i had no idea who ziwe was before i read this, but this book made me want to watch her videos!! she was so funny and real. she approached very serious topics like racism and cancel culture in such a funny and interesting way. her entire collection felt like a breath of fresh air. she wasn’t trying to convince anyone of anything. it was like i was just chatting with a best friend. honestly i loved everything about this. i completely forgot that i was even reading an essay collection. i laughed so much, and she wasn’t even trying to be funny. she was just naturally funny and yet perceptive.
put this on your tbr asap. you won’t regret it.

Ziwe is hilarious and insightful. I read the ebook, but I'd recommend a hard copy because there are a lot of endnotes and inserts that didn't render well in a digital format.

this essay collection was funny and intelligent - my favourite type of non-fiction! ziwe shows she is a master in combining humour, personal anecdotes, and astute observations on our sociocultural climate and pop culture. looking forward to reading more of her writing!
