Written by comedian and podcaster Phoebe Robinson, her autobiography You Can't Touch My Hair is a humorous and honest collection of essays that discusses heavy topics such as race and gender while peppering in lovable pop culture references and relatable anecdotes. The New York Times bestseller shares Robinson's perspective on being "the Black friend," getting followed by security while shopping, being labeled negatively as a woman in the workplace, how to respond to the inappropriate and invasive question "Can I touch your hair?," and more. Robinson (who has written for MTV's Girl Code, Glamour, Vanity Fair, and The Huffington Post, as well as appearing on numerous comedy shows) perfectly, and uniquely, encompasses the realities of many modern-day Black females.
