Paris recounts early modeling, trademarking the phrase “that’s hot,” lists numerous product lines (including 30 fragrances and skincare), describes her ADHD diagnosis and how it affects her work, and details a shift into advocacy after a documentary revealed widespread abuse in the teen-treatment industry (cited as a $28 billion/year industry), leading to Capitol Hill testimony and law-change efforts.
