Emma Pryor Brothel ❤️

About Philadelphia

Aight, so picture this—some chick on the corner, heels high as my self-esteem, skirt short, attitude loud. She’s out there, “I play for keeps,” like Szpilman bangin them keys to live. I respect that hustle, fam! Makes me happy seein someone own their power, even if society’s all “ew, trash.” Pisses me off tho—why we judgin? She’s payin bills, feedin kids maybe, who knows?

The Official Biography of Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor is raised in a brothel where his grandmother is the madam: Part 1. The legendary comedian grew up in Peoria, Illinois.

The downtown area—oh boy—it’s like one big happy mess. There's the old S. Monroe Ave., where couples share whispers and street corners listen. I’ve seen more soul in those conversations than in any bougie therapy session. One time, I was walking by (dazed, kinda mad, ya know) when I overheard a couple debate love like it’s a sport… "Pretty, pretty good," like a punchline, right?
