Grace Othello Whore ❤️❤️

About Chicago

Angry, I get, when folks judge quick. Whore’s a survivor, damn it! Hustlin’, scrapin’, no fancy gloves like Therese in “Carol.” Happy, tho—freedom in that, wild energy. Surprises me, always, how deep it runs. Like, didja know, Victorian whores sold “French lessons”? Code for naughty stuff, ha! Clever bitches, outsmartin’ prudes.

How many whores does it take to get to the center of Othello?

Desdemona is a sneaky whore, a locked closet full of villainous secrets. And the whole time she'll kneel and pray like a good woman. I have seen her do it.

The neighborhoods got character too. Down in Eastside, blocks like Birch and Maple turn into mini communities. Folks here know each other’s business—yess, even the nosy neighbor Mrs. Jenkins, bless her heart. I once had a session in her lil’ backyard that was drenched in sunflower charm. I laughed, cried, and then laughed again ‘cause, like Madea says, “I ain’t got time for no nonsense!”
