LAILA KINCAID

Born into an accepting family, Laila Kincaid grew up embracing the comfort of her own skin. Her childhood was almost perfect until tragedy struck and reality flooded her senses. She forced herself to grow up and learned about injustices at a young age. Now in college, Laila was determined to bring awareness to problems in her community, but she's not sure if that's what she was destined for. She's stuck between who she wants to be, who she truly is, and the revolutionary that everyone sees her as. Pray for her.

MESSIAH NIGHT

Beautiful black boy, Messiah Night followed his father's large footsteps with calculation. Where Mr. Night marched, Messiah skated. Being the youngest boy in his household, everyone expected for Messiah to follow his brothers' paths and join the military just like their father. But he didn't want to. He made a deal with his parents — if he kept his grades up for the first semester, they'd allow him to stay in school. If not, he'd be standing in line with the Night Brothers. Pray for him.
