No tears for black girls when they disappear.
No tears for black girls like they were never here.
But we remember. We'll speak their names.
In the unforgiving streets of Detroit, loyalty isn't just a
(00:22):
virtue. It's a matter of life and death.
But sometimes that same loyalty becomes entangled with secrets
so dark, so scandalous, that they threaten to destroy
everything you've built. This is the story of Jobina JB
Brown, a woman whose relationship with her nephew
would become the subject of whispers, rumors, and ultimately
(00:45):
a murder that would expose the most salacious secrets in hip
hop. What started as a story about
family loyalty has become something much darker, a tale of
forbidden relationships, pregnancy rumors, and the deadly
consequences of keeping secrets in the streets.
Terry Sanchez Wallace Junior, better known to the world as Tee
(01:07):
Grizzly, wasn't supposed to makeit out of Detroit's east side.
Born into a world where poverty and violence were daily
realities, he watched his motherget sentenced to 15 years in
prison on drug charges when he was just 20.
A year later, his father was murdered.
By 2014, T himself was behind bars, serving 18 months for
(01:32):
robbery charges that could have derailed his life permanently.
But through all the chaos, one person never wavered in her
belief in him. Jobina JB Brown, the woman he
called his aunt. Here's where the story gets
complicated, and where the whispers began.
JB wasn't TS blood relative. She was his aunt through
(01:54):
marriage, married to his uncle by blood.
But their relationship would become something that defied
traditional family boundaries, Something that would fuel
rumors, gossip, and ultimately contribute to a murder that
shocked the hip hop world. JB wasn't just family.
She was Terry's everything. When everyone else saw a young
(02:17):
man destined for the streets or the grave, she saw potential.
She saw talent. She saw a nephew who could wrap
his way out of the cycle that had claimed so many others.
And when Terry decided to pursuemusic seriously, JB didn't just
support him, she bet everything on him.
The woman who would become knownas one of hip hop's most
(02:39):
dedicated managers started out as simply an aunt who refused to
give up. JB quit her steady job to manage
Terry's career full time. She used her own money to fund
his first music video for First Day Out, the track that would
change everything. She handled his business,
protected his interests, and became the buffer between him
(03:01):
and a music industry that could be just as dangerous as the
streets. But their relationship was
deeper than business, more complex than family, and,
according to St. Rumors, more intimate than
anyone wanted to admit publicly.JB was particular about
cleanliness, always impeccably dressed and carried herself with
a dignity that commanded respectin rooms full of men who weren't
(03:25):
used to taking orders from women.
She was tough enough to navigateSt. politics, but loving enough
to be the maternal figure Terry needed after losing his mother
to the system. But she was also a woman in her
early 40s, and Terry was a youngman in his 20s, and the lines
between family, business and something else entirely began to
(03:46):
blur in ways that would later fuel the most scandalous rumors
in Detroit's hip hop scene. When First Day Out exploded,
gaining over 2 million views in just three weeks and catching
the attention of Jay-Z and LeBron James, JB was right there
orchestrating the moves that would land Terry a deal with 300
(04:06):
Entertainment and Atlantic Records.
She wasn't just along for the ride, she was driving.
But success in the rap game comes with scrutiny, and
scrutiny reveals secrets that some people would kill to keep
hidden. By 2019, Tee Grizzly had become
one of Detroit's biggest successstories.
(04:27):
His debut album, Activated, had reached #10 on the Billboard
200. He was selling out shows,
collaborating with major artists, and representing for a
city that desperately needed positive representation.
And through it all, JB was by his side, the woman who had
believed when no one else would.But success in the rap game
(04:48):
comes with a price, and that price is often paid by the
people you love most. And sometimes that price
includes keeping secrets that could destroy everything you've
built. August 20th, 2019 started like
any other night, but it would end with a murder that would
expose secrets that had been whispered about in Detroit's
(05:11):
streets for years. TJB and their driver had just
finished a late studio session and we're heading to visit
family on Detroit's east side. It was the kind of routine trip
they've made countless times before.
Nothing that should have raised any red flags or caused concern.
They pulled up to a relative's house on Three Mile Drive around
(05:33):
9:00 PM. The neighborhood was familiar
territory, the kind of place where T had grown up and where
family still lived. But familiarity can breed
complacency, and in the streets,complacency kills.
When they arrived, T wanted everyone to go inside.
He had that street sense that told him certain areas required
(05:56):
certain precautions, and he urged JB to come into the house
with him. But JB, ever particular about
cleanliness, took one look at the house and declined.
She was funny about dirty spaces, always had been, and she
preferred to wait in the car rather than go into what she
perceived as an unclean environment.
(06:18):
T begged her to come inside. Something in his gut told him it
wasn't safe to leave her in the car, But JB was stubborn.
She'd wait outside, she insisted.
She'd be fine. It was a decision that would
haunt T for the rest of his life, and one that would fuel
conspiracy theories about whether he knew what was coming.
(06:40):
As T walked toward the house, a shadow emerge from the darkness.
The shooter moved with purpose, approaching the black Chrysler
300, where JB sat in the back seat.
In a moment that would change everything, the gunman opened
the passenger side door, the side where T usually sat, and
opened fire. 8 bullets tore through J BS body as she sat
(07:03):
defenseless in the back seat. The driver was grazed but
survived. T, just steps away from the car,
heard the gunshots and came running, but by the time he
reached the vehicle, the shooterhad vanished into the night like
a ghost. JB was still alive when the
ambulance arrived. She even managed to call T from
(07:24):
the ambulance, her voice growingweaker with each word.
He knew, even as he listened to her fading voice, that he was
losing the most important personin his world.
At the hospital, doctors fought to save her life, but the damage
was too severe. Jobena JB Brown, the woman who
(07:44):
had sacrificed everything for her nephew's dreams, was
pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
But according to rumors that would surface years later, JB
wasn't just carrying T's dreams when she died, she was allegedly
carrying his child. The pregnancy rumors began
almost immediately after JB's death, whispered in Barber
(08:05):
shops, discussed in private messages and debated on social
media. The streets started talking and
what they were saying was explosive.
JB had been pregnant when she was murdered and the father was
allegedly Tee Grizzly himself. The allegations were as
scandalous as they were disturbing.
(08:26):
Here was a woman who was supposed to be his aunt, his
manager, his protector, and the streets were claiming she was
also his lover and the mother ofhis unborn child.
The rumors painted a picture of a relationship that had crossed
every possible boundary, family,professional and moral.
