BLACK FRIEND

Deeply personal and persistently provocative, these episodic memoir essays are relatable and poignant. Ziwe, a rising political satirist and comedian, delivers her work with the appropriate amount of sarcasm and humor. Tackling questions of race, racism, and the ubiquitous awkward moments that occur around these issues, Ziwe encourages engagement with that discomfort in an effort to help listeners experience them and through that experience begin to unlearn deep biases. Returning time and again to the question of how many Black friends listeners have, Ziwe provides clear insights, warmth, and humor--all of which will keep listeners coming back for more.
