Ronnie J. shares her one-of-a-kind advice on succeeding as a black girl in America. As a professional marketer, college graduate, and contemporary author, Ronnie J. has worked hard to create the life she envisioned for herself. However, before attaining any of these accomplishments, she was just a young black girl struggling to make ends meet. Adverse situations and life's uncertainty taught her the hard way how to succeed as a minority in environments where the odds were stacked against her. As a college graduate with a Master's degree, she found that the real-world knowledge that she needed: planning for your future, having good work ethic, or keeping a healthy self-image, was not taught in the classroom. Using her own real-life experiences, Ronnie J. shares advice on how to live in spite of adversity and shares the knowledge that no one was able to provide for her. Filling a much-needed void in the lives of young black girls, Ronnie J. writes from the point of view of a girl just like them. Can I Live? addresses, from experience, how to succeed in spite of it all. Aiming to help other girls avoid the same challenges she encountered, Can I Live? provides guidance to those who want more out of life but aren't quite sure how to get it. Not a step by step guide or instruction manual, Can I Live? serves as a conversation starter from one black girl to another. Retrospective, relatable, and inspiring, this is a must read for young, ambitious black girls nationwide.

From humble beginnings to a professional marketing strategist, Ronnie J. brings to the forefront life issues that repeatedly trouble young black girls. By starting the conversation about unforeseen situations early, she hopes to help others avoid the same challenges she encountered. Most personal growth books for young black girls are written by authors who are nothing like the intended audience. The authors of these books haven't faced the same battles, aren't a part of the same generation, and overall cannot relate intimately to the audience. Tried-and-true advice can only come from someone who has been there, done that, and made it out successfully. Filling a much-needed void, Ronnie J. writes from the perspective of a black girl to other black girls. Can I Live? addresses, from experience, the unique adversity young black girls face today and how to succeed in spite of it all. When not writing, Ronnie J. works full-time as a marketer in Washington, DC. She holds a Master's degree in marketing from the University of Cincinnati.
