You Can't Touch My Hair

Phoebe Robinson is absolutely hilarious and very smart. This book, along with “How to Be Black” by Baratunde Thurston, brings to light so many of the struggles of what it's like to be black in the United States. Robinson covers a lot of the things that I've personally struggled with over the years and have been unable to articulate into words. She also exposes the struggle of what it's like to be a woman in comedy, something that I haven't even considered. It was delightful to learn from this book. My only complaint is that Robinson was a little heavy-handed on pop culture references which will undoubtedly be dated if someone were to read this book a few years from now. Otherwise, a very easy read and totally worth it.
