Storytime with Tiffany Haddish

Join us for a special storytime with Tiffany Haddish.

Emmy & Grammy award winner Tiffany Haddish will be discussing the importance and benefits of libraries, and reading her book "Layla the Last Black Unicorn".

Tiffany Haddish has established herself as one of the most sought-after comedic actresses and performers worldwide. She can currently be seen opposite Jo Koy in Universal’s Easter Sunday, voicing Tuca in season 3 of Adult Swim’s Tuca & Bertie, and in Apple TV’s critically acclaimed murder mystery series The Afterparty, which just wrapped production on its second season. Her debut picture book Layla, The Last Black Unicorn, is now available wherever books are sold and her next book, I Curse You With Joy, a collection of essays, will be released in 2023. Haddish’s other recent projects include Lionsgate’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent opposite Nicholas Cage and Hulu’s Solar Opposites where she voices Aisha. Haddish recently wrapped production on both Disney’s Haunted Mansion, and MGM’s Landscape With Invisible Hand, an adaption of MT Anderson’s futuristic sci-fi novel.

Haddish’s first book, a memoir called The Last Black Unicorn, was released in 2018. The book made the New York Times Best Sellers List, and the companion audiobook, narrated by Haddish, was nominated for a 2019 Grammy Award for “Spoken Word Album.” In 2021 Haddish signed a three book Children’s Deal with Harper Collins including Layla, The Last Black Unicorn, and a collection of essays, I Curse You with Joy. Haddish’s journey and life experiences have inspired her comedy and sense of humor both on and off the stage. She has been very candid about her experiences growing up in foster care in South Central Los Angeles. Her excessive talking and imaginary friends prompted her flustered social worker to steer her into stand-up comedy. She enrolled in the Laugh Factory’s Comedy Camp, a place for at-risk and underprivileged children to transform negative energy into something positive. The experience was just the beginning of her comedy career. Haddish recently founded The She Ready Foundation to help and support foster kids in need. In 2021 The She Ready Foundation launched an Internship Program with Ready To Succeed for foster youth in the SoCal area.
