Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva!

From the eponymous star of the most popular reality show in Fuse TVâ€™s history, this no-holds-barred memoir tells the story of a gay, self-proclaimed mamaâ€™s boy who exploded onto the formerly underground Bounce music sceneâ€”a hip-hop subgenreâ€”and found acceptance, healing, self-expression, and stardom!

As the â€œundisputed ambassadorâ€ of the energetic, New Orleans-based Bounce movement, Big Freedia isnâ€™t afraid to twerk, wiggle, and shake her way to self-confidence, and is encouraging her fans to do the same. In her engrossing memoir, Big Freedia tells the inside story of her path to fame, the peaks and valleys of her personal life, and the liberation that Bounce music brings to herself and every one of her fans who is searching for freedom.

Big Freedia immediately pulls us into the relationship between her personal life and her career as an artist; being a â€œtwerking sissyâ€ is not just a job, she says, but a salvation. A place to find solace. To escape from the battles she faced growing up in the worst neighborhood in New Orleans. To deal with losing loved ones to the violence on the streets, drug overdoses, and jail. To survive hurricane Katrina by living on her roof for two days with three adults and a child. To grapple with the difficulties and celebrate the joys of living.

In this eye-opening memoir that bursts with energy, youâ€™ll learn the history of the Bounce movement and meet all of the colorful characters that pepper its music scene. With her own unique voice and unabashed enthusiasm, Big Freedia tells how she arrived at this defining moment in music, and how Bounce ultimately has allowed her to become her own version of diva, one booty-pop at a time.
