The times, trials, tribulations and triumphs of The GhettoDeva. A woman of substance integrity with moral values and standards, she is articulate and brilliant, dispelling the notion that ALL females in the hood are loud belligerent and ignorant hoodrats, we have Deva’s in the ghetto. To not just condone, join, and go along with the ills and wrongs in the hood. Stand up to and speak against senseless violence, don’t allow the streets to kill our kids and poison their minds, but take pride in where we live, promote education, entrepreneurship, pursue a career, and make wise life choices. Instilling a relationship with GOD is vital and very important—the key pathway to a quality life. Successful in your own right, being the best version of who you are meant to be, not following negativity, stay true to thyself and leaving the world a better place than we found it. That’s the real hustle. Some of the most prolific, amazing, successful, influential, and talented people come from the hoods and ghettos across America and around the world. The intricate essential roles we play as mothers, at times both parents, We have to! We must! Do better. Our influence is profound and crucial; it cannot be just about outer appearance. Your mind, body, soul, and spirit have to be resilient, yet loving, genuine, and authentic in your divine feminine power. This is the essence of a GhettoDeva, We Can Do This!
