Just Being Funny (JBF) is best described as Chicken Soup for the Naive Sceptic’s Soul. The smartly-written humor feature sprinkles in Caribbean patois and #BlackTwitter slang. JBF explores painfully hilarious personal grooming failures; awkward social encounters; side-splitting tales on dating in a swipe-right world; and comical rants about surviving the gig economy
“You social media kids talk in hashtags and sound effects. … I really like the Onicia who is a little wacky and a little bit of a devil.” – Dee Ryan, Producer of Louder Than A Mom
