"Hughes moves seamlessly between humorous self-deprecation and frank social analysis...(her) playful take on serious issues is irreverently charming, and the book will be especially appealing to Black women who have been gaslighted about the issues they've experienced in their own careers. Emboldened by the author's confidence, many readers will be able to put these insecurities to rest. A delightfully layered memoir about race, gender, and comedy." Kirkus Reviews
