When my book From the Outside dropped in 2018, my mission was simple: Tell my story, in my own words. Being in the spotlight, people think they know your life. But too often, they get it wrong—or twist it to fit their own version of history. That’s why I encourage everyone to write their own story. Because if you don’t, someone else will. History gets lost. Memories fade. And some folks will reshape your truth for their convenience. Make sure your kids, your grandkids, and the people who come after you know who you really were—not just what others said about you. Tell your story. In your voice. While you still can. #FromTheOutside #OwnYourStory #Legacy #TruthTeller #WriteItDown
