| 520 | |a Comedian Youngmi Mayer recounts her childhood and adolescence as an offbeat biracial kid in Saipan. With humor and irreverence, she shares difficult moments in her past, including her family's struggles during the last century of colonialism, her mother's marriage to a man who looked like "white Jesus," and her current life as a single mom in New York City. By joking through her own story, she hopes to pass on her family's gift to her: the gift of laughing while crying, which Mayer's mother always said would make "hair grow out of your butthole." | ||
