Mariah Carey was interviewed by DJ Host, Nessa, where both discuss Carey’s newly released book The Meaning of Mariah Carey, the memoir we have all be waiting for! (which I finished reading, you guys can’t pass on this!) The Meaning of Mariah Carey is now available on audible, which you can find on Audible.com today. The audiobook is narrated by Carey herself, offering an entirely different experience from the book. The book, as Mariah suggested, is a gift to her fans, but most importantly for anyone is striving for their dreams and are survivors themselves, as Mariah has clearly shown to be a survivor throughout her memoir. They dive a bit into some details of the book that Mariah expands on during the interview. As Nessa points out in reference to a tumultuous time in Carey’s life in her book she states, “What I Love about this time period in your life is the grind, the hustle. making your dreams come true, and even your living situation”. And I for one, as aspiring singer/ songwriter in LA, can relate, because it is not easy being on you’re own and feeling like a small fish in a big pond trying to make your dreams a reality. Another point I’d like to draw is that Carey states, “Everyone tried to discourage me from reaching my dreams, [friends, friends’ parents, etc]”. She further states, “You just can’t let other people discourage you”. The one thing I love and admire about Carey, besides her angelic voice of course, is her drive and passion that turned her into a driving force during the 90’s, and still today! She truly left her mark for everyone to see and become inspired by, becoming a trailblazer for the upcoming generations of singers and musicians. Again, it’s Carey’s tenacity, or stubbornness wishful thinking whichever way you’d like to call it, that made her the star she is today. In other words, Carey says let the haters hate while you give them something to watch. Whoever is reading this and find love in what you do, don’t ever give up and keep believing in yourself. Because I know I do! much love x Lo
