Ciera Rogers, the fashion mogul and entrepreneur behind Babes, has written an empowering memoir titled "The Outsider Advantage." In this book, she celebrates her status as an "Outsider" and argues that what makes us different is our superpower. Rogers founded a multi-million-dollar brand that caters to curvy women of all shades, worn by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and championed by Beyoncé. Through her memoir, she shares the moments in her life that have shaped her and the powerful lessons she has learned along the way.

Rogers discusses her upbringing, including being kidnapped at a young age by her estranged father, her experiences with poverty and hardship, and her determination to overcome these challenges. She shares how she started her business, Babes, from scratch and built it into a successful brand.

One of the key themes of "The Outsider Advantage" is the idea that what society considers limitations or disadvantages can actually be our biggest competitive advantages. Rogers argues that lack of connections, resources, fancy degrees, or even the "right" look can be leveraged to create unique opportunities and achieve success. She encourages readers to embrace their Outsider status and use it as a motivator to find unstoppable success.

Rogers also addresses feelings of millennial rage and the disillusionment with the American Dream. She argues that the traditional path to success is often rigged against those who are marginalized or overlooked. However, she refuses to let this stop her from outmaneuvering the system and living the life she wants.

"The Outsider Advantage" is a bold and inspiring memoir that teaches readers how to harness their unique strengths and overcome obstacles to achieve their goals. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever been overlooked, ignored, or underestimated, and for anyone who is looking to break into the fashion industry or start their own business.
