From the renowned multi-talented artist and Academy Award winner, Jamie Foxx, comes a candid and insightful portrayal of the rewards and challenges associated with fatherhood, particularly within the context of raising his two daughters. Jamie Foxx has been honored with both an Academy Award and a Grammy Award, has engaged in laughter with esteemed heads of state, and has reveled in the company of the most prominent figures in the realm of hip-hop. Nevertheless, he considers his most significant accomplishment to be his responsibility as a parent to his two exceptionally self-sufficient young daughters, Corinne and Anelise. While Jamie may at times find himself perplexed by the intricacies of guiding young women - particularly when they broach topics such as TikTok (PlikPlok?) or display an indifference towards extravagant Rolls Royces - he earnestly endeavors to provide unwavering support to them each day. Fortunately, he draws inspiration from a formidable role model: his cherished late grandmother, Estelle Marie Talley. Jamie attributes his insight into parenthood to the resolute matriarch who nurtured him, describing her as a character akin to "Madea before Tyler Perry donned the high heels and gray wig." In his work titled "Act Like You Got Some Sense," a phrase stemming from his grandmother's influence, Jamie imparts personal anecdotes detailing the tough love and traditional values instilled during his upbringing in the quaint town of Terrell, Texas. He reflects on his formative years navigating the competitive landscape of Hollywood, the triumphs and tribulations of attaining stardom, and how each phase of his personal journey has sculpted his approach to parenting. This engaging narrative by Jamie Foxx is characterized by its humor, emotional depth, and unreserved honesty, offering readers an unparalleled glimpse into an unfamiliar facet of the artist.
