In the words of Dr. Lunsford, the event creator, "Roasting Marshmallows, seeks to deconstruct,  disempower, and dismantle whiteness through the comedic ritual of roasting." Key to the concept of  "Roasting Marshmallows'' is the distinction between whiteness and white people. The event is in line with the comedic precedent established by figures such as Dick Gregory, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, and  Moms Mabley, who used comedy to analyze the social impacts of whiteness and racism. "Roasting Marshmallows" is the creation of Dr. Lunsford, who has quickly earned a reputation on Clubhouse for  dropping comedic bombs and roasting moderators. Among the most notable moderators Dr. Lunsford  has roasted the one and only Tiffany Haddish, who commented after the exchange, "I was very entertained by the Doctor."

Special guests, performers, and judges include stand-up comedians Henry Kaiser, Lindsay Ames, and Tehran Von Ghasri. In addition to comedians the show  centers the voices of researchers and diversity experts such as, Dr. Indya Jackson, Assistant Professor of  African American Literature and critical race theory educator,  and Rachael Reichenbach, facilitator and  consultant of the racial equity focused firm Resist Reimagine.
