More Myself

More about the book

An intimate, revealing look at one artist's journey from self-censorship to full expression. As a celebrated musician, Alicia Keys has captivated audiences with her heartfelt lyrics and extraordinary vocal range. However, she has faced private struggles, including a complex relationship with her father, a tendency to please others, the loss of privacy in her romantic life, and the pressure of societal expectations on women. Despite her fame, Alicia has often struggled to recognize her own worth. After years of withholding parts of herself, she is now confronting profound questions about her identity: Who am I, really? And how can I embrace my true self? This narrative is part autobiography, part documentary, revealing Alicia's journey through her own candid reflections and vivid recollections from those close to her. It offers a comprehensive view of her life, from her childhood in Hell's Kitchen and Harlem to her ongoing process of self-discovery. Alicia shares her quest for truth about herself and her transition from sacrificing her spirit to celebrating her worth. With raw honesty, this account serves as a clarion call for readers to define their own identities in a world that often discourages authenticity.
