Nikki Turner was a hustler's wife for 18 years, married to a DJ. With the help of her best friend, Nikki started her own business by selling homemade goods. She took her husband's story and wrote it into Forever a Hustler's Wife, which is now available on Audible.com
Whether you're a woman, a man or maybe even a hustler, you should listen to this. From the very beginning of the book, it was easy for me to empathize with Nikki Turner. As she talks about being African American and constantly struggling to find herself in a world where she is constantly reminded that 'her kind' is not valued, I felt her pain. The title alone resonated with me on many levels as I too have been forever labeled as someone's wife and now it feels like my identity is becoming lost because of it.
This is the story of Nikki Turner, a woman who has been in love with hustling since she was fourteen. After getting pregnant at 19, and after trying to balance her life as a single mother, there comes a turning point in her life where she realizes that staying with the hustler just isn't what she wants anymore. She makes the decision to leave and start over. However, this doesn't go smoothly either. This audiobook is full of humor and struggle.
