"When sisters talk, the world should stop, listen, and swim in the magic they offer us. Rochelle Brock's work gives us a reason to do just that. It is equal parts raw, poetic, sobering and inspiring. Her voice resonates throughout the text in thunderous form. What a powerful text."-Christopher Emdin, Teachers College#HipHopEd