Some claim that JB's pregnancy was the real motive for her
(08:49):
murder. Had someone discovered the
secret relationship and decided to eliminate the evidence?
Was JB killed not because of T'sstreet beefs, but because of the
scandal that would have erupted if they're alleged relationship
became public? Others suggested that T himself
had orchestrated JB's murder to cover up the pregnancy and
protect his career. The theory went that he couldn't
(09:12):
afford the scandal of having gotten his aunt pregnant, so he
arranged for her to be killed and made it look like a street
hit gone wrong. These weren't just random
Internet conspiracy theories. They were persistent rumors that
circulated in Detroit's hip hop community for years, gaining
credibility with each retelling.The fact that JB was shot while
(09:33):
T was conveniently inside the house only fueled the
speculation. Why had he insisted she come
inside? Why had he left her alone in the
car? And why had the shooter opened
the passenger door where T usually sat, as if they knew his
habits intimately? The news of J BS death sent
shock waves through Detroit and the hip hop community, but the
(09:55):
rumors that followed created an entirely different kind of
scandal. Fans mourned, fellow artists
paid tribute. But behind closed doors, people
were whispering about pregnancy tests, secret relationships and
cover ups that went to the highest levels of the music
industry. For Tee Grizzly, the world had
(10:16):
just collapsed in more ways thanone.
Not only had he lost the woman who had been his rock, his
protector, his biggest believer,but he was now facing
allegations that would destroy his reputation if they were
true. The circumstances of her death
raised questions that would haunt him for years to come, but
(10:38):
the rumors about their relationship raised questions
that could end his career. The Detroit Police Department
immediately launched A homicide investigation, but answers were
slow to come. The shooting wasn't random, they
said, but beyond that, details were scarce.
No arrests were made in the immediate aftermath.
(10:59):
No suspects were named. The case went cold, leaving a
family devastated, a community demanding justice, and rumors
swirling about secrets that somepeople would kill to protect.
But the streets talk even when the police stay silent, and the
rumors that began circulating inthe wake of J BS murder painted
(11:21):
a picture that was far more complex and scandalous than
anyone initially realized. This wasn't just about cross
city beef or industry politics. This was about forbidden love,
unwanted pregnancies and the kind of family secrets that
destroy lives. Some whispered that it was a
robbery gone wrong, but that theory didn't hold water.
(11:44):
Nothing was taken from the car, and JB wasn't known to carry
large amounts of cash or jewelry.
Others suggested it was connected to Old Street business
grudges that predated T's music career but had followed him into
his new life. But the most persistent and
disturbing rumors centered on the pregnancy allegations.
(12:05):
If JB had been carrying T's child, who else knew who had
discovered their secret, and whowould have been willing to kill
to keep it from becoming public?The answer to those questions
would remain a mystery for years, buried in the complex web
of relationships, rivalries, andfamily secrets that define not
(12:25):
just the rap industry but the most intimate aspects of human
relationships. T himself was consumed by
survivors guilt, telling interviewers that it should have
been him, that his lifestyle hadput JB in danger.
But he never addressed the pregnancy rumors directly, never
confirmed or denied the allegations that continued to
(12:48):
swirl around their relationship.Family members, raw with grief,
sometimes blamed him for bringing violence into their
lives. But were they also blaming him
for something else? Did they know about the alleged
pregnancy? Did they suspect that J BS death
was connected to secrets that went far beyond St. politics?
(13:09):
The pain was compounded by the lack of closure.
With no arrests, no trials, no justice.
The wound remained open, festering.
T channeled his grief into music, releasing the emotional
track Satish as a tribute to JB.But no amount of artistic
expression could silence the rumors or fill the void she'd
(13:30):
left behind. For years, the case remained
cold, but the rumors remained hot.
Crime Stoppers offered a $2500 reward for information leading
to an arrest, but tips were scarce and leads went nowhere.
J BS Murder became another unsolved case in a city that had
(13:51):
seen too many another black woman whose death didn't
generate the media attention or police resources it deserved.
But the pregnancy allegations never went away.
They lived on social media, in barbershop conversations and in
the whispered gossip of the hip hop community.
Every time T released new music,every time he appeared in
(14:15):
public, the rumors followed him like a shadow.
The allegations were particularly damaging because
they played into the worst stereotypes about hip hop
culture and black families. Here was a successful rapper who
had supposedly gotten his own aunt pregnant and then had her
killed to cover it up. It was the kind of story that
fed into racist narratives aboutblack men, black families, and
(14:39):
the moral corruption of hip hop culture.
But in July 2025, nearly six years after J BS murder, a
shocking development would finally break the case wide open
and reveal connections that no one saw coming, while also
reigniting the pregnancy rumors with new intensity.
The arrest of a Chicago gang member known as Wu Tang, an
(15:02):
affiliate of the notorious 600 Gang and OTF Only the family
collective, sent shock waves through both Detroit and
Chicago's hip hop communities. Wu Tang, whose real name has
been withheld pending trial, wascharged in connection with J BS
murder after Ballistics evidenceallegedly linked him to the
Detroit shooting. But the most stunning revelation
(15:24):
wasn't just that a Chicago gang member had been arrested.
It was the web of connections that tied him to people in T
Grizzlies own circle, and the way his arrest reignited all the
old rumors about J BS pregnancy and the real motive for her
murder. Wu Tang was from the same
neighborhood as Buca 600A, prominent member of Lil Dirk's
(15:45):
OTF collective. And Buca 600 wasn't just any
Chicago rapper, he was one of T Grizzly's close friends and
frequent collaborators. The two had worked together on
multiple tracks, including Game Face from Otfs Loyal Bros
compilation. They've been photographed
together, performed together, and by all appearances,
(16:06):
maintained a genuine friendship.The implications were
staggering, and the rumors exploded across social media
with renewed intensity. Had someone from within TS
extended circle orchestrated J BS murder?
Was this a case of betrayal fromwithin, the kind of backdoor
setup that the streets fear most?
Or was it simply a tragic coincidence that the alleged
(16:29):
shooter happened to be connectedto people in T's orbit?
But more importantly, did Wu Tang's arrest confirm what the
streets had been whispering for years?
Had JB been killed not because of random St. violence, but
because someone wanted to silence her permanently?
And if she had been pregnant, who else knew?
(16:49):
And who had the most to lose if that information became public?
The arrest opened up a Pandora'sbox of speculation and
conspiracy theories that went far beyond typical hip hop beef.
