About this submission

Sugar Baby addresses numerous insecurities I have had as both a teenager and as a woman today regarding my friendships, body size, sexuality, and views on religion. I believe as a storyteller that comedy can be used to make some uncomfortable things more digestible for its audience. As a plus size woman, I have always found making people laugh in social settings inviting not only for them, but for myself. I think I developed this as a coping mechanism and in result wanted to use that to tackle these ideas with a sort of ironic confidence.
