Nunca Pense!
A friend recently gave me one of the best compliments I’ve ever received. She said, “Since I’ve met you, you’ve taught me how to double down on yourself.” That line has stayed with me. It feels especially true when I think about this piece.
Nunca Pensé is a love letter to self-investment. It is a product of saying yes to my ideas before anyone else does. When I started working on “The Leopards Song,” I told myself I was going to channel the energy of J.Lo-level delusion—dreaming big, committing hard, and betting on myself with no hesitation. This piece is one of the results of that mindset, and I could not be prouder of what we made.
It took time, collaboration, and a lot of heart to bring this to life. I am incredibly grateful to every person who contributed their talent and spirit to this. It reminded me that making art is not just about the final product. It is about trusting your instincts, honoring your voice, and surrounding yourself with people who want to build something beautiful alongside you.
Thank you to everyone who has watched, shared, and supported my work. It truly means everything.

Rolling Stone: Meet the Comedian Putting Trump Voter Regret to Music
So I’m in Rolling Stone…
It is strange and thrilling to sit across from a journalist knowing they are going to try to make sense of your entire career. It’s even stranger when they actually can make sense of it.
We talked about the journey, the pivots, and the ways I have learned to use humor when the truth feels sharp. They also featured my latest piece, “The Leopards Song,” which started as a joke and quickly became a full-blown commentary on the people who vote against their own interests and then act surprised when the consequences show up at their doorstep. It has been amazing to see that piece resonate the way it has, and even more incredible to have it documented like this.
I am grateful to everyone who has watched, shared, challenged, and supported me over the years. This kind of reflection is rare. I am holding it close.
