A comedian describes getting pregnant after an assault, trying to joke about it before she was ready, and eventually finding a partner to help raise her child. She talks about needing family support and how friendships got her through.
I was suddenly pregnant, right? And one of my best friends at the time in comedy, I called her. I was like, I'm pregnant. I was assaulted. And that's how I ended up being a mother. I'm sorry. It's okay. Because I wanted to be a mother, not this way, you know? Okay. So I was doing well in comedy. And now I'm pregnant. And I have no family here. I've told this story before. I wrote jokes too. I wrote jokes about it and it didn't go over well because it was too real. You know what I'm saying? And my husband now, you know, God blessed me with a husband. I wanted my child to have a father. I wanted to have a husband because I never seen that dynamic, you know. Um, but because I was suddenly pregnant, right, and one of my best friends at the time in comedy, I called her. I was like, I'm pregnant. And she said the best thing she could say to me that keep me— that led me into motherhood. She's like, I ain't got no money. You know what I'm saying? That she couldn't help me because I was at the clinic at the time.
