## Resource

Munya Chawawa is one of the sharpest and funniest voices on social media, known for his brilliantly observant takes on society, politics and the news cycle.  In this Great Moment, he explains why the real satisfaction in comedy comes from holding up a mirror to society - and getting people to question the world around them. For Munya, comedy is more than entertainment. It’s a language we all share, and a powerful way to start conversations about the things that can be hardest to talk about. Because sometimes the best way to make people think… is to make them laugh first. Listen to the full episode HERE !
