“I feel like I’m the Lil’ Kim of comedy..she was very pretty but she still came out like a gangsta…she wasn’t trying to find the balance of being a gangsta and being a woman, she was like ‘this is who I am, I am beautiful, I am sexy, but I am also — I grew up in the hood I’m from the streets’…she was her true authentic self,” new comedian Kai Von Doom says about her creative inspiration.
She joins us to talk about her comedy and screen writing aspirations, what it was like moving between majority black and majority white environments from high school to college, and how this is reflected in the work she’s creating. We also talk “man-bashing,” her album cover recreation project, and Kanye West.
Listen for her advice to young black women who want to pursue comedy.
