Slow/ No response

Do not book this vendor. I should have realized that if her reviews were 3 years old, there was something wrong. Up until the booking, the vendor was responsive. After the booking, there was slow or no response. Needless to say, one week before the event, I had to cancel and find someone else! Don't waste your time and energy.

Professional and engaging

Belynda arrived early and appeared to be ready to perform. She engaged a variety of topics with appropriate humor and we were very pleased. We had a very small venue and she appeared to be comfortable with our diverse facility team.

We hired Belynda for my college graduation party. She was a hit! She was very funny and didn't miss a beat. After the show, several guests wanted to know where we found her and told us how much they enjoyed her performance. I would definitely recommend her!

Influences and inspiration

Originally I was inspired by Carol Burnett, the joy that show brought to me each week as a child, made me want to entertain and share my gift of laughter with people.
I was also heavily influenced by the mentors I had growing up. I was fortunate to have a strong foundation laid by my Sunday school teachers and serveral truly phenomenal school teachers, that not only educated but also nurtured and mentored me. As a result of the love and encouragement I received from my educators, I recognized how it had changed not only the goals and dreams I had for my adult life, it had inevitably changed the outcome of my life. My childhood was filled with trauma and challenges that affected my self esteem and personal motivation. My success was the byproduct of the role models that believed in my abilities before I realized I had any. My mentors recognized my potential and challenged me to dream big and aim high.
I was galvanized to “pay it forward” and reach back to others, especially women and children to and help them recognize their gifts and potential.

Speakers and Comedians that have influenced and inspired me are:
Terrie Williams, BerticeBerry, Trevor Noah, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah, Les Brown, Patrick Henry, Sinbad, Judy Carter, for shattering the glass ceiling Moms Mabley, Lawanda Page, Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Lilly Tomlin, Ruth Buzzy, Phyllis Diller, Lucille Ball and Gilda Radner. Other influencers are Wanda Sykes, Rosie O’Donnell, Penny Marshall, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, D.L Hughley, Flip Wilson, The Wayans Family
