¶ … young to tell my story, since so much of it has not yet been written, but I will approach this by telling it backwards. I'm pursuing stand-up comedy, and been opener at a comedy club twice this past year, and doing shows wherever and whenever I can find an open mic. There's an improv troupe on Saturdays at a local theater -- I love improv and it makes my stand-up better. I have a real passion for stand-up. I didn't choose comedy; it chose me.
When I came out of the comedy closet, I pursued it aggressively. That's put me in the local newspaper, and I've placed as the only female in a local comedy competition, was part of the best improv comedy group -- in general, things have been working out very well for me. And yet, I've accomplished nothing. I need new ventures, new things to hunt and new places to conquer. The more I learn, and the more voices I hear, the more I am inspired.

I look back now and realize that these were the roots of my passion for comedy. All these little things, leading to the moment where I am now. Wow ... here I am.
There's a lot that makes me interesting. At face value, I'm biracial Black and Japanese. If you ask my friends, they would probably tell you about my baking and cooking skills. Food is a good medium for expression, and if I wasn't a comedian I'd probably be in the kitchen with all those misfits. I almost did -- I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 2009 and was close to attending the French Culinary Institute for Pastry in 2014. It didn't work out, but that's because I was clearly meant to be somewhere else. I still earn my living making the best cupcakes in the city, as a head baker at the bakery the Lone Ranger's wife owns.
I wrote and directed a short film "The Bagel Chronicle." That was a lot of fun -- I collaborate...
