In this exclusive excerpt from her new memoir “Foolish,” comedian Sarah Cooper opens up about the intense “imposter syndrome” that came with her viral fame.
How did a Jamaican girl grow up to be the president of the United States? Well, it’s a spellbinding tale that involves zero intrigue and absolutely no international espionage, unless you think TikTok is international espionage, which: valid.
