Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she''s been unceremoniously relegated to the role of \"the black friend,\" as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she''s been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel (\"isn''t that...white people music?\"); she''s been called \"uppity\" for having an opinion in the workplace; she''s been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she''s ready to take these topics to the page-and she''s going to make you laugh as she''s doing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is \"Queen. Bae. Jesus,\" to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, \u003ci\u003e2 Dope Queens\u003c\/i\u003e, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, \u003ci\u003eYou Can''t Touch My Hair\u003c\/i\u003e examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313644020094,"sku":"NW9781913090999","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781913090999.jpg?v=1778592788","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/you-cant-touch-my-hair","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