Social media exploded with theories about industry,
politics, cross city beefs and the complex relationships
(17:10):
between Chicago and Detroit's rap scenes.
But underneath all the speculation about gang
affiliations and St. politics, the pregnancy rumors continued
to simmer. Some pointed to the long
standing tensions between different factions within the
hip hop community, suggesting that J BS murder was collateral
(17:31):
damage in a larger war. Others focused on the personal
relationships involved, questioning how well T really
knew the people he was working with and whether his friendship
with Buca 600 had somehow put him and his family in danger.
But the most persistent theoriescontinue to center on the
pregnancy allegations. If JB had been carrying T's
(17:54):
child, the theory went, then hermurder wasn't about St. politics
at all. It was about covering up a
scandal that could have destroyed his career and
reputation. The fact that the shooter had
opened the passenger door where T usually sat suggested someone
who knew his habits intimately, someone who might have been
close enough to know about the alleged pregnancy.
(18:17):
The timing of the arrest also raised questions that fed into
the conspiracy theories. Why had it taken nearly six
years to make an arrest? What new evidence had emerged to
finally break the case? And why was a Chicago gang
member allegedly involved in a Detroit murder that might have
been motivated by family secretsrather than St. beef?
(18:38):
According to reports, the breakthrough came through NIBIN
testing, the National IntegratedBallistic Information Network
that tracks firearms used in crimes across different
jurisdictions. The same gun allegedly used to
kill JB had reportedly been connected to other crimes,
creating a trail that eventuallyLED investigators to Wu Tang.
(18:59):
But Ballistics evidence, while compelling, doesn't answer the
question of motive. Why would a Chicago gang member
want to kill T Grizzlies aunt and manager?
What was the connection between the 600 Gang and a Detroit
rapper's family? And most importantly, did the
motive have anything to do with the pregnancy rumors that had
(19:20):
haunted Tea for years? The answers to those questions
may emerge during the trial, butthey've already sparked intense
debate within hip hop communities and reignited all
the old rumors about JB's alleged pregnancy.
Some see J BS murder as part of a larger pattern of violence
that follows successful rappers,a reminder that fame and fortune
(19:43):
don't provide protection from street politics.
Others view it as evidence of how interconnected the rap
industry has become, with beefs and alliances spanning multiple
cities and creating dangerous situations for everyone
involved. But a growing number of people
believe that JB's murder was never about St. politics at all,
(20:03):
that it was about silencing a woman who knew too much, carried
too much, and represented a scandal that could have
destroyed everything T Grizzly had built.
The pregnancy rumors have taken on new life since Wu Fang's
arrest, with social media detectives dissecting every
aspect of T and JB's relationship.
Old photos are being re examinedfor signs of intimacy beyond
(20:25):
what would be appropriate for anaunt and nephew, interview clips
are being analyzed for hints about the true nature of their
relationship, and every public statement T has made about JB
since her death is being scrutinized for hidden meanings.
What makes these rumors particularly explosive is how
they reframe everything we thought we knew about JB's
(20:47):
murder. If she was pregnant with T's
child, then her death wasn't just a tragedy, it was
potentially a double homicide. The unborn child becomes another
victim, another life lost to whatever forces conspired to
silence JB permanently. The rumors also raised
disturbing questions about powerdynamics and exploitation.
(21:09):
JB was older than T, but she wasalso financially dependent on
him and his career. If their relationship had become
intimate, who was really in control?
Was JB a willing participant in a forbidden romance, or was she
a victim of manipulation by someone whose success she had
helped create? These questions become even more
(21:32):
complex when you consider the family dynamics involved.
JB was married to T's blood uncle, making any romantic
relationship with T not just inappropriate but potentially
devastating to the entire familystructure.
If the pregnancy rumors are true, then J BS murder might
have been as much about protecting family honor as it
(21:54):
was about protecting TS career. The street rumors suggest that
multiple people knew about the alleged pregnancy, including
family members who were horrified by the implications.
Some versions of the story claimthat JB was planning to go
public with the pregnancy, either to force T to acknowledge
their relationship or to secure financial support for the child.
(22:18):
Others suggest that she was being pressured by family
members to terminate the pregnancy to avoid scandal.
What makes J BS Story particularly tragic is how it
fits into a broader pattern of Black women being silenced,
whether through violence or through the systematic dismissal
of their voices and experiences.If the pregnancy rumors are
(22:39):
true, then JB was carrying not just a child, but a secret that
powerful people were willing to kill to protect.
She became expendable the momenther existence threatened someone
else's success. This pattern repeats itself
throughout hip hop history, but it extends far beyond the music
industry. From the mothers and girlfriends
(23:00):
caught in crossfire to the managers and assistants who
become targets simply because oftheir association with
successful men, Black women consistently bear the cost of
conflicts they didn't create andsecrets they didn't choose to
keep. J BS Murder also highlights the
unique vulnerabilities faced by women who work closely with male
(23:22):
artists, particularly in industries where personal and
professional relationships oftenbecome entangled.
Success doesn't erase the power imbalances that make women
vulnerable to exploitation, and if anything, it can make those
imbalances more dangerous. The fact that JB was killed
while simply waiting in a car outside a family member's house
(23:43):
underscores how random and senseless this violence can
appear on the surface. But if the pregnancy rumors are
true, then her murder wasn't random at all.
It was a calculated elimination of a woman who had become
inconvenient, dangerous, or both.
As the case moves toward trial, many questions remain unanswered
(24:04):
and the pregnancy rumors continue to swirl.
What was Wu Fang's motive for allegedly killing JB?
Was he acting alone or as part of a larger conspiracy?
How did the Chicago Detroit connection play into the murder?
And most importantly, was JB pregnant when she died, and if
so, who was the father? The trial will likely reveal
(24:27):
more details about the night JB was killed and the events that
led up to her murder. But regardless of what comes out
in court, the pregnancy rumors have already changed how people
view her death in T Grizzly's role in the tragedy.
If JB was pregnant, then her murder represents not just the
loss of a talented manager and beloved family member, but the
(24:49):
silencing of a woman whose only crime may have been loving
someone who couldn't afford to love her back.
