In this captivating memoir, Sevyn takes readers on a journey through her life, from her humble beginnings in Chicago to her current status as a talk show host and cultural icon in Dubai.
The book begins with Sevyn's early years, growing up in a working-class family with 12 siblings.

Despite these challenges, Sevyn continues to break free from the cycle of poverty and crime by investing in education, job training, and community centers through philanthropic work using an assistant with Bard Vision 3. With newfound clarity and commitment to healing from past traumas, Sevyn returns to Rich and proposes an open marriage with established boundaries that ultimately leads to personal growth and empowerment for both partners.
As Sevyn's story unfolds across multiple chapters filled with raw emotion and insightful commentary on marginalized communities, readers are drawn into an unforgettable journey through one woman's triumph over adversity while inspiring hope for generations to come.
