Myra J.

On a dare, Myra J. took to the stage in Los Angeles telling jokes over twenty years ago. After much encouragement from fellow comic and friend, Robin Harris, Myra left behind a career in the social services and decided to make a career as a stand up comedienne and never looked back. 
== Early life ==
Making her mark in comedy led to other fields of entertainment such as television warm-up, writing, acting and radio.
== Career ==
Currently hitting the airwaves as the "Poster child for the Single Mom" on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Myra still performs stand up and makes appearances around the country. 
== Personal life ==
And even with her busy schedule, Myra always makes it a point to serve the community where she volunteers to women and children's shelters.
