About this listen

Part tell-all, part cautionary tale, this emotionally charged memoir from a former video vixen nicknamed 'Superhead' goes beyond the glamour of celebrity to reveal the inner workings of the hip-hop dancer industry—from the physical and emotional abuse that's rampant in the industry, and which marked her own life—to the excessive use of drugs, sex and bling.

Once the sought-after video girl, this sexy siren has helped multi-platinum artists, such as Jay-Z, R. Kelly and LL Cool J, sell millions of albums with her sensual dancing. In a word, Karrine was H-O-T. So hot that she made as much as $2500 a day in videos and was selected by well-known film director F. Gary Gray to co-star in his film, A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel. But the film and music video sets, swanky Hollywood and New York restaurants and trysts with the celebrities featured in the pages of People and In Touch magazines only touches the surface of Karrine Steffans' life.

Her journey is filled with physical abuse, rape, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and single motherhood—all by the age of 26. By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticised industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered. If they're already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to dig themselves out of what she knows first-hand
to be a cycle of hopelessness and despair.

I’m shocked this isn’t a movie yet to be honest.

It will serve as a great deterrent for young women of today and in the future who are hypnotised by the glittery lifestyle that is portrayed in this modern day era especially in this social media era.

The best thing any young woman can do is work on themselves and invest in their own talent, strengths and capabilities. Nobody will save you. And even if they do, it will come at a costly price!

Great Story about trauma, acceptance and accountability

I was quite surprised that all this happened to her but this book is good, just shows when you lack boundaries. Nonsense is tolerance that is nothing (if that makes sense) wishing Karrine healing and blessings

She is a very beautiful hoe
