Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
In a conversational tone, Dr. Pamela Gurley opens up about her life and why she considered herself a non-stereotype. She discusses her childhood, teen years, first jobs, toxic marriages and all things that affect one's emotional growth and mindset. This introspective look at her life inspires all to look at their own lives, to be comfortable in their own skin, to strive for their own ambitions, and to live unapologetically a world filled with criticism.
"Her journey and everything about her screams, "I will not allow you to put me in a box " I will not allow you to dismiss me or oversimplify who I am. I am not a stereotype...I am HER Welcome to her journey. It will teach all of us something about prematurely judging others and what happens when we succumb to external pressures to live our lives based on how others will perceive or react to us versus being and loving all pieces of our authentic selves- whether they love it or hate it. "

I was socialized to have a need for belongingness; and it came at the expense of ridicule, criticism, & losing who I was. How mentally toxic and taxing it was to live my life living up to other people's standards of whom I needed to be. I had to STOP IT I had to change the narrative & stop believing in the stereotyping of whom I was taught to believe I should be I had to heal, get real, forgive, and learn to sit on my pedestal to holistically see the world differently. Now, I will not allow judgment to change who I am. I will not allow anyone to determine what I love, how I love or reduce who I am because of their own insecurities or mental demons. I am not a stereotype...I am H.E.R

Synopsis
The imperfect book written with the perfect message. It's purposely "flawed" (meaning it was deliberately edited to have mistakes). She wanted the world to understand imperfections are apart life and if you see yourself and people beyond the flaws there is beauty and so is the story.
