My Take
LaWanda Page commands my deep admiration. Born Alberta Richmond in Cleveland, she built a career spanning six decades and earned the crown "Queen of Comedy" by fearlessly mining sexuality, race, and religion for laughs. I keep thinking about the sheer nerve that took, especially for a Black woman of her generation owning a room on her own terms. Her comedy wasn't safe, and that's exactly why it mattered; it carried truth inside the punchlines. She passed in 2002, but the toughness and joy of her voice still feel alive to me. Genuine, unapologetic performers like her are increasingly rare.
