Book description:
From stand-up comedian
and actress Tiffany Haddish comes The Last Black Unicorn, a hilarious, edgy,
and heart-wrenching collection of autobiographical essays that will leave you
laughing through tears.
Tiffany Haddish grew up
in one of the poorest parts of South Central Los Angeles. Her mother wound up
with a debilitating brain injury after surviving a car accident. Tiffany never
fit in anywhere: not in the households she rotated through in the foster care system
and certainly not at the nearly all white high school she had to ride the bus
an hour to attend. As an illiterate ninth grader, Tiffany did everything she
could to survive. After a multitude of jobs, she finally realized that she had
talent in an area she never would have suspected: comedy. Tiffany faced the
'routine' hindrances of climbing the entertainment business ladder - but had
the added obstacles of sex, race, and class in her way. But she got there.
She's humble, grateful, down to earth, and funny as hell. She still cleans the
toilet the way she was shown by a foster mom who worked as a maid, and she
still rolls her joints the way one of her foster dads taught her.
Tiffany can't avoid
being funny: It's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more
than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the
struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able
to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world
who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.
