YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA TED fellow, stand-up comic, and one of The Huffington Post’s 50 Funniest Women, Farsad has appeared on Comedy Central’s The Watch List, and directed documentaries including The Muslims are Coming and Nerdcore Rising. In her first book, the Iranian-American-Muslim writer delivers a sharp and very funny critique of American culture, while posing serious questions about race. Looking back on her early experiences of a society in which one group defines the “others,” Farsad uses humor to suggest ways we can combat exclusion and stereotypes.
