I just wanted to send more congrats out to the homie, Brook, for landing a publishing deal and will be releasing her first book in February! I am especially happy because I am a faithful reader of her blog and one of her followers on Twitter. I’ve watched in disgust how some folks have tried to play her to the left and dismissed her as a chick who couldn’t do more than working a pole. In spite of how many may prejudge, the fact is there are tons of intelligent women out there who involve themselves in things that you may not agree with but at the end of the day, there’s usually more to them than meets the eye (and I say usually because there’s still a TROTH of dumb bitches in the industry who wouldn’t ‘get it’ if you stuck it in their ass and screwed them with it). As I said last night, you shouldn’t pigeon hole people. Period. A girl works a non-conventional job, you’re mad and disrespect her because of it. A girl puts forth the effort to change, to have better and BE better and you get busy with throwing daggers at her in an effort to diminish her belief in herself just because YOU don’t want to see the vision. Miserable people, I tell ya. But it takes a strong, brave bitch to continue rising against the magnetic force that tries to hold her down! Who mad?
Congratulations, Brook…see you at the top!

I am happy for Brook bc she is breaking that mold that society has tryed to put her in. I appreciate her strive to do more that just being a stripper.
Mark Dub:How much of this post is self-reflective? I often think the same thing about you. I love that you keep doing what YOU do so well, despite the all the hateration and holleration in the danceree. Congrats Brook, and congrats to you as well, Jia.
