KIM is my HOMEGIRL!

Kimberly States- enough said!!! I am a huge fan of her.

What a story. It is kind of like a car accident that you can't help but stare at as you drive by. She had a roller coaster of a life and is a great example of what our society has done to the African-American community as well as women in general. The fact that she is still alive is a triumph in itself all things considered. I thought stories like hers were only on television and definitely not as entertaining, she has found her calling and i wish her great success.

On a serious note, this woman has been through hell and back and I can't seem to find anyone to blame directly other than society as a whole. Her parents were not only the ones who failed her, or the relatives that took advantage of her at a young age either, but all of them and some more indirect ones as well. The racial segregation that we had and still have today that divided communities, the drug dealers, the teachers, and pretty much everyone to some degree failed this woman. She said it best when describing the walk outside your door to find a dealer at every corner so blatantly in your face. In my neighborhood, we had ice cream trucks and carts everywhere, like normal children with a future of obesity dreamed of. I applaud her and the message she sends and hope that some reform will happen in our lifetime to prevent and aid the other Kim's out there.
