The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish is a book detailing the life experience of the author from childhood to adulthood. Tiffany begins by saying that the school was hard for her due to several reasons. Life was hard because she was placed in a foster home. Tiffany’s mother became insane and she was compelled to live with her grandmother. Children used to make fun of her alleging she was smelling like onions. However, she admits that she used to smell like onions because her mother used to cook her onions and eggs for breakfast. Generally, the book describes how determination, persistence, and resilience helped Tiffany to become a successful comedian.
Tiffany argues that her biological father never bothered about her well-being. Additionally, she had a stepfather but never got along well. Despite the challenges, she was determined to have a better life. After school, the author started finding her biological father. An ex-police officer helps her in finding him. Eventually, the ex-police officer would become her husband. The life between Tiffany and her husband was fine until he started gaslighting her. Tiffany’s husband was insecure and never allowed her to practice her career. After five years of marriage, the two call it quits.
The separation between Tiffany and her ex-husband was a blessing in disguise because her career peaked immediately. However, the author claims that the road to stardom was not easy because she had to work hard and take small gigs to improve her experience. Tiffany honors people who shaped her career, like Jada Pinkett Smith. The author’s successful journey serves as a motivation for people who come from humble backgrounds.
