Opis

Ronnie J. shares her one-of-a-kind advice on succeeding as a black girl in America. As a professional marketer, college graduate, and contemporary author, Ronnie J. has worked hard to create the life she envisioned for herself. However, before attaining any of these accomplishments, she was just a young black girl struggling to make ends meet. Adverse situations and life's uncertainty taught her the hard way how to succeed as a minority in environments where the odds were stacked against her. As a college graduate with a Master's degree, she found that the real-world knowledge that she needed: planning for your future, having good work ethic, or keeping a healthy self-image, was not taught in the classroom. Using her own real-life experiences, Ronnie J. shares advice on how to live in spite of adversity and shares the knowledge that no one was able to provide for her. Filling a much-needed void in the lives of young black girls, Ronnie J. writes from the point of view of a girl just like them. Can I Live? addresses, from experience, how to succeed in spite of it all. Aiming to help other girls avoid the same challenges she encountered, Can I Live? provides guidance to those who want more out of life but aren't quite sure how to get it. Not a step by step guide or instruction manual, Can I Live? serves as a conversation starter from one black girl to another. Retrospective, relatable, and inspiring, this is a must read for young, ambitious black girls nationwide.
