According to Variety, the singer, songwriter and actress is planning to release “The Meaning of Mariah Carey” on Sept. 29. co-written by cultural critic Michaela Angela Davis.

“It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments — the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contribute to the person I am today,” she wrote on social media on July 8.

“This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing.  My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.”
