I read this as an audiobook because I love Ziwe and wanted to hear her style of delivery (and she definitely delivered). I didn’t love the beginning of the book - it didn’t feel that groundbreaking or new - but I loved hearing Ziwe’s accounts of how she grew up, her college poetry class, and how she slowly grew her audience to get her show. As the book continued I liked it more and more, and Ziwe’s voice is so refreshing and fun - she keeps her commentary biting, funny, and insightful, usually all at once. The note this book ends on is particularly special, and felt genuinely moving in a way I needed while listening to it. Having context on Ziwe’s personal philosophies makes me feel even more impressed and invested in her career - can’t wait to see what she does next.

Actually laughed aloud. As usual points were made. Solid 4.5

Love Ziwe just not a huge fan of how disjointed the essays seemed and the excessively long rambling footnotes.
