Summary

A few weeks before the quarantine began, Jo sat down to talk with comedian Yamaneika Saunders about her busy life: everything from performing stand-up in Las Vegas to filming a music video with Debbie Gibson and the trick to not being abducted by shady cab drivers. Yam also emphasizes the importance of making your own happiness in life and giving love to people whenever you can, even if they're a mean waitress at CPK. You can find Yamaneika on Twitter and Instagram at @yamaneika and Jo on Instagram at @yoyofirestone. Check out Jo on Cameo in benefit Food Bank for NYC at https://www.cameo.com/jofirestone8.
