| SUMMARY | |
| Summary | Stand-up comedian and actress 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. Indeed not 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 realised that she had talent in an area she would never 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 was humble, grateful, down to earth, and funny as hell. She still cleans the toilet the way she has shown by a foster mom who worked as a maid, and she again rolls her joints the way one of her foster dads taught her. The Last Black Unicorn is a memoir of the struggles of a woman. Who was able to achieve her dreams by revelling in her pain and awkwardness. Showing the world who she is inspiring others through the power of laughter. |
