I still remember the very first day we met. I was a Freshman at L.I.U., sitting in my Sociology class on a snowy January evening when in walks a young lady with 6 inch Leather boots, a fierce Leather jacket, and a wrap that was layed to the gawdsssssssssss (2 snaps and a circle)! I remember thinking to myself the snow is atleast 2 feet deep where the hell is this heifer going in stilletos??? But I dismissed the thought as quickly as it came and started to prepare for class. I looked in my pocketbook and pulled out some MAC Lipgloss that I had just purchased. Litle miss 6" boots says to me "Thats form MAC?" I respond "yes" she says "is it new?" Now in my mind I'm thinking WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW but of course I have to be nice so I said "It was a gift!" Class began. After class lil miss 6 inch boots and I rode the 3 train together and she shared with me some information about herself. I didn't share too much thinking to myself "girl we don't have anything in common!" When I got off the train she said "Bye Khadijah! Get home safely...I smiled. Walking home from the train station, thinking about the series of events that took place that night made me feel bad.  Here it is I'm in a new school and somebody is actually trying to be friendly and I'm acting all Brownsville! (Long sory short, short story shorter) Here we are almost 10yrs later and she is still as sweet, beautiful, supportive, loving, understanding, successful, confident, uplifting encouraging, honest, and friendly as that first day in class. I notice we as women would rather condemn each other than support one another. That day in that class MY Kimmy took the opportunity and extended an olive branch and this friendship has been growing eversince! THANK YOU....Not only for taking the initiative but for teaching me that its okay to extend that same olive branch to other women. You've led by example, its greatly appreciated, you are a good friend and I love you!
