Listen?

 Mommy once told me, and I have never forgotten thah shit:

"Meredith! This life is about eighty percent of your looks!"

That statement slapped my young Black broke sorry muh fuckin ass in thah face!

And she continued,

"And you're not hard on the eyes at all!"

'That's because you're my Mother!'

"No! It's because I tell you the truth! You remember what I said about Eric? My son? Your Brother?"

'Yes.'...

(Peace! More to come...)
