Malenda and August's life can be compared to a piece of paper that has been balled up and then tried to be straightened out. At this point, everything that they have been through has caused some sort of damage. Somehow, they are still holding up. If that piece of paper gets wet, their whole world can come crumbling back down and eventually fall apart. Getting another piece of paper and starting over fresh isn't easy either. It's almost impossible. Who knew that one of the two's vulnerability could be the cause of an overall state of fragility?

It's been simple for O'Shae; You go to school all your life, get a degree, get a good paying job, kids, a nice home and live out your years in retirement when it's all said and done.

She knows there's much more to life than what she's seen and she knows she can do more than the All-American-Dream, she just never had anyone to show her what more she can do. August has not had it easy in the least bit. Hustling his way althrough life and finally graduating high school, he doesn't know what to do next, until an acceptance letter from a college comes in the mail. No one would expect the name to be August's, but it is and now it's time for the hustle to go to school. A BeautyAndTheBrain original.
