Uninzi luhlala lucinga ukuba impumelelo yinkqubo yasebusuku, kodwa akunjalo. Ngobusuku bukaMiss Cox yayilixesha elingaphezulu kweminyaka eli-15, ngokuqinisekileyo ixesha elaneleyo lokujonga uMiss Cox waseNew Yorker. Ukuphishekela umsebenzi wakhe wokubamba, u-Miss Cox wayefudukele eManhattan kwikholeji, kwaye wahlala.
Kwakuhlala kusisicwangciso. Ndabona ukuba njengomntwana ohluphekileyo ovela eMobile, eAlabama ukuza apha esikolweni kuya kuba kuphela kwendlela endinokuthi ndibenalo uhlobo lwesigqubuthelo ukuze ndibone indlela yokuphila. Kuyasetyenzwa ok ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. IsiXeko saseNew York sirhabaxa, kodwa ndiziva ndikhathalelwe ngendlela engaqhelekanga.
U-Miss Cox akazange acinge ngokufudukela eLos Angeles, njengoko uninzi lwabadlali abanomdla kufuneka balandele ikhondo lokuzonwabisa.
U-LA uziva ngathi yindawo endiya kuyo ndiyokusebenzela ndibuye ndibuyele eNew York. NdingumNew Yorker. Yinto nje elula. Ngentlonipho ucela amanzi ashushu, ahleke kwaye ancume kwiweyitala. Kuko konke esikwaziyo, unokuba ngumdlali weqonga osokola ngokwakhe. Into uMiss Cox ayikhumbula kakuhle.

Ukufikelela kula maxesha anzima, uMiss Cox wayenemantra emgcina egxile, kwaye uyaqhubeka nokuyisebenzisa nanamhlanje.
Ibinzana elithi 'hlala eluthandweni' lindikhumbuza ngothando lwam olunzulu ngalo msebenzi wobugcisa. Kundifumene kumaxesha amaninzi xa ndifuna ukuyeka.
Ngo-2008 u-Miss Cox wakhethwa ukuba akhuphisane kwi-VH1 Show Ndifuna ukusebenzela iDiddy . Ngalo lonke ixesha enomfanekiso omkhulu engqondweni, usebenzise eli thuba ukuze angafumani kuphela ukubonwa, kodwa nokudlulisa umyalezo.

Ndiye ndagxekwa ngokuthetha oku, kodwa yinyaniso yam. Ndacinga ukuba kubalulekile kubabukeli kulo mboniso ukuba babone i-rapper emnyama kunye ne-media mogul yamkela umfazi ohamba ngombala kumabonwakude. Bendinethemba lokuba ingatshintsha izinto kum kunye nabanye abafazi abasasazekayo ezitalatweni nakwimimandla emnyama. Andizange ndifune ukuba ngumncedisi wam. Ndihlala ndifuna ukuba ngumdlali weqonga.
Nangona izinto zingatshintshanga ngomlingo, izinto zabekwa. Ukuba igama elingenakuguqulwa eliguqula u-Diddy wayekulungele ukumnika ithuba, mhlawumbi abanye baya kulandela ukukhokela kwakhe. Ekugqibeleni, oko kwaqala ukwenzeka.
Ndinebhongo ngokuba bekukho abanye abantu abadlulayo, ngakumbi oomama abanemibala abaye babonakala kukhuphiswano lwenyani olubonisa emva kwam. Baninzi abantu abadlulayo abafikelela kumaphupha abo kwaye loo nto indenza ndizingce ndonwabile.
U-Miss Cox wasuswa kwi Diddy emva kweziqendu ezibini kuphela. Xa umlandeli waxolisa kuye xa engaphumelelanga, impendulo yakhe yakhawuleza kwaye yaqina:
Ndiphumelele. Ndifumene owam umboniso. Ukubonakala kukaNkosazana Cox Diddy , Wamkhokelela kwinkqubo yakhe kwiVH1, hayi njengenkwenkwezi kuphela, kodwa nomvelisi ngokunjalo.

Nangona uthungelwano oluninzi esilubeke kumdlalo we-trans themed to think abaphulaphuli babo abayi kubukela, bebengakulungelanga ukuba kufuneka siqhubeke nokutyhala kunye nokufumana iindlela zokubalisa amabali ethu ngokuqinisekileyo.
Xa u-Islan Nettles oneminyaka engama-21 ubudala wabulawa kabuhlungu eHarlem kunyaka ophelileyo, u-Miss Cox wathetha kumlindelo wakhe.

Abantu babhale iiblogi besithi bayabaqonda abantu abahlukileyo ngendlela eyahlukileyo kwaye basamkela ngakumbi ngenxa yomboniso. Oko kuyamangalisa ngokwenyani kwaye kuthetha kumandla ophakathi komabonakude kunye nokubhala okunemilinganiselo emininzi eyenza ubunzima kubuntu babantu abohlukeneyo. UViva Jenji Kohan!
