Speaking of Black Girl Magic, I officially finished my book, The Girl Code Rules of Engagement so kudos to MEEEE!! 🎉🎉 Yes, my labor of love is finally complete and ready for Pub Day! I was on schedule to launch in the Spring of '21 but my amazing father who was also my best friend transitioned just before my launch date, so I took some time off to regroup and during that year off, I even found the courage to go back and write a new chapter dedicated to him and our really cool relationship. The Girl Code Rules of Engagement is a coming-of-age book for young ladies ages 16-30. In the book, I talk about the unspoken rules of womanhood and everything in between, ranging from self-esteem, friendships, dating, parents, and more!
