Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it has not been smooth at all but why would it be 🤣😂 I’m a plus-size black single mom who does clean comedy that can go to a church club and funeral and make people laugh until the pain is gone!

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a Clean Christian Comedian who loves to tell the truth have fun and tell a story about my life and those close to me that makes it relatable to their own life just through laughter! That’s the difference me and GOD have a real thang going on well at least in my eyes. I think his blinking and asking for help, lol.

My most proudest moment was watching my son perform on stage with Lil Nas X on the Grammys this year! Yep, I created a dancing machine his name is Jakevis Thomason ok Jesus look at us, lol.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Yes, I believe in being a risk taker! I purchased a house during the pandemic now that’s risky and half crazy! Lol. But I kept saying to myself, I will prosper in the pandemic! I buckled down just like Covid did us got my credit together said affirmations and umm the fact my neighbors performed like true xrated porn stars every night gave me the extra push I needed to take the risk and babbbbbby I’m glad I did!
