Episode 15 of the Facial Recognition Comedy podcast features host turned stand-up comedian, and our collective crush, @iamcrystalmarie. Crystal talks about growing up in a Middle Eastern household, overcoming a public scandal in her early twenties, stereotypes based on her appearance that she has to fight, and how she got into stand-up comedy. This go-getter was incredibly inspirational to talk to, so tune in on your podcast app, iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, PlayerFM, or Spreaker!

Episode 16: Just the Three of Us

Facial Recognition Comedy is a group of stand-up comedians who identify as women of Indian, South Asian, or Arab descent. It was founded to dispel the myth that “there can only be one,” as well as to emphasize that “we are not the same person.” In our podcast, FRC founders Fizaa Dosani, Pallavi Gunalan, and Zahra Ali sit down with a new guest each week to probe their unique perspectives, as well as discuss our own history, culture, and challenges as women of color.
