A’ja Wilson gives an insight into her debut book

The enigmatic power forward of the Las Vegas Aces recently had a one-on-one interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America. Following this, A’ja Wilson dived deep into what her book is about. In her words, “It is like a journal. It is hard for dyslexic kids to read so made it easy by writing it like that.” She then lightened up the stage by humorously mentioning, “I Know! The dyslexic kid who hated to read is now an author! Crazy!”

The TV broadcaster also praised the book by saying, “It was like reading a dear diary.” When Roberts asked Wilson about her challenges with dyslexia she said, “I always say run your race at your own pace. That is the biggest thing I wanted to get across. You’re okay to learn a little late.” As a Black woman in America, A’ja dealt with her fair share of roadblocks. However, she talks about everything from her childhood to the present times, and how she coped with them.
