Comediennes are community griots. They make spaces for the stories that we all need to know and tell them with flare and honesty while making us laugh.
enoje (EN-oh-jay) is a community griot. In episode 44, she graces me with her brilliance, and goals for creating space for women to explore comedy for our mental health and well being. She takes her cue from her own mother's laughter. Remembering stories from her childhood of her mother and the aunties being in the kitchen telling each other stories from their day and laughing uncontrollably. Their joy is the focus of her mission. More specifically, extending that joy to as many women who are willing to join in.
enoje is the founder and director of Bish Funny, a comedy project that creates opportunities for women+. She's the host of Let 'Em Eat Laughs, a conversation series about comedians, food, and culture. enoje is an Executive Board member of the Black Women in Comedy Laff Fest in New York. And she is the host and producer of Toronto's recently launched popular comedy series, Ladies Love Cool Jokes.
