Unbreakable

It's not easy to get 5 shot-calling women in one room. Some of us have graduate degrees. Some of us have white-collar jobs. And some of us have kids. But in the 10 days that I was in Hawaii with Roza, Elayne, Arlene, and Nani, we forgot about our individual accomplishments, struggles, heartaches and proceeded to one-up each other with dirty jokes, unabashed honesty, and our own rendition of the Twerk Team. (One that you'll never see, ha).

I'm proud to say that all of my best girlfriends are equally bosses in their own rite. We've all come from backgrounds that could cripple the strongest men, yet somehow survived to grow closer and more loyal to the ones that made it out.

Thank you Carol, another amazingly strong woman, for documenting this trip. Here's to another 20 years of friendship, fobkeys, and Jah-vayan music.
