WTP Book Club: Over The Influence by Jojo
Send Mary and Kelsey a Message!
In this episode, Mary and Kelsey deconstruct "Over The Influence: A Memoir" by Joanna “Jojo” Levesque. Many of us know Jojo as a tween sensation who made it big at age 13 with her hit singles, Leave (Get Out), Baby It's You, and Too Little, Too Late. After reaching the kind of success most artists strive their entire lives for at such a young age, Jojo seemingly disappeared from the airwaves and the public eye. Her memoir peels back the curtain, showing how she was held hostage by a bad contract, and her personal experiences with addiction, toxic relationships, difficult family dynamics, and learning to trust herself in her pursuit of creative freedom.
