Frankly, after being so open and honest in my writing, I wasn't sure there was more of me I was ready to share. But life happens with all its plot twists. And new stories demand to be told.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lot has changed in four years--I became a mom to two amazing girls. My husband retired. My career has expanded so that I have the opportunity to lift up other voices that need to be heard. But the world has also shown us that we have a lot we still have to fight for--as women, as black women, as mothers, as aging women, as human beings, as friends. In \u003cem\u003eYou Got Anything Stronger?, \u003c\/em\u003eI show you how this ever-changing life presents challenges, even as it gives me moments of pure joy. I take you on a girl's night at Chateau Marmont, and I also talk to Isis, my character from \u003cem\u003eBring It On\u003c\/em\u003e. For the first time, I truly open up about my surrogacy journey and the birth of Kaavia James Union Wade.
