This story came on a few months back. Always good to see people rise above fukked up circumstances. She was dealt a fukked up hand and has done more with her life than many people who had every advantage handed to them.


Man when she caught and passed old girl and set the new state record.

[N.Y. State of Mind]

This young lady could lose every track event she participates in for the rest of her life and she will still be a winner. She's had to deal with more adversity in her short life than most of us will have to deal with in a lifetime. To endure and overcome so many trials and tribulations is nothing short of amazing.




to Latipha Cross......and to her strength, courage, and perseverance.
