The Witty Truth-Teller with a Heart of Gold
Queens get tired, but they don’t retire—and neither do I.
You know the deal—we’re all out here trying to keep the lights on, the kids fed, and the government from stepping too hard on our dreams. My humor? It’s the truth with punchlines. I’ve spent decades calling out BS with a grin, and if you don’t like it, well, we’ll just laugh a little louder. At home, it’s the same dance: negotiating bedtime with toddlers, debating pronouns with your spouse, and yes, occasionally quoting Aretha Franklin mid-argument. My job? Make you laugh. My mission? Make damn sure you’re still standing when the curtain drops.
What I'm Into: Decoding white people, My wife’s ‘creative’ GPS, The PTA (no relation to my other ‘people, time, and applesauce’ hustle), The Black church on Sunday, The struggle made funny
