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":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308690125173,"sku":"9781913090999","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781913090999_b85a0cd2-7d72-4fba-b9a3-e3039c86cab3.jpg?v=1786030869"},{"product_id":"9781914344015","title":"Everything's Trash, But It's Okay","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York Times bestselling author and star of \u003ci\u003e2 Dope Queens\u003c\/i\u003e Phoebe Robinson is back with a new, hilarious, and timely essay collection on gender, race, dating, and the dumpster fire that is our world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wouldn't it be great if life came with instructions?

Outfitted with on-point pop culture references, these essays tackle a wide range of topics: giving feminism a tough-love talk on intersectionality, telling society's beauty standards to kick rocks, and calling foul on our culture's obsession with work. Robinson also gets personal, exploring money problems she's hidden from her parents, how dating is mainly a warmed-over bowl of hot mess, and definitely most important, meeting Bono not once, but twice. She's struggled with being a woman with a political mind and a woman with an ever-changing jeans size.
