![]() ![]() Q: As a woman, do you feel pressure to talk about beauty and your appearance in your stand-up?Ī: No, it's just naturally part of my life. A girl in school once told me she could feel them when she touched my face, which made me feel weird. My face looks weird if you can't see my freckles. I mostly just use bronzers and highlighters. ![]() Did you always embrace yours?Ī: I usually forget I have them-but I don't want to cover them up with foundation. Q: You have freckles, too, which are having a moment. I love the Cantu Shea Butter Curling Cream, which I found in a Walmart in Kansas when I was on the road. Thank God for black women doing YouTube videos because there aren't many white people online showing you how to deal with curly hair. Q: What would you say the curly redhead personality is?Ī: Bubbly, fiery, fun-and a little crazy.Ī: I'm still working on it. No one really knew what to do with mine.Ī: I have, and people say, "Oh my God, that looks so good." And I'm like, "Well.curly is okay, too." I know it's a superficial thing, but I do feel like my hair kind of goes with my personality. And I was a big fan of the show Felicity with Keri Russell, who had curly hair. When I was growing up, there weren't a lot of redheads on television. Why do you think that is?Ī: Red hair isn't all that common, and I think it's still a big deal for people to see other people with curly, natural hair on TV. Q: You also get a lot of comments from Daily Show viewers about your hair. I think a lot of us are just ignorant, and sometimes there's no other way to learn than by putting your own foot in your mouth. A lot of white people shy away from discussing it, but we need to. But even now on some of my Instagram posts, people will ask, "Are you black or white?"Ī: The more we're open to talking about race, the better. I think it was actually a pickup line once. Q: You've talked about how people have assumed you're African American even though you're white-do you get that a lot?Ī: I didn't until I moved to New York. ![]()
