The Man Whisperer - Katrell Lakema

Mahala takes you back to high school in the 90s, a time when music and love had a different vibe-fun and unforgettable. At just 13, Mahala carries the wisdom of someone far older, but like many kids, she keeps her feelings locked inside. Her exceptional talent in art allows her to express herself through poetry, giving her an outlet for her inner turmoil. Mahala is a complex young woman. Despite her popularity in high school, she struggles with anxiety and dissociative identity disorder-secrets known only to a few: her sister Liberty, her best friend Mike, and her boyfriend Freedom. These relationships are her lifeline, offering her support and understanding in a world that often feels overwhelming. Whether she's caring for Liberty and her brother Zeus or confronting the neighborhood drug dealer, Mahala uses the power of her mind to escape any and all dangers. She has an uncanny ability to occupy space in a man's head, making her both a leader and a protector. Mahala will stop at nothing to safeguard her family-even if it means killing. This story delves into the complexities of mental health, the strength of familial bonds, and the power of artistic expression. Mahala's journey is one of resilience, love, and the constant battle to maintain her sense of self in a world that often feels chaotic and unforgiving.
