you know, folks wanna talk shit about women like her, but no one is born doing what she did to get by.
honestly? i could have wound up where she is. after reading a little about her background, there wasn't much need to go farther. or pass judgement. i could see what was coming.
many women have been bumped and bruised far too early in life. we carry scars we can't show and don't know how to talk about. result: a need for love, acceptance and validation, often expressed by usin what you've got to get what you want.
i often say that, had i not had the parents, family, and friends i did, my life could have taken a far different route. fortunately i was able to find myself in a overwhelmingly healthy, productive way.
but a lot of us are only one relationship or left turn away...
i don't envy her struggles or the karma she's built up over the years. but i understand her--at least to a point.
will i be buying her book? no.
but i support her struggle to redeem her womanhood.
sapphire does an excellent job of describing the fallout without the name dropping glitz.
karrine & sapphire are rather extreme sides of the same coin...but there are plenty of us who fall somewhere in the middle.
