My Own Terms

Leaving Philadelphia could only mean one thing for Shana, a new beginning. She had no choice; she was forced out. Her husband couldn’t accept her leaving him and he made every attempt to make her come back. The stalking of friends and family members was too much for her to handle. She had a way out and it was three thousand miles away. Drastic times call for drastic measures. A drastic move is exactly what she desperately needed. Despite her not knowing anyone but her one friend, she relocated with hopes of building a new life. Even with her making a cross country move, her husband continues to be a major roadblock in her endeavor to start over.
Shana’s love for men will never die, but her willingness to be with just one had. There are too many men out there for her to settle down with just one who would inevitably do her dirty. She’s only been in her new life for a week, and already has three men lusting after her. She only discloses part of her past to these men, conveniently leaving out the part about her being stalked by her husband. No matter how hard she tries to dodge the issue, the truth finds its way to the light.
Come what may, she is determined to live her life on her terms…
A Reflection of Me

He had never been to one, always heard how powerful and moving they were; still he never made it. Living in Philly and not being involved in the whole Neo Soul movement was like a sin. Every week there were at least ten, probably more, spots that held open mic nights for spoken word artists. He knew the days and times of these events, but never gathered enough courage to ever step foot in one. For him it was more than just attending, it was more like he needed to be a part of the show. Shawnee just needs to kick those nerves and everything will be alright. But can he do it?
