Author Description

Glitter Glue: From Victim to Victor Raised in the Bronx, Dr. Osmilda Riley—“Ozzy”—felt that life handed her dull, regular glue. Yet deep inside, she knew her story needed more pizzazz. No matter what adversity came her way, she chose to see the sparkle, the shimmer of God’s light, and the hope that even against all odds, everything would one day be okay. With honesty and strength, Ozzy recounts her journey from a promising student and dreamer to a woman caught in cycles of control and abuse—yet determined to break free. From nights of terror to moments of divine intervention, from despair to reclaiming her power through faith, motherhood, and fitness, her memoir is a moving story of resilience and redemption. For women who have endured too much, for anyone who has ever felt voiceless, and for those seeking proof that healing and transformation are possible—Glitter Glue shines as a testament that when life cracks apart, glitter glue can hold it together.