Publicly, it represents the deadly intersection of family
secrets, industry, politics and the violence that follows when
powerful people feel threatened.T Grizzly has continued to build
his career in the years since J BS death, but those who know him
(25:13):
say he's never been the same. The guilt of surviving when she
didn't. The knowledge that his lifestyle
may have contributed to her death and the persistent rumors
about their relationship have left permanent scars that no
amount of success can heal. In interviews, he's spoken about
how J BS death changed his perspective on life and success,
(25:35):
but he's never directly addressed the pregnancy rumors
or the allegations about the nature of their relationship.
His silence on these matters hasonly fueled more speculation,
with some interpreting it as guilt and others seeing it as
the appropriate response to baseless rumors.
The woman who had sacrificed everything for his dreams was
(25:55):
gone, and no amount of fame or fortune could bring her back.
Her death forced him to confrontnot just the reality that the
streets don't care about your success, but also the
possibility that his personal choices may have put the person
he loved most in mortal danger. The arrest of Wu Fang has
brought renewed attention to JB's case, but it's also
(26:19):
highlighted the complex web of relationships, rivalries, and
secrets that define modern hip hop.
The genre that was born in urbancommunities as a form of
expression and escape has becomeincreasingly entangled with the
very violence and exploitation it often seeks to document and
transcend. For the hip hop community, J BS
(26:42):
Murder serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of mixing
business with pleasure, family with romance, and success with
secrecy. The rumors surrounding her death
remind us that behind every successful artist are often
women whose sacrifices go unrecognized and whose
vulnerabilities are exploited bythe very people they're trying
(27:03):
to help. The case also raises broader
questions about violence againstwomen in urban communities and
the cycle of silence that protects perpetrators while
silencing victims. How many more women will die
because they knew too much, lovetoo much, or carried secrets
that powerful people couldn't afford to have revealed?
(27:25):
As we await the outcome of Wu Tang's trial, JB's story remains
a powerful reminder of the humancost of success, secrecy, and
the violence that erupts when personal relationships become
entangled with professional ambitions.
Whether the pregnancy rumors aretrue or not, they've become part
of her legacy, a reminder that even in death, Black women's
(27:49):
bodies and experiences remain sites of speculation,
exploitation, and control. The streets of Detroit remember
Jobina JB Brown not just as T Grizzly's aunt and manager, but
as a woman whose death exposed the darkest secrets of hip hop
success. She stood by her nephew when no
one else would, invested in his dreams when they seemed
(28:11):
impossible, and may have paid the ultimate price for a love
that crossed boundaries no one was prepared to acknowledge.
Whether justice will finally be served remains to be seen, but J
BS Legacy lives on in the music she helped create, the career
she helped build, and the uncomfortable questions her
death continues to raise about power, exploitation, and the
(28:35):
price that women pay for men's success.
The trial of Wu Fang will likelyprovide more answers about who
killed JB and why. But for those who loved her, no
verdict can bring back the womanwho gave everything for someone
else's dreams or answer the questions about what she might
have been carrying when she died.
(28:55):
All that remains is the music, the memories, the rumors, and
the hope that her death wasn't in vain, that somehow her story
will help prevent other women from being silenced, exploited,
or killed for the secrets they carry or the love they give.
In the end, J BS Murder represents more than just
(29:19):
another unsolved case or anothervictim of St. violence.
It's a reminder that behind every headline, every arrest,
every trial, there are real people whose lives have been
forever changed by violence thatmay have been motivated by the
most intimate betrayals. And it's a tribute to a woman
(29:41):
who loved without limits, believed without reservation,
and may have paid the ultimate price for crossing boundaries
that society wasn't ready to accept.
Jobina JB Brown deserved better than the violence that took her
life, better than the rumors that followed her death, and
better than being remembered primarily for the scandal that
(30:01):
may or may not have surrounded her final days.
She deserved to see her nephew'scontinued success, to enjoy the
fruits of the sacrifices she made, and to grow old surrounded
by the family she loved so much.Instead, she became another
casualty in a war between love and ambition, another Black
(30:22):
woman whose death serves as a stark reminder of how dangerous
it can be to love powerful men who can't afford to love you
back. Her story isn't over, though.
As long as people remember her sacrifice, her love, and her
unwavering belief in the power of dreams, J BS Legacy will
continue to inspire others to support the people they love,
(30:45):
even when the cost seems too high to bear.
And as long as the pregnancy rumors persist, her death will
continue to raise uncomfortable questions about the price that
women pay for men's secrets and the violence that erupts when
love becomes inconvenient. Jobina JB Brown was more than a
victim of violence. She was a testament to the
(31:06):
transformative power of unconditional love and the
tragic reality that sometimes the people who love us most pay
the highest price for our success, our secrets, and our
inability to protect them from the consequences of our choices.
Stay loved, stay blessed, and stay safe.

This is Samantha Paul up next. It's Mirror Who I Am by the
Crown and Soul collective, featured on the official
soundtrack for the novel The Price of Silence by Jaycee
Reedberg. The book is available now on
Amazon and you can download it for free on Kindle.
Don't miss it. I see her in the mirror, cracks
(32:02):
along the frame, lines on her face.
Everyone has a name. Hands on the sink, bracing for
the truth. Every scar, every secret, every
piece for you. She's more than the silence,
(32:24):
more than the pain, more than the shadows.
Because for her name, she's the girl who survived, the woman who
stands 1000 reflections all in her hand.
Let me show me who I am. Not just the pieces, but the
whole of this plan. I see the girl who sees
(32:50):
everything. I see the woman who's learning
to. Sing check it.
Reflections don't lie, but they don't tell it all.
You see the surface, but you don't see the fall.
Built up my armor brick by brick, but the mirror caught the
cracks. I tried to fix every secret,
(33:13):
every story, every bruise. I hide, still staring back at
me. Can't run from what's inside.
Oh, she's more than the silence,more than the pain, more than
the shadows. That waist for her name.
She's the girl who survived, thewoman who stands 1000
(33:33):
reflections all in her hand. Mirror, mirror.
Show me who I am. Not just the pieces, but the
whole of this planet. I see the girl who sees
everything. I see the woman who?
(34:01):
Learning to see sometimes the only shelter.
Here's the truth in your eye. Mirror don't lie, but it don't
show the fight. Sometimes the only answer is the
courage to ride. Every day's a battle, every
night to try. She wipes the glass clean, lest
the past fall away still. Here, still standing, still
finding my way. Final mirror show me.
(34:25):
So I am not just the pieces, butthe whole of this play.
I see the girl who sees everything.
I see the woman who's learning to sing.
(34:47):
Tonight, at last, she's more than.
No tears for black girls when they disappear.
