Summary

Dacía James Lewis is no stranger to putting herself out there. In her Hollywood career, she has choreographed and graced stages with artists such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Kanye West, Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige and many more. The Atlanta resident was most recently seen in Coming 2 America as well as Genius: Aretha. Expressing herself through dance is something that has always come natural to her; and now, it’s her words that are moving the masses in her first book The Game of Life: Releasing the Weight When God Says Wait. Dacía opens up about her experience with infertility as she takes us through her wait journey. Dacía hopes that by sharing her story, it will normalize speaking about an issue that affects about nine percent of men and 11 percent of women of reproductive age in the United States.

While this book covers her very personal experience with the topic, The Game of Life offers so much more and is relatable to everyone feeling stuck whether it has to do with dreams not coming true or pressures they may face from family and society about relationships or career. The reasons may be different, but the waiting game still feels the same.
