This is the story of Amiya Nnaji, a 16 year old high schooler living in Kingston, Jamaica.
Follow her on her journey; learning how to deal with puberty, fake friendships, betrayals, love & self awareness.
My parents have been married for almost a decade. December 12, 2009 is their ten years anniversary.
I am the step-daugther of English business man Jahmeir A. Nnaji.
Yeah yeah, you've guess right! My dad owns a chain of vehicle auto sales and rentals in Jamaica, 17 locations island wide spanning the 14 parishes. "J.A. Auto Sales & Car Rentals - We've got a car for you, come on in stores" the commercial plays all day, everyday. The business is going well and he is planning on expanding in the US market. I love my pa-pa very much but since of late we've gotten out of sync with each other. My dad was a tall muscular man - 6"4 to be exact, dark brown complexion, moustache too thick and it draped around his mouth, and his hair feathered gray and black. He was handsome and charming; a very incredible man. My super hero.
My mom Shannade Cooke-Nnaji is a locally known hair stylist. She met my pa-pa when I was around 3 y.o, let's just say she used to do his wife - now ex-wife's hair at the time. That tea will be spilled at next time not now; sorry not sorry. Mommy has two salons in Kingston that she manages - "Shannade's Styles". She didn't have to work but she was passionate about hair and always drilled in my head the important of an independent woman. My mom has dark complexion stood 5"6, wide hips, big behind, double d breasts and no tummy. Thickas. She was a diva in every way and I admire her.
I have 3 siblings. Step brothers John Nnaji (27), Jahmeir Nnaji Jr (18) and my sister Jelana Nnaji (6). I didn't really bond much with John, but Jr is the big brother I will always looked up to and Jelana is my minime, so cute and precious.

I, Amiya Shan Nnaji , my biological last name Ferrell was changed after my parents got married. I stood 5"3, dark complexion, thick arched eyebrows, small wide set brown eyes, a button nose, full lips and a round face. I have long black curly hair almost mid back that I've always straightened for its easier to manage. I am slim in appearance. Puberty kicked in over this passed summer. I see my butt, boobs and hips has slightly increase in size and honey I am not mad. My monthly started this summer on my 16th birthday July 25 and let's just say my sweet 16 was eventful. I am a senior at Priority Prep School. This September is my last year and I am excited I havent decided whether or not I wanted to go to college yet.
My two best friends are sisters Mira (16) and Jennifer (17), two crazy girls! At school we're known as the 3 musketeers; we're always together.