No tears for black girls like they were never here.
But we remember. We'll speak their names.
In the unforgiving streets of Detroit, loyalty isn't just a
(00:22):
virtue. It's a matter of life and death.
But sometimes that same loyalty becomes entangled with secrets
so dark, so scandalous, that they threaten to destroy
everything you've built. This is the story of Jobina JB
Brown, a woman whose relationship with her nephew
would become the subject of whispers, rumors, and ultimately
(00:45):
a murder that would expose the most salacious secrets in hip
hop. What started as a story about
family loyalty has become something much darker, a tale of
forbidden relationships, pregnancy rumors, and the deadly
consequences of keeping secrets in the streets.
Terry Sanchez Wallace Junior, better known to the world as Tee
(01:07):
Grizzly, wasn't supposed to makeit out of Detroit's east side.
Born into a world where poverty and violence were daily
realities, he watched his motherget sentenced to 15 years in
prison on drug charges when he was just 20.
A year later, his father was murdered.
By 2014, T himself was behind bars, serving 18 months for
(01:32):
robbery charges that could have derailed his life permanently.
But through all the chaos, one person never wavered in her
belief in him. Jobina JB Brown, the woman he
called his aunt. Here's where the story gets
complicated, and where the whispers began.
JB wasn't TS blood relative. She was his aunt through
(01:54):
marriage, married to his uncle by blood.
But their relationship would become something that defied
traditional family boundaries, Something that would fuel
rumors, gossip, and ultimately contribute to a murder that
shocked the hip hop world. JB wasn't just family.
She was Terry's everything. When everyone else saw a young
(02:17):
man destined for the streets or the grave, she saw potential.
She saw talent. She saw a nephew who could wrap
his way out of the cycle that had claimed so many others.
And when Terry decided to pursuemusic seriously, JB didn't just
support him, she bet everything on him.
The woman who would become knownas one of hip hop's most
(02:39):
dedicated managers started out as simply an aunt who refused to
give up. JB quit her steady job to manage
Terry's career full time. She used her own money to fund
his first music video for First Day Out, the track that would
change everything. She handled his business,
protected his interests, and became the buffer between him
(03:01):
and a music industry that could be just as dangerous as the
streets. But their relationship was
deeper than business, more complex than family, and,
according to St. Rumors, more intimate than
anyone wanted to admit publicly.JB was particular about
cleanliness, always impeccably dressed and carried herself with
a dignity that commanded respectin rooms full of men who weren't
(03:25):
used to taking orders from women.
She was tough enough to navigateSt. politics, but loving enough
to be the maternal figure Terry needed after losing his mother
to the system. But she was also a woman in her
early 40s, and Terry was a youngman in his 20s, and the lines
between family, business and something else entirely began to
(03:46):
blur in ways that would later fuel the most scandalous rumors
in Detroit's hip hop scene. When First Day Out exploded,
gaining over 2 million views in just three weeks and catching
the attention of Jay-Z and LeBron James, JB was right there
orchestrating the moves that would land Terry a deal with 300
(04:06):
Entertainment and Atlantic Records.
She wasn't just along for the ride, she was driving.
But success in the rap game comes with scrutiny, and
scrutiny reveals secrets that some people would kill to keep
hidden. By 2019, Tee Grizzly had become
one of Detroit's biggest successstories.
(04:27):
His debut album, Activated, had reached #10 on the Billboard
200. He was selling out shows,
collaborating with major artists, and representing for a
city that desperately needed positive representation.
And through it all, JB was by his side, the woman who had
believed when no one else would.But success in the rap game
(04:48):
comes with a price, and that price is often paid by the
people you love most. And sometimes that price
includes keeping secrets that could destroy everything you've
built. August 20th, 2019 started like
any other night, but it would end with a murder that would
expose secrets that had been whispered about in Detroit's
(05:11):
streets for years. TJB and their driver had just
finished a late studio session and we're heading to visit
family on Detroit's east side. It was the kind of routine trip
they've made countless times before.
Nothing that should have raised any red flags or caused concern.
They pulled up to a relative's house on Three Mile Drive around
(05:33):
9:00 PM. The neighborhood was familiar
territory, the kind of place where T had grown up and where
family still lived. But familiarity can breed
complacency, and in the streets,complacency kills.
When they arrived, T wanted everyone to go inside.
He had that street sense that told him certain areas required
(05:56):
certain precautions, and he urged JB to come into the house
with him. But JB, ever particular about
cleanliness, took one look at the house and declined.
She was funny about dirty spaces, always had been, and she
preferred to wait in the car rather than go into what she
perceived as an unclean environment.
(06:18):
T begged her to come inside. Something in his gut told him it
wasn't safe to leave her in the car, But JB was stubborn.
She'd wait outside, she insisted.
She'd be fine. It was a decision that would
haunt T for the rest of his life, and one that would fuel
conspiracy theories about whether he knew what was coming.
(06:40):
As T walked toward the house, a shadow emerge from the darkness.
The shooter moved with purpose, approaching the black Chrysler
300, where JB sat in the back seat.
In a moment that would change everything, the gunman opened
the passenger side door, the side where T usually sat, and
opened fire. 8 bullets tore through J BS body as she sat
(07:03):
defenseless in the back seat. The driver was grazed but
survived. T, just steps away from the car,
heard the gunshots and came running, but by the time he
reached the vehicle, the shooterhad vanished into the night like
a ghost. JB was still alive when the
ambulance arrived. She even managed to call T from
(07:24):
the ambulance, her voice growingweaker with each word.
He knew, even as he listened to her fading voice, that he was
losing the most important personin his world.
At the hospital, doctors fought to save her life, but the damage
was too severe. Jobena JB Brown, the woman who
(07:44):
had sacrificed everything for her nephew's dreams, was
pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
But according to rumors that would surface years later, JB
wasn't just carrying T's dreams when she died, she was allegedly
carrying his child. The pregnancy rumors began
almost immediately after JB's death, whispered in Barber
(08:05):
shops, discussed in private messages and debated on social
media. The streets started talking and
what they were saying was explosive.
JB had been pregnant when she was murdered and the father was
allegedly Tee Grizzly himself. The allegations were as
scandalous as they were disturbing.
(08:26):
Here was a woman who was supposed to be his aunt, his
manager, his protector, and the streets were claiming she was
also his lover and the mother ofhis unborn child.
The rumors painted a picture of a relationship that had crossed
every possible boundary, family,professional and moral.
