Comedian Deon Cole says comedy has a role to play when it comes to addressing civil unrest and systemic racism. “Comedy is going to bring awareness to this in a light way,” Cole explains. He sits down with SoCal in 17 host Alex Cohen to explain why the issue of how Black people talk at work is important to him.
Producer Esther Lee then joins to discuss some funny personal stories in haiku form.
