ABOUT THE AUTHOR
 
“I lost my grandmother at 17 to death.
I lost my mother at 17 to drugs
and that was my drive for me to
never lose myself at any age.”
- Author Sxnbad
 
A Los Angeles native, who became a product of the streets at the mere age of fifteen enhanced her chances for survival as a hustler of many trades eventually transforming into a gang member belonging to the Rollin 90’s neighborhood Crip. In and out of Juvenile Halls and Camps, she graduated to the County Jail where she continued the “in and out'' pattern, ultimately landing her in a California Women’s State Prison sentenced to six years. During her incarceration, Sxnbad maintained her gang principles at the sametime maturing mentally. After being stabbed in the eye and almost losing sight, she took a step back to reanalyze her life; not wanting to live up to the stereotype of “just another gang banger that didn’t amount to anything”, instead choosing to change the dynamics of history concluding the facts that she refused to be handicap or incapable of becoming successful and wanting to live in order to leave an honorable legacy similar to that of Nipsey Hussle (RIP); thus far being a gang banger who applied their knowledge further than their struggle. Talented and creative, Sxnbad enjoys sharing her passion and lucrative thoughts with others through multi avenues such as rapping, drawing and now Urban fiction as she hopes to shine light on real life experiences to educate mankind on the trials and tribulations of America’s urban culture that you can't “Google” and no one wants to really talk about. Furthermore, making her debut onto the literary scene with her very first fictional novel “What’s A Homie”.
