The Grammy-nominated songwriter has put her sensational life experiences on paper for the world to read. In an interview, Asiah tells about her new book, "My new book is about surrendering to elevation, revising your lifestyle, and giving yourself permission to be great. I touch on how women feel objectified, and how people use other people for sex." Asiah points out a fascinating insight that people often get in the way of their own dreams, but it takes creating the time to make them come true. Even though quarantine has changed the dynamic of the social norm in 2020, Million has not let it slow her down. She completed the book in quarantine and even found a new love for cooking her own food.

Along with the book, Million is releasing an album of songs that correlate to the chapter titles, including Herstory and Black Lace. Asiah's song "Herstory" is a chapter in the book, and she considers it, more importantly, the story of a woman. The story of a woman, suppressing her soul, being told to keep quiet and never given a voice. One of Asiah's favorite chapters is Black Lace. Black Lace is a chapter of sexual exploration and the literal uses of black lace to make a woman feel sexy in her own skin. Asiah says it is about distracting the eyes from the body to feel the vibrations, "Black lace gives you permission to indulge in sexual festivities freely." Like her music, Asiah's core of this book is love, "I love relationships, and I like to write about the feelings that love and relationships bring forth." The reader can sit down and feel as though they are having a conversation with Asiah about her journey of self-discovery and feel her sense of inspiration. Like Asiah, we could all benefit from becoming more intimate with ourselves, as she describes in her new book.
