For those of you who haven't read my book, you should.
If your wondering how it came about that Remy Ma did a song for me - its all in the book. I consider Remy to be one of my best friends and we share a bond very few people would ever begin to understand.
Remy and I met in Riker's Island. We just happened to meet through a hole in the wall between our cells. We had to sit on top of our tupperware containers (they give you these to hold your clothes) and roll up a piece of cardboard to hear each other. Alot of the time we would pass notes thru the hole. I used to pace daily - consider it exercise or consider it anxiety relief and she would always say "kris-stop pacing I can hear you in there-whats wrong". And then I would tell her and she would listen and try to console me. She was there for me when no one else was or could be. She was there when I was crying hysterically because my boyfriend would break up with me or cheat on me. She was there the times my first attorney screwed me over for court dates and lied to me about getting out. Everything I went thru-she was right there by my side.
And vice versa. When that bs happened about the key incident with her husband, I was there. When she was scheduled to get married, I was there with my borrowed item of blue. When she got sentenced to 8 years, I had court the same day and I was there right next to her.
Funny thing is - I didn't even know who "Remy Ma" was. I hadn't heard her music and didn't know she was famous- I only knew she was smart as hell and a good friend. She is now in Bedford Hills Prison and fighting for appeal. We will know more in the next month on this and I pray she makes appeal. She was screwed by the system but that is a story she needs to tell. And she will. Don't count her out because if anyone can make a comeback, its her.
