I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying by Youngmi Mayer

emotional funny informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Not only is Youngmi Mayer supremely funny, her insights on the world are unique and true. There's a lot of self-deprecation in the comedy sphere, but Youngmi's approach is a type of inquiry into self, culture, history, ancestry, society (etc) that goes beyond depreciating to feel both constructive and profound. 
I love listening to a memoir as an audiobook, and hearing this in her own voice added so much. I was especially touched by how often I could hear both laughter and tears in her voice.
