Host:
Kyrie Da Comic (@kyriedacomic)
Khiry “Kyrie Da Comic” Johnson is an international comedic motivational speaker born and raised on the west side of Chicago. Motivated by his undergrad experience at Northern Illinois University, Khiry went on to study at The Second City Training of Chicago. Combining his newly honed skills with his passion for helping others, he went on to partner with several local NGOs throughout the Chicagoland area. “Edutainment” and “Artivism ” were embedded in speeches, coupled with eccentric hosting, and passions for making the world a better place. This landed him speaking tours with bigger international NGOs. Touring introduced Khiry to larger audiences, organizations, and global exposure to issues but more importantly, plausible solutions!
