James Parker stood on the doorstep of his modest suburban home, wearing a bright yellow T-shirt emblazoned with a cartoon dinosaur, denim shorts, and his favorite red sneakers. At seven years old, he measured about 4 feet, with a thin but energetic frame and a child-like weight of around 45 pounds. His straight, sandy blonde hair fell just above his ears, and his wide blue eyes danced with a mix of curiosity and excitement as he gazed ahead. His mother, just twenty herself, had finally granted him the momentous permission to go out alone for the very first time.
"Now, James, remember," his mom said in a soft, affectionate voice. "Don't go too far and come back before dark."
With a joyful nod, James took off down the quiet street, every step a new adventure. As the day turned into dusk, the familiarity of his neighborhood began to blur, and an eerie sense of confusion settled over him. Uncertainty gnawed at him as shadows stretched and intertwined, painting odd shapes on the pavement.
Just then, James's foot caught something unusual. He noticed a pair of sandals — bright orange with gold straps and bedazzled beads — awkwardly sitting next to a patch of grass. Shuddering with a grimace, he muttered to himself, “Eww, too girly!” and aimed to dart around them.
But fate had other plans. He tripped on a hidden branch, causing his shoes and socks to fly off. As if in a bizarre sequence of events, James's small feet were thrust into the sandals, which seemed to latch onto him.
"Gross!" James screamed, immediately kicking them off. However, the damage was already done; a strange tingling sensation enveloped his feet. To his horror, his feet began to crack and darken into a rich brown tone, and a vibrant turquoise nail polish magically appeared on his toenails.
"Mommy! Help! Mommmmmmy!" he yelled, tears forming as he stared at his now too-girly feet.
His legs began to stretch and reshape, his torso elongating and narrowing into a woman’s form. His arms and hands followed suit, transforming with the same dark hue and sprouting long, turquoise-painted fingernails. His face matured, his features shifting, and his hair turned into a lush cascade of styled black curls.
A skimpy clubbing outfit materialized on his body: a tight gold mini dress that sparkled in the starlight. A chic, black leather purse draped itself over his shoulder, containing a wallet with IDs, a compact mirror, lipstick that matched his nails, and a set of keys.
Memories invaded his mind—he tried to resist, but they cascaded in, washing away his younger self. He was now Latoya Jenkins, a 50-year-old from "New Yoke," standing proud at 5-foot-7, weighing a sleek 140 pounds. Her eyes were a warm, coffee brown, reflecting a life well-lived. Latoya had always considered herself confidently sassy.
Latoya's memory drifted to the worst insult she had received. She was twenty-one, and a man had called her “a worthless speck” during an argument. Her face darkened with anger. “I ain’t never forgotten that damn fool. I hate all them white people,” she muttered.
She suddenly noticed her bare feet and let out an irate shout, “Now I’m gonna mess up my pedicure!” She retrieved her sandals and sat down, diligently slipping on each one with practiced precision, adjusting them perfectly.
With a confident stride, she picked up her purse, scanning her reflection in a nearby store window. Setting the purse down, she began striking poses like a catwalk model.
"You got it, girl. Look at those curves!" she shouted, running her hands proudly over her hourglass figure, admiring her nails, her hips, and even her feet in those newly reclaimed sandals.
Nightfall, however, cast an intimidating cloak over her confidence. “I’m Latoya Jenkins! I’m fifty, born on June 30th, 1973, from the great state of New Yoke! I’m lookin’ fierce in my gold dress and turquoise nails. Ain’t nothing gonna faze me!”
Her thoughts warmed over her children, especially her youngest who always swiped her things. “That lil’ troublemaker, always tryna steal my shoes!” she grumbled fondly.
Remembering how she got the sandals from her dearest friend, she whispered, “I love you, Shaniqua.”
Catching sight of her reflection again, she began gyrating her hips and praised herself louder, “Thanks, Mama, for these curves and making me a proud Black woman from Brook-lynn, New Yoke! Rest in peace, Mama.”
From her purse, she extracted a pair of sparkling gold hoops and a delicate gold bracelet, fastening them with pride. She also found her phone, ensuring it was charged for safety.
Startled by a noise, she clutched her purse tightly. "Hell nah... who finna mess with a Black woman?" she whispered, hyping herself up. “What kinda nigga would mess with a sista from New Yoke like me?”
With all remnants of James gone, Latoya strutted down the street, fully embracing her new identity and confident that nothing would stand in her way.
