"You are Black; you are female, " Leslie Jones' father once said. "But if you work harder and you're better than everybody else, they can't f*cking deny you." Leslie Jones is a warrior.
Leslie Jones embodies resilience. Nurtured by a strict father and a compassionate yet frequently unwell mother, her father's military endeavors meant a nomadic childhood. This involved challenging bullies due to her tall stature and assertive nature, defending her distressed younger brother, and invariably leaving an unforgettable impression in her wake.
Ultimately, they made Lynwood, Los Angeles their home. Here, during her high school years, Leslie shone as a remarkable basketball talent, with colleges vying for her to join them. However, during her college days, a newfound passion for comedy emerged, redirecting her trajectory. As she pursued her comedic aspirations, she grappled with discrimination, unsupportive audiences, dismissive superiors, and skepticism about a Black woman's comedic prowess.
However, time and again, her comedic genius was undeniable, and through Leslie Fcking Jones, we are introduced to the spirit behind the humor: fierce yet compassionate, unwavering yet insightful, candid, confrontational, and consistently side-splittingly funny. From national comedy tours, iconic TV appearances, her challenging experience with the Ghostbusters remake, to her social media and Olympic-commentary stints, hosting gigs on Ellen and The Daily Show, and more, Leslie Fcking Jones chronicles her journey to becoming an unfiltered American icon.
In this candid memoir, she shares her trials and triumphs, inspiring others to shed inhibitions and self-restraints. Leslie F*cking Jones stands as a testament to everyday individuals striving amidst life's challenges.
