Justice Nodd is not your ordinary author. At a young age, she became accustomed to the stares of strangers, the unspoken questions in their eyes as they took in her appearance. But instead of letting those moments define her in a negative way, she turned them into inspiration—fuel for a powerful story of resilience, self-love, and hope.
Her book, True Beauty: Inspired by a Burn Survivor, co-written with her mother, is more than just a story—it’s a movement. In an exclusive interview, Nodd opens up about her journey, the challenges of writing such a personal narrative, and the profound impact her words have had on readers.
From Stares to Stories: The Birth of an Author
Nodd’s inspiration to write came from a lifetime of feeling different. “I always wondered what people were really thinking when they looked at me,” she admits. But it was her mother’s unwavering belief in her that planted the seed for True Beauty. “My mom told me I was special and that one day, my story would inspire millions. At the time, I didn’t understand—but now, I do.”
The Rewards and Challenges of Sharing Her Truth
The most rewarding part of writing True Beauty, Nodd says, is hearing how it has changed lives. One reader, a young girl with a rare skin condition, refused to wear shorts or skirts—until she read Nodd’s book. “She told me that after reading it, she felt beautiful enough to finally show her legs. That’s why I do this.”
But spreading her message hasn’t been easy. “It’s challenging when you have a small voice in a big world,” she says. Still, she remains determined to reach as many people as possible.
Harmony: A Reflection of Herself
The book’s protagonist, Harmony, mirrors Nodd in many ways—her kindness, her optimism, and her journey toward self-acceptance. “Harmony has so much growing to do throughout the series,” Nodd explains. “I want readers to experience all her emotions, her struggles, and her triumphs.”
A Mother-Daughter Collaboration
Writing True Beauty alongside her mother was a deeply personal experience. “My mom is a genius,” Nodd laughs. “She helped me articulate my thoughts without losing the message.” Together, they aim to share not just their struggles but their joys, blending fun storytelling with powerful life lessons.
The Heart of the Message: Self-Love and Resilience
At its core, True Beauty is about embracing who you are. “This book is for everyone, no matter what their background,” Nodd emphasizes. “It’s about friendship, family, hope, and resilience.”
For those struggling with self-acceptance, her advice is simple yet profound: “The world will always set false expectations. But if you have people who love and support you, that’s what matters. Accept yourself first—you are a true beauty.”
What’s Next for Justice Nodd?
Fans won’t have to wait long for more from Nodd. A sequel to True Beauty is in the works, promising an exciting twist. She’s also released Vampire Dad, a unique tale blending fantasy and familial love, inspired by her own father’s work travels. And later this year, she’ll debut Little Ladybug, another heartfelt story.
A Message to Her Younger Self
If she could go back in time, Nodd’s advice to her younger self would be clear: “Never give up, no matter what. You can do anything if you keep going.”
With her unwavering spirit and dedication to uplifting others, Justice Nodd is proving that true beauty isn’t about appearance, it’s about strength, love, and the courage to share your story with the world.
