From Jasmine Guy, actress, singer, dancer, director, and author, an honest and impassioned memoir that spans from her childhood in Atlanta to her years with Alvin Ailey, to Broadway and her time as a star in 90s Black Hollywood.

Best known for her iconic role as Whitley in the 90s hit sitcom A Different World, Jasmine Guy grew up mixed in Atlanta, near Morehouse and Spelman, where her father taught philosophy. When she first encountered Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, her life was given a sense of purpose. At seventeen, she moved to New York, fulfilling her childhood dream of dancing with the company.

Dance would give way to acting, first on the Broadway stage, then on screen with Spike Lee’s School Daze. When she accepted a part on A Different World, she had no way of knowing the impact it would have on its era, or that it would cement her status as one of the greatest stars of Black Hollywood of the 80s and 90s.

In A Different Girl, Guy, with the help of her daughter and confidante Imani Guy Duckette, offers an unflinching and heartfelt account of her rise to stardom. She reveals her battles with depression, her wavering self-image, her brushes with racism in Hollywood, and her lifelong yearning to create beautiful work. Along the way, she crosses paths with some of her generation’s greatest talents, including Whitney Houston, Debbie Allen, and Tupac Shakur.

Frank, unfiltered, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Guy shares her vulnerabilities and gifts in the hope that readers see themselves in her words. A Different Girl is a book for dancers, mixed kids, dreamers, and anyone who needs to hear her hopeful message.
