My American Dream by Sia-Sia
I was homeless once… now, I am a CEO, producer, TV and radio show host, journalist, and writer. Join me and read about my journey. Read my autobiography, My American Dream, and learn about my 30 year career as a journalist, producer, and host. It was not always easy, but I made it through and I am living My American Dream.
This book will inspire those who have gone through some life’s challenges or they have given up in life. It’s full of stories of overcoming adversity. I strongly believe that no matter what the circumstance you too can overcome and bounce back. After you read my book, please take a moment and comment, send me an email. Happy reading!
