Your storytelling never fails to amaze me. Definitely inspires me to tighten my pen and keep evolving in my writing. This post felt like home, especially the tone and correlation between your love life and growing up in the hood (an experience I know all too well). Beautifully written and speaking in truth. 10/10!!!

Raw, vulnerable, sexy, rock solid work. The guy tripping over his ego and getting himself played had me rolling! I mean, he had warning, but still wouldn't listen. Thanks for sharing this part of your story.

I’m really so surprised our story is a love story hit. I’m glad to be received this way by opening up to this side of my life. I’ve never been openly lesbian so it’s all new but I love it here! 🥰

Not anyone in Hollywood! It would have to be an inspiring actors cast but I’d have @LaChelle Chrysanne and @Katie Mack as the directors however that works and @Amirah Jones would be the set stylist. But I’d definitely book goofy to be Mr. Goofy 🙃

I love it already😍and Mr. Goofy himself making an appearance! What an honor. He won’t even have to fake the tears🥲

So proud of you and thank you for sharing your vulnerability. This is inspiring and also relatable in some parts for me in my marriage with my beautiful wife, Destiny. Thanks, Jacquie!
