Legitimate Kid : A Memoir EPUB
by Aida Rodriguez
EPUB
Description
A hilarious and heartbreaking memoir-in-essays from stand-up comedian Aida Rodriguez on the power of overcoming hardship and transforming pain into laughter.
Aida Rodriguez has, to put it mildly, lived a whirlwind life. Her rags-to-riches story is mind-blowing: She was kidnapped as a child by her mother in the Dominican Republic and brought to the US. She was later kidnapped again by her grandmother and uncle, and moved from New York to Florida. As an adult, she ended a difficult marriage and endured homelessness with her children in Los Angeles. But through it all she never lost her sense of humor.
Born with a wonderful wit, irrepressible spirit, and an effervescent personality, Aida used her gifts and worked tirelessly, turning tragedy and pain into biting comedy that takes on difficult issues like misogyny and racism. Her talent eventually landed her in the Top Ten of the eighth season of NBCs hit series Last Comic Standingsuccess that won her a nationwide audience, opened doors, and helped her expand the way Latinos are represented in comedy.
In this, her highly anticipated first book, Aida charts her many ups and downs, from personal setbacks to career highs to everything in between. In a voice that is part Trevor Noah, part Gabrielle Union, yet uniquely Aida, this memoir is endearing, shocking, and ultimately life-affirming.
