Black Butterfly

People spent my childhood telling me I was too dark, too tall, and too ugly.

My mama told me they were wrong.

Then I met Tyron Ford.

He was chubby, funny, missing a front tooth, and carried a basketball everywhere he went. Somehow, he became my best friend.

For years, we were inseparable.

Until one day... we weren't.

Childhood friends. Family drama. Church gossip. First heartbreak. First love.

This is the story of how we grew up.

And how I learned that being loved by someone else means nothing if you don't love yourself first.
