Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend," as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isn't that...white people music?"); she's been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the page-and she's going to make you laugh as she's doing it.Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is "Queen. Bae. Jesus," to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens , to the top spot on iTunes.   DETAILS : • Pages: 356• Publisher: Jacaranda books• Imprint: Jacaranda Books• Publication Date: 15th September 2022• Trim Size: 128 x 196 mm• ISBN: 9781913090999• Format: B-format paperback  AUTHOR BIO: Phoebe Robinson is a stand-up comedian, writer, producer, and actress.
