Just Watch Me

By: Judge Rosemarie Aquilina

Narrated by: Judge Rosemarie Aquilina

A powerful memoir about finding your voice and using it to change the world - created specifically for the audio format.

Judge Rosemarie Aquilina made headlines with her unprecedented judicial decisions during the Nassar sentencing hearing, but in a life filled with unconventional choices and bold decisions, this was only one of her many extraordinary moments. In this empowering memoir, Judge Aquilina finally shares her own deeply personal story.

Every time Rosemarie was told she couldn’t do something, her response was a resounding, “Just watch me”. She lived these words, first, as a young woman when told she couldn’t pursue a career in the male-dominated legal field. Next, as a government staffer when told she couldn’t be a Judge Advocate General Officer in the Michigan National Guard and a mother. And finally, as a judge when told she should not allow every Sister Survivor to speak in the Nassar case.

Through it all, Judge Aquilina’s grit and perseverance resulted in a uniquely courageous life story. Now she’ll inspire you to make your own bold choices and stand strong in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

Absolutely astonishing

Absolutely loved this read. Loved to get to know you better through your writing. Loved to listen to this. Great great great.

Phenomenal!

"Just Watch Me" may quite frankly be the best Memoir I have heard. No holds barred. Stark truths from one hell of a woman.
Just hearing this Memoir made me want to cut my boot straps and fly like I know I can. It made me want to be the best version of myself. To see through the pain of an angry person (including myself) to RESPOND the humanity underneath rather than REACT in anger. Hurt people, hurt people.
There are exceptions. Larry Nassar is one of them. He has no remorse, doesn't think he did anything wrong, and he deserves to go away forever.
Rosemarie is measured, and I believe ...Fair in her judgment of everyone.
I also loved how she went a bit redneck on her family after she went through amazing feats with her busy schedule to make them a beautiful dinner, only to be met with resistance and ingratitude, She had finally reached her wits end and poured TANG all over that gorgeous dinner. I don't think she was met with the same ingratitude after that. ;) Hearing this made me laugh out loud because I too, have my breaking point. We all do.
I just loved this Memoir, I think you will too.

Inspirational on so many levels

Fantastic audiobook - important and inspirational. Judge Aquilina wants to heal without any personal or political agenda. She lets nothing stand in the way of what she want to achieve for herself and society. Everyone should listen to her story!

Rosemarie is a badass

I had so much admiration for Rosemarie before listening to this book, and now it’s grown. I love her mindset, attitude and vulnerability.

I know you better now.

What I love about this book, is that you are not afraid to share your whole life and how you have chosen to navigate through it.
I understand more how your courtroom is run, and who you are as a person - or more a woman. And, how you understand what victims need. And, I love the phrase "What do you want me to know?" And, I believe you have answered that question for us. You have given us what we would like to know about you. Who you are and why. Thanks for being you. I hope you continue to do your magnificent things.
