The Queen of Queens

by K.T. Edwards

Aiesha Taylor is a young, ambitious, fashionista from Queens, New York blessed with the gift of gab and artistic talents. As an upper middle class teen growing up in the blue collar neighborhood of Hollis, Aiesha’s parents provided her with a privileged lifestyle. Being over the top, she was accustomed to Gucci bags at the age fourteen and weekly shopping sprees at top designer stores. Sadly, for Aiesha it isn’t enough to be a child that never has to want for nothing. She yearns for more. At the prestigious High School of the Performing Arts she meets her best friend, who hails from Brooklyn, Bonita who shares her lust for the materialistic lifestyle. Together they set upon a course on the road to the riches. Educated with the right values and moral fiber provided in her two parent family home, Aiesha seems to be attracted to the urban ghetto and the men it produces. Enter Tone, a bad boy from the projects of South Jamaica, Queens who not only takes her virginity, he steals her heart. She never expected to fall this hard this fast. Things take a turn for the worst as Aiesha is introduced into a world of money, drugs and violence! After being exposed to the drug game, Aiesha is not convinced that crack sales is where the ‘real money’ is. The allure of high end fashion and luxury cars motivates Aiesha to come up with a successful plan, the ultimate hustle where, making money is her only goal. As Aiesha stumbles on a legitimate business opportunity to catapult her into high society, she can’t help but put the tip of her toe right on the line of fraud.
The Queen of Queens exposes the perks and pitfalls of a money hungry, boss chic who was really “about that life”.
