This interview is an exploration into how she found that sense of confidence and her journey to becoming an artist, strategic thinker, and a woman set on uplifting other black people. After discussing her upbringing in Baltimore with her entertainer family, she shared her comedian origin story and talked about her first time producing a comedy show. We dig into the perils of putting other relationships above the relationship we have with ourselves – especially as black women- as well as the importance of champagne and nachos for breakfast sometimes. We covered so much ground in this interview, it was really tough to edit – I didn’t want to leave anything out! Just know that I have some “another nuggets from Nekia” videos I’m going to have to post too. 😊
