About this listen
“Anything that settles, stays at the bottom....”
In Twerkin’ and the City, Ayana “YaYa” Ellis shares her unadulterated, no-nonsense wisdom about how sharing your heart, your head, and your bed with the wrong person can take you down the road too often traveled by women who truly deserve better. With the voice of a woman experienced, Ellis teaches the best relationship lessons with humor, candor, and compassion. In this quick, colorful read, Yaya, affectionately tells it like it is while offering women, both young and seasoned, insight to living and loving without the struggle love many have become accustomed to experiencing and settling for. In Ayana Ellis’ eighth book, she does not disappoint as the voice of millennial women who are ready to put themselves first, find the love they deserve, and call out the bullsh-t referred to as twerkin’ for the wrong enword.

Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years - the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source.

A Much Needed Refresher
I usually don't get into self help books but I love Ayana Ellis so I figured I'd give this one a chance and I must say I enjoyed this book from start to finish. This book was filled with hilarious life lessons and I'll admit, I got a little uncomfortable when a few scenarios hit a little too close to home but u loved it. This a must read for all women nit just us Sistas. Ayana touched on everything leaving no question unanswered. I can't wait to pass this on to my 22 year old daughter.
