JABOUKIE YOUNG-WHITE

The Internet has created so many niche audiences that when millions or even thousands of people can be on the same page it's a truly special thing.

Voting is designed for old people.

My favorite topical tweets are the ones that put a tweet in context so it illuminates a deeper truth or societal trend.

For me, I didn't really have family that was in entertainment. I didn't really grow up with an uncle that's a TV writer or something, so I didn't even know that it was possible at all. I slowly learned more about it and ended up here. I want people to not be discouraged by the fact that they don't have a legacy in Hollywood that's bringing them in.

The news can by very cyclical. The same issues are coming up over and over and over again.

Is socialism still for me if I'm a millennial millionaire?

Twitter is comedy writing. It's one-liners that give way to fully fleshed-out thoughts.

I just try to do things that make me excited. If I can find a way to surprise myself, then that's when I'm really excited to share something and really can stand behind it.

Developing a following and maintaining that is so much free labor - just for the love of it.

I'm friends with Kehlani - she's a LGBTQ icon.

I went to Catholic schools my entire life and never had anything close to a cis heterosexual sexual education let alone a queer one. Everything I learned was trial and error or the Internet or 'Talk Sex with Sue Johanson.'

That is what I got into comedy for, to be able to challenge myself and just grow as a comedian and find new ways to be funny.

For memes, I have an entire iPhone folder of photos that I've taken or saved because I find something about them hilarious.

I love St. Vincent. She is like our queer rock goddess and that's so needed.

The urge to push the concept of sex and sexuality into the fringes of the human experience is so bizarre to me.

As a gay person, I'm used to speaking on gay issues. As a black person, I'm used to speaking on black issues.

Amazon's been around for 24 years, and now they're doing what any 24-year-old does: move to New York and gentrify a neighborhood.

I think pop music was going through a phase where it was like pop but dance-hall or pop but R&B. But, no, I just want a pop song.

I accomplished a lot in 2017 that I'd dreamt of: a late night set, TV writing gig, a speaking movie role.

I go through my tweets while writing and be like, 'Oh, this has staying power and is still relevant.'

When I started out in stand-up, I was already used to speaking in front of people, how to project, control my voice - a lot of learning curves I had overcome.
