It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it's been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else's lens, largely satisfying someone else's assignment to define me. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah

After working alongside iconic figures like Diana Ross, Prince, and Maya Angelou and as VIBE’s founding fashion director, Michaela angela Davis provides both a celebration of Black media’s vibrant history and a critical examination of its challenges and identity politics.On her first day of second grade, a group of older girls surrounded Michaela. The ringleader drafted her little sister, armed her with a pair of scissors, and shouted a command: cut Michaela’s big blond pigtails off or face her fury. Michaela and her braids survived the attempted “jump,” but she never saw the world and hair the same way again. Recognizing how her light skin, light eyes, and light hair facilitated her access to the explosive intersections of hardcore, house, and hip-hop culture, Michaela angela Davis’s Tenderheaded is the coming-of-age story of a stylist and editor who hustled during the golden age of the downtown NYC scene of the ’80s, established a career through the hip-hop–fueled ’90s, and reckoned with the media industry in the “post-racial” Obama years while being in service to Black women every step of the way. With a life and career as complex and textured as her hair, Davis has written more than a memoir. A tribute to Black girls and women everywhere, Tenderheaded is a cultural manifesto that reckons with the role media and American history play in the fascinating and chaotic shaping of a collective identity.

Mariah Careys hyllade självbiografi är en gripande askungesaga om hur en flicka i utanförskap blev en av vår tids mest legendariska divor.

Mariah Carey har haft fler amerikanska listettor än någon annan soloartist och har sålt över tvåhundra miljoner album. Här berättar hon om resan från en uppväxt kantad av våld och fattigdom fram till dagens oerhörda framgångar. Hon gör nedslag i allt från karriärens höjdpunkter till erfarenheter av rasism, från den starka tron till kvävande äktenskap och skivbolag. Hon drar linjer mellan musiken och livet och broderar in de kända låttexterna i avgörande livsscener.

”Mitt liv som Mariah Carey” är en avskalad och nära berättelse skriven tillsammans med skribenten och aktivisten Michaela Angela Davis.

Tillfälligt slut

There was one time unlike any other,when everyone pitched in and helped one another . . .CHRISTMAS TIME!Mariah Carey, lovingly and aptly known as the Queen of Christmas, has brought forth a unique, heartwarming, and modern fairy tale with The Christmas Princess, starring Little Mariah! Like her historic, globally adored song “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” this story is an instant and inclusive family holiday classic. While firmly placed in the tradition of Christmas storytelling, The Christmas Princess is infused with her one-of-a-kind festive Mariah magic and musicality.Little Mariah doesn’t have much and doesn’t want a lot, but there is just one thing she longs for: a peaceful and joyous holiday season. Feeling outcast and alone, Little Mariah sets off on a wintry, wondrous journey, ultimately discovering the healing power of her voice to spread the spirit of Christmas at home and all around the world.
