Nobody knows my name -- Airbnb -- Wikifeet -- Discomfort -- How many black friends do you have? -- If Beale street could talk, it would cuss you out -- Cancel culture -- Just because you're racist doesn't mean you're a bad person -- Reality -- Damn -- Imposter syndrome -- Adopt don't shop -- Cornelia Street -- Affirmative actions -- My body of work.
"Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories, which grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief."
