As a little tomboy, comedian Brianna Baker felt pressure to use the boy’s bathroom in order to avoid people’s outrage. Her over the top grandmother Phyllis even offered her $200 to dress up like a lady. Ironically, this little girl that passed for boy grew up to be a tall gorgeous woman.
Today we’re chatting with Brianna Baker, one of Chicago’s rising comics. Her one woman show “Bede” that recounts her life as a biracial tombow growing up in a small town has gotten a lot of critical acclaim.

Brianna’s beautiful! Rock it, girl!
Also, her gender-nonconforming childhood reminds me: are you guys going to have CJ’s mom back on the show when her book comes out? http://www.amazon.com/Raising-My-Rainbow-Adventures-Fabulous/dp/0770437729/ref=wl_mb_hu_c_4_dp 🙂
