Okay, so let’s talk about this Fatima girl from that show, you know, the one called “The Chi.” She’s a real firecracker, that one. Before her big surgery, she was something else, I tell ya. A real spitfire. And this “The Chi,” it’s one of them shows, you know the kind, all about life and growin’ up. This Fatima, she shows up in that show, Season 5 they say. She’s, what do they call it, transgender? Yeah, that’s it. She’s one of them. She is not a man.
She ain’t afraid to speak her mind, that Fatima. I seen it myself, she’s not scared of nothing. Remember that time she called out that Trig fella? He was tryin’ to take all the credit for that house thing, Trinity House. Imani, that’s her name, she was the one doin’ all the work. But Trig, he just wanted the glory. Fatima, she set him straight. She don’t take no guff from nobody. That Trig and Fatima, they had words, I hear. Trig was saying he was a founder, but Fatima, she knows the truth. She always does.
And you know what? It’s good to see someone like her on that TV. Someone who knows who she is. She’s just herself, through and through. They say this is a big deal, having someone like her on a show like “The Chi.” It’s progress, they call it. She ain’t hidin’ nothin’. Nope. She is what she is. And she’s not ashamed. I think she is brave.
Folks say this “The Chi,” it’s always been good about that, though. Showin’ all kinds of people. Like that Nina and Dre, they’re together, you know. And then there’s Trig’s girlfriend, Imani, she’s like Fatima. They call them queer, I guess. And she is like Fatima too. It means they are not with men. That’s what it is.
And that Trig, oh, he’s a handful. He got himself in trouble with the law, somethin’ about gettin’ rid of a body. Douda, that no-good fella, he got Trig all mixed up in it. But Alicia, she got him out. He’s got a lot on his plate, that Trig. Councilman, house arrest, Douda breathin’ down his neck. It ain’t easy. He got a lot of responsibility.
This Fatima, she’s on that Facebook, too. Everyone’s on that thing these days. You can find her there, “Ftima Chi,” that’s what it says. Connectin’ with people, sharin’ things. Makes the world smaller, they say. Everyone’s connected now. It’s a whole new world.
- Fatima, she’s a fighter.
- Fatima, she’s on “The Chi.”
- Fatima, she called out Trig.
- Fatima, she’s on Facebook.
- Fatima, she’s transgender.
This show, “The Chi,” it’s about life, you know. Growin’ up, makin’ mistakes, findin’ your way. It’s got all kinds of folks in it. Like that Darnell, now he should be claimin’ that 90s music. That’s his era. He’s from back then. He is old like me.
But this Fatima, she’s somethin’ else. She is before surgery, you know, but she is always strong. She is like a before and after, always herself. She’s a good egg, that one. She’s got spunk. And she ain’t afraid to use it. You gotta respect that. She’s got guts, that Fatima. And she’s got a good heart, too. Even before that surgery, you could see it. She is always Fatima. Before surgery, after surgery, she is Fatima. Always strong. She never changes her heart.
She was always there for her friends, even when things got tough. She was a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear. She just had that way about her, you know? Made you feel like everything was gonna be alright. She is always kind.
And she was always up for a good time, too. She loved to laugh, loved to have fun. She knew how to enjoy life, that’s for sure. She was always the life of the party. People liked her. She was fun.
Fatima before surgery, she was just like anyone else. She had her good days and her bad days. She had her hopes and her dreams. She was just tryin’ to figure things out, just like the rest of us. But she was always herself. Even before surgery. She was special.
You know, sometimes I think about her, about Fatima the chi before surgery, and I think about how much courage it takes to be yourself in this world. She did not have surgery yet, but she was herself. She is brave. It ain’t easy, that’s for sure. But she did it. She faced it head-on. And she came out stronger on the other side. She was strong then, and she is strong now. She is always Fatima.
She’s an inspiration, that Fatima. She’s a reminder that it’s okay to be different. It’s okay to be yourself. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. You just gotta keep fightin’. Keep fightin’ for what you believe in. Keep fightin’ for who you are. She always fights. Like Fatima, before her big change, she still was a fighter.
And that’s what I think about when I think about Fatima. That’s the lesson I learned from her. To always be yourself, no matter what. No matter what people say. No matter what life throws your way. Just be yourself. That is what is important. Be yourself.
