So...I have news. 😏 My first nonfiction book, a collection of essays based on my hero (and maybe yours too) the fabulous and unforgettable MICHELLE OBAMA, has a cover! This book put me through the ringer, y’all. But I’m so very proud of it. It is honest and real and was oh so scary to write. Almost memoir-esque in lots of ways. And much like opening my eyes underwater, it stung, but allowed me to see things about myself and about the world from a brand new perspective. It will be on sale this fall, but is already available for preorder. Link in my bio, description below. 💕🌊 Inspired by the life and quotations of former first lady Michelle Obama, Opening My Eyes Underwater is a collection of essays penned by bestselling author Ashley Woodfolk. Essays of bullying, heartbreak, racism, and confidence, Ashley taps into her own past and shares those stories that made her who she is today as she seamlessly weaves in parallel experiences that both she and Mrs. Obama have faced in their separate childhoods as well as their adult lives. Open, searing, and honest, these are stories readers will feel seen with. Readers who are growing and learning as they move forward through life's triumphs and pitfalls will undoubtedly gravitate to and find comfort within its pages.
