Never Make the Same Mistake Twice —
"Never Make the Same Mistake Twice" is the autobiographical account of the life of NeNe Leakes from the hit BravoTv show Real Housewives of Atlanta. Released in August 2009 from Touchstone Books, NeNe did not disappoint her fans. We received a gripping account of the life that has brought her to this LARGER THAN LIFE personality so many fans including myself have come to know and love. She basically opens with exploring the hometown roots that the producers of the show seemed to exploit in carving out her character on the show. Discussing the details of her life as a child growing up in the little town of Athens, GA, far away from the big Atlanta city life. She discusses her struggles of wanting to be something BIG. Always particpating in sports, beauty pagents, and oh DRAMAS AND PLAYS. All in her own way to escape the feelings of wanting to run to the big city. Those highs would only be temporary. As outgoing as she was she lacked the true confidence and empowerment she seeked. Instead it manifested itself in bad decisions that ultimately led to some serious consequences. Becoming an empowered person comes with sacrifice. NeNe sacrificed her childhood and became an adult early trying to understand the dynamics of her mom (and her death) not living with her, her aunt and uncle that raised her, and who was her dad. These dictact who YOU ARE and she explored those questions she had. That very core basic principle bothers her into adulthood. Allowing for her to become a young parent and allow bottom feeders in her life. People that abused her physically and mentally. I recommend this book for any woman especially the young girls. It is a tale of abuse, revelation, reinvention, and empowerment. It shows how you can have a gameplan and although there can be many detours with persistence your dreams can happen. Our younger generation needs to hear that. In this day and age women can go out and achieve anything they want if they believe in themselves. You don't have to be defined by what your "man" has and can do for you while you wait patienetly by enjoying the comforts of his "status". You allow him to have control of you and before you know it you can not see a way out. NeNe outlines in her 20 Ways to avoid Mistakes and work on me, changing the inner you so that you can recognize your "Mr. Right and attract him to you. How you can take advantage of the right opportunities for you. Its a good easy read and I hope you enjoy!
