She has a steady job as a Home Health Aid. However, Sharon is dissatisfied with her life’s choices, but she lives vicariously through Marcus’ success. For that reason, Marcus is her “pride and joy”. Kevin is envious of this relationship and harness animosity because of it. Sharon is aware of this and tries her best to warn Marcus of his brothers influence. She wants so desperately to shield Marcus, but she knows she can’t, because he looks up to his older brother. Perhaps, she’s shielding him from his brother, maybe himself or maybe her secrets.

✊🏽 #MaxineWaters, Congressional Black Caucus, 28 Years Ago, 1992, after the four police officers captured on video savagely beating Rodney King, were ACQUITTED!
This is not a new fight for us, but it’s one that we’re tired of fighting. Black people are tired of systematic racism, police brutality and inequality in America. Decent people are tired of watching us being oppressed.
Now, in 2020, we say, “No, more!” The #MelaninMovementUSA has put forth ‘A Black Agenda’ to demand that our interests are prioritized this election. THIS IS A HUMAN FIGHT!! PLEASE READ, SIGN AND SHARE THE PETITION SO WE CAN PRESENT IT TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
OUR TIME IS NOW! Unless we demand it, our grandchildren will fight this fight in 30 more years.
It’s only takes a minute...
