“By the bodega,
Iron under my coat, feeling braver,
Durag wrapping my waves up, pockets full of hope,
Do not step to me, I’m awkward,
I box lefty, and often,
My pops left me an orphan,
My momma wasn’t home…”
“…Could not stress to me I wasn’t GROWN,
Especially on nights I brought something home, to quiet the stomach rumblings,
“My demeanor, 30 years my senior,
My CHILDHOOD didn’t mean much,
Only RAISING green up,
RAISING my finger to critics,
RAISING my head to the sky,”

Bravoholics… we are unhinged in the most unserious way.
At #BravoCon we really gave a standing ovation to a woman who went to jail for her fourth DUI just for…completing her sentence???
Like babes, she did HORRIBLE things and we’re out here cheering, “Yass queen, you’re perfect!”
