Leslie F*ing Jones.
…”Each of us is a unique person with god given gifts that we have to use to benefit everyone around us.” - Chapter 1, Leslie F*ing Jones
This woman made me laugh, made me cry, and made my jaw drop.
Now Leslie Jones physical memoir is 288 pages HOWEVER the audio is over SEVENTEEN HOURS LONG. The audiobook is the way to go! Only Leslie Jones could have you sitting there for 17 hours listening to her talk about her life and make me want more!!! I cannot think of another author that could do this without the reader speeding through or getting bored. I felt like I was sitting in my car or doing the laundry with her right next to me conversationally giving me ALL the tea and good feels.
I have always loveddddd Leslie Jones laugh, her smile, her energy that she radiates, but how dare me not know anything about her before this. She is a delightful and profound Black woman who has been through every sort of scenario. She is reflective and full of emotion and depth and I was really in awe of her sharing her stories and perspectives with the world so rawly. Leave it to a powerful and hard working comedian to have me googling stand up tickets after listening to her for SEVENTEEN HOURS.
I fully, 100% recommend this. There is something for everyone in here to learn and take in. There are a lot of curse words and if that’s not your vibe, maybe this isn’t for you, but she does not want to be for everyone. She is enough for herself and boy, am I learning from her and taking a piece of her power with me after listening to this. Time to get a physical copy so I can keep it forever on my shelf, because she deserves to be on all the shelves. Please read this if you’re ready to feel all the things and get to know this powerhouse.
