YouTube star Lilly Singh to visit Naperville
With more than 11.1 million subscribers on her Superwoman channel on YouTube, 28-year-old Lilly Singh is one of the highest-paid YouTube stars and has accumulated many coveted social media awards.
Now the Canadian-born personality has added one more achievement: author. She will present her new book, "How to be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life," at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, at North Central College's Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville.
Singh will discuss her new book and then fans may participate in Singh's photo line with a professional photographer. Each ticketholder will be presented with an autographed copy of Singh's book. Tickets are required and available exclusively at LillySinghAndersons.brownpapertickets.com.
"How to be a Bawse" is packed with Singh's signature wit and bold attitude. A bawse is a person who exudes confidence, hustles relentlessly, and smiles genuinely because he or she has fought through it all and made it out the other side.
Funny, smart and insightful, Singh is an actress and comedian who covers topics ranging from relationships to career choices to everyday annoyances. But Singh didn't get to the top by being lucky - she had to work for it. Hard.
Now Singh wants to share the lessons she learned while taking the world by storm. There are no shortcuts to success, personal or professional, she says. World domination requires real effort, dedication, and determination. In her book, Singh becomes a personal trainer for life, offering 50 rules to get you in the game, including:
• Let go of FOMO (fear of missing out): Temptation will try to steer you away from your goals. FOMO is just a test of your priorities, a test that a bawse is ready to pass.
• Be nice to people: Treat niceness like an item on your daily to-do list. People will go out of their way to help and support you because you make them feel good.
• Schedule inspiration: Lack of motivation isn't permanent or a sign of weakness. Expect it and proactively schedule time to be creative.
• Be the dumbest: Challenge yourself by surrounding yourself with people who know more than you do. It's a vital way to learn and improve.
Packed with photos and candid stories from her journey to the top, "How to Be a Bawse" is written to help readers love their lives and themselves.
