Jaboukie Young-White

There's a lot of times when I just want to scream into the void.

I go through my tweets while writing and be like, 'Oh, this has staying power and is still relevant.'

I accomplished a lot in 2017 that I'd dreamt of: a late night set, TV writing gig, a speaking movie role.

I'm friends with Kehlani - she's a LGBTQ icon.

I love Mykki Blanco.

I love St. Vincent. She is like our queer rock goddess and that's so needed.

Is socialism still for me if I'm a millennial millionaire?

But I do have one real problem with socialism: I like money.

Seriously, you can't talk socialism in America without going to the OG, Sen. Bernie Sanders.

On a 1 to 10 scale, I don't think that I could model, but I could definitely end a Republican senator's career.

One time I spent more than $40 on groceries, and my bank thought someone stole my debit card.

Why do we still use paper to vote? Paper is over!

Voting is designed for old people.

You want young people to vote, make Election Day a national holiday.

I think we're past the point in entertainment where you can have one thing and explode. If you have one thing, people ask, 'All right, what else?' You have to be multihyphenate.

Whatever I'm writing has seemed to be about something I don't feel I could freely express in my everyday life, and stand-up is a really effective medium for getting people to hear exactly the things and viewpoints that they normally don't want listen to.

When I started out in stand-up, I was already used to speaking in front of people, how to project, control my voice - a lot of learning curves I had overcome.

I never feel like it'll be something where like, 'Aha, I've got it. I'm funny for the rest of my life. I don't need to tell jokes anymore. I just am comedy.'

Developing a following and maintaining that is so much free labor - just for the love of it.

I use Twitter as a writing tool a lot.
