She arrived in New York with a suitcase, a thin savings account, and a stubborn belief that laughter could open doors that résumés never would. By day she smiled through flight delays at JFK; by night she stood in the weak glow of basement stage lights, working jokes until they landed, until a room full of strangers briefly felt like family.
