The story of Shamika (Shaminicka) Johnson. A girl growing up in the hood and the many possible outcomes of the life of a girl from the hood.
Shaminicka is dating ADONIS Who sells weight. He decides that he will use Shaminicka as a mule and have her smuggling weed… Things go well for a few years. She is decked in the latest Gucci, always wearing a pair of Louboutins. 3 years later she is caught trying to smuggle weed on the plane and she is sentenced to 15 years in jail. Once in jail ADONIS finds a new chick and makes her his new mule until he himself ends up getting busted and sentenced to 20 years.
Shaminicka meets BOB, a older white man. He loves young black, feisty women. He owns a shoe store. He gives her $5,000 a month allowance, buys her a car and tells her that the only way he will deal with her is if she goes to school. She signs up to get a bachelor minoring in business management. After college she decides to open up her own shoe store called Stiletto High. Her store is so successful that after 3 years she has to move to a bigger building at the District Mall in the suburbs.
Shaminicka meets, COREY, He is nice to her. Buys her small stuff here and there, throws her a few dollars. He likes Shaminicka because she reminds him of his wife who owns her own beauty salon. But she does all the naughty things his wife won’t do. Shaminicka is his side chick for a little while then he moves on.
Shaminicaka meets LESTER who likes to hang out with a bunch of hustlers and pimps. He see’s his pimp friends making money so he tells Shaminicka that she is wasting her time on the nickel and dime bags and doing these bishes hair. He tells her that it’s too risky and she could make way more money hoeing. So he instructs her to put a ad up on craigslist. They make a lil money.. She stays in Baby Phat and always has a new pair of Jordans. 1 year later she gets pregnant by Lester. 2 weeks after the baby drops she goes back to hoeing while LESTER chills at home and takes care of the baby.
Shaminicka, meets BODDY He is a big time hustler. He tells Shaminicka that she can just be his chick and not hustle at all anymore. He takes care of her, keeps her in fly whips and clothes.. Everything is good until the FBI raids their house and BOBBY is convicted of 50 years for distribution . Shaminicka has no skills, loses the suburban house and goes back to what she was doing.
Shaminicka meets CAINE He is a big time hustler. He really digs Shaminicka. He tells her to sign up for beauty school. Shaminicka does, graduates and works in a salon for a year. The next year on her birthday CAINE puts on a blindfold and tells her he has a surprise for her. CAINE has bought Shaminicka her own salon and fully furnished it.. Now she owns her own shop. It runs ok for a year before it gets completely closed due to Shaminicka not having any management skills and doing very little advertising..
Shaminicka meets MICHAEL who works at T-Mobile as a customer service rep. He tells Shaminicka that he really likes her but she has to get a 9-5 if she wants to be with him. So Shaminicka gets a job at T-Mobile with MICHAEL They are together for 5 years. After that Shaminicka gets a promotion to Manager and receives a raise.
Shaminicka dates BRYAN and he gets her a job at his cousins shop after getting her cosmetology license. She works as a beautician for the rest of her life and makes a decent living.
Shamicka meets PAUL who is a bikini photographer who also has a strong background in marketing. He says she has a nice body and has a extremely small waist to azz ratio. He convinces her to take some pics for him. He takes her pics, submits her to a few mags and she become Shaminicka the Body who takes the Urban Modeling World by storm. She is highly sought after for a few years and is even featured in a big screen movie.
Shamanicka meets photographer B who is a nude photographer. He takes some pics of her and makes her a members website. She makes a few hundred dollars a month off of her site before that phases out and she gets a job at Sprint as a customer service rep and does sports show anchor hosting on youtube.
Shaminicka met Lebron, who is a sensational basketball star. He gets drafted to the NBA and he marries Shaminicka and eventually they get divorced and she ends up on a reality show called Basketball Wives.
Shamincaka meets LEONARD and he tells her that she needs to get a license to grow weed. They start a weed farm and make very good profits.
Shaminicka meets another girl through the neighborhood who also hustles a little. She finds out this other girl is going to beauty college while hustling, so Shaminicka decides to sign up too.. When they both graduate they decide to open up a shop together. The shop runs well and Shaminicka meets STAN who does Marketing for Sprint. He really likes Shaminicka so he decides to help her do some marketing to increase business at the shop. He tells her to expand and bring in 2 nail techs, serve champagne and hoerderves to the customers. With his help the shops clients and profits increase by 50%. Shaminicka and STAN end up getting married a year later. She has twins 2 months later and with the dual income they are able to give their child a good life.
A woman is a reflection of the man that she is with. Men can have a good influence on a woman or a bad influence.
Shamika always had the same potential, but most of the men she dated did not forsee or care about her long term future. Nor did she ever see much potential in herself. Where you are from and where you end up at all depends on the choices you make and the people you choose to have in your life. People can influence your life for the better or the worse. It’s up to you to choose the right people to be in your circle.
The story is fictional but these endings could be any young woman you know, black or white or any other ethnicity. Young girls are so caught up in love that they often times don’t realize that there are other factors besides love that weight into a relationship.
Some young ladies truly believe that they are products of their environment and feel hopeless or don’t know how to put themselves on the path to a better life.
If possible, try to give your assistance in getting young women on the right path. Teach them about the magic of making good decisions and picking the right relationships in friendship, business and romance. Teach them that it’s not about where you start but where you end.
Which guy would you choose for her, now that you see some of the possible outcomes?

That’s my circle stays small
No Jerry is is not a true story ,but it is a story that I wrote based off of real life. Thank You Kayo.
shaminika obviously doesn't have a clue. She needs to learn to be alone a find out who she really is. Every man she met encouraged her to do something they wanted her to do. I don't think she needs to be with anyone until she knows who shaminika is.

