Read the article at ComedyWham.com   This week, Yamina Khouane sits down with Valerie Lopez to talk about how comedy was her escape growing up as a shy kid in the Rio Grande Valley, what it felt like to win the Austin Chronicle Best Actress Award in 2018, and how she's gotten comfortable with her identity after years of distancing herself from it.   Yamina can be seen:
