Chapter One: A Blue Dawn

It’s 2016 and Jebra Faushay is certain Hillary Clinton will win. She has the fireworks, the vegan charcuterie, and the condolences book — just in case. She won’t need that last one.

In the first chapter of UNWOKE, Jebra takes us through the election night that broke her, the COVID years that consumed her, and the arrival of Joe Biden — the Xanax from heaven she didn’t know she needed.

Featuring: a four-hour champagne hunger strike, a hazmat suit at Whole Foods, six keyed cars, and the ancestry results that made her 0.1% African and 100% certain she was now BIPOC.
