“Empire” star Gabourey Sidibe is writing her memoir.
Due out in 2017 on Houghton Mifflin Harcourt according to Vulture, the book will feature stories she hasn’t shared in the media.
“I’ve been writing since I was a child and have always had so many stories to tell that are too long, shady, and impolite to share in interviews,” she said in a statement, per Vulture. “It brings me much joy to add Published Writer to my resume of Actor and part-time Foot Model.”

“I’d better learn to spell without auto correct,” she added.