Very true Marvin
first congradulations second i would choose stan he helps her amass a profit on her store he generally cares and helped her do what she want to do not vice versa
I read this blog and can certainly say that I constantly run into women like this. My problem is that these women never have a mind of their own and can easily be led. This is so not right because I always run away from them because they are never quality material for me.
Sis Kissy…academy awards to ya on this!

nice.
Very Interesting….
You know a lot of young black women pick mates soley on love. That can lead to bad choices
We ladies have to be wise about our choices in our mate..I've learnt my lesson.
Please…….no body told her to date useless niggas…..now its hard to find the right man growing up in the ghetto. Child Please, you ain’t the only woman growing up in the ghetto, you could have left them shiesty men alone. So please spare me the drama.
now the article did have a strong message at the end! i understand ^^brian mcfarland stand on this article because as a educated black man you get tired of hearing all the Sad storys our women bring to the table! I read the whole article and like it and stongly agreed with it because I grew up in the hood and can vouch these are truly the outcomes! women need to be mindful of the men they choose to date and stop playing victim! i loved the ending of the article message really hit home!
Amen JANICE
I knew she looked familiar! Love the article..goes to show don’t let your past determine your future!
You Ain’t Never Lied…Meeting A Decent Man Has Become A Major Chore These Days.
Hey Kiss….just b carefulu fa wat u ask for…cos ppl will get that and sum
Thank You for reading it! I know it was a pretty long blog. Shamika is a fictional character but a very real one…
Yes… I Have To Break That Habit, Cuz When The Chemistry Is Right On Both Ends, My Heart Follows…And, I Have Met A Man & It Was “Love At First Sight” ~ PLEASE Kissy Explore That Topic.
Learned early on. Only let my heart lead halfway! However, my head takes the lead. I’ve never dealt w thuggies or druggies. I knew early on what I wanted in life. And true happiness doesn’t always come from “just love”
she likes men.
Wow that was deep…got me thinkin…Thanks!
Precautionary tales all women can be her is they make poor choices in their lives.
this is foolishness..this is stuff that people can correct on their own.you made it hard in the hood for yourself.you didnt have to do those things
after several days releasing pressure, I return to my work, and work energetically with people surrounding,right,we will always face presuure from life and society,but the problem is that how we can cope with it. I'm sure if you deal with this properly , you will live happier than ever…
I like that saying. Stop being a work in progress. Thanks for the word of wisdom, Kissy.
[...] a girl stuck in the hood. I mean she swooped up a married man from the T-Mobile store….Shamanicka could of done that. Is that the best she could do? Then she gets his last name tatted on her. [...]
I Agree Life Is Always Flowing & Waits For No One… But, I'll Take Lebron Without The Divorce & I Would Never Want To Be On Basketball Wives…
The last one. It seemed like the other ones were Shamika listening to a man. The last one she listened to her heart and then met the man. You are right Kissy, the wrong man can lead you astray. The right one can lead you to heaven. But if you ain’t got the drive yourself, you’re stuck with whatever a man left you.
Kissy that was so good I would love to download and use this with my clients. Is that possible or are you exercising copy write laws. You know the ones where you cant reproduce or you will be prosecuted and we make copies anyway…lol. I love this all about self-esteem, people we allow in our lives and our choices.
Nicole you understand the entire point of the story.. Cool!
Nichelle as long as their is a link back to my website you can use anything you see on my website. Thanks for the compliment.
I will be posting a portion of this on my status…Nice!!!
That’s fine too Keyana. It automatically attaches a link back to my website when copied.
I Want No Part Of Shaminicka Johnson Lifestyle… But, If I Had To Choose I’ll Be Married To LeBron James But I Would Not Be On BBW…
The last Guy or the Sprint guy….Secure Future<3
she look like boots from flavor of love
Can this girl do something that doesn’t involve a man? Seems to me that every move she made was decided by a man. I understand the underlying message but the overt message us clear. A man defined the woman she was gonna become.
Richard she did do something that didn’t involve a man. She opened up a beauty salon. And a GOOD MAN came along and used his business sense to help her business flourish. But humans were put on earth to be with other people. So let’s be clear that having a mate is normal. If one is going to have a mate they should know how to pick a mate. Your mindset is what has a lot of women messed up these days..
It is why too many women run around saying they are independent and don’t need a man for anything. That way of thinking has caused many women to be so independent that they truly feel men are not worth anything.
^^^SOO TRUE<3
@ Kissy. I think you misunderstood what u was trying to say. Every paragraph I read there was some man either leading her or supporting her. Now the positive results were. good but her with the pimps and drug dealers is not. My mindset is not whats messing women up. Any woman that gives herself to a pimp or drug dealer was messed up already. Women need good men in their lives and men needin good women. I support a woman and a man building a life together but each has to bring something to the table. I think your assessment of me/my com
Continued: comments are incorrect, but I welcome the discussion.
Check Out My Writing.
omg I feel so sorry for her I b praying for her
Yeah I would choose Bob each and EVERY time! Bob is the ONLY way to go
And I have made that very same decision in real life 
Good post….
It’s people with far more and worser things that they have went threw,i’m glad she making it with her modeling,but every beautiful person star celebrity or just an ordinary people go threw a strom,but triumphing over it is good,GOD,come in and protect all of us when we really need him.
Girl is this fo’real? She stays at beauty school and I don’t remember LeBron being married. But nonetheless, I choose Bob too. At least he sought out after her.
All this tells me is that woman have it good….
This project ass shit.
Be independent she got her own money why she need a man all she need is a cut buddy or buddies
<———–Agrees with Tywon on this one!
I Moved To The Hood, But I Don’t Date In The Hood…
ghetto
wow true shit.
wow true shit.
I see the point…..
