It’s time to talk about healing in comedy. Many comedians share their backstory and cite traumas and childhood challenges, often violent on some level, and how they used comedy to survive it. But that doesn’t mean the pain from the trauma heals.

It’s time to look at the ways comedy and comedians who reach levels of success where the harm can have greater impact, need to seek healing, and where they themselves can become the bullies they once used laughter to survive.

The coping isn’t the healing…it’s the surviving. And if we don’t unravel this piece and continue to give comedy a grand pass…we don’t allow the gift of laughter to heal in the beautiful and powerful ways we know it can.

Buried in all the madness is that Will Smith's win makes him only the 5th Black actor to win the Oscar for Best Actor, and the first in 16 years, since Forest Whitaker won for "The Last King of Scotland" in 2006. #Oscars
