Today, Shaunie Henderson is a force to be reckoned with—a TV personality, producer of multiple hit reality shows, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mother of five children, First Lady of her husband’s church, and role model. But before she found her voice and her purpose, she was one more young woman trying to find her way as a partner, a parent, and a person. In Undefeated, Henderson opens up about the struggles, heartbreaks, losses, and triumphs that have made her who she is today.

Overall great read
Reviewed: 06-02-24
Excellent book, pretty typical of what you already know except her childhood. She's pretty stand up individual. With Keion being her husband, I'm surprised that she doesn't know that she can pray for others, not just him. There's no fancy way to talk to God, just say what comes to your heart. I'm glad that she found love again. She's an awesome, she speaks very highly of them all.

Jada Pinkett Smith was living what many would view as a fairy-tale of Hollywood success. But appearances can be deceiving, and as she felt more and more separated from her sense of self, emotional turmoil took hold. Sparing no detail, Worthy chronicles her life.

Excellent Read, Debunked the Media
Reviewed: 11-09-23
great read, a little weird towards the end though with her belief system, it makes her confused not knowing what to trust in, honestly she's spent so much time in relationships and being married that she's still searching for her peace of mind, she needs to seek out heavenly father, the Lord above

Whitney Houston is as big a superstar as the music business has ever known.

Reviewed: 04-12-20
Some of the content was heavy in the beginning. Towards the end though, their friendship had changed and most of her knowledge of events especially during the Bobby Brown years was more hear-say through friends and former colleagues and former employees. Overall, a great listen though.

Honest & Heartfelt
Reviewed: 03-17-19
You can definitely relate, male or female. Seems as if he's still finding himself, but his honesty makes it a good read. However, it's a little sad sort of. He's still such a work in progress, that maybe he should have held off writing the book or maybe I was looking for a happy lesson learned in the end - like a major break through. However, I commend him for being transparent.

With brutal honesty and his trademark take-no-prisoners humor, Tracy tells the story of his rise to fame, with all its highs and its many lows - from the very public battles with alcohol and diabetes that threatened both his career and his life to the private and poignant end of his 20-year marriage. In his singularly warped and brilliant way, he muses on family, love, sex, race, politics, ambition, and what it takes to bring the funny.

Great testimony, but more for married couples

Great testimony overall, typical hard upbringing with most black fatherless people, a rags to riches story, met as teenagers, built a singing friendship, eventually feel in love, last 6 couples are telling married couples how to successfully maintain their love and marriage.

In This Is Me, Chrissy Metz shares her story with a raw honesty that will leave listeners both surprised but also inspired. Infused with the same authenticity she brings to her starring role, Chrissy's This Is Me is so much more than your standard Hollywood memoir or collection of personal essays. She embraces the spirit of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes and shares how she has applied the lessons she learned from both setbacks and successes. A born entertainer, Chrissy finds light in even her darkest moments and leaves the listener feeling they are spending time with a friend who gets it.
