Hi, My Name Is...

Currently in Submission  |  Memoir
She's worn more names than most people wear masks — and every one of them cost her something. A memoir about what it takes to stop surviving yourself and finally become who you are.
On a night when the crowd expects her to disappear beautifully, a performer puts down the mic and refuses the mask that once kept her alive. Hi, My Name Is... traces the names Puurrsia wore — Baby Girl, Shell, Mrs. Williams, Miss Kitty — to survive classrooms, marriages, courts, sex clubs, and stages, and the cost each demanded. It's a memoir about race and respectability, desire and power, motherhood and loss — and how a woman learns to belong without vanishing.
