Summary: "New York Times bestselling author, comedian, actress, and producer Phoebe Robinson is back with a new essay collection that is equal parts thoughtful, hilarious, and sharp about human connection, race, hair, travel, dating, Black excellence, and more. Written in Phoebe's unforgettable voice and with her unparalleled wit, Robinson's latest collection, laced with spot-on pop culture references, takes on a wide range of topics. From the values she learned from her parents (including, but not limited to, advice on not bringing outside germs onto your clean bed) to her and her boyfriend, lovingly known as British Baekoff, deciding to have a child-free union, to the way the Black Lives Matter movement took center stage in America, and, finally, the continual struggle to love her 4C hair, each essay is packed with humor and humanity. By turns insightful, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartfelt, Please Don't Sit On My Bed In Your Outside Clothes is not only a brilliant look at our current cultural moment, but a collection that will stay with you for years to come"-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In essays that are by turns hilarious and heartfelt, written with Robinson's unforgettable voice and unparalleled wit, she crafts an acceptance speech for 2020, a year that will go down in the books as one of the worst years ever, and shares her thoughts on her relationship and their blissfully childless union; she ruminates on Black excellence, highlighting the fact that Black people don't need white saviourism but true allyship; she illuminates her readers on the comedy industry, an industry that deals in laughs but is notorious for protecting predators; and wonders, just how much news is too much news
