In her captivating comedy special Anisa Nandaula invites you to explore the hilariously complex world of being a Black girl in Australia.

Anisa dives into her first encounter with her boyfriend examining her views on masculinity while also navigating the challenges of being a woman in a new country. She candidly addresses mental health sharing her experiences as an "awkward Black girl" and the societal pressures that come with it.
