Words to Live By: The Unapologetic Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey’s career is defined by her unapologetic honesty. And, not only does the singer rope you in with her charisma, but has the grit to go with it. And, if you haven’t basked in the glory of the sass and charm that surrounds her, her new memoir: ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey’ sure will help.
She Doesn’t Mince Her Words
Now, Carey’s never shied away from saying exactly how she feels, and has never made bones about her opinions. If there was a bush to beat around, she passed up on that opportunity every step of the way. And, what arrived instead, is a long legacy of irreplaceable quips and unforgettable quotes. Take a look!
