reality continued to creep up on her. With a mom on the verge
of becoming an alcoholic and an alcoholic crack-addicted father
who use to beat her mom in front of her, who could blame Tiara
for finding a family on the streets.
Tiara’s loyalty to her friends was undeniable. The
crew consisted of, Tiara, Tamika, Shavon, Renee, Ke Ke and
Karen. They jumped, robbed and fought other girls who stood
in their way. When trouble surfaced, the crew had no problems
with getting their hands dirty. Tiara was faithful to her
crew handling any drama that presented itself. But when jealousy
get’s the best of friends, things continued to get ugly.
With an older brother Tre James wrapped deeply into the streets

Tragedy continued to hit home and Tiara’s life continued
to go down hill. She lost people who she loved and trusted
the most to death, jail or betrayal. From welfare, section
8, jail, drugs, abusive relationships and lies, Tiara’s
future seems uncertain. Will she finally rise above the drama
that meets her at every corner, or remain trapped in the jaws
of the hood? Brace yourself as Tiara James takes you on a
rollercoaster ride in her footsteps, in her hood, telling
her story.
