In an interview, the Oregon native shared that she wanted to tell her story to the masses and make them feel that she is a strong individual despite facing several setbacks. She also mentioned that she wanted to write from her childhood, and to be able to write her memoir is an exciting feat for her. She said (via NBC News):

"The fact that not everybody is perfect, everybody's stories are different, I felt like now is a good time to be able to open up about my past and to make sure that people understood, 'Look, Jordan has gone through a lot,' but I am still this remarkable person. I'm still this beautiful thing standing in this position right now.

So, being able to kind of tell my story how it's supposed to be told is something I want the world to know. As a little kid, I always wanted to write a book and the first thing I get to write is, well, amazing."
