Publisher's Synopsis
Tiffany Haddish's childhood and early adult life were...rough. You need to prepare yourself for hearing what she went through. Child abuse, molestation, physically abusive romantic relationships. At one point, she was a pimp. Which all sounds bleak, and it can be, at times. But those times are made bearable, because Haddish is an excellent storytellerBefore long, she became the first African American lady to have SNL, and later delivered her collection of memoirs, The Last Black Unicorn, to basic and public approval. She's driven one of the most unimaginably hard existences of anybody I've ever known, heard, or read about. Also, through it all, she has reliably made unreasonable preferences to push ahead. On the whole, we should discuss the things she had conflict with. She is strong. She was strong when she was a child, a teenager, and she is still strong today. I can't even believe how much she went through. I didn't know who she was until I watched Girls Trip and some of her promotional interviews, but once I did, I needed to know more about this authentic woman. Tiffany like most great comedians has had a rough life. Abandoned by her father, raised by a mentally ill and abusive mother, she spent years in foster care, was molested (even if she didn't realize it), married an abusive and controlling man twice (2 marriages to the same man) and was homeless. Had most people experienced even one of these things, it would have broken their spirit, but not Tiffany, her resilience and strong-will is a force to be reckoned with.
