Black Girl Funny World with Faith Alpher

Published: Aug. 10, 2020, noon

Faith Alpher is my guest today, on this very poignant day, Juneteeth, 2020. 

In Faith's one woman sold-out show, Black Girl. Funny World, Faith portrays 25 different characters. It’s Intimate, humorous and heartwarming, showing traces of her life story and the many challenges she has faced and overcame. She has performed throughout the New York City and San Francisco Bay Area.

When I thought about all the questions I wanted to ask Faith, I realized that everything I wanted to talk about was in her show.  We talked about her experience in Catholic school, about being in an interracial marriage and having white in-laws, about hair (of course, HAIR!), and about Black Lives Matter.  

This was a very special interview for me. Faith's words and laughter went straight to my heart. Faith is the person who changes your life when she tells you her story. 

This is a heart broken wide open moment.

Listen in.
