This book is both an ode and a challenge to women. It tells where we are and where we can be which is actually the place of our legacy. My heart was touched and warmed by the message.

#8 Glambition: Knocking Down Walls In Heels by Dee Rivera

Recommended by Jackie Murphy from WhiteGatePR. Find out more about the book Glambition: Knocking Down Walls In Heels by Dee Rivera by reading the description below or clicking on the button.

“I had a passion and a talent for life and career, and I was kicking ass. Thing was, since I was surrounded by #trolls and haters who wanted what I had and who I was.

I started believing what others thought. Looking back, I wish I could have just said to myself, I am awesome and shrugged it off and dismiss it, but I’d wanted to be liked.

What we pretend to be, we have a way of becoming. By acting uncertain, insecure and self-doubting I became exactly those things, and I carried them into adulthood until my ah hah moment.

Don’t just gravitate to the celebrated lie of the princess culture, the so-called eligible bachelors, who are revered and tough-minded and work all the time and may or may not be capable of empathy, who offer a lifestyle, but not necessarily a real relationship.

I hope that, through my experience, you can feed your Glambition and decide to love your life, love yourself and empower your dreams to become a reality. xoxo-Dee”
