When comedian Elsa Eli Waithe (High Bible Stories) made the cover of the New York Post, on July 8, 2016, it was not funny at all. The photograph of her arrest, at a Black Lives Matter rally, with the headline “Fury” in bold letters- documented one of the most traumatic days of her life. Elsa discusses the turning point in which she went from being politically apathetic to becoming an activist making front page news. (Comedy has everything to do with it).
