📖 Born a Crime is not just a memoir — it's a powerful, witty, and emotional journey through Trevor Noah’s upbringing during the harsh apartheid regime in South Africa. In this summary, we unpack his incredible story of being literally "born a crime," with a Black Xhosa mother and a White Swiss father in a country where interracial relationships were illegal.

✨ Key takeaways from this episode include:
The meaning behind the title Born a Crime
Trevor’s complex relationship with his mother, a woman of resilience and unshakeable faith 
The impact of apartheid laws and the brutal reality of growing up “illegal”
