In the first-ever Negative Thots interview Samara Suomi and Vanessa Tortolano discuss Vanessa's performance drive as a stand-up and improv comedian, singer, dancer, overall entertainer, businesswoman, and also her role as mom. Vanessa does ALL this while recently learning about her place on the Autism Spectrum (ASD), and her long journey dealing with ADHD. Her journey started mostly in Hawaii and life was sure different on the island. They talk island influence, traveling to LA with a woman your mom might know, moms in general, the desire to perform on stage, what it's like to be a performer with a brain that's always going, and being grateful for the little things and much much more.
