NEW YORK — May 2026 — What does it truly mean to be classy? Not the version tied to wealth or designer labels — but the kind earned through loss, reinvention, and the courage to keep showing up. Staten Island resident and debut author Berthille Metoua answers that question with 26 chapters, one for each letter of the alphabet, in The ABCs of Classy.
The release date is no coincidence. "Every obstacle that changed my path kept inspiring me," Metoua says. "I could not understand why. Now I do."

Each chapter delivers mindset & method — from the BMW dining rule (Bread, Meal, Water) and wardrobe planning, to grief navigation, wealth mindset, and the kind of quiet confidence. The book has drawn early comparisons to Michelle Obama's Becoming, Mel Robbins' The Let Them Theory, and The Etiquette Advantage in Business. Metoua is also the creator of the Classy Check app at ClassyCheck.com.
