Welcome to Dussé and Backwoods, the bougie ebonics podcast. I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!! Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/FB: @Tungotjokes www.actritelosangeles.com Sponsored by: High Tide Tours LA @hightidetoursla In this episode, DAB is joined by the lovely Hassani Cromwell!(@heyhassani). The Los Angeles native is an entrepreneur, comedy manager, event producer, stand-up connoisseur, and "The Queen Behind The Scenes." Hassani gives us a little background of her early life growing up in the West Adams area of Los Angeles. She was that "black girl that played soccer" as she mentioned she played the sport for 12 years. Hassani studied at Arizona State University where she received her B.A. in Sociology and a double minor in Africana Studies & Mass Communication. She talks about her love for the show "The Game" specifically Wendy Raquel Robinson's character, Tasha Mack and her boss mentality. Hassani then details her rise in comedy and her aspirations to work in Hollywood. She worked at the Laugh Factory for a few years and started producing her own shows shortly thereafter at venues such as The Ice House & The Comedy Union. She talks managing egos and setting boundaries in a male dominated industry. Hassani shares a conversation she had with Dave Chappelle during the time she worked at the Laugh Factory. Our favorite segment of DAB, "Marry One, F*** One, Kill One" is back and this week's theme is boss figures in entertainment. This is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of Dussé and Backwoods. Yay! Yay!