Some claim that JB's pregnancy was the real motive for her
(08:49):
murder. Had someone discovered the
secret relationship and decided to eliminate the evidence?
Was JB killed not because of T'sstreet beefs, but because of the
scandal that would have erupted if they're alleged relationship
became public? Others suggested that T himself
had orchestrated JB's murder to cover up the pregnancy and
protect his career. The theory went that he couldn't
(09:12):
afford the scandal of having gotten his aunt pregnant, so he
arranged for her to be killed and made it look like a street
hit gone wrong. These weren't just random
Internet conspiracy theories. They were persistent rumors that
circulated in Detroit's hip hop community for years, gaining
credibility with each retelling.The fact that JB was shot while
(09:33):
T was conveniently inside the house only fueled the
speculation. Why had he insisted she come
inside? Why had he left her alone in the
car? And why had the shooter opened
the passenger door where T usually sat, as if they knew his
habits intimately? The news of J BS death sent
shock waves through Detroit and the hip hop community, but the
(09:55):
rumors that followed created an entirely different kind of
scandal. Fans mourned, fellow artists
paid tribute. But behind closed doors, people
were whispering about pregnancy tests, secret relationships and
cover ups that went to the highest levels of the music
industry. For Tee Grizzly, the world had
(10:16):
just collapsed in more ways thanone.
Not only had he lost the woman who had been his rock, his
protector, his biggest believer,but he was now facing
allegations that would destroy his reputation if they were
true. The circumstances of her death
raised questions that would haunt him for years to come, but
(10:38):
the rumors about their relationship raised questions
that could end his career. The Detroit Police Department
immediately launched A homicide investigation, but answers were
slow to come. The shooting wasn't random, they
said, but beyond that, details were scarce.
No arrests were made in the immediate aftermath.
(10:59):
No suspects were named. The case went cold, leaving a
family devastated, a community demanding justice, and rumors
swirling about secrets that somepeople would kill to protect.
But the streets talk even when the police stay silent, and the
rumors that began circulating inthe wake of J BS murder painted
(11:21):
a picture that was far more complex and scandalous than
anyone initially realized. This wasn't just about cross
city beef or industry politics. This was about forbidden love,
unwanted pregnancies and the kind of family secrets that
destroy lives. Some whispered that it was a
robbery gone wrong, but that theory didn't hold water.
(11:44):
Nothing was taken from the car, and JB wasn't known to carry
large amounts of cash or jewelry.
Others suggested it was connected to Old Street business
grudges that predated T's music career but had followed him into
his new life. But the most persistent and
disturbing rumors centered on the pregnancy allegations.
(12:05):
If JB had been carrying T's child, who else knew who had
discovered their secret, and whowould have been willing to kill
to keep it from becoming public?The answer to those questions
would remain a mystery for years, buried in the complex web
of relationships, rivalries, andfamily secrets that define not
(12:25):
just the rap industry but the most intimate aspects of human
relationships. T himself was consumed by
survivors guilt, telling interviewers that it should have
been him, that his lifestyle hadput JB in danger.
But he never addressed the pregnancy rumors directly, never
confirmed or denied the allegations that continued to
(12:48):
swirl around their relationship.Family members, raw with grief,
sometimes blamed him for bringing violence into their
lives. But were they also blaming him
for something else? Did they know about the alleged
pregnancy? Did they suspect that J BS death
was connected to secrets that went far beyond St. politics?
(13:09):
The pain was compounded by the lack of closure.
With no arrests, no trials, no justice.
The wound remained open, festering.
T channeled his grief into music, releasing the emotional
track Satish as a tribute to JB.But no amount of artistic
expression could silence the rumors or fill the void she'd
(13:30):
left behind. For years, the case remained
cold, but the rumors remained hot.
Crime Stoppers offered a $2500 reward for information leading
to an arrest, but tips were scarce and leads went nowhere.
J BS Murder became another unsolved case in a city that had
(13:51):
seen too many another black woman whose death didn't
generate the media attention or police resources it deserved.
But the pregnancy allegations never went away.
They lived on social media, in barbershop conversations and in
the whispered gossip of the hip hop community.
Every time T released new music,every time he appeared in
(14:15):
public, the rumors followed him like a shadow.
The allegations were particularly damaging because
they played into the worst stereotypes about hip hop
culture and black families. Here was a successful rapper who
had supposedly gotten his own aunt pregnant and then had her
killed to cover it up. It was the kind of story that
fed into racist narratives aboutblack men, black families, and
(14:39):
the moral corruption of hip hop culture.
But in July 2025, nearly six years after J BS murder, a
shocking development would finally break the case wide open
and reveal connections that no one saw coming, while also
reigniting the pregnancy rumors with new intensity.
The arrest of a Chicago gang member known as Wu Tang, an
(15:02):
affiliate of the notorious 600 Gang and OTF Only the family
collective, sent shock waves through both Detroit and
Chicago's hip hop communities. Wu Tang, whose real name has
been withheld pending trial, wascharged in connection with J BS
murder after Ballistics evidenceallegedly linked him to the
Detroit shooting. But the most stunning revelation
(15:24):
wasn't just that a Chicago gang member had been arrested.
It was the web of connections that tied him to people in T
Grizzlies own circle, and the way his arrest reignited all the
old rumors about J BS pregnancy and the real motive for her
murder. Wu Tang was from the same
neighborhood as Buca 600A, prominent member of Lil Dirk's
(15:45):
OTF collective. And Buca 600 wasn't just any
Chicago rapper, he was one of T Grizzly's close friends and
frequent collaborators. The two had worked together on
multiple tracks, including Game Face from Otfs Loyal Bros
compilation. They've been photographed
together, performed together, and by all appearances,
(16:06):
maintained a genuine friendship.The implications were
staggering, and the rumors exploded across social media
with renewed intensity. Had someone from within TS
extended circle orchestrated J BS murder?
Was this a case of betrayal fromwithin, the kind of backdoor
setup that the streets fear most?
Or was it simply a tragic coincidence that the alleged
(16:29):
shooter happened to be connectedto people in T's orbit?
But more importantly, did Wu Tang's arrest confirm what the
streets had been whispering for years?
Had JB been killed not because of random St. violence, but
because someone wanted to silence her permanently?
And if she had been pregnant, who else knew?
(16:49):
And who had the most to lose if that information became public?
The arrest opened up a Pandora'sbox of speculation and
conspiracy theories that went far beyond typical hip hop beef.
