Listen "40 Lessons - Episode 40 - It’s bigger than just a joke. Lessons from Micah Bam-Bamm White"
Episode Synopsis
Micah “Bam-Bamm” White joins Todd B. Waldo for a conversation about family, fatherhood, faith and how he is still figuring out how to use his passion and gifts to make a difference in his family and community.
Micah White has spent over 20 years in the entertainment industry as a stand-up comedian, host, and philanthropist. He has performed in four countries, and in over 80 U.S. cities in 30 states. The go-to guy for corporate comedy and hosting, White’s talents have led him to perform for 40 corporations, 30 non-profit organizations, and 20 colleges doing everything from stand-up to hosting and delivering the commencement address. He’s gone on tour with Gary Owen, has hosted and performed aboard the Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage, and has appeared in Denzel Washington’s “Unstoppable” and the Lifetime network’s “Army Wives.”
White is also the Founder of RVA Has Talent, which creates collaborations between local artists and non-profits in the Greater Richmond community. From that, he’s developed an initiative that allows inmates at the Richmond City Jail to hone creative abilities and equips them with tools for gainful employment after incarceration. Through his various efforts, White’s mission is simple: to use comedy and entertainment to find common ground by bridging racial, religious, socioeconomic, and generational gaps.
