James was a slight, 3-foot-5-inch tall, 40-pound, seven-year-old boy with messy sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Today, James was clad in his favorite blue T-shirt with a cartoon character sprawled across it, accompanied by denim shorts and a pair of well-worn sneakers.
His 20-year-old mom, Lily, a young woman with strawberry blonde hair and an ever-present smile, had finally acquiesced to his incessant pleas to venture out alone. "Remember to come back before dark," she had warned with a gentle reminder that struck worry into her eyes.
James took cautious steps forward, filled with an enthusiastic yet nervous anticipation. The world seemed enormous and full of promise, though he felt a tickle of discomfort as dusk began to descend faster than he had anticipated. Before long, he found himself in an unfamiliar part of town, the growing shadows unsettling him.
As he nervously scanned his surroundings, something caught his eyeāa pair of sandals, but not just any sandals. They were slim, strappy, and a shade of electric blue, discarded nonchalantly by the roadside. The sandals glinted under the dim streetlight, undeniably drawing his gaze. Nevertheless, he crinkled his nose in disgust. "Ewww, too girly," he murmured to himself, aiming to bypass them entirely.
However, in his distraction, he tripped over a stone he hadn't noticed. His sneakers and mismatched socks shot off in different directions as he tumbled. His feet landed right into the skimpy sandals he had intended to avoid. Instantly, he kicked them off in revulsion, but something strange began to happenāhis feet started tingling intensely.
He looked down in alarm as his feet began to turn a dark brown shade, cracks forming as sparkling turquoise toenail polish appeared. "Ugh! Mommy! Help!" he screamed, his voice catching in his throat, his eyesight blurring.
James watched helplessly as his legs and torso elongated and feminized. His skin grew rich and dark, his arms slender and exotic with matching turquoise fingernails. His boyish face softened and matured, his features morphing into that of an exceptionally beautiful black woman. His hair reconfigured into a chic, short black hairstyle commonly seen on sophisticated women. An ultramodern, skimpy clubbing outfit materialized on his form, consisting of a glittery electric blue dress and elaborate gold jewelry. In his newly manicured hands now hung a satiny gold purse filled with essentials: mascara, compact mirror, car keys, lipstick in a bright red shade, and a small, worn photograph of a young man.
As James struggled to fight the radical transformations both internally and externally, his old memories diminished until only those of Yolanda Jackson, a glamorous and spirited 50-year-old woman from Illinois, remained. She recalled her birthday, February 10, 1973, with vivid fondness. Standing at 5'10", her weight fluctuated at an elegant 145 pounds. Her eyes, a sharp hazel, currently glistened with confusion and pride in equal measure.
Caught in her reflection, she exclaimed aloud, "Oh, my stars! I am one fiiine sister tonight. Look what shoes did to me!" She noticed she was barefoot, her dazzling blue pedicure vulnerable. "Lord, I ain't ruin my pedicure now!"
Spotting the sandals, she puzzled, "Now, why did I kick these off?" Returning to the stone, she sat and progressively slid each shoe on, securing the straps meticulously and adjusting them to perfection. She then straightened, adjusting her purse, more confident, albeit bewildered.
As she strutted down the street, she stopped near another mirror to pose, seductively turning her head to the side, squinting with intense focus, and then smiling radiantly. "Damn girl, you still. got it!" Yolanda whispered fiercely. Her hands caressed her waist, hips, and ample bust with confidence. "Thank you, Jesus, for these curves, and shout out to my mama! May she rest in peace."
In a pocket of insecurity as nighttime crept closer, Yolanda recited her truths. "My name Yolanda Jackson, honey. Fifty years young. Born February 10, 1973, in the wonderful state of Illinois. I chose this dress 'cause it makes me look damn fine, these shoes 'cause they match it perfectly, and these turquoise nails to stand out. Worst experience? Being ignored in a meeting 'cause I'm a black woman. Guess what? Threw my hands up, cursed āem to hell. Still ticked when I think 'bout it."
Clutching her purse containing not only her photo but two chic accessories, a pair of gold hoop earrings and an ornate bangle, she adorned herself further. She also pulled out her lipstick to touch it up, landing on crimson perfection.
"Man, here I am thinking about my babies. My son, 7, and my little girl, Lord, 5, always gettin' into my things without permission.ā Her youngest, so like her former self.
When a rustle interrupted her thoughts, she clutched her purse tighter, fear spreading. She speed-walked clumsily, tripping but bravely continuing. Facing another reflection, feeling exposed, she asserted, "I may be from Illinois, nigga, but I'm fifty years old." She proudly noted her still fierce but subtly aging visage. "Nigga, what am I even doin' out here in this dress and shoes?" Confused, she recollected, "Oh, that's right. I was goin' to the jazz festival. Must've gotten distracted. My beauty is too powerful, and my shoes weren't on 'cause I was checking on that pedicure."
Yolanda brushed off the inexplicable giggle that erupted. Perhaps she was only ever meant to be Yolanda Jackson after all. And she strutted away with reflections in a world she had conjured herself to belong to.
