On Her Pillow

In 1977 it was cool to be a multi-racial family if you lived in San Francisco, or New York…but we lived in Addyston, Oh. Not cool…and NOT O.K. Then my parents gave me the name Honour Pillow because I wasn’t going to stand out enough as the only curly headed, biracial giant at my school. Geesh. No ordinary life could follow this beginning. I would become a Model in New York, a Comedienne in Chicago, and a Cancer Patient in Las Vegas. Being biracial was the least of my worries.

Bio – Model turned Comedienne Honour Pillow is a Cincinnati native who has spent the past 10 years performing stand-up comedy in Chicago, and Las Vegas. After completing her one woman play and battling cancer in 2010, she returned to Cincinnati to be closer to family where she currently lives with her husband.
