Becoming Me Twice

By Nacobi Reams

Before the world ever knew her, she was already split.

Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Cobi learned early how to lead, how to survive, and how to become whoever the moment demanded. As a child, she played roles before she had language for them. As a teenager, she learned how desire, trauma, and protection could blur into identity. As an adult, she became someone the world recognized - strong, guarded, and masculine... even as she quietly lost pieces of herself along the way.

Becoming Me Twice is a raw, unfiltered memoir about identity, survival, and the cost of wearing armor too long. With brutal honesty and hard-earned clarity, Cobi traces the journey from childhood curiosity to lived persona, from love and loss to reckoning and return.

This is not a story about choosing sides.

It's a story about coming home.

For anyone who has ever lived between versions of themselves. This book tells the truth many are afraid to say out loud.
