I’m really passionate about comedy in general, but there’s something special about black female comedians. Comedy is a powerful tool to raise awareness, poke fun at the struggles of the world, and find common ground with others through laughter. Black women have been doing it for years, from early pioneers like Moms Mabley to modern queens like Leslie Jones.

“To be black and female in America is to be in a constant state of rage.” –bell hooks

This quote, from one of the most influential black feminist writers of our time, gets at the heart of the black female experience in a country where racism and sexism are still very much alive. Black women are often left out of conversations about race and gender and feminism, even though we experience all three on a daily basis. We have to deal with judgmental looks when we go into upscale stores. We have to deal with racist insults while walking down the street. We have to deal with being called “angry” and “hostile” when we speak up about our experiences.

But black women are also some of the fiercest, funniest, most resilient people in this country. We find ways to laugh through the pain, whether it’s through humor or music or dance. In honor of Black History Month, here are just a few examples.
