Healthy Coping Healthy Coping MOBEC SCARED — Stephen Wallem: actor with type 2 diabetes “I was never strict with myself, and I regret it. But the truth is that maybe I could have avoided these adult complications if I had been more disciplined when I was younger, before all the severe stuff started coming down. It started [at 29] when I suddenly began seeing those floaters in my eyes. My doctor said that sounds like the beginning stages of possible retinopathy. So she sent me to a retinologist, and that's exactly what was developing in both my eyes. That started a couple years of getting laser treatments, but it got to the point where I was actually onstage [performing in the play Forever Plaid] when in one of my eyes, many more blood vessels burst at once, and I was completely blind in one eye while I was performing. It was scary, of course, but I could see out of my other eye. When I got back home to Chicago, I [had] to go in for surgery, for two vitrectomies. [The one on the right eye healed perfectly, but the other had complications, and after another unsuccessful operation] I completely lost sight in my left eye. I was still at a place of denial in a lot of ways. I'd heard you could have problems with blindness, but it still came as a shock, because I was young and immortal! And as an actor, of course, I was frightened, thinking about how it was going to affect my career in general, and also aesthetically—all of the surgeries caused a lot of shrinkage in my left eye, and it was clearly not going to look the same as it had.” — Stephen Wallem: interview by Diabetes Forecast — Halle Berry: actress diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after a week long diabetic coma “Diabetes caught me completely off guard. None of my family had suffered from the illness and although I was slightly overweight in school, I thought I was pretty healthy. I fell ill - dramatically - when I was on the TV show, Living Dolls, in 1989. I felt I needed energy but I didn't even have a minute to pop out and get a chocolate bar. I didn't really know what was wrong. I thought I could tough it out, but I couldn't have been more wrong. One day, I simply passed out, and I didn't wake up for seven days, which is obviously very serious. They told me I might lose my eyesight, or I could lose my legs. I was scared to death, I thought I was going to die. I went into hospital on my last breath, and came out feeling a hundred times better. I knew it was time to take better care of myself and I can honestly say that I am a healthier person than I was before I was taken ill. I started to eat loads of wonderful fresh vegetables, chicken, fresh fish and pasta. I cut out red meat and cut back on fruit because it can contain quite a lot of sugar. I have to test my blood sugar levels at least a couple of times a day. Actually I feel very lucky that I can take insulin. It saves me from becoming ill. Diabetes turned out to be a gift. It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.” — Halle Berry: interview by the Daily Mail DEPRESSED — Patti LaBelle: singer, songwriter, actress, & entrepreneur diagnosed with type 2 diabetes LaBelle credits regular exercise with helping to keep her diabetes from getting worse – her mother suffered from the illness and, due to complications, had to have her legs amputated. "My uncle went blind because of it and he died. My aunt and my grandmother had it, so when the doctor told me I was a diabetic, I was like, 'No, no, no.' I cried. "You can take hold of the situation. I feel great now. I live the right way. I wear fierce clothes. God has blessed me. Everything I do now, I do it proud. I am a divabetic!" — Patti LaBelle: article by People — Bret Michaels: lead singer of Poison and a person with type 1 diabetes “If your A1Cs are a little out of whack, I tell people that part of the battle with diabetes, the people like myself who are in the trenches with it, is not stressing out over the bad blood sugar. You can go through the course of your day, and I’ll do everything great, and I’ll be running at one time an 80, then a 154, then a 124 and then suddenly out of nowhere I’ll have a 256. And I’m not even sure what spiked it. It could be a cup of coffee. You’re not sure what exactly spikes it in your body, but you can’t freak out. I just go mentally, “Pull it back down, get it back down to where I need to be.” Fortunately, I’m saying, so far by the grace of God and good medical attention, I am still here to talk about it.1 I loss use of my pancreas at 6 years old. And it is a every day, nonstop battle. From the cradle to the grave — and I mean this as sincere as I can say this — you either make a choice that you are living, or you’re dying. It’s all in the way you look at it. Some days will be awful, but what builds our character is what we do about those days. It’s just the card I was dealt. And instead of being mad and feeling self-pity and feeling like a victim, I was encouraged by my parents to work hard and move forward in my life and not be a victim. And it really helped.”2 — Bret Michaels: interviews by the Northern Michigan Diabetes Initiative and the Huffington Post WORRIED — Sherri Shepherd: actress with type 2 diabetes Shepherd says she was in denial after she was diagnosed with prediabetes. "That said to me I'm not diabetic so I can eat the way I want" including barbecue, mac and cheese, pasta, pancakes and waffles, she says. But then in 2007, she was formally diagnosed. At the time, she says, she had no energy, had numbness in her feet, had blurred vision, was thirsty all the time and had to go to the bathroom frequently. Her blood sugar was way too high. She says her doctor was blunt. "She said, 'Sherri, you love wearing those shoes, don't you?' I said, 'Yes, I do'. She said, 'You won't be wearing them with your foot cut off, because if you keep eating the way you are eating, that's where you're headed.' " But even after she was diagnosed with what she calls "the big D," Shepherd went out and had a stack of pancakes and enough "pesto pasta to feed a family of four people. I can down some food. I love food. Girl, it was complete denial. I figured if I didn't talk about it, it was going to go away." The doctor put Shepherd on medication. "I was scared," she says. Then she realized that she had to turn her life around or she might not live to raise her son. "I was going through a nasty divorce at the time, and I thought, I'll be damned if my husband's girlfriend is going to raise my son. "A friend, the Oscar-winning actress and comedian Mo'Nique, said to her, "We keep saying we would die for the people we love. Are you willing to live for the people you love?" — Sherri Shepherd, interview by USA Today — Jay Cutler: football quarterback for the Miami Dolphins and diagnosed with Type I Diabetes “I was sick the entire 2007 season, lost 35 pounds, felt fatigued—all the classic symptoms. I thought I was dying, but I wasn't diagnosed for six months.” “The toughest part is that it's there every day, no matter where you go. You wake up with it, you go to sleep with it. First thing I had to learn was giving myself the shots with the needle. That's the biggest step. The finger prick, that's okay. But when you have to jab yourself with a needle, that's where it gets a little iffy. What's easier? I don't think anything is easy about diabetes, ever. But it's probably easier for me as an adult than for the kids I've met who are trying to learn to manage it as they grow up.” — Jay Cutler: article by EndocrineWeb OVERWHELMED — Anthony Anderson: actor, comedian, writer, & game show host diagnosed with type 2 diabetes “About 10 years ago my dad passed away from type 2 diabetes complications. That was really tough, especially knowing that if my dad had taken better care of himself, he might still be here.My dad just didn’t know what happens when you don’t take control of your diabetes. That was a real wake-up call for me. I didn’t want to just be a memory for my family, I wanted to be there. So, I vowed right then and there that things would be different, that I would get serious about managing my diabetes.” One thing I would say is to not to wait. Get real now. I’ve learned that you’re either managing your diabetes, or it’s hurting you.

  • The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
    The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.
