Publisher's Summary

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.

Overwhelmed

The first book I listen to and one of the best. It was an experience and I definitely recommend reading/listening to it. You will finish feeling all sorts of ways but mostly feeling good. I love her as an author,comedian, and human.

Funny and pure

I loved this book, it was real and easy to listen to. No ridiculous big words for anyone to try figure what it meant. It was crazy funny and I enjoyed to the max. some of the funniest things I have ever heard. When you are meant for greatness it will always fall into place.

Tiffany, friend in my close circle

In my head, Tiffany Haddish is my friend; not best friend, but definitly in my close circle of friends. I've read this book and listened to the audiobook with her narrating. Either version is amazing. I loved every minute of it and now, you can’t tell me NOTHING about my girl Tiffany. She’s amazing. Her story is amazing. That's it.
