Ziwe Fumudoh, 28
Writer and comedian Ziwe Fumudoh went viral this summer when she took her YouTube show "Baited" to Instagram Live amid a renewed focus on race in America. Her conversations with white guests, including the likes of Caroline Calloway and Alyssa Milano, are both hilarious and intentionally uncomfortable, forcing guests and viewers to reexamine their racist thinking. She recently signed a deal with Showtime to produce and star in her own series.
