WINNING: Patricia Bright

IF YOU don't know the name Patricia Bright, you're certainly about to.

The lifestyle and beauty vlogger is without a doubt the biggest black British female vlogger and one of the biggest youtube vloggers in the UK.

After a collaboration with Mac Cosmetics, and covering Glamour UK magazine earlier this year, Patricia has made her next big move, announcing that she'll be releasing her first book this year.

Entitled Heart and Hustle, the mother-of-one revealed all in a YouTube video and Instagram, sharing that the Harper Collins-published book has been over a year in the making.

Writing on Instagram, Patricia said: "Well…this has happened. You can now call your girl an ‘Author’. The last year has been a journey, I’ve had so many highs and crazy opportunities but kept a part of me hidden behind. Some of you guys know my background, that I graduated in accounting and worked in finance and banking for almost 5 years. In secret I built a YouTube career, and never received a penny from it for the first 4 years! But I poured my heart into it and now consider myself to be my own kind of ‘girlboss’.

"As a self employed business woman on this journey I wanted to understand how to ‘MAKE IT’ but found that no one wanted to really share ‘HOW’ especially when it came to running and growing a social media/digital based business. Back then I needed practical steps and advice, to move forward. Now that I’m here I decided I wanted to share EVERYTHING I’ve learnt on my journey; the highs and the lows and a guide to help those of you who are interested in doing the same. If there’s anything worth investing into its your mind, I’ve poured my heart and soul into this book and it’s, drumroll… NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!!!”

According to Harper Collins, they've noted that the book will explore Patricia's journey as a first-generation Brit to immigrant parents growing up in south London, to her fastest-growing lifestyle YouTube channel, and everything in between.

"Packed with practical, straight-talking advice, smart pro-tips, and timeless principles for anyone thinking about ditching or supplementing their 9 to 5, Head, Heart, Hustle will show you how to find your purpose, create and grow your side-hustle and personal brand online and off, understand when to turn your sideline into your main career and retain your integrity throughout."

Pre-orders for Heart and Hustle are available now on Amazon.
