Frankie Benz, a secret comedy writer for 10 years incorporating her corporate D&I and Cybersecurity public speaking engagement with comedy (flying under the radar of her executives). That flying transformed into a leap off the cliff of corporate America into a successful comedy career performing at clubs and theaters such as Live Nation's House of Blues venues, clubs all over Texas and New York, and successfully producing and show-running her own D&I focused comedy shows with Live Nation. Her comedy explores walking as an Afro Latina leader in corporate America to leveraging her hood background become a successful entrepreneur. She has performed twice for Kenan Thompson's Comedy Showcase.
