The Tea with Myriam Francois14 Mar 2025

From Punchlines to Palestine: Speaking Truth to Power

Comedian Jen Brister is known for her razor-sharp wit, but in this explosive conversation with Myriam François, she swaps punchlines for political firepower.

Jen doesn’t hold back. She’s lost work, faced a backlash, and been shadowbanned—but refuses to be silenced. This isn’t just about Palestine—it’s about truth, resistance, and the war on our collective consciousness.
