Blessings upon blessings upon blessings. Thank you truly 🙏🏽❤

Firstly...thank you to Cross Colours for my first surprise that arrived yesterday! I absolutely love it! 😍 (For official Aaliyah merch you can cop your gear here. And secondly...I came across another surprise to add to not only seeing beautiful rare images of Aaliyah, but to finally have this carefully crafted book within the palm of my hands 😭❤ Thank you so much Kathy for allowing me to join this written journey through not only your own words, but for also allowing us fans to have a voice through your book.

I am not only honoured but grateful to call you a friend. 20 years since Aaliyah's transition into the heavens, this is the most excited I have felt for anything, as for once in my life I finally feel that my voice as a fan matters. A voice where I am able to share with other fans, and to feel included as an international fan. I no longer feel being swept under the carpet amongst all these other paid influencers that do not reflect TRUE Aaliyah fans, in their raw, authentic selves. Many a time we as fans have been let down just thinking about the What's? Why's? How's? And What If's? Having already started reading this book, I'm on chapter 4 and I can already tell how hooked I am. This book is one you do not wanna put down. The words flow fluidly just like Aaliyah's effortless dancing and singing.

An easy read with a lot of answers which just add up and make sense when you connect the dots. You'll be left questioning in your own mind certain parts. I do not want to give away any spoilers, but I will say that if you are an Aaliyah fan be it and older fan, younger fan, new fan or someone who doesn't even know Aaliyah and would like to know more about her, I would highly reccomend buying this book! You will not be disappointed! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Baby Girl: Better Known As Aaliyah is set to be released on August 17th 2021 and is available for pre-order via...
