Actor and comedian Tiffany Haddish knows what it’s like to struggle.
Before making it in Hollywood, she’d been living in her car.
She began crashing weddings to take advantage of the free food and drinks.
“Everybody would be looking at me like, ‘Who is this Black girl at our wedding?'”
The stares didn’t phase her.
One of the first things she did was purchase a house.
Since then, she’s been buying homes or plots of land after every movie she lands.
Her fear of being homeless again was especially large when she first landed roles.
Her family suggested she hold off on buying a house, but she didn’t listen.
The actor wanted to secure a place of her own to ease the anxiety.
She has starred in several films and TV shows, and has even done comedy specials.
She’s even gone through adramatic hair transformation which boosted her self-esteem.
Haddish’s success is something her younger self could have only dreamt of.
The comedian is at a point where she’s ableto turn down auditionsrather than scramble for them.
Back in 2019, Haddish made a post that acknowledged her journey to fame in a vulnerable way.
She affirmed her younger self and the belief that she had that things would get better.
“I remember that night.
She was homeless, hungry, scared, and hurt.
reckon it’s she’s finally there!
