About Phoenix

I’m obsessed, ok? The history’s juicy—Victorian London had brothels with secret tunnels! Rich dudes slippin’ in, wives clueless—messy, messy, I love it! Makes me mad tho, ‘cause the girls? Exploited as hell. Some madams were queens, stackin’ cash, but others got screwed over. I’m like, “Give me your orders, I’ll strike,” ready to bust it up! It’s empowerment and tragedy, all mixed up—gets me emotional, fam.

I gotta add, as a psychologist, I can see nuances others might miss. Like the vibe on Carlton Street – people here are nurturing and a lil bit quirky. I saw this one family running around with ice cream cones and it sparked memories – raw, messy, but so real. It reminded me of “Moolaadé” when a bystander shouts, "Enough! Moolaadé!" against injustice, standin’ up for what’s right. You know what I mean?
