So I was looking at Sandra Rose’s blog site, and I noticed an article she posted about Karrine Steffans being on the cover of Today’s Black Woman Magazine.
So, nosy me decided to do some investigating. Yep, it’s true. Many people do not think that she deserves to be on the cover of the mag, and many of them want to execute a protest against her.
First of all, I respect Karrine for having the courage to release her demons to the world in two best selling books, despite the criticism. Who would have thought that it would have made her millions? But what I don’t like about her is that it seems like she never learned from her own experiences, even though she claimed to have written her books so that others can learn from what she’s done, wrong or right.
Even more so, I hate the fact that people ACT like they can not relate to her on some level. Karrine had feelings of desperation, and many of us have had the same feelings. She’s had to do what she had to do in order to survive, and many of us did the same thing. And like my very good friend Fred would say to me “Everyone has had their times when they acted out like a whore.” He’s right-- I know I’m no angel, and Karrine does not profess herself to be one either.
My point is this: maybe in your opinion she went about her business the wrong way. If that’s your opinion, that’s fine. But don’t front like you can’t relate to her feelings in some way, because you probably can.
