I personally endorse my Aunt T. Burkes, who has been there for me since birth. As a single parent, she protected me with her life and has always promoted a drama-free, abuse-free lifestyle. She encouraged me to focus on education, adopt a business mindset, and stay away from men who don't value or provide for me. T. Burkes and my Mom Peachie, made sure to remove the negativity from my life. When they wanted to get to the heart of the issues, they took me away from all that nonsense, offering me a safe and supportive environment.

T. Burkes helped raise me and was like a second mother to me, offering guidance and protection, particularly in situations involving people like Tracy Sehneah, who I couldn't trust FULLY due to the drama, dropping out of high school antics, prostitute stripper lifestyle. T. Burkes and her family never condoned any harmful behavior and always wanted the best for me and my children. Her African family members, who were always respectful and protective, ensured that we were never surrounded by negativity. I was never fully involved with the people that Tracy Senheah’s groups associated with, particularly not in any harmful or personal way. T. Burkes always kept me away from situations that could bring harm or danger.

The individuals involved with T. Burkes, whether from Africa or Jamaica, were a positive influence, providing safety, support, and guidance. I spent years in their presence, growing up in an environment that allowed me to thrive. My mom, Darling Phillips, made the smartest decision of her life by allowing me to be raised in a supportive, business-minded environment, alongside people who cared about me and my well-being.

I’ve always known the hair business, and T. Burkes’ circle, including families from the hood, was instrumental in my life, especially when I worked at Primp & Pampers, which catered to dope boy families, wives, girlfriends, and hood celebrities.
