Our book is here!! It’s an amazing feeling of recognition, I have to tell you, in a year of what had felt like a hopeless, uphill battle against bot accounts in the thousands stealing my studio’s work. Many of these accounts take subscriptions posing as me. People have reached out telling me they’ve been donating for months only to realize the fake accounts were not the original artist - us. Many of them just sell books, or resell our videos as “viral” packages. It’s been a crash course in emotional and mental strength trying to contend with the age of the internet in such a massive way. So having the recognition of my beautiful team at Penguin feels like such a victory. Moreso, having so many of you share such heartfelt and genuine stories with me about your lives because of the book, is even more impacting. Thank you for your recognition. The book, despite all the chicanery of thieves, has been a wild success in every inconceivable way. Thank you!!!! It’s releasing in just a few days in Australia too and I cannot wait to see it around my little Tasman island! Love to y’all!! #mrskelly #fyp #life #books #hope
