The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Tisha Campbell qualifies as The Pioneer because she keeps moving first into terrain where no path exists. After decades mastering drama and television, she launched a stand-up career at a Kennedy Center debut before 4,000 people with no prior stage experience.
“The ones that were really good were the ones who told their real life story. I was like, oh, there's a thin line between drama and comedy. All I gotta do is support and ground it, and I can do it.”
“I'm at a certain age where I'm like, I'm gonna try and do everything I've ever wanted to do. Fear could stop you if you let it, but I willn't.”
“Joy is a verb. That's what my therapist said, and you gotta work on joy. You gotta make a decision to work on joy. And that's where I am in my life right now.”
