Bible Stories with Brianda is a safe space to confess your sins… and answer Jesus’ phone calls. No seriously. He calls. A lot. Join Brianda every week for a quick and fun bible story you never knew you needed.
This week, Brianda is joined by actress, comedian, and host Dee Nasty!
She is what the entertainment industry calls a multi-hyphenate talent. More importantly, Darlene ‘Dee Nasty’ Demorizi is a daughter, sister, girlfriend, cat mom, and sweet soul who believes Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior. How dope! The Dominican Babes discuss why Dee left the Jehova’s Witness organization, race issues among Latinos, why HBO’s Euphoria is problematic and so much more.
Dee Nasty, is a stand-up comedian, Instagram influencer, and host/producer for VICE’s, Dee on The Street, Blunt Reviews, and Smokeables. A second-generation Dominican-American from the Bronx, Dee started by using her Instagram page as a platform to post skits and rants to her followers. These skits satirized everything from her personal experiences as a twenty-something millennial in the dating world to embarrassing predicaments from everyday scenarios.
Comedians and real-life besties Sasha Merci and Dee Nasty host a digital series Like, Share, Dímelo, it’s the first show of its kind on a television network hosted by two Dominican comics. A hilarious and unfiltered talk series that explores trending topics in Latinx and millennial issues, including politics, pop culture, dating, and sex. Unlike the short-form digital series, the network television version will include celebrity guests.
Sasha Merci and Dee Nasty certainly have stayed consistent in working hard towards their dreams and career goals. And there’s a reason why they’ve become so popular over the years. Their content has resonated with the Dominican-American community since day one. In fact, both Merci and Demorizi were posting comical videos that touched on Dominican culture, humor, and identity at a time when there wasn’t really any content like that being put out especially by female Dominican comics.
The two childhood friends from uptown Manhattan and the Bronx, grew up cracking jokes with their Dominican relatives, who were the ones who inspired a lot of their content and motivated them to pursue comedy. They quickly filled the void of Dominican representation in comedy after building their social followings, did plenty of standup comedy work, including their comedy show together called Sancocho, and a number of indie acting roles before landing the digital series Like, Share, Dímelo, which the girls both host and help write and produce.
