- Viral Moment 1: One of her breakout viral moments was a series of TikToks where she humorously juggled her roles as a civil rights attorney and a stand-up comic. In one viral clip, she dryly stated:
“I’m a civil rights attorney by day… and by night? Still a civil rights attorney, because civil rights violations don’t clock out at 5.”
This mix of dry wit and sharp social critique resonated heavily with viewers—especially among Black professionals and social justice communities. - Viral Moment 2: Elizabeth posted a hilarious and biting storytime video about her experience growing up in the Black church.
