Oswego, New York – An Iranian-American woman making an effort to break down stereotypes and cultural myths...is doing it through laughter.

Muslim stand-up comic Tissa Hami visited SUNY Oswego as part of the college hour.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke to the comedian about her performance and the path that led her to the stage.
