Their first single. 'Wannabe' became a hit. Almost overnight, Chisholm went from small town girl to Sporty Spice, part of one of the biggest music groups in history. Beginning in her bedroom in the north-west of England dreaming of performing on stage, she describes the meteoric rise of the The Spice Girls. Chisholm experienced the incredible highs of becoming one of the world's most recognizable popstars--playing at Wembley, closing the Olympics--as well as the difficult lows. For the first time she talks about the pressures of fame, the shaming and bullying she experienced, the struggles she has had with her body image and mental health, and the difficulty of finding yourself when the whole world knows your name. --
