BOOK REVIEW: THE LAST BLACK UNICORN.
This book written by tiffany haddish is a huge eye opener. She discusses her climb to stardom. Imagine having a runaway father, a mentally ill mother and being state property, her life was hard and her future was bleak. She discussed her past relationships, how her upbringing had affected the way she related with people and how it made her make really wrong decisions.
Through this book you could see through the eyes of an abandoned black woman living in a world where she was not even wanted. In this book, she described how a few friends helped her up, friends like Kelvin Hart, Jada and Will Smith, Queen latifah and so on.
Read one of my favorite parts of the book
When I was hanging out with Jada in New Orleans shooting Girls Trip, I had a knockoff Michael Kors bag, and the lock fell off.
Jada: “You need real bags, you can’t be running around here with fake bags, what kind of bag is that?”
Tiffany: “This is my Martin Luther King bag. The lock fell off, so it’s free at last. Get it?”
Jada: “No, I don’t get it. It’s a fake. You have to get real designer stuff. You can’t be having knockoff stuff.”
Tiffany: “Well, that’s the kind of money I got, knockoff money, so that’s probably what kind of bag I should have, right?”
She shook her head and laughed at me. Later that week, she decided to go back to LA for the weekend, and invited me to go with her.
Tiffany: “That sounds fun, but how we gonna book a ticket this late? It’ll be too expensive. And I bet first class is filled up.”
Jada: “Book a ticket? Girl, we’re taking a private jet to LA.”
Tiffany: “Oh, I can’t. I’m not getting on no private jet.”
Jada: “Why?”
Tiffany: “Aaliyah. Never forget.”
Jada: “What?”
Tiffany: “Aaliyah, never forget! La Bamba, too.”
Jada: “What the fuck are you talking about?”
Tiffany: “Right when you are about to blow the fuck up, when you about to get hella super famous and have hella unlimited amounts of money, that’s when you get killed. And it’s always in a small plane.Unless there is ten white people on that flight, I cannot get on that flight.”
Jada: “Something is wrong with your brain."
