London,England a city which is always lively with no dull moments. Living in the capital is not as it seems when your from the 'dirty' south. South East London, is known for its high crime rates,gangs and teenage pregnancy.

No one wants to get out there though they see it as home. Me, I'm trying to get out of this place as quickly as I can. I don't want to be a statistic, I want to achieve more than the average.

I'm not exotic mix from all different countries, my parents are from Jamaica and St. Kitts so I'm  just simply a Black girl. Yes, I'm the only girl 😔. Welcome to the ups and downs of my life.
