Charlee always looked up to her big sister Danita for her courage and strength. Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, these girls learned very quickly how the impoverished world in which they lived viewed Black women and girls. A home invasion gone awry leaves these girls living in fear every day of their young lives. Until betrayals are revealed. The girls resolve to always be in control of their minds, bodies and lives. They decide to chase their bag using their allure as the bait. Their clientele included men and women all over WNY, including teachers at their school, those corner boys, the tourists willing to spend hundreds, the whale willing to spend thousands, even "Buffalo's Finest". The girls all meet in high school as classmates where they decide to partner up, employing their beauty, their skills to become the most sought after faces on Backpage.com. Once you let them in though, no crime was beneath them in the name of cash. They rode men into poverty, they straddled their faces and took their clients for all they could. They destroyed any who would attempt to betray them. They killed all who stood in their way, even those they called "sisters". Based on several true stories.

For readers of The Knowledge Gap, Race to the Bottom, and The Inequality Machine, education and equity strategist Brian Rashad Fuller sheds a stark light on America's public schools, the miseducation of students of color, and the action required to make tangible changes and reforms to a failing and racialized educational system. With a foreword from Harriet Tubman's great-grand nephew, Abdul Tubman. In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating, as proved by the "school to prison" pipeline that so many students have experienced. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face in elite and predominantly white universities and spaces, dissects "Black exceptionalism" in the schooling experience, and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system--as illustrated by the critical race theory debate--but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward. It is a book essential to our challenging times.
