When people ask me when did I become an advocate for the disabled community; it’s hard to answer that. I don’t know when I became an advocate to be honest. I just knew one day I woke up and was tired of being treated like a second class citizen and being mistreated because of the way God made me. The challenges I’ve had to overcome is school because it takes me a while to retain a large amount of information. I’ve had to fuss and cuss about accommodations that are reasonable and I still have to fuss and cuss because businesses do not think about people like me.
When it comes to comedy I’ve always had a love for it. It has been my medicine my whole life. I’ve watched it since I was a little girl. It is the reason I am still living. I decided to take the leap of being a comedian December 14, 2021 when I did my first show on Zoom that was put together by Comedian Marcus Fudgins known as 50ShadesofFudge on Instagram. I wanted to be a comedian so I can heal myself and my community of depression & loneliness.
When it comes to coping & dealing with depression & sexual assault; I talk about it. I try to get out what I am feeling with people I can trust who have time for me and don’t push me away. I try to be there for people who have or is going through what I have. I’m not over my depression & sexual assault experience but I use it as a teaching tool for anybody who wants to listen and heal.
