This was brave, thoughtful, engaging, AND funny as heck!
Bravo. It takes guts, tenacity and endurance to stand on a stage after everything that's happened on the platform that was part of the controversy and bare one's truth and curate intimate aspects of your life in lyrical vignettes of honesty.
...x10 if you are a BLACK WOMAN.
...x20 if you are a BLACK WOMAN undervalued in your industry.
...x30 if you are a BLACK WOMAN undervalued in your industry, getting cold shoulders for SEVERAL YEARS
...x40 if you are a BLACK WOMAN undervalued in your industry, getting cold shoulders for SEVERAL YEARS, and being ridiculed by your peers for ADVOCATING for yourself.
Mo'Nique being funny is a given. In a heartbeat she has/can/will continue delivering topical laughter, with truth, love and honesty that hits you straight in the guts... #facts
AND she (imho) is one of those few comedians that in an evening of comedy solo or with the likes of ANY of the greatest Comedians alive or dead can hold her own (from Moms Mabley to Pryor to Carlin to Murphy to Katt TO Chappelle)
But this special needed to be exactly what it was...about HER, in HER TRUTH allowing us to get to know HER (if you are new to her) or reminding us of who the bleep SHE IS.
I'm so happy she DID this and looking forward to so much more!
BRAVO BRAVE SISTER!!!!
