Laughter & Liberation: Comedy as a Tool of Hope


Comedy exists as a tool of resilience, critique, and hope—especially in times where resistance is necessary. Kausar Mohammed, a queer Muslim comedian, actor, and writer, and equity consultant, explores how comedy serves as a mechanism for change and self-liberation in systems currently dominated by white patriarchal, cis-gendered norms. Through a blend of storytelling, personal reflection, and comedic showcases, we will explore what it means to reclaim liberation through laughter.
