Why I Wrote This Book
For years, people have asked me about the makeup, the dancing, and the set of Star Wars. But there was so much more to the story than just the character of Oola. I wrote this book to share the human experience behind the role—the girl who had to learn how to navigate a world she never expected to be a part of. This is my truth, shared with the hope that it inspires you to embrace your own unique journey, no matter how many galaxies away it might seem.
— Femi Taylor
