Why They Call Her Charlie (Pre-Order -Releasing March 1st)
Charlie Madison came to me as a whisper—soft at first, then louder, then urgent. She carried the innocence of childhood, the ache of identity, the weight of her mother’s and grandmother’s unspoken stories. She represented the countless children who walk into the world with open hearts, only to encounter the sharp edges of misunderstanding, colorism, silence, and shame.
This book is not just Charlie’s story. It is the story of those who learn to question themselves in the mirror, not because of who they are, but because of what the world tells them they are.
