We are living in golden era of comedy. \u00a0Comedians are taking advantage of the numerous platforms from which they can deliver laughs. \u00a0What I find most refreshing about this is the large numbers of women of color who are emerging. \u00a0We all know that despite being just as funny, women, both past and present, are not afforded the same opportunities to showcase their talents and make a living from them. \u00a0So in the spirit of celebrating the comedians on the climb, I have compiled a short list of some of the funny women I am currently feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ayanna Dookie<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I was first introduced to Ayanna Dookie from <\/span>Laff Tracks<\/span><\/i>. \u00a0Her New York energy can be heard in her sharp tongue and sweet and spicy tone. \u00a0Her delightful riffs where she breaks down weird only-in-New-York style stories give you even more of an appreciation for the daily conversations you have with yourself. \u00a0She also talks a lot about being biracial – African American and Indian, as well as managing lupus. <\/span><\/p>\n
