Gina Yashere, CACK-HANDED: A Memoir
Special re-release: In support of authors who have lost their homes in the tragic LA fires, we will be resharing their podcast episodes.Although Gina Yashere’s path to comedy wasn’t easy, writing her memoir, CACK-HANDED, in her own voice allowed her to work through some things she thought she had left behind. Now a legend in the comedy world, with a CBS sitcom that she created and stars in, Gina is reflecting on how she got to where she is. She shares what growing up as the daughter of two Nigerian immigrants in the U.K. was like in the 1980s, why she turned to comedy as a way to mitigate some of the racialized violence she experienced, and how writing this book helped her understand her mother in a brand-new way.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3E7L8fGShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
