37: Sarah Cooper on Stand-up Comedy, Leaps of Faith, Mocking Trump, and Why Everything's Going to Be Fine
If you are at a crossroads in your life, between sticking with the conventional path and taking a leap of faith in the direction of your passion, you're going to get a lot of inspiration from hearing today’s guest tell her story in her own words.
Author and comedian, Sarah Cooper’s viral TikTok Trump impersonations have led to a Netflix show called Everything’s Fine, which is a comedic commentary on the state of America during “The Trump Years.”
After working in corporate America, Sarah was eager to follow her passion and become a stand-up comedian, but it took a real leap of faith for her to go into comedy full time. When Trump was elected president, she began openly voicing her opinion about him on Twitter, so much so that the former-president blocked her in 2017.
Eventually, each time Trump would do a news briefing, the media eagerly awaited Sarah's TikTok impressions; the floodgates opened, and she was offered a ton of exciting opportunities, from getting an agent to filming her recent Netflix comedy special.
In this episode, Sarah shares a bit about her backstory and connects the dots between her upbringing and her now global fame. She talks about her persistent feelings of never quite belonging, not being Black or white “enough,” and how she overcame having low self-confidence.
You’ll also find out how a date with Light’s brother inspired Sarah to take the stage, how her viral article inspired her to take a leap of faith, and how TikTok reignited her dreams of becoming famous. All this and more, including what her definition of success is now and what advice she would give 19-year-old Sarah, so make sure to tune in today!
