Why do successful people commit suicide? If you do not know who Cheslie Kryst is she was an American model, a television respondent and Miss USA 2019. She was also an attorney, with a degree in Marketing and Human Resource Management, she ran track, was a member of the Alpha Lumbda Delta honor society and she got her MBA in 2017.

Becoming Her is about becoming the best version of yourself. That means no longer allowing fear and doubt to control you. But this is more than iced coffee or bubble baths (which I absolutely love).
