Next up is Brandi Denise.
I never knew I was listening to a form of comedy, but I loved them.
I remember after that, I kept a notebook where I began to write my own comedy parodies.
I think that was when I first began my journey with enjoying being funny.
And recently, FAMU named me one ofFAMUs 40 Under 40alumni.
FAMU really shaped me and showed what Black excellence is and can be!
Which comedians career trajectory would you most like to follow?Wanda Sykes!
She has had her own TV shows, has hosted, and still pushes out banging specials.
And Adam Sandler he does what he wants.
He transitioned from comedy to drama effortlessly and works with his friends.
Thats the goal with my people!
My baby sister in the back is still clapping and being supportive.
Then a group of large women start to heckle me.
I tell one of them to hush before I take her, man.
I said she was shaped like a chicken leg: large at the top and small at the bottom.
They start booing; my sister screams STFU!
I go to my car with my sister, sit down, and cry really hard.
I wipe my face, then go inside to the bathroom to clean up.
As Im in the stall, I hear them talking crap about beating me the fuck up.
He bought me a shot.
It can help because I trust my own instincts; Im fearless onstage.
But it can hurt too because I dont always remember every punch line I said every time.
I transcribed my jokes when I needed to flush the bit out.
For the most part, I bullet-point my sets.
I learned how to spend money quickly!
But after that, I realized investing and saving are just as important when you start making money.
And also, always know how to go get a bag real quick when its necessary.
Hit the road, sell merch, or get a branding deal.
Always have other moneymaking ways on the table!
And my eyes are huge!
Either you like me or I look like a SpongeBob character to you.
But its great for TV, so you figure it out, lol.
what hill will you die on?Black women can not be racist!
We are at the bottom of everything, so miss me with that.
So check that your spirit is right and you know yourself and stay grounded.
Because those things will be your downfall if you arent.
I got a financial adviser; a great supportive, non-hating tribe; and a therapist.
This boat aint rockin no time soon.
We are sturdy over here.
Well, I would say his name, but youve probably never heard of him.
Like I said cant rock this boat, baby!
