As The Dinah 2019 approaches, the organizers recently announced Fortune Feimster and Chaunte Wayans as this year’s comedy show headliners.
Both out comedians are making huge waves in the comedy world, appearing in feature films and on hit TV shows across major networks, collaborating with the likes of Chelsea Handler and Katt Williams, and releasing stand up specials on Comedy Central and Netflix.
Both women are wonderful examples of never holding back your talents and powering through to find massive success in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
