Wanda Sykes is an American comedian, writer, and actress, known for her often pointedly political standup sessions. Sykes began performing in comedy clubs while working for the National Security Agency, and eventually became an Emmy-winning full-time comedian. She is the first African American woman and the first gay person to perform at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. In 2011, Sykes was diagnosed with a disease after a cosmetic surgery. Fortunately, at the time of the diagnosis, the disease was in its early stages. Nonetheless, Sykes elected to have major surgery to both treat the disease, which can be fatal, and drastically reduce its risk of recurrence. True to form, Wanda used humor in discussing her decision to be public about her condition – “At least with the LGBT issues we get a parade, we get a float, it’s a party. I was real hesitant about doing this, because I hate walking. I got a lot of walks coming up.”
