The book, written during and after a divorce, was described as a diary that later evolved into including life lessons and the author's perspective on her contributions to past relationships. It was intended to showcase her strength and resilience.
And so I was hoping, yeah here I stand and white bras and now I have an animated book coming out soon.
Well Here I Stand, you remember that was a time where people were really in love. And having their first child and all kinds of stuff. And the album was dedicated to me.
Here I Stand. It has a double entendre. Because I've been through a whole lot. You know what I mean? I lost a child. I lost my mom. I've been through two marriages.
But the title is called Here I Stand because the album was dedicated to you. Here I stand because I've been through a lot and so it's about remaining in a beautiful state despite it all.
It was like a big diary. I started writing it when I first was going through a divorce. I started writing it and then I put a pause on it because I was writing it from my perspective.
