I’m excited to share my story with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I’m talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn’t get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I’ll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I’m sharing it all in these pages. It’s not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you’re a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law \u0026amp; Order theme.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epilogue Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42599092387917,"sku":"9781538706497","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/1456\/9549\/files\/9781538706497.jpg?v=1768515244","url":"https:\/\/epiloguebookstore.com\/products\/leslie-f-cking-jones","provider":"Epilogue Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
