Foolish : tales of assimilation, determination, and humiliation / Sarah Cooper. by Cooper, Sarah (Writer on leadership) Dutton, 2023. Call #: 792.7028 C778f Subjects Cooper, Sarah (Writer on leadership)   Women comedians, Black -- United States -- Biography.   Comedians, Black -- United States -- Biography   Jamaican American women -- Biography. ISBN:  9780593473184 (hc.) Description:  255 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "A painfully revealing and hilariously honest debut memoir that chronicles Sarah Cooper's rise from lip-synching in church to lip-synching to the president of the United States. As the youngest of four in a tight-knit Jamaican family, Cooper cut her teeth in the mean cornfields of suburban Maryland. Soon she became a charmingly neurotic woman trying to break her worst patterns and reclaim her linen closet. From an early obsession with hair bands to her struggle to escape the immigrant-to-basic-bitch pipeline to her use of the Internet as a marriage counselor after being fired by two real ones and the curse of her TED Talk vibe, Cooper invites us to share in her triumphs and humiliations as she tries (and fails) to balance her own dreams with the American dream. With determination and wit, Cooper mines a lifetime of oppressive perfectionism for your laughter and enjoyment, as she moves from tech to comedy, marriage to divorce, smart to foolish, while proving once and for all that being foolish is actually the smartest thing you can do."--From publisher. Sarah Cooper is a writer and comedian with millions of followers across social media. She's the author of How to Be Successful without Hurting Men's Feelings and 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings, as well as the star of the hit Netflix comedy special, Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine. Cooper built her comedy career in between working for companies like Yahoo! and Google, where she was fed free lunches and lots of material. She has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Tonight Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, Vanity Fair and countless others. Follow her for tour dates and all the cute photos that didn't make it into the book.
