and racist comments at Afualo and her boyfriend, which proved that her roasts are rated E for everyone, not just men.
At first, Afualo rejected the idea of writing a book. “I’m just a silly jester online, and it felt like an influencer book or a memoir, and I didn’t think my words were important enough to warrant being published.” But she warmed up to the idea after speaking to several publishers at the end of 2022. They told her that a book was an opportunity for her to expand on the beliefs and ideologies that she can’t always capture in short clips on the internet.
Some chapters took longer than others to write, she says, because they required her to confront more challenging and difficult moments in her life, like her admittedly not-so-great reaction to her sister coming out to her. “In the initial stages of writing about these things, I wasn’t being as vulnerable as I could have been because I do get nervous about that,” she says.
