James Reynolds was a small, seven-year-old boy, with sandy-blonde hair cut into a neat bowl cut that framed his cherubic face. His eyes were a striking blue, full of innocent curiosity, and his pale skin was lightly freckled. Standing just four feet tall and weighing not much more than 50 pounds, James looked every bit the child he was. Today, he wore a simple outfit of blue shorts, a red t-shirt, and a pair of white sneakers with matching socks.
James's mom, Ruby, at only twenty years old, was always hesitant when it came to her son venturing out alone. But today, she decided to loosen the reins a bit, granting him his long-desired freedom to explore their small neighborhood by himself. Jamesâ heart raced with excitement as he kissed his mom goodbye and stepped out of the house, clutching a small flashlight just in case it got dark before he made it back.
The evening was initially bright and warm, and James's adventurous spirit led him through various alleyways and along the side streets. As nightfall approached, the unfamiliar area took on an eerie aura, and James started to feel a bit uneasy. He wandered aimlessly for a while, trying to figure out his way back home, when he noticed something unusual on the ground. "Ew!" he exclaimed, seeing a pair of skimpy, bright red sandals discarded by the sidewalk. They had thin straps and tiny, glittery details on the frontânot pink, but still too girly for Jamesâs taste.
Determined to avoid the sandals, James made a wide berth around them. Unfortunately, he tripped over an unseen object, leading to a comedic yet unfortunate series of events: his sneakers and socks were sent flying off his feet as he stumbled right into the sandals. âGross!â he muttered, instinctively kicking them off. As soon as he did, a tingling sensation enveloped his feet. Panic surged through him as he noticed his feet starting to changeâcracking, turning a darker shade of brown, and growing toenail polish which gleamed a vibrant blue.
âNo, no, no!â James whispered frantically. He screamed, âMommy!â as he watched his legs elongate and gain a natural, feminine curve, matching his now brown torso. His arms thinned out, with his fingernails growing and turning the same shade of blue as his toenails. His face matured into that of a beautiful black woman, his hair darkened and styled into voluminous, cascading curls.
James found himself wearing an outfit that screamed nightlifeâshort, tight, and shimmering. A form-fitting silver dress hugged his body curves, and a small matching metallic purse materialized at his side. The purse housed a lipstick, a compact mirror, and a phone.
Wholly transformed, James's mind fought but ultimately succumbed to new memories and a new identity. He was no longer James Reynolds but Shaniqua Brown, a confident 51-year-old woman from Alabama. Her birthday was May 5, 1972. She was 5'10" tall, weighed 145 pounds, and her dark brown eyes were sharp and discerning.
"Chil', someone done called me a 'ghetto queen' jusâ âcuz I had my nails did and my hair all pretty. I was jus' twenty-eight!" she fumed aloud, her voice seasoned with a rich Southern accent. "Ainât no white folk got the right to look down on me!"
Shaniqua glanced down and noticed she was barefoot. "Damn, I better not mess up my pedicure," she mumbled as she reached for her discarded sandals. Sitting down, she carefully placed her right foot into the right sandal, adjusting the straps. Then, she did the same with her left foot, ensuring each sandal was perfectly fitted.
Standing up, she adjusted her purse and began strutting down the sidewalk until she caught her reflection in a shop window. She paused to admire herself, setting her purse down.
"Ooh, girl, you lookin' so fine tonight! Look at them curves," she hyped herself up, smiling confidently. She ran her hands over her hips and waist. "Mmm, chile, look at them nails!" She admired their vibrant blue color, then moved her gaze to her feet, "And them feet! Look at that polish. Gurl, you got it goin' on!â
The darkness around her seemed to close in, intimidating her. âCâmon, Shaniqua! You 51 years old now! Born May 5, 1972, in Alabama!â she affirmed fiercely. âRockinâ this silver dress and these red sandals while flashin' these gorgeous blue nails! Handle yoâ business!â
She thought of her children: âPhyllis, 28, Quentin, 32, and little Sasha, always tryna get in my clothes. Mustâve stole these sandals before,â she seethed quietly. "Got these sandals from Jerome; bless his heart, I do love that man," she said softly to herself.
Her reflection caught her eye again. She shook her hips and struck a pose, shouting, âThank you, Lord, for makinâ me a black woman! Shout out to my mama for these curves! Thank you, BeyoncĂ©!â
She pulled out a pair of hoop earrings and a stylish scarf from her purse to complete her look, then grabbed her compact mirror for a quick touch-up. A sudden noise made her clutch the purse to her chest in fear. "Hell nah, who tryna mess with Shaniqua from Alabama?â
She shouted into the night, "What kinda nigga would mess with a woman like me from Alabama?â
Regaining her composure, she strutted confidently down the road, fully immersed in her new life, completely and irreversibly Shaniqua Brown.
