Parent hood is hard for anyone..and even more if you are young. Although you feel you the need to be there for you children, you also free the need to be free. 17 year old Nicci takes us on her journey, between drugs, parties, jail and ultimately providing for her two children. This piece holds so much emotions, I can promise it will even make even the hardest listener smile.. Her personal narrative, is laced, with the voices of her children, that add a needed dynamic to this piece. Over all this is one of my favorite pieces.. Listen, and it might be your too.
Summary: When Nikki became a mother of two at the age of seventeen she promised to leave her life of drugs and crime behind. It was a promise she couldn't keep.
