So here's the scoop below, ENJOY!!
EVERYONE GETCHA FIRST AID KITS OUT!
Well, it's that time again! I'm so happy that we all finally got our schedules together so that we could meet up and have some gurl time! First, I would like to thank everyone for working together around my working schedule. It has not been easy to work, take care of home and all the activities for the summer and then plan the book club meeting. So, thanks so much for being patient:) Now, lets get down to business…….
Keep the Faith by Faith Evans was the book that was picked for our third meeting. This book made me realize some things. First, that Faith portrayed herself as a hoe. Why in the world would you want to continue sleeping with someone when you caught a venerial disease from them? Second, let me back up and start from the beginning. Faith was raised as a good church going young lady who had a wonderful voice. Early on she discovered her love for music, and her talent in the church was something spectacular! I was most interested in her early life; even though she didn't live with her mom because her mom couldn't take care of her, her pretend grandparents were doing a pretty good job at raising her. They also had many kids that didn't have homes come and live with them. It was a curse and a blessing. When she decided to go into the direction of music, as many solo artist do, she started singing groups that didn't make it far. But she believed in herself and pressed on to do music her way. After moving on from boyfriend to boyfriend, she finally got the opportunity to sing for a big name producer named Teddy Reilly. Although, she didn't think much about him signing her, she had high hopes. When that failed, she then moved on to the next boyfriend who was abusive and made her afraid to talk to anyone of the opposite sex. Then she ran into a long time friend who was making music, and when she really wasn't paying any attention to him or his business, that's when she got the opportunity to sing for Sean "Puffy" Combs. From there, it was the start of her career. Signing with Bad Boy Records, meeting the Notorious BIG, having a few kids, and finding out about her estranged husbands other women to his success and to his murder that shocked the hip hop nation. And let's not forget the West Coast/East Coast - Tupac drama. From beginning to end, we thought the book was full of contradictions that lead us to question: Did Faith lie in her own autobigraphy?? Was this book worth the read? You be the judge.......
