About this ebook
Out of the deep dark waters of the bayou emerges the life and legacy of Amiyah Scott. Predestined to carry out the plans and purposes of her parents, Amiyah had a different vision and version of herself she wanted to create and present to the world in her full truth. With transparent honesty and lively wit, Amiyah carefully chronicles the tests, trials, triumphs and transition that ultimately transformed her from a confused boy into the woman she is today.
In this moving collection of memoirs, Amiyah bares all, and tells all the “TEA” associated with her quest for love, success, acceptance, equality and womanhood in a way that only she could tell it. Sex, drugs, domestic violence, family feuds, financial struggles and failed relationships are all testaments of Amiyah’s shameless, fearless courage to live life outside of the box. In sharing her deeply personal and emotional story, Amiyah endeavors to inspire others to discover their own truth and pursue it will all their might!

Amiyah Scott is an actress, model, author, and LGBTQ advocate, best known for her role as Cotton on Lee Daniel’s Star on Fox. With this role, Amiyah broke history as the first transgender actress to play a transgender character on a major network television series. In just a short time, Amiyah’s trailblazing brand in beauty, modeling, and acting has garnered immense popularity among the trans community and beyond. Amiyah struggled with bullying and acceptance throughout her life, but she never let that deter her drive, ambition, or goals. VH1 crowned her king, reporting that Amiyah “is the first transgender model to amass a large social media following on Instagram.” Amiyah is also known for her unique, exotic, and gorgeous look. Her style is heavily sought after by fans who admire her hair, makeup, and fashion creative. In addition to modeling and acting, Amiyah made her mark when she was a teenager by pioneering the New Orleans underground ballroom scene. In 2015, Amiyah taped for four weeks on Bravo’s hit reality series Real Housewives of Atlanta. Although her tapings never aired, Amiyah established good relationships with the cast members, who had hinted at Amiyah’s bright future. Amiyah is a proud advocate of the LGBTQ community and has centralized her focus on giving a voice to transgender females. Consequently, she has started a foundation called Transgender Empowerment of America (TEA). Amiyah desires to be not only an inspiration to the LGBTQ community, but to be an inspiration to anyone who has a dream. Her hope is that her story will motivate others to go after what they desire most, regardless of adversity, and to never lose sight of their goals. Her debut book is Memoirs of a Mermaid.
