so many mini-stories and scenes pop into my head & i have absolutely no time to develop them into full novels so I'm making a book of one shots. This book will feature people that I feel should be utilized more in fanfics or be casted in leading roles in novels on here more. This will also be another platform for me to showcase the multi-dimensionality of african americans. so enjoy.

Works #1: Ahmad Hassan Sinclair, 25, was taught to always fight and work hard for what he wanted. In the life he was given nothing was ever handed to him. He grew up in the hoods of Houston, witnessing things no child should ever see in their life. His mom and pop worked hard just tryna make ends meet, to keep food on the table and clothes on their kids back. But it was far from easy .. Seeing his parents struggle the way they did for years, motivated him to work ten times harder. He made it a mission to not end up like his folks, he wanted more in life. He knew there was more to life than what he grew up seeing. But he also knew in order to be somebody in this world as a black man he had to fight and strive for it and also dodge the bullshit that came along with it. He set goals, he had dreams, he had a vision and nothing could stop him from achieving them. Now that he's at the top of his game, making money, living the live he always wanted, seeing the things he never seen and moving up the success path .. he figured life would eventually turn out to be great but sadly he still isn't happy or content with how things are.. there's this one missing piece in his life that will fully complete him. But let's see how determined Ahmad will be to find what that missing piece is or what he will do to get it.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to be happy regardless?" I asked him with wide eyes. "Even it it's not with you?" He sighed and rubbed over his face, something he often did when he was irritated. "Nadia I just can't and won't accept that" He shook his head. "He's what makes me happy Xabrien." "I can't believe you leaving me alone for a white boy."

D'Anthony Carlos has skated through life always being protected. When you're related to the biggest drug cartel in the DMV you gotta be protected. When all of your uncles are the most feared and respected you automatically garner the same attention. With his head held high he maneuvered through life not giving a damn. Not about the stares, whispers and rumors that surrounded his last name. People think they know him, but they have no idea. More detailed description in story...

"Life is a test It will break you or drive you Into the ground In the game of survival." Growing up in the Bronx was never easy for Talia Rose or as the streets knew her as " Tommie". With a mother who never seemed to care till her death and a father who fell into the arms of oppression before she even got the chance to establish a relationship with him. Tommie has always been on her own doing what she has to do to survive , all she find all she keep. The summer of 1977' will make or break Tommie, what happens when she finds love in the Bronx, something shes never knew to even exist. Will she fall into the oppression of the Bronx like her father or will she survive and conquer? Guess we will see.

The summer before going into one of the most important phases in her life, that being college, was just the absolute wrong time to fall in love for Atiyya. She had so much ahead of herself, so many options. I mean, Kaleb wasn't the only boy in the world. But they had known each other since birth almost and they had this connection that he and her both knew they weren't going to get from anywhere else. Kaleb had too much on his plate. Coming from a dead beat mother and an alcoholic father, he was trying to be better than the both of them could ever be and he didn't need distractions. He only wanted Atiyya's friendship, nothing more, nothing less. But as time progressed and the two rekindled their friendship after Kaleb's long hiatus, they began to realize that just maybe they wanted more. ----- I'm not gonna give some long synopsis of this book like I originally planned to. I will however say that, my readers have trusted me with every other book I have written and I just want you guys and any one new to trust me with this one too. I got y'all.