Social media exploded with theories about industry,
politics, cross city beefs and the complex relationships
(17:10):
between Chicago and Detroit's rap scenes.
But underneath all the speculation about gang
affiliations and St. politics, the pregnancy rumors continued
to simmer. Some pointed to the long
standing tensions between different factions within the
hip hop community, suggesting that J BS murder was collateral
(17:31):
damage in a larger war. Others focused on the personal
relationships involved, questioning how well T really
knew the people he was working with and whether his friendship
with Buca 600 had somehow put him and his family in danger.
But the most persistent theoriescontinue to center on the
pregnancy allegations. If JB had been carrying T's
(17:54):
child, the theory went, then hermurder wasn't about St. politics
at all. It was about covering up a
scandal that could have destroyed his career and
reputation. The fact that the shooter had
opened the passenger door where T usually sat suggested someone
who knew his habits intimately, someone who might have been
close enough to know about the alleged pregnancy.
(18:17):
The timing of the arrest also raised questions that fed into
the conspiracy theories. Why had it taken nearly six
years to make an arrest? What new evidence had emerged to
finally break the case? And why was a Chicago gang
member allegedly involved in a Detroit murder that might have
been motivated by family secretsrather than St. beef?
(18:38):
According to reports, the breakthrough came through NIBIN
testing, the National IntegratedBallistic Information Network
that tracks firearms used in crimes across different
jurisdictions. The same gun allegedly used to
kill JB had reportedly been connected to other crimes,
creating a trail that eventuallyLED investigators to Wu Tang.
(18:59):
But Ballistics evidence, while compelling, doesn't answer the
question of motive. Why would a Chicago gang member
want to kill T Grizzlies aunt and manager?
What was the connection between the 600 Gang and a Detroit
rapper's family? And most importantly, did the
motive have anything to do with the pregnancy rumors that had
(19:20):
haunted Tea for years? The answers to those questions
may emerge during the trial, butthey've already sparked intense
debate within hip hop communities and reignited all
the old rumors about JB's alleged pregnancy.
Some see J BS murder as part of a larger pattern of violence
that follows successful rappers,a reminder that fame and fortune
(19:43):
don't provide protection from street politics.
Others view it as evidence of how interconnected the rap
industry has become, with beefs and alliances spanning multiple
cities and creating dangerous situations for everyone
involved. But a growing number of people
believe that JB's murder was never about St. politics at all,
(20:03):
that it was about silencing a woman who knew too much, carried
too much, and represented a scandal that could have
destroyed everything T Grizzly had built.
The pregnancy rumors have taken on new life since Wu Fang's
arrest, with social media detectives dissecting every
aspect of T and JB's relationship.
Old photos are being re examinedfor signs of intimacy beyond
(20:25):
what would be appropriate for anaunt and nephew, interview clips
are being analyzed for hints about the true nature of their
relationship, and every public statement T has made about JB
since her death is being scrutinized for hidden meanings.
What makes these rumors particularly explosive is how
they reframe everything we thought we knew about JB's
(20:47):
murder. If she was pregnant with T's
child, then her death wasn't just a tragedy, it was
potentially a double homicide. The unborn child becomes another
victim, another life lost to whatever forces conspired to
silence JB permanently. The rumors also raised
disturbing questions about powerdynamics and exploitation.
(21:09):
JB was older than T, but she wasalso financially dependent on
him and his career. If their relationship had become
intimate, who was really in control?
Was JB a willing participant in a forbidden romance, or was she
a victim of manipulation by someone whose success she had
helped create? These questions become even more
(21:32):
complex when you consider the family dynamics involved.
JB was married to T's blood uncle, making any romantic
relationship with T not just inappropriate but potentially
devastating to the entire familystructure.
If the pregnancy rumors are true, then J BS murder might
have been as much about protecting family honor as it
(21:54):
was about protecting TS career. The street rumors suggest that
multiple people knew about the alleged pregnancy, including
family members who were horrified by the implications.
Some versions of the story claimthat JB was planning to go
public with the pregnancy, either to force T to acknowledge
their relationship or to secure financial support for the child.
(22:18):
Others suggest that she was being pressured by family
members to terminate the pregnancy to avoid scandal.
What makes J BS Story particularly tragic is how it
fits into a broader pattern of Black women being silenced,
whether through violence or through the systematic dismissal
of their voices and experiences.If the pregnancy rumors are
(22:39):
true, then JB was carrying not just a child, but a secret that
powerful people were willing to kill to protect.
She became expendable the momenther existence threatened someone
else's success. This pattern repeats itself
throughout hip hop history, but it extends far beyond the music
industry. From the mothers and girlfriends
(23:00):
caught in crossfire to the managers and assistants who
become targets simply because oftheir association with
successful men, Black women consistently bear the cost of
conflicts they didn't create andsecrets they didn't choose to
keep. J BS Murder also highlights the
unique vulnerabilities faced by women who work closely with male
(23:22):
artists, particularly in industries where personal and
professional relationships oftenbecome entangled.
Success doesn't erase the power imbalances that make women
vulnerable to exploitation, and if anything, it can make those
imbalances more dangerous. The fact that JB was killed
while simply waiting in a car outside a family member's house
(23:43):
underscores how random and senseless this violence can
appear on the surface. But if the pregnancy rumors are
true, then her murder wasn't random at all.
It was a calculated elimination of a woman who had become
inconvenient, dangerous, or both.
As the case moves toward trial, many questions remain unanswered
(24:04):
and the pregnancy rumors continue to swirl.
What was Wu Fang's motive for allegedly killing JB?
Was he acting alone or as part of a larger conspiracy?
How did the Chicago Detroit connection play into the murder?
And most importantly, was JB pregnant when she died, and if
so, who was the father? The trial will likely reveal
(24:27):
more details about the night JB was killed and the events that
led up to her murder. But regardless of what comes out
in court, the pregnancy rumors have already changed how people
view her death in T Grizzly's role in the tragedy.
If JB was pregnant, then her murder represents not just the
loss of a talented manager and beloved family member, but the
(24:49):
silencing of a woman whose only crime may have been loving
someone who couldn't afford to love her back.
