and as they got older. She was her best friend, her rock, her support, and her kids’ godmother.
    Harmony used to feel like there was nothing she could do for Jewell to compensate for her love.
    â€œI’m not there for you to get something in return, I’m there for you because we’re family,” Jewell would tell her.
    Harmony still wanted to return the favors and when Jewell finally came to her a year ago for advice, she was more than happy to give it.
    Even though it was relationship advice she was asking, something Harmony really wasn’t qualified to give, she did it the best way she knew how, by being honest, raw, and straight to the point.
    Jewell was torn between two men: her baby’s daddy and a white man, Evan, who treated her like a queen. After thinking about and talking about it constantly, Jewell ended up staying with King, her son’s father, because to her, it was the right thing to do. Plus, she still loved him and for her son Tyson, keeping her family together was worth it.
    â€œWhat’s the job? Is it at the law firm?” Harmony hoped not, because she didn’t feel ready for that, it was over her head.
    â€œWould it matter if it was?” Jewell asked. She knew why Harmony asked. “You never give yourself any credit. You’re smart, Harmony, if you don’t believe it, no one else will.”
    â€œNo, it wouldn’t matter,” Harmony responded with hesitance in her voice.
    â€œGood, I’m glad to hear that. But it’s not, it’s at the Essence of Self Center.
    â€œWhat’s that?”
    â€œElise started a nonprofit organization. She’s going to be helping women and girls get ahead by offering workshops and having a place to meet.”
    â€œShit, it sounds like the place I need to be. I’m past ready to better myself and stop depending on a man.”
    â€œGood for you, Harmony. But you know Shareef is a good man and you really shouldn’t knock or belittle what he does.”
    â€œOh, hell no! I’m not knocking it at all. I’m just ready to achieve something on my own, I’m ready to upgrade. I’m even thinking about going back to school.”
    â€œFor real?” Harmony could hear the approval in Jewell’s voice.
    â€œYep,” Harmony continued. “I think it’s time for me to get my GED and maybe even register for college.”
    As Harmony said the words out loud, she found herself feeling both excited and anxious. To say the words out loud was one thing, to put action behind them was another, but she wasn’t going to let fear stop her.
    What if she failed the GED test? What if she found that she wasn’t as smart as she thought she was? What if she turned out to be a dumb ass?
    Harmony was fed up with being a statistic, with being just another black girl who had babies way too young by different men. She was tired of being a young black girl who didn’t finish school and started fucking way too early. She didn’t want to be another black girl that wasn’t going anywhere in life.
    â€œWhat’s the position?”
    â€œAdministrative assistant.”
    â€œDoes that mean I need to know how to type?”
    â€œDo you?”
    Harmony, embarrassed, answered honestly, “Not real fast, I have to look at the keys a lot.”
    â€œWell, here’s what you do,” Jewell advised. “Go to the library, get one of those learn-how-to-type programs—better yet, download one from the Internet and start practicing right now. You need to know how to type and not just for this job, but most jobs require that skill. You’re also going to need it if you plan on going back to school.”
    Harmony knew her cousin was offering good advice and she was going to take it.
    â€œSo,” Harmony asked, “should I call and set up an interview?”
    â€œYes, she’s expecting you.”
    â€œThanks, cuz, this means a lot to
