Why are you a woman of color? My complexion, my heart and my soul make me such. And my parents had a hell of a lot to do with it as well, especially my mother and grandmothers, God bless their souls.  I am them and they were me. Furthermore, as a woman of color, I get to have another woman living inside of me.  You know the one everybody at work gets to see when we get mad.... One friend has Pookie visit her job at least once a week.  Another friend, who is of the religious persuasion has Beulah hanging around waiting to be called into battle.   In my case, Kizzy lives inside of me.  Get me mad, and you'll be the one singing "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've seen."

Why are you a woman of color?  Each woman defines her place and connection with the world around her. This woman of color is connected to other women/people of color by our collective intellectual, spiritual, economic, political and aesthetic consciousness borne from a shared historical experience (colonialism). My definition has brought me great joy and some disappointment. But in either case, it is where my comedy comes from.

Why are you a woman of color?  Color has always been a gray area for me.  I am half Japanese and grew up in a colorless town.  I looked different enough so kids had all sorts of names to call me including Hawaiian Punch and Eskimo neither of which make sense.  So when I went away to college I was excited to finally meet some real Asians but it turns out that in a room full of Asians, I'm white.  So I'm not quite sure where I fit in on the color spectrum.

If you could produce your own reality show what would it be? - It would be called, "Soooo, I'm Brett Favre And Y'all Probably Just Saw My Penis." The four "o"s are key. The show would have nothing to do with Brett Favre and his peen pics. Pretty much the show would just follow me around as I write snarky tweets after one of my bosses piss me off and perform comedy shows for drink tickets.

What is your favorite mode of communication? - When I'm happy with you, face-to-face; when I'm mad at you, via email from my blackberry and then I check my phone every ten minutes until I get your reply and then I wait a few hours before I write back. I know, this is ridic.com/FAQS.

411 or google? - Googs, of course.

Thong or brief? - Briefs. It's about time that VPLs (visible panty lines) made a comeback. What else are guys supposed to stare at when riding the subway? Signs about unwarranted pregnancies and hammertoe surgeries?

Who or what is your comedic inspiration? - Chris Rock, Louis CK, Wanda Sykes, Bill Burr. They're fearless and willing to say whatever pops into their heads.

What is your favorite nail color name? - Essie's "Pretty Edgy." It's not even fully committed to being edgy. I think the first rule of being edgy is owning your edginess. Nice try, Essie.

What makes you want to punch someone in the face? - When people friend me on Facebook and then "religion bomb"  my Wall with YouTube vids of crazy preachers. 

Why are you a woman of color? - Because I have the ability to co-create a Blasian. Who's ready for me to get all up in their MSG?
