Comedian and activist Elsa Waithe moved to New York City in 2013 from Virginia.

Power poses; sleeping outside to audition for NBC; the 4Ps—perimenopause, pregnancy, periods, puberty!; loving your B.O.; love at first sniff; the banal horrors of the New Yorker; trapping a lactating cat; Dodge is the Planned Parenthood of feral cats; growing "out" in NYC; working in a mall portrait studio; Elsa's xtreme meet-cute; getting arrested for activism; WTF is Snapchat; saying yes to opportunity; getting injured by cops' brutality.
