About this listen
This program is read by the author and includes the original song "Imposter."
"Authentic and deep, [Palmer] draws listeners in with her signature voice, which has the ability to be energetic, sincere, and playful all at once."—AudioFile
From the award-winning, multihyphenate global entertainer Keke Palmer comes the inspiring true story of her journey to understanding her genuine value.
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF FALL 2024
Keke Palmer thought she knew who she was. What it means to be a good person and what it takes to be a success. It all seemed so simple, until she realized the challenges she would have to face to prove to herself who she wanted to be. From feeling alienated to having to restart her career after ten years in to becoming a single mother just months after her son was born—everything she worked for in life that she felt granted her what she wanted now also reminded her that “life is going to life” and throw curveballs regardless of what you deserve. She found herself asking, Where do I find my power? How do I master myself?
In her own raw and intimate voice, Keke talks about everything from her struggles with boundaries to unconditional love, forgiveness, and worthiness. “Don’t block your blessings and potential opportunities by allowing the voices of other people to influence your actions,” she says. “How you’re choosing to set yourself up for success is between you and the person looking back at you in the mirror.”
Throughout the book, Keke also poses listeners with the questions needed to get them through their own challenging times by sharing personal stories and lessons she’s learned along the way. She gets candid about the tools she’s developed to take the reins, harness her vulnerability, and recognize ownership in the narrative of her life—which allowed her to turn personal power into major power.
In this exhilarating, deeply poignant, and often laugh-out-loud book, Lauren Keyana Palmer gets real about life, work, love, and belief. This book will encourage listeners to empower themselves with the truth, leverage their currency, and find the keys to master themselves and the art of alchemy. Keke writes, “You are not on anyone else’s timeline, only your own.”
The result is a tour de force.
They said, “Jack of all Trades, Master of None.”
She said, “No, I am the Master. Of Me.”

"My name is 'J' and I'm awkward--and Black. Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be. That someone was right. Where do I start?" Being an introvert in a world that glorifies cool isn't easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Award-winning hit series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, is that introvert--whether she's navigating love, work, friendships, or rapping--it sure is entertaining.

Good Self-Help but not Juicy
Likes: I think Keke had very good advice and has clearly matured into a courageous, conscious woman. She touches on topics such as misogynoir, career goals, motherhood etc., which can apply to a lot of women. Her perspective on situations may not always be what you expect, which is pleasantly surprising.
Dislikes: it is a bit boring after a while. If you are interested in juicy tales of her life experience, you won’t really find that here. Also some chapters are so short that they could’ve been cut.
Overall: a great self help book more than an autobiography in my personal opinion. A reflection of what she has learned into her 30s that is mature and thoughtful. I personally like juicy stories so not my personal fave, but good to reflect upon.
