No Soft Pedals: Lynn Harris on Humor, Advocacy, and Saying the Thing

We kick off a new year and season of TRUTH TASTES FUNNY as Hersh sits down with Lynn Harris - a culture-shifting producer, award-winning journalist, and author/co-author of six books, whose comedy and campaigns for social justice and gender equity have changed laws and conversations from Capitol Hill to NASCAR. Lynn is founder and CEO of GOLD Comedy—the comedy school, professional network, and content studio where women and non-binary folks grow their comedy careers, build powerful communities, and make funny stuff. She co-created Breakup Girl (acquired by Oxygen), one of the first multiplatform internet success stories, and served as the first VP of communications at global human rights group Breakthrough, where her blend of humor and advocacy powered some of the team’s most effective U.S. campaigns.
