Empowerment Series: Puerto Rican Comedian, Actress, Writer, and TED Speaker, Gina Brillon Shares Life Truths with AW

Gina Brillon says, “A woman’s brain is a 24-hour thinking machine.” She is so right! The native New Yorker who grew up in the South Bronx is a dynamic, funny, and intelligent Latina who has made audiences laugh since she was 17. Her content is relatable, some would say self-deprecating, real, and hilarious! If you have seen Easily Offended, The Floor is Lava, Pacifically Speaking, or her 2020 Ted Talk, When People are Suspiciously Kind, you will agree that her talent is undeniable!

She has appeared on E!’s Chelsea Lately, The View, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham. In addition, Gina has been on Kevin Can Wait and The Conners. In 2012, she became the first and only Latina winner of NBC’s Standup for Diversity. The list of accomplishments is endless, as is her quest to make us laugh.

In EPS116, AW sits for a candid conversation with Gina to talk about living in a PC world as a Comedian, dealing with the world’s sensitivity while remaining funny, lessons learned, the journey to her best self, therapy, healing, love, dating, marriage and relationship red flags, and best advice for her younger self.
