What's A Homie

A Los Angeles native, who became a product of the streets

at the mere age of fifteen enhanced her chances for survival as a hustler of many trades

eventually transforming into a gang member belonging to the Rollin 90’s neighborhood

Crip. In and out of Juvenile Halls and Camps, she graduated to the County Jail where she

continued the “in and out'' pattern, ultimately landing her in a California Women’s State

Prison sentenced to six years. During her incarceration, Sxnbad maintained her gang

principles at the sametime maturing mentally. After being stabbed in the eye and almost

losing sight, she took a step back to reanalyze her life; not wanting to live up to the

stereotype of “just another gang banger that didn’t amount to anything”, instead choosing to

change the dynamics of history concluding the facts that she refused to be handicap or

incapable of becoming successful and wanting to live in order to leave an honorable legacy

similar to that of Nipsey Hussle (RIP); thus far being a gang banger who applied their

knowledge further than their struggle. Talented and creative, Sxnbad enjoys sharing her

passion and lucrative thoughts with others through multi avenues such as rapping, drawing

and now Urban fiction as she hopes to shine light on real life experiences to educate

mankind on the trials and tribulations of America’s urban culture that you can't “Google”

and no one wants to really talk about. Furthermore, making her debut onto the literary

scene with her very first fictional novel “What’s A Homie”.
