In this episode of Girl, You So Random, I had the pleasure of talking with Rose-Ingrid Benjamin. She was raised in Ottawa and is a member of the Haitian diaspora settled in what is commonly known as Canada. She has clearly taken disappointing her Haitian mother as a calling as she has followed the dopamine to a new career every few years. From singer to preacher to actor to writer and now comedian, Rose-Ingrid has left no stone unturned as they subconsciously attempt to make up for her lack of medical degree by collecting hyphenates. They have performed stand-up in across Canada and the US, including Lady Fest Montreal, Sweet & Salty Comedy Tour, Laugh Riot Girrrl, and Portland Maine Comedy Festival.

In this episode of Girl, You So Random, I had the pleasure of talking with Mia, a Baltimore-based comedian. Her dry humor explores the absurdities of family life, relationships, politics, and everything in between. As an anti-magnum condom activist and promoter of female infidelity (because her grandmothers were too), she brings a unique perspective to the stage. Mia has been featured at the Baltimore Comedy Festival, Black Girls Giggles Fest and venues along the east coast and south.

In this episode of Girl, You So Random, I had the pleasure of talking with Terra K, a comedian, improviser, and actor from Cincinnati. Terra is hilariously energetic with material that is autobiographical and silly, pulling from a lifetime of embarrassing moments.

In this episode of Girl, You So Random, I wrap up season 7 of the podcast. I wanted to talk about the lack of female mentorship among female comedians and how it is our task to mentor other female comedians. We can't complain about the lack of opportunities male comedians aren't given us or the ones we aren't given, when we have the opportunity to create them for ourselves with the help of each other. It's not just the men, quote on quote, holding us back! Often times, it is us!!!
