They say a picture is worth a thousand words, when all I really want is five.

"I honestly thought that this would all be over once my cousin got arrested, but the games in Schaefer had JUST begun." -Josh.

"14th and Schaefer avenue is listed as the Number #1 dangerous city and most filled gang area in the United States. But what happens when you find out that a majority of your family members are the one's in these gangs? Well, my name is Joshua. Only being the age of 18, I know all about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the UGLIER." -Josh.

Meet 16 year old Yasmine, or as they call her, Yas. She’s a Caucasian girl with shoulder length black hair with Violet tips at the end. Like a majority of teenagers at her age, all she’s worried about is partying, smoking, drinking, and hanging out with the crowd that she’s drawn in at school. But once they take it a step too far, she winds up getting into a serious accident that leaves her in a coma. In her coma, she wakes up somewhere else that’s cloudy, blissful, and beautiful. She realizes that it’s heaven and see’s a crowd of people standing over her. These people, were the people who passed away on earth. All of these people were murdered on earth, but never received any justice. [Caylee Anthony, Natalee Halloway, The Black Dalhia, etc.] but one person that stands out that she sees that has been swarming around the news, is Trayvon Martin. After meeting these people, she asks questions and realizes everything that all of the prosecutors and police have missed for years. But what happens when she wakes out of her coma? After waking out of her coma, she realizes that the place called “Heaven" that everyone has been stressing about was actually real! But what does she tell the people in the outside world? After stressing to many people about what people in this other world has told her, everyone around her starts to think that getting into that accident made her a little “psycho", “crazy", and “mental". To visit these people in heaven, the only way she can do it is by potentially killing herself just so that she can see and talk to them. But with this, also comes the cost of people thinking that she’s suicidal or crazy, pushing her mother to take drastic measures to help control her daughters suicidal behavior. Being the only person who knows that these people in Heaven are actually communicating with her, will she be able to convince other people in the outside world on whats going on?

"Being a sex therapist ain't all it's cracked up to be. Business is business." - Dr. August.

Tremaine has lived in Harlem for her entire life. She's just another young, misbehaving black girl from a poor family. Even though she misbehaves, she's still innocent. But there's a boy on her block by the name of Rakim who can change her forever. Is there more to Rakim than Tremaine thinks? Is he more than just a local rapping dropout? For all she knows, he can be anybody. A killer, or a millionaire. But whatever she does, Tremaine can't fall for him. That would be a love crime. All rights reserved.

My mother and father always told me "Don't go near them niggers!" "Don't touch those niggers!" "Don't ever date you a nigger!" Little did mama know, is that daddy would take me to watch him slay them all day long. And little did I know, marrying a nigger would turn out to be the best decision of my life. He taught me how to work in the dark side of the world, and it actually turned out to be pretty fun. You know me as blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe, but you have no clue who I am behind these closed doors. I look like an angel, but in reality, i'm a MONSTER.

Money can't always buy Rose happiness, but what if being poor could?
