Nubian was a writer before the world knew her name. A poet before she could even spell all the words. By age five, her Great Grandmother Alice had already planted the seeds of music in her spirit, introducing her to melodies that would one day carry her through storms. Whether scribbling rhymes in a notebook or singing in church, Nubian was born to turn pain into power.

Raised in Buffalo, New York, her story is one of resilience. She’s survived homelessness, violence, and heartbreak — but never let any of it stop her grind. Instead, she used it. Every wound became a word. Every loss, a lyric. Music became her escape and her expression — not just art, but armor.

Over the years, she’s shared stages with famous rappers and singers, but it’s her raw truth and authenticity that built her following.

Nubian is more than an artist — she’s a serial entrepreneur, a motivational speaker, and now, a published author. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, she launched Professional Grinder — a bold energy drink and brand movement that reflects her unstoppable hustle. She’s also the creative force behind clothing, content, and empowerment platforms that prove one thing loud and clear: she’s not waiting for doors to open — she builds her own.

This book is an extension of her legacy — a heartfelt blueprint for healing, growth, and bossing up. Nubian writes for the underdogs, the heartbroken, the grinders. The ones rebuilding. The ones rising.

Because if she can turn her struggle into success, so can you.
