Drawn Together: On Comedy

Comedy is more than just entertainment — it’s a powerful force for truth, reflection, and connection. While it brings joy and laughter, comedy also has the unique ability to challenge societal norms, spark radical creativity, and build bridges between people. How can humor be a tool for fostering deeper belonging and bold imagination? Join Dr. Lanita Jacobs, author of To Be Real: Truth and Racial Authenticity in African American Standup Comedy, and comedian and actress Dulcé Sloan for a thought-provoking conversation on comedy as a catalyst for truth-telling, cultural insight, and collective joy. Together, they’ll explore how humor can open minds, inspire change, and help shape a more inclusive world — one laugh at a time.
