I was introduced to Ziwe in 2020 while she was still doing her Instagram live shows. I thought she was a fun entertainer to watch. And I am so happy I got to watch her grow and learn as an entertainer and gain her own show and now book!

I had so much fun reading her essays, no one knows how to be perfectly introspective as well as entertaining and humorous. My favorite essays include; nobody knows my name, discomfort, cancel culture, cornelia street and my body of work.

The book tackles such important topics that I feel like we as a society like to brush under the rug because they’re not pretty and they make us uncomfortable. Ziwe is here to tell you to think about it, sit with it and process your own internalized racism and then process it again. And then again. And the talk to your friends about it. And then question your internalized sexism! And repeat! But she does this in such an inclusive and campy way that you become addicted! Ziwe my beloved you will ALWAYS be famous!!

Thank you netgalley and ABRAMS for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!
