A popular comedian, TED talk presenter, and award-winning storyteller, Mary Carouba uses her life story to entertain audiences and raise an eyebrow or two. Stories of her Arab/Irish household (where the family business was the “adult entertainment industry”), her career as a children’s advocate, her work behind prison walls, surviving a liver transplant, and the loss of her home in the northern California fires, are all part of her powerful message of hope and humor. “Finding the funny” in almost any circumstance is a hallmark of Mary’s life and work.
