Chicago… y’all were EVERYTHING 😭❤️✨
What an amazing night as a special guest on Spotlight CTRL! @spotlightctrl Thank you so much to @annamarisol7 and @Headkrack for bringing me out to Chicago and trusting me with this moment. The love, energy, and vibes in that room were unforgettable.
Every stage keeps reminding me why I do this. Independent but FULL of purpose, passion, and gratitude. 🙏🏾🎤✨
Slide for more great clips and footage soon because whew… Chicago showed OUT. ❤️🔥 #BonitaJalane #SpotlightCTRL #Chicago #SoHigh #KeptKissingFrogs
Last night at @spotlightctrl #Unmuted a time was had. I always love getting the opportunity to share my gifts in different mediums and the plus side of being able to seamlessly blend comedy and rap and get the love I get truly means a lot. Shout out to #Scott as well as @bonitasings for the footage. (Book Me) #Freestyle #Rap #Improv
Happy Mother’s Day to me. 🌹
Thank you to Ice-T @icet for the love and respect.
To the silent partners behind me, the ones who move with loyalty, protection, and purpose, I appreciate you more than words can explain. Real ones know the value of a small circle, solid foundation, and genuine love.
The circle stays small for a reason. Everybody doesn’t deserve access. Everybody doesn’t deserve the story. Keep your names out the distractions and let the work speak loud.
Respect. Loyalty. Love above all. 🤫 ✌🏾
I’m bringing one of Chicago improv’s voices into the conversation tonight.

This means a lot coming from Cedric the Entertainer @cedtheentertainer still taking that in. Hearing my name said right and SpotlightCTRL: UNMUTED mentioned like that, it means something. From the stage lights above to the spotlight within, this is exactly what we’re building. Hosted by @spotlightctrl
UNMUTED isn’t just a show. It’s a moment.
Respect always.
Chicago just got a preview. PART 1
We stopped by Fox Chicago Now where Headkrack broke down exactly what’s coming with SpotlightCTRL: UNMUTED… and trust, this is not your typical night out.
This is where comedy, music, and real-life moments collide in real time.
No script. No filter. No repeats.
On Saturday, May 9th, the stage opens and anything can happen. You’re not just watching the show, you’re part of the energy in the room.
If you caught the interview, you already felt it.
If you didn’t, now you know.
🎟️ Lock in your spot. Bring your people. Be there when it happens.

Real talk… this is why I created SpotlightCTRL: UNMUTED.
As women in entertainment, production, and creative leadership, we carry a lot that people don’t see. The pressure. The doubt. The fight to be taken seriously. And still showing up, building, leading, creating anyway.
UNMUTED is that release.
A space where nothing is bottled up. Where the truth comes out through comedy, music, and real moments. No script. No filter. Just life, as it is.
Huge thank you to Loni Love comiclonilove for the encouragement and for pouring into me. That kind of support matters more than people know.
If you’ve ever had to push through when it wasn’t easy… this is for you.
