A raw, honest, and revealing co-memoir by Brie and Nikki Bella: twin sisters, WWE Hall of Fame inductees, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and stars of the hit E! shows Total Bellas and Total Divas. As twins, the Bellas have always competed. Legend has it that Nikki drop-kicked Brie in the womb so that she could make her grand entrance first. But the rest of the world often treated them as identical and even interchangeable, so they decided to do something about it.

Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. 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; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. The. Time.

Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that.

Here, too, she opens up about her experiences as a single mother.

The world knows Lamar Odom as a two-time NBA world champion who rocketed to uncharted heights of fame thanks to being a member of both the storied Los Angeles Lakers and the ubiquitous Kardashian empire. But who is Lamar, really? Fans have long praised his accessibility and genuine everyman quality - he is a blinding talent who has suffered a series of heartaches, setback, and loss. But until now, his most candid moments have remained behind closed doors...sometimes face-down on the floor.

Beautiful Essays from a Beautiful Soul
I loved Danni when on the morning show I listened to. I love her so much more now. I finally got to hear what made her her and where and how she got her intelligence, strength, wit, humor, honesty, beautiful soul, intelligence, sooooooo many more wonderful traits to list, but OF COURSE empathy. I purchased the book on Audible and could not stop listening. I listened every chance I got at work and then on my ride home. Just amazing!! I want more!!

When I thought I couldn’t love Danni Starr more... I was wrong! :)
I have been a listener of Danni’s for a long time. I have been a follower of hers on social media. I’m a huge fan. So naturally I was going to get her book. She literally exceeded my expectations!! I laughed, I cried, I said “what the hell?!” Sharing her stories that are so relatable and incredibly important is something I’m so very thankful to her for. EVERYONE needs to read or hear this book!!!

Okay for a beach read. Not earth shattering.
I really like listening to memoirs, and especially in the author's voice.
Danni was very entertaining to listen to, and can definitely tell a story, but unfortunately, I don't feel like she went super in-depth with things that the reader would have found interesting. The book is okay for a quick beach read, but not something I was super taken with.

I am awe struck
I came upon this book when I noticed a major radio personality disappear from his own show. After doing some digging I realized that this once beloved character was really just that..a character. Not only was he nothing like he pretended to be on the air, he was so cruel he almost tried to ruin Dannie's personal and professional lives.
This book has opened my eyes to the true nature of those that pretend to be something they're not and receive praise while the true fight belongs to those who live and love their authentic selves. Good Riddance Kane. This girl's book is so full of life I feel like I have known her as long as I've known me! I have a passion to do more, be more and help more and with success stories like hers, I know there are no excuses not to rise to the occasion. Thank you, Danni for opening my eyes and helping me realize I really need to take better care of my brows.
