When I was…
When I was 11, I was in 6th grade and one of my assignments was to write and illustrate my very own book. I decided to write about a spoiled affluent girl named Mary whose mom sends her to Compton to learn about the “real world” after she throws her escargot plate at the wall. During this journey of personal epiphanies, she witnesses gang violence, crack being dealt to kids her age, corrupt & lazy cops, and prostitution.
