Comedian, author, and singer Heather Land tells it like it is with sarcasm and Southern charm. Practically overnight, Heather burst through the clutter of the online world with her hilarious and witty videos, which have garnered more than 300 million views. After privately sharing her hilarious musings about the oddities of daily life with her immediate friends, they dared her to share them publicly. When she reluctantly posted online, millions of people shared the videos and a true social media star was born.

Heather’s audience was first drawn in by her quick wit filtered through a high-pitched Snapchat voice changer, but they have remained connected to her because of the way she shows us how to laugh at the chaos we all live through on a daily basis.
