  • Reach for the Skai book by Skai Jackson

    Book: Reach for the Skai (How to Inspire, Empower, and Clapback)

    Author: Skai Jackson

    By: Cece Hymes

     

    I picked up this book because the words on it caught my attention. I did not know who she was, but my daughter did. It was a good read about her life and her journey. I loved that her mother supported her and pushed her in the right direction, always a good thing to have a great support system. If you do not know who Skai is, she is an actress and played on the show Bunk’d and Jessie.  She created her own fashion line, and a lot of doors have opened for her.

    Skai went through a lot especially being in the social media world. Just like everyone else you have your ups and downs in life. These days becoming a celebrity and dealing with social media is hard.  She managed to clapback on some on social media but not in a bad way. Her story will encourage the youth to reach for the sky and follow their dreams.

    I wanted my daughter to read the book because I was hoping it would inspire her in a way.  It was good to read about her journey as a little girl and how she got to where she is today.

    Just got finished reading the book “Make It Rain”. This book was about Media and branding. It teaches you how to pitch, network and brand yourself in the media. It was great tips in the book about interviews and getting into those doors. She mentioned a lot of people in the book that have a lot of followers and how they got to where they are on their social platforms. She also let you know not to count social media out. There are millions of people on social media that use the platform every day. Some of the tips that I really highlighted was:
    . Content Strategy
    .Monetizing       
    .How your content looks on your social media
    .Pitching
    .Trending

    Not in that order but some good tips on these topics. I love the name of the book “Make it Rain” because it’s talking business. It’s like promoting yourself and making that money. Even when I see that I think about making those connections, branding, and partnering with the right people. I definitely need to follow more people in my brand and get my social media together. This book is good for people wanting to do interviews, get interviews and get on the news. Check this book out and tell me about your thoughts on it.
