Drum roll, please: So my book, Famous! How to Be the Star of Your Show: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Embracing Her Fabulous Self is available on Amazon.com.
I’m nervous, but the love from you guys has been all kinds of amazing, and I can’t wait to see you at the book launch! (Oh, be sure to sign up for deets, if you aren’t already on my email list.)
Some people have asked me:
T, can you make me a star?
What does the title really mean?
Why is it about fame? I’m so sick of e’erybody tryna to be famous.
Why did you write a book for girls? The boys are gonna feel left out.
Let me set the record straight: Nope, I can’t introduce to you any producers or agents.
The title is a little bit of a Trojan Horse. I did that on purpose. Sneaky? Yeah, I know.
The DJ in me remixed the concept of fame. Famous! isn’t about everybody knowing you, it’s about you knowing yourself. That type of recognition lasts beyond the fifteen minutes folks are so desperate to have—it lasts a lifetime. Trust.
While I do the guys, I wrote Famous! for the girls who are just like me.
The ones who need a confidence boost.
The ones who need to choose their own adventure.
The ones who need to figure out where their lives are headed.
I could go on and on, but you should watch the cute little trailer for Famous! How to Be the Star of Your Show instead.

I love it… we are so afraid of being self… and it rocks when you can be!
Because it’s the only person you can be. Give it to them girl!
Being ourselves is the greatest gift we have. Believe that.
Super awesome advice for our future generations of queens. God Bless you for sharing your insight Taiia 🙂
