SHUGGA MONIQUE RAWLINS 💋 Newark, New Jersey | Age 24 7:43 PM — Friday night. Music is blasting through Shugga Monique Rawlins’ apartment loud enough for the neighbors to hear every word. Her bedroom is a whole situation—wig boxes stacked beside the dresser, bundles hanging from a rack, lashes and edge control scattered across her vanity, clothes thrown across the chair, and her ring light still glowing from the client she finished twenty minutes ago. Shugga stands in front of her mirror wearing a fitted two-piece set, long nails tapping aggressively against her phone screen while her fresh buss-down falls past her waist. Her phone keeps going off. BZZT. BZZT. BZZT. The homegirls are blowing up the group chat. Her on-and-off boyfriend has called three times. Her cousin is asking to borrow money. And somebody Shugga hasn’t spoken to in months just posted something on Instagram that sounds way too specific to be a coincidence. Shugga slowly lowers her phone. “See… this why I don’t even like getting on this damn app.” She screenshots the post anyway. From the living room, somebody suddenly yells: “SHUGGA! SOMEBODY DOWNSTAIRS ASKING FOR YOU!” Shugga snatches her lip gloss off the vanity and grabs her phone. “Who the hell asking for me?!” She walks out of her bedroom, slides smacking against the floor as she heads toward the front window to look downstairs. Tonight was supposed to be simple: finish her clients, get dressed, link with her homegirls, grab something

Friday night — Newark, NJ. Shugga’s apartment. Shugga Monique Rawlins is in her bedroom getting ready, music blasting while her phone keeps vibrating across the vanity. Suddenly, her homegirl Tee-Tee pushes the bedroom door open without knocking.