Publicly, it represents the deadly intersection of family
secrets, industry, politics and the violence that follows when
powerful people feel threatened.T Grizzly has continued to build
his career in the years since J BS death, but those who know him
(25:13):
say he's never been the same. The guilt of surviving when she
didn't. The knowledge that his lifestyle
may have contributed to her death and the persistent rumors
about their relationship have left permanent scars that no
amount of success can heal. In interviews, he's spoken about
how J BS death changed his perspective on life and success,
(25:35):
but he's never directly addressed the pregnancy rumors
or the allegations about the nature of their relationship.
His silence on these matters hasonly fueled more speculation,
with some interpreting it as guilt and others seeing it as
the appropriate response to baseless rumors.
The woman who had sacrificed everything for his dreams was
(25:55):
gone, and no amount of fame or fortune could bring her back.
Her death forced him to confrontnot just the reality that the
streets don't care about your success, but also the
possibility that his personal choices may have put the person
he loved most in mortal danger. The arrest of Wu Fang has
brought renewed attention to JB's case, but it's also
(26:19):
highlighted the complex web of relationships, rivalries, and
secrets that define modern hip hop.
The genre that was born in urbancommunities as a form of
expression and escape has becomeincreasingly entangled with the
very violence and exploitation it often seeks to document and
transcend. For the hip hop community, J BS
(26:42):
Murder serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of mixing
business with pleasure, family with romance, and success with
secrecy. The rumors surrounding her death
remind us that behind every successful artist are often
women whose sacrifices go unrecognized and whose
vulnerabilities are exploited bythe very people they're trying
(27:03):
to help. The case also raises broader
questions about violence againstwomen in urban communities and
the cycle of silence that protects perpetrators while
silencing victims. How many more women will die
because they knew too much, lovetoo much, or carried secrets
that powerful people couldn't afford to have revealed?
(27:25):
As we await the outcome of Wu Tang's trial, JB's story remains
a powerful reminder of the humancost of success, secrecy, and
the violence that erupts when personal relationships become
entangled with professional ambitions.
Whether the pregnancy rumors aretrue or not, they've become part
of her legacy, a reminder that even in death, Black women's
(27:49):
bodies and experiences remain sites of speculation,
exploitation, and control. The streets of Detroit remember
Jobina JB Brown not just as T Grizzly's aunt and manager, but
as a woman whose death exposed the darkest secrets of hip hop
success. She stood by her nephew when no
one else would, invested in his dreams when they seemed
(28:11):
impossible, and may have paid the ultimate price for a love
that crossed boundaries no one was prepared to acknowledge.
Whether justice will finally be served remains to be seen, but J
BS Legacy lives on in the music she helped create, the career
she helped build, and the uncomfortable questions her
death continues to raise about power, exploitation, and the
(28:35):
price that women pay for men's success.
The trial of Wu Fang will likelyprovide more answers about who
killed JB and why. But for those who loved her, no
verdict can bring back the womanwho gave everything for someone
else's dreams or answer the questions about what she might
have been carrying when she died.
(28:55):
All that remains is the music, the memories, the rumors, and
the hope that her death wasn't in vain, that somehow her story
will help prevent other women from being silenced, exploited,
or killed for the secrets they carry or the love they give.
In the end, J BS Murder represents more than just
(29:19):
another unsolved case or anothervictim of St. violence.
It's a reminder that behind every headline, every arrest,
every trial, there are real people whose lives have been
forever changed by violence thatmay have been motivated by the
most intimate betrayals. And it's a tribute to a woman
(29:41):
who loved without limits, believed without reservation,
and may have paid the ultimate price for crossing boundaries
that society wasn't ready to accept.
Jobina JB Brown deserved better than the violence that took her
life, better than the rumors that followed her death, and
better than being remembered primarily for the scandal that
(30:01):
may or may not have surrounded her final days.
She deserved to see her nephew'scontinued success, to enjoy the
fruits of the sacrifices she made, and to grow old surrounded
by the family she loved so much.Instead, she became another
casualty in a war between love and ambition, another Black
(30:22):
woman whose death serves as a stark reminder of how dangerous
it can be to love powerful men who can't afford to love you
back. Her story isn't over, though.
As long as people remember her sacrifice, her love, and her
unwavering belief in the power of dreams, J BS Legacy will
continue to inspire others to support the people they love,
(30:45):
even when the cost seems too high to bear.
And as long as the pregnancy rumors persist, her death will
continue to raise uncomfortable questions about the price that
women pay for men's secrets and the violence that erupts when
love becomes inconvenient. Jobina JB Brown was more than a
victim of violence. She was a testament to the
(31:06):
transformative power of unconditional love and the
tragic reality that sometimes the people who love us most pay
the highest price for our success, our secrets, and our
inability to protect them from the consequences of our choices.
Stay loved, stay blessed, and stay safe.
Thanks for tuning into No Tears for Black girls.

This is Samantha Paul up next. It's Mirror Who I Am by the
Crown and Soul collective, featured on the official
soundtrack for the novel The Price of Silence by Jaycee
Reedberg. The book is available now on
Amazon and you can download it for free on Kindle.
Don't miss it. I see her in the mirror, cracks
(32:02):
along the frame, lines on her face.
Everyone has a name. Hands on the sink, bracing for
the truth. Every scar, every secret, every
piece for you. She's more than the silence,
(32:24):
more than the pain, more than the shadows.
Because for her name, she's the girl who survived, the woman who
stands 1000 reflections all in her hand.
Let me show me who I am. Not just the pieces, but the
whole of this plan. I see the girl who sees
(32:50):
everything. I see the woman who's learning
to. Sing check it.
Reflections don't lie, but they don't tell it all.
You see the surface, but you don't see the fall.
Built up my armor brick by brick, but the mirror caught the
cracks. I tried to fix every secret,
(33:13):
every story, every bruise. I hide, still staring back at
me. Can't run from what's inside.
Oh, she's more than the silence,more than the pain, more than
the shadows. That waist for her name.
She's the girl who survived, thewoman who stands 1000
(33:33):
reflections all in her hand. Mirror, mirror.
Show me who I am. Not just the pieces, but the
whole of this planet. I see the girl who sees
everything. I see the woman who?
(34:01):
Learning to see sometimes the only shelter.
Here's the truth in your eye. Mirror don't lie, but it don't
show the fight. Sometimes the only answer is the
courage to ride. Every day's a battle, every
night to try. She wipes the glass clean, lest
the past fall away still. Here, still standing, still
finding my way. Final mirror show me.
(34:25):
So I am not just the pieces, butthe whole of this play.
I see the girl who sees everything.
I see the woman who's learning to sing.
(34:47):
Tonight, at last, she's more than.
