THE LAST BLACK UNICORN
From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last
Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unfl inching collection of personal essays, as 
fearless as the author herself. Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central LosAngeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh.

If she could do that, then her classmates
would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money. None of that worked but it allowed her to imagine a place for herself.
