Inspiration Strikes: From Lyrics to Literature
When asked about her inspiration for diving into novel writing, Stacey reveals, “Transitioning to writing a novel was terrifying! But having cameras in my house following me around 24/7 wasn’t my family’s cup of tea! So, a friend of mine… said, ‘Why don’t you just write a book?'” Thus began her journey into the world of storytelling, fueled by her desire to share her remarkable life experiences in a fresh and engaging format.
Crafting Characters and Connecting Stories
Stacey’s creative process for writing “How a Gangsta Rapper Made Me A Better Mom” involved weaving together a tapestry of characters and plotlines, drawing inspiration from her own adventures in the music industry.

Themes of Resilience and Pursuing Dreams
At the heart of her novel lie themes of resilience and the pursuit of dreams against all odds.

Looking Ahead: A Trilogy in the Making
