Monique Samuels has a brand new book out, and she could not be more excited about it. The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 friend penned a memoir about her life, titled Love Letters from Versions of Myself: A Memoir of Self-Discovery, Transformation, & Healing, sharing insight into her own personal journey.
The book, which was released on Jan. 4, invites readers “on an intimate journey that merges the raw intimacy of a memoir with the actionable insights of a personal development guide to gain clarity and healing,” according to the website. “In a unique twist, Monique frames each chapter through ‘love letters’ addressed to past, present, and future selves, demonstrating how confronting our pain can lead us toward a more compassionate, purposeful life.”
Monique spoke with PEOPLE on Jan. 4, where she revealed that readers will “uncover” a version of themselves “waiting to be released.” “Prepare to show gratitude to the old you as you step into this new, unfamiliar version of yourself, fueled by self-love, wholeness, and acceptance,” she told the publication. “Your journey to becoming the best version of YOU begins here, one love letter at a time.”
How the RHOP cast celebrated Monique Samuels’ new memoir
During RHOP Season 10, Episode 13, Monique hosted a “sip & read” for the new memoir, where she was supported by her RHOP friends and cast members. Ashley Darby, Tia Glover, Gizelle Bryant, Keiarna Stewart, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, and Angel Massie were all in attendance to support Monique during her latest career endeavor.

“I am so excited about this book, Love Letters from Versions of Myself,” Monique explained during a confessional in the episode. “This book is about my own healing journey. And the reason that I wrote this book is that I did not realize how many other women who had experienced some of the same things. So if I can be that voice for the person that feels alone, that’s what I want to be.”

“There were several opportunities for me to sign to a label and production deals when I was pursuing a career in music,” she explained. “Unfortunately, I was always asked to either change my persona or several ‘strings’ were attached along with the opportunity. My stage name was HaZel, and my music was fun, club, and dance music with a more positive message.”
