I Wrote My First Co-Authored Book

How these 2500 words changed the way I viewed content creation and what I learned in the process.

My first co-authored book with Golden Brick Road Publishing House is coming out this Spring.

It has always been a dream of mine to get published.

The book is called “Women Let’s Rise”. My story is about mastering my mind — learning to accept what I cannot control and challenge what I can. I can’t even tell you how excited I am that my name will be printed on a book cover. 2020 is already shaping to be a Milestone Year.

When I told my parents I wanted to be a writer, they became very concerned with what my future held. But I also know a lot of people who have finished their secondary degrees and fall farther behind than me. So, I ignored the advice.

If it wasn’t for my sheer unwillingness to let go, I wouldn’t be in a position to write anything for that matter. I just kept going. Yes, it was hard. Yes, there were moments where I stopped. Yes, imposter syndrome hit me hard. But I didn’t want to live in a world where I didn’t have a voice to lend.

Even if my parents were right—which they’re not, lol—and I couldn’t make a living out of writing…
