Keshawn "KeKe" Flower is an 8 year old little girl who was taken in by her grandparents. Though Compton, Ca. was where she resided, the household and neighborhood in which she lived was far from ghetto. As a matter of fact it was close to perfection. Unforeseen circumstances forces KeKe into the street life. Gang banging, dope selling, and numerous robberies are the highlights of her new life. It was go hard or go home and unfortunately there was no home. The demon inside KeKe had turned into the Incredible Hulk. She flips the city upside down killin' everything in sight. Rage is her new best friend and the streets of Los Angeles are learning first hand what KeKe brings to the game. Excerpt: After numerous failures at convincing me to get out and work the track for him, he changed his approach. "You pretty as a muthafucka, I know you would make more money than all dem hoes out there put together," he said. Queen B.G. was raised by her grandparents in Compton, Ca for the early part of her life. The foundation in which her grandparents provided aided her in succeeding in many things. At the age of 12 she was sent back to live with her parents inLos Angeles, Ca. It was there that she was introduced to the street life. Coming from a long line of gang members and not having too many options, she became a gang member herself at the age of 13. Her childhood consisted of violence, drugs, and nonsense. With her parents not being able to supply her with the foundation she craved so deeply things went down hill quickly. The constant contact with police, the lost of far too many loved ones, and being homeless opened her eyes to the reality of what the streets really had to offer her, NOTHING. And this is where her writing progressed. Now a mother herself, she is determined to be everything she didn't have in her parents as a child. Writing was always a passion of hers and an outlet for her frustrations. Never in a million years did she think it would become something so powerful in her life. As a writer and the President of Cali Connection, she hopes to be and remain a voice for all of those living the street life or that are homeless or just simply feeling alone out here in the world. She wishes to be motivation for anyone who thinks this is it and it gets no better. She's a real testament to the fact that anything is possible. With integrity and humbleness she embraces herself as a Queen not only in the game but in life. She currently resides in Los Angeles, Ca. with her four children and spends her free time enjoying quality time with them. Her novel, Dealt the Wrong Hand, is the first of many more books to come. Real Talk with Queen B.G
Q: So how long have you been writing? A: I always loved to write but I've been writing with purpose for about 10years. Q: What inspired you to write? A: My life's journey. It was how I vented and coped with life. I found that the easiest and most powerful way to express myself was when using a pen. Q: Who are some of the authors you look up to? A: There are so many but I would definitely have to say Wahida Clark, K'wan, Omar Tyree, and JM Benjamin. Q: What is the title of your book and what is it about? A: Dealt the Wrong Hand is a story of a young girl who is forced out of her comfort zone and into making grown up decisions. She links up with the wrong crowd and gets so deep in the game she's lost. With her life falling apart before her eyes she terrorizes the streets and finds herself torn between breaking the code of the streets or sentencing an innocent victim to death. Q: What do you hope to accomplish with this story? A: I want to bring hope and shed light on the hood. There are young girls and boys going through this same situation everyday and may feel like no one understands. I want them to look at me and see themselves, not only in the content of my book but in the success of my life. And I want to open these grown men and women eyes to the effect they have on kids lives, whether at home or in the neighborhood. Q: When you're not writing what do you do? A: I'm either working or spending quality time with my family. Q: Can we expect anything more in the future? A: Definitely! This is only the beginning of many more to come.
