Title: The Last Black Unicorn Pdf
Best Spoken Word Grammy Award nominee!
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.
Funny! Beautifully written book by a beautiful woman. Fiercely honest and sad at times. Highly recommend for a beach day or flight!Honest writing and unforgettable read. I started reading this book and I couldn't put it down. Tiffany's story is unimaginable and she has emerged able to conquer the world. I laughed, I cried, I cried while I was laughing. It is well worth the read.This isn`t meant to be a book written by a College English Professor. It`s meant to be more relate-able. I fell in love with Tiffany Haddish after seeing her do an interview on Trevor Noah`s Daily News show. Her personality and sense of humor is just amazing and pulls you in. So when she started giving stories from her book about dating and religion and just life in general I definitely felt like I had to read.Her writing style isn`t your conventional Shakespeare style, I`ve earned my Doctorate in Creative Writing sort of read. It`s very easy to read and very down to earth. It`s like she could be standing right next to you telling you this story as though you were best friends sharing laughs, tears and life. Some parts are particularly heavy because her life was far from being rainbows and unicorns (though she is the Last Black Unicorn), but she tells it in a way that reminds be of my own mother. Even when they are talking through their most painful moments they still find a way to help you Laugh at their Pain and your own so that you don`t walk away feeling worse about any of it but instead feeling stronger and refreshed.I really enjoyed this book and was sad when it ended but was happy to have gotten a look into Tiffany Haddish insane but relate-able world.I look forward to seeing her succeed.
