In this powerful and funny episode of Comedy Is The Cure, host Taquita Love reconnects with longtime friend and actor Nyema Tannenbaum—they met in David A. Arnold’s “Art of Stand-Up” class and have been sharing stages and stories ever since.
Nyema opens up about her experiences in the healthcare system, from being left alone in the ER while men went to get snacks, to the moment she finally had health insurance and went all in on taking care of herself.
She shares why she believes Black women’s pain is constantly minimized, and how she’s using her voice to push for change—with humor, honesty, and heart.
Nyema is known for her roles in “David A. Arnold: Fat Ballerina”, “DOGS! The Musical”, and “Pundits”, and continues to use her platform to spotlight real issues affecting women of color.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
