I'm so excited to be sharing this sneak peek of my upcoming book, I DON'T BELONG TO YOU: Quiet the Noise and Find Your Voice! I want my fans to be the first to read it, so every Friday for the next four weeks, I'm going to give you a brand new excerpt before anyone can buy my book in stores. Let me know how you like it! This excerpt is about the pressure to be a "good girl." I think it's the same pressure many of us felt. I hope you'll read the sneak peek and let me know what you think. Let's talk about that "Good Girl versus Bad Girl" Myth.

It's the year of 1992 and Aaliyah will be 17 soon, all she wants to do is leave her home which is full of broken promises, negativity and abuse. She's such a smart girl full of potential and big dreams, but her environment is no good for her it's toxic and is tearing her down, but she has a friend named Keith who is always there to brighten her day and motivate her, but things are coming along and slowly tearing them apart. Aaliyah is so needy for love and affection and it's making her slowly fall for the wrong person.
