Publisher's summary

Tiffany Haddish is back with her highly anticipated new essay collection, I Curse You With Joy.

It’s been a minute since listeners last sat down with Tiffany Haddish. Since The Last Black Unicorn, Haddish has catapulted to A-List fame as the breakout star of Girls Trip. She’s walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week.

But it hasn’t been all VIP parties and free diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiffany didn’t totally know who Tiffany was. Before she found her groove, she was on stage dressed like her snobby airline coworkers telling halfhearted dick jokes. She tanked.

It took a fake penis, some help from friends, and a little encouragement from Bob Saget, but eventually Tiffany figured out Tiffany. I Curse You With Joy celebrates all the lessons she learned along the way—the joy and the pain. Tiffany reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a black woman in the entertainment industry, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after nearly twenty years apart. And don’t worry, she’s got plenty of advice to share, too.

I Curse You With Joy is Tiffany Haddish unfiltered. (We know what you’re thinking... how much more unfiltered can she get?) These essays lay it all bare, bringing listeners into Tiffany’s inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day.

Good read. Kept me engaged throughout the entire book.

Good book. Tiffiney reads the book in her voice. Easy to follow, it’s true to the author, she tells her story through her eyes.

The Teal Tiffany

I found this title to be more of Tiffany’s “real” self. Tiffany has had many personal defining moments throughout her life and I applaud her for how she has faces her challenges. Loved it🩷

Tiffany’s empathy shines through!

Tiffany Haddish is a bright light in our sometimes cold, dark world. She brings joy to everyone who discovers her. She’s overcome so much adversity and she’s learned a lot of hard lessons no young one should ever have to learn. She makes sure the foster care youth of today have a bit more than she had when she was coming up. And she is a lot smarter than she might ever know! This book is a great follow-up to The Last Black Unicorn. Both are wonderful books. You’ll learn so much from reading both! Tiffany is a fabulous teacher in life!

There are a lot of gems of wisdom in this book and I laughed out loud many times while listening. Listening to her read her own story was wonderful, All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to know that they are not alone in the struggles of being a human and navigating this life's ups and downs.

Tiffany Haddish rules.

Her emotional range is mesmerizing and a lot of fun. Her honesty and vulnerability is refreshing. And she’s still totally down to earth after all her amazing success. I’m a 50 year old white man and I loved this book. But I pretty much love everything she does. Tiffany Haddish rules!

The emotion in Tiffany’s storytelling

I Curse You With Joy is not only a beautiful saying but beautiful insight into the person that Tiffany Haddish is, she unapologetically shares her pain and joy with us and it’s refreshing to hear her in her own words tell her story that’s far from finished.
