Show Hosts

Lizz Winstead

Co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, and co-founder of Air America Radio, comedian Lizz Winstead helped change the very landscape of how people get their news. Winstead is not only a writer and creator, she was also a correspondent on The Daily Show and co-hosted Unfiltered, Air America Radio's mid-morning show, with Chuck D and Rachel Maddow. Known as one of the top political satirists in America, Winstead is recognized by all the major media outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, O Magazine, and as Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Most Creative People. Winstead’s first book, Lizz Free Or Die: Essays, released in 2012, garnered incredible reviews. Ms. Magazine says, “Lizz Winstead is a sharp-witted truth-teller, and Lizz Free or Die will inspire anyone who has ever talked back to the television or wished they could come up with satire as insightful as The Daily Show.” Lizz continues to do stand-up, yet spends most of her time helming Abortion Access Front, an inclusive NYC- based reproductive rights organization she founded in 2015. AAF uses humor and outrage to expose anti-choice hypocrisy and mobilizes people to take action in all 50 states. Creating Abortion Access Front was the natural next iteration of her Daily Show sensibilities and she and the organization are taking it one step further by producing and co-hosting Feminist Buzzkills Live! FBK Live! brings all of her passions together- Slaying bad guys with humor, making people smarter, and talking with folks the world needs to know.

Moji Alawode-El

One of Moji Alawode-El’s treasured childhood memories is being told derisively that she was a female chauvinist by a boy in elementary school. While she now understands that that is not a thing, it sparked true anarchist joy at the time. To simplify things she now declares she’s an intersectional feminist and leaves it to the ignorant to sort it out for themselves. Prior to joining AAF Moji worked in fashion advertising for several years, steering packaging and advertising campaigns for beauty brands you know and love. In that role she managed international teams, collaborated with talented designers and often saw her work in print and on shelves. But while fashion remained a passion, Moji made the decision to bring her collaborative and creative vision to a place where she could make change, so in 2015, she joined Abortion Access Front. For the past 6 years, Moji has used her team building expertise to help organize and grow AAF’s fight against the patriarchy and abortion extremism. She is currently boot-on-the-ground at AAF; speaking at rallies, podcast hosting, counter-protesting, volunteering at clinics and out on the road with the team raising hell. Moji loves yoga, reading sci-fi by femme people & people of color, roller skates and talking really loudly about her own abortion and reproductive rights in public spaces. Moji is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and is currently having too much fun raising an adorable-assed feminist in Harlem. Moji’s on the ground experience working closely with clinics, and her wealth of knowledge on legislative trends brings to FBK Live the much needed perspective of just how relentless these legislative attacks are and how they emotionally and practically affect clinics and their ability to provide care.
