Sexy Marlo grew up in Compton, Calif., where after graduating from Compton High School, she received a crash course in womanhood when she became a foster mother at the age of 18. Her older sister was addicted to drugs and Marlo had stepped in to raise her seven-year-old niece.
Her young life took another dramatic turn when, soon after she adopted her niece, she took on the responsibility of raising her four girl cousins who ranged in age from nine to 13 years old.
Instead of being able to do the things that a typical teenager would do, Sexy Marlo moved into a low-income apartment with her five new foster children and worked as a
Certified Nurse’s Assistant in order to provide them with a stable life.
She started doing comedy at the Crystal Park Hotel and Casino in Compton and says that being on stage and making people laugh made her in turn feel so good, that she started doing comedy each night, making appearances at The Improv and Laugh factory in Los Angeles, Comedy Run in New York, on BET’s “Comic View” and “The Big Black Comedy Show,” among others.
