Comedian Phoebe Robinson hosts the podcasts “Sooo Many White Guys” and “2 Dope Queens” – alongside Daily Show alum Jessica Williams. Now she’s released her first book, “You Can’t Touch My Hair.” It’s a mix of memoir and culture commentary.
In an excerpt from her audiobook, which can be heard above, Phoebe gives a tongue-in-cheek guide to avoid tokenism, including not taking on the role arbiter of cool. Because then it won’t be long until someone will ask you to co-sign their coolness just because they know they lyrics to the “Moesha” theme song.
