Reading Grace After Midnight really reconnected me with the TV show that I had so much fun watching a few months ago. The show was literally a documentary in a fictional format.
Every character in the show was based on real or very probable figures in the actual area" West Baltimore, and had something to tell us about their lives: drugs, gangs, poverty, crime, street culture, schools, police department, local politicians, and the community itself.
Snoop was especially impressive not just because of the cold-hearted and cold-blooded character, but also the real person behind, Felicia Pearson. Her real life isn't too much different from that of Snoop.
Instead of attending school, Felicia was a drug dealer and at a very young age, she was convicted of murder and sentenced to eight years in prison. While in prison, she got her GED and was released. Trying to re-start a new life, she struggled with prejudice based on her criminal records.
Very luckily and dramatically she starts the acting job through a character in the show, Omar.
By watching Snoob, we can easily identify her with the real person, and what the little girl went through. Snoob's presense did add more reality to the show, and makes us feel happy for her new life. Too bad to hear that she got imprisoned again recently for drub possession. Hopfully she can continue to use her life experience and lesson in giving positive influence to many youths today who're following the dark path.
