The Black Community is a proud race of people, no stranger to oppression and have librated themselves times and times again. Yet they still fight for liberation, but in a variant of ways- This story, however will focus on the things they don't talk much about. They can talk about racism- But rarely place their focus on the fact that isn't just the white man to blame, but ourselves as well. This is a story which focuses on the poison which plagues us. Gangs, black-on-black crime, materialism and mental health.
Characters like Keith who struggle with his gang association, or Danine who drowns herself in infidelity to quell her demons. The youth is troubled.. So we follow them on this existential journey.

Loyalty & Lies
In the streets of Atlanta, loyalty is everything-until secrets start unraveling. Sienna Carter is the definition of a ride-or-die, a good girl with a strong mind, a soft heart, and a backbone of steel. She's always played by the rules, focusing on her future, her family, and staying out of drama. But when a one-night mistake leads to a pregnancy, her entire world flips upside down. Her overprotective brother's best friend, MJ-a man who's been in her life forever but never in that way. At least, that's what everyone thought. Behind closed doors, MJ was always there-especially after her brother was killed. But now, with her secret growing by the day and MJ acting like he doesn't know her outside of stolen moments, Sienna's patience is running thin. Enter Dre-the city's most wanted bachelor and the man who's had his eye on Sienna since she stepped on campus. He's got charm, money, and power, and he doesn't take no for an answer. He wants Sienna, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to have her, even if it means stepping on MJ's toes. With betrayal, hidden agendas, and unspoken truths threatening to tear everything apart, Sienna has to decide who to trust, who to let go, and who's really been for her this whole time. In a world where loyalty is tested and lies are exposed, one thing is for sure-nothing will ever be the same.
