Publisher Description
Actress, activist, and now Danicing with the Stars competitor Skai Jackson shares her lessons on life and her rise to stardom in this vibrant memoir about self-acceptance, girl empowerment, and the classy clapback.
Actress and activist Skai Jackson is a star! Her rise to fame started on the popular Disney Channel shows Bunk'd and Jessie. Her cool sense of style led her to create her own fashion line. And her success has made her a major influencer, with millions of followers on Instagram, who isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
But being a teen celebrity isn't always glamorous. For the first time, Skai discusses the negative experiences that sometimes come with living in the spotlight--the insecurities about her appearance, the challenges of separating her real personality from her TV roles, and the bullying she's faced both personally and professionally. She knows firsthand the struggles tweens and teens face today, and she has found her calling as an antibullying activist, known as the queen of the classy clapback.
Skai is a positive force and a role model for inspiring change and embracing differences in others. Her story will encourage girls and boys alike to believe in themselves and to have the courage to reach for the sky and follow their dreams.

Thank You 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for writing this book Skia! I loved hearing all the positivity and wonderful things you have said in your book. Reading your book made me realize that not only am different I am a strong brown-skinned girl who is seeking her career in life. You have been my inspiration since I was so young. I’ve also learnt a lot about my Kenyan culture. Thank you so much for all the hard work you had done for us. May god bless you Skai ❤️.

Loved it!
O. M. G. I literally only read a sample of the book, and i’m IN LOVE with it!! Totally putting this book on my christmas list... Anyway, i just finished reading a sample because i have to pay for the whole thing, but DANG Skai! You really put everything into perspective. Now, i’m not African-American.. and i know i will never understand how hard it is, but i know how the world can be. And honestly? I totally LOVE that you came up with the idea to write a book about how you came this far!! I really love how you made sure that everyone knew it wasn’t always easy for you’re Mom, because even me myself i sometimes think famous people have it so easy! But i know your Mom is SO proud of you, and how far you have come. From staring in Jessie to Bunk’d?! You are such a great person and i KNOW that so many people are inspired by you. Love you Skai!! BTW... i know this is totally random.. but my FAVORITE memory of Zuri is in that episode of Jessie where she has the doll nightmares, and shes in the kitchen hitting one of her barbie dolls with a hammer yelling, “DiE dOlLy, DiE!!!!!” LOL so funny🤍😂😂
