This episode is FUN. Jess and Jess talk with Yasmin Elhady about what her life has been like as an Egyptian Libyan refugee growing up in Alabama. Yasmin was the recipient of much school bullying and used her interest in Saturday Night Live sketches to arm herself at school- and it worked!
Yasmin shares candidly about her experiences on her childhood, white privilege, the overwhelm of motherhood, and how she works out what is happening in her life on stage as a stand up comedian. 

Meet Yasmin!
Yasmin Elhady is a comedian & attorney who has toured all over the US & UK. She’s performed at The Kennedy Center and is featured on NBC’s True Story with Ed Helms and Randall Park, now streaming on Peacock. You can catch her stand up comedy on TikTok and her comedic skits on IG. She’s also appeared locally on WUSA9 with Reese Waters, NPR, The Washington Post, TEDx, and in Vice Media’s book “Little
America: Incredible True Stories of Immigrants in America,” which was later turned into an Apple TV+ series by Kumail Nanjiani. She was just named a 2022 “Yes, And...Laughter Lab” finalist for comedy & social justice.
