Premise of the story
Synthia is a beauty like no other - not only on the inside but as well on the outside. She's used to men falling over her, but she never made a big deal about her appearance. Accomplished in business, intelligent, with a great sense of style, she's pleased that she can finally get married to a man who she's only content with. Just as she makes good arm candy for him, it's reciprocal for her. Plus after a past incident, she swore she would only allow herself to date well to do professional men who made a legitimate living. Her only fault she could say was her voracious curiosity. And on the day before she knows George is to propose, her best friend puts in her head the one thing she has never
Done: Slept with a guy outside of her race. With her beauty, she can't just find anyone, so she does what any one in her position and wealth would do: She finds a professional. Let's just hope George never finds out what a good time she had.

It's Monday and I'm posting. Not in the early morning which is my usual time, but it's still Monday. Give me some boon, okay.
My question to the readers, if you found out the reality you were born into was not what it should of been, would you be mad at your parents for having you believe the lies they created once you were grown?
What would you do to move forward? Find out the truth or keep living your life?
I'd really love your intake.
Now to the nitty gritty of this part. If you read Black's Innocence, you briefly met Luke. Readers of the book can give other readers who Luke's brother is.
I think I like Luke. Might do an off shoot story.
Also to help you keep up to what's to come, I'd highly recommend Sin's Iniquity. If one more person tells me I just repeated the first word again then don't. LOL

I'm just warning you, Dwight Bowman is coming in the picture.
And... Lethal is coming. I'm sorry.
As always, tell me what you think of this post? Be Safe!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Detroit Creativity Project Moves The Improv Project Online
Artists, students, celebrities to host improv games online
DETROIT, April 9, 2020 - The Improv Project, a school-based arts program powered by The Detroit Creativity Project, is going virtual! Improv games and exercises will be led by artists, students and special celebrity guests, including Marc Evan Jackson of "The Good Place" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Jackson also is the founder and president of The Detroit Creativity Project. Starting the week of April 13, new games and exercises will be added on The Improv Project YouTube and Instagram on Monday each week. To reach students without internet access, the organization will be launching a postcard series featuring improv lessons and games. Students and parents across metro Detroit are invited to participate.
"We're committed to keep reaching our students in The Improv Project with alternatives to classroom learning given the school closures," Jackson says. "Much of what improv teaches can be so useful right now, when so much is uncertain—like how to be in the moment, adapt to change, remain optimistic, and see things from another person's perspective. Improv is also an outlet to stretch ourselves creatively, and it's just a great way to laugh, have fun and be together."
As The Detroit Creativity Project's free flagship program, The Improv Project usually brings students together in the classroom for 10 weeks each semester. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic closing Michigan schools for the rest of the 2019-20 school year, the program is now using an online approach to serve students.
"Offering improv online during this challenging time is a huge opportunity to provide access to creativity," says Margaret Edwartowski, executive director of Y Arts, which partners with The Detroit Creativity Project for the improv initiative. "We hope to reach not only the youth we've been serving, but also reach many other young people who need some joy, levity, and connection right now."
The Improv Project's teaching artists are selecting improv games that students can play at home either solo, in pairs, or with a group of kids and adults. One of the first games to be posted is "Two Words at a Time." In this game, a group of two to six people create a story two words at a time. One person begins by providing two words in the story. Each player then adds to the story, two words at a time. "This is a great exercise to work on listening and building on other people's ideas," Jackson says. "It also helps students work on storytelling for other writing assignments."
These online games and exercises will continue The Detroit Creativity Project's goal to give students improv skills that help them develop social and emotional skills related to teamwork, communication, and problem solving. The training will also help students build literacy through storytelling.
Join The Improv Project on YouTube. Follow The Detroit Creativity Project online on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Participate in the conversation using #ImprovProjectOnline.
