This is an intentional clickbait title because I am shameless. If my pastor and/or employer is reading this…I hope you’re not suffering too big of a heart attack right now; I’ll be nice, I promise. COVID … IS A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY!!! Jk jk jk. We have entered the 3rd year of a global pandemic. IContinue reading “On Vaccines & Covid…”
On Hair…
A special post written by my big sister! 🙂 Hair and feelings I have often heard that having a child forces one to reckon with their past traumas and current triggers. I was ready for the things I had prepared for (the mother wound, imposter syndrome, overall new mom pressure etc…). What I was notContinue reading “On Hair…”
