Award-Winning Artist Yassie Set to Release New Autism Children’s Book and Return to the ATL Stage

For pop artist Yassie, music has always been more than performance, its purpose, healing, and storytelling. But in the midst of a rising career, she made a courageous decision that would redefine her journey. Yassie stepped away from the spotlight for six months to write a children’s book inspired by her son and his experience with autism. That deeply personal project became The Way Shawn Sees It, a heartfelt story centered on compassion, awareness, and understanding, scheduled for release on Amazon Books on April 14, 2026.

This was not a pause driven by exhaustion or uncertainty. It was a choice rooted in love, faith, and responsibility.

Every page of The Way Shawn Sees It reflects Yassie’s devotion as a mother and her calling as a storyteller. Through her son’s eyes, readers are invited into a world rich with imagination, sensitivity, honesty, and resilience. The book celebrates neurodiversity while offering gentle insight into how children with autism experience emotions, friendships, and everyday moments. With warmth and authenticity, Yassie creates a powerful resource for families, educators, and young readers. One that fosters empathy, understanding, and connection.

For Yassie, the book represents more than a milestone, it is a mission. In giving voice to her son’s world, she offers hope and representation to families who often feel unseen, reminding them that difference is not deficiency, but beauty.

Now, with her book release approaching, Yassie is also preparing for a powerful return to the stage.

She is set to perform live at the Sheen Magazine Xclusive Mixer in Atlanta at Cirque Daiquiri Bar & Grill, marking her first major live appearance since stepping away. The moment symbolizes a full-circle return bringing her renewed purpose, deeper perspective, and emotional authenticity back into her music and performance.

This reintroduction is anchored by her latest single, “D.N.D (Do Not Disturb)”, a bold, confident anthem about protecting peace, purpose, and personal growth. The track reflects her evolution as both an artist and a woman, capturing the clarity that comes from choosing intention over distraction. It’s fearless, empowering, and unapologetically strong.

Yet, even as her music continues to rise, it is The Way Shawn Sees It that stands at the heart of this new chapter. The book represents Yassie’s willingness to slow down, to listen, and to lead with compassion. In an industry driven by constant visibility, she chose impact over immediacy, proving that true success is measured not only by applause, but by purpose.

Yassie’s journey has never followed a straight line. From early national and international success with “Vibe With Me,” to performing the national anthem for the Memphis Hustle, to soundtrack placements on Tubi and Peacock, her path has been marked by resilience, faith, and emotional depth. Losing her mother to cancer at a young age shaped her profoundly, teaching her to treasure life, trust God, and walk boldly in purpose.

That same spirit lives in her writing, her music, and her return to the stage.

With the release of The Way Shawn Sees It and her highly anticipated performance, Yassie is stepping into a season defined by authenticity, courage, and impact. This is more than a comeback, it is a testimony of love, faith, and unwavering purpose.
