Cupcake Brown was erronouslly name when a nurse misunderstood her mother's post-delivery request. She remembers a happy childhood until she was 11, when, in the night, her mother choked to death on her own tongue during a [[seizure]]. She was placed in a battery of foster homes, in which she was abused both physically and sexually. She ran away and was subsequently introduced to [[prostitution]]. She joined a gang at age 12. Two days before she turned 15, she was shot in a drive-by. The doctors told her that she may not be able to walk again. Three weeks after that, she decided to quit being a gang member and later that same year, she left the foster care system, declared legally emancipated. Now, she is a lawyer and makes roughly $125,000 dollars a year. |
