Nya gives recollection of her life from ages 6-18 years of age, highlighting her difficulties with love and developing a healthy relationship with her mother. With poor coping skills, she learns the hard way about boys and teen parenting. Nya finds her strength in her education and her friends which leads her to a path of success.

How does one become resilient, tenacious, impulsive yet warm? 94th & Racine gives insight to the “angry Black girl” phenomenon. Readers will be inspired and encouraged as they learn how one doesn’t always fall victim to the stereotypes of those living in the inner city. It will motivate others to find peace despite their circumstances. It’s a good read for those who struggle to be diamonds in a pool full of glass.
