I had the pleasure of being one of her students in this class and felt like I made major strides in just a few short weeks. In our time together, she’s been extremely insightful on the process of writing material, how to present one’s self in front of an audience, along with providing numerous other guiding principles of the world of comedy. The class was also all online and Tamale did a wonderful job of making us all feel connected despite the inherent virtual limitations. Words cannot describe how excited I was to show up for class which is in large part due to Tamale. As students, all we can ask for is a teacher that supports us and does not pass any judgment as we move forward with the learning process. Tamale exemplifies all of these traits and goes well beyond them as well.
