    I'm so addicted to her passion, to her spirit, to her style of writing, to her real, to her dopeness, to her raw attitude and black girl magic. She's amazing so so amazing

      She is the light and the a vessel through her word of truth. How she runs through your mind and make you think! Dope writer, realist, most important her story is felt !
