Ep. 79: Sarah Doneghy’s mother is White, British, and Catholic. Her Dad is Black, American, and Muslim. She was born and raised in Charleston, West Virginia. Listen to her describe life in a state not known for multiracial experience.

Now, she’s a working actor with a multitude of experience in theater, television, film, stand-up, sketch and improvisation. Her one woman show, Mixed Nut ? a personal story about growing up mixed race in West Virginia ? was produced by the People’s Improv Theater and packed the house every night. Her all female sketch comedy group, Nomansland has performed at comedy clubs throughout New York City and enjoyed a residency at The Broadway Comedy Club. They are currently working on a web series.
