Challenge
Normal people don’t have destinies.
Of course, I never tell them that. When they come into my shop, I take their palms solemnly—after I take their payment, $25 cash or card—and stare into the blankness of their futures with undue reverence. Day after day, year after year, they come: the businessmen and the soccer moms, the mailroom clerks, dentists, and hairstylists of the world. The politicians and the theologians, too. The young and the old, the hopeful and the hopeless, the sceptics and the true believers. They all come and its always the same.

The Princess of Her People
They think they own us. They think we are property. They think we are nobodies. I come to tell my people. We are free. We are something. We are able. We are mighty. For I am your princess, Yoli. As Yoli exclaimed at a classroom protest. She was the daughter of chiefs and princesses of Africa. She was tired of the oppression. She was fed up with the lies and maltreatment. She was hurt over the inhumanity. She would fight back tears as guns were pointed at her fellow classmates. She would fight back tears as she saw the struggle was real. Her home, her school, her job, and her country were at war with her people. And this was just the beginning, she would see more and more atrocities. Yet she refused to back down. She refused to give in. She refused to be afraid. She was a Queen in waiting and a verified Princess of her People.
