God I genuinely NEED new friends. I am so drained and tired of the adolescent, flakey, selfish behaviours. I deeply crave people who are consistent, organised and emotionally mature.

Genuinely ready to shed this friend group and find my people. People who will give me the space to pour into them the way I truly want to. People who I can feel secure prioritising and who I can TRUST to do the same for me.

I'm ready to find my sisterhood, my coven.

S1 | Shades of Brown

0. Prologue

[Spring 2032 – Shades of Brown’s Final interview]

“Welcome to Hot Atlanta 98.7! Today, we have some lovely talent in this building. They’ve been hailed as this generation of the lovely trio known as TLC with vocals of En Vogue and harmonies of SWV but have the Swagger of Xscape. Their second album, Bronze Goddess, is now considered a diamond-certified Album, and their upcoming album has already stemmed two #1 hits and is still charting today! We Have Luna, Ryn, and Venus, and they are…”

“Shades of Brown!” The girls happily announced through the middle microphone. The radio host pressed a button that played a recording of people applauding.

“We are glad to have you this morning! I know, with your hectic schedule, you didn’t have much time to stop by.” Romeo graciously states.

“No! We always have to stop by here! You were the first people to really believe in us.” Venus notes appreciatively.

“How could we not?—” Nautica, the co-host pauses as she reminisces.

“I remember the first time you guys came on here. The CEO of Atomix Records, Shaudae Jenkins, who is my cousin, begged me to allow you guys on air. We had just interviewed PD3, and PD3 had already had our co-sign, but she was like, we needed to hear you girls out. You write and produce your own records, right?” Ryn hums and nods.

“And you also do your own harmonies, and she was persistent that you guys were better than PD3. Which, we didn’t believe at the time, but you definitely proved us wrong. You dropped hit after hit and won several awards, including two Album of the Year awards for your debut and sophomore album. How does it feel?” Luna softly sighs.

“It feels great… Honestly, when I made this group at the age of twelve, I always dreamed we would be big, but I didn’t expect it to be this successful.”

“Yeah, We just wanted a little fame, nothing too crazy, but now three albums deep, we’re considered legends and Icons by our peers. Which is an amazing feeling,” Ryn adds.

“Now, Rumor has it, this final album, “The Unholy Trinity” is your last album together, is that true?” The girls hesitantly looked at each other before Venus let out a soft sigh.

“So, the rumor is true. This album will be our last album as a trio.” The female host gasped.

“You heard it here first! Their third album will be their last album as a trio.”

“So, tell me, why album 3?” Romeo interjects.

“Well, when I joined the group at the time, I never expected to take off as well as it did. Honestly, I ain’t really built for this fame shit. I made enough money from other projects and sponsorships. That I can happily retire with my husband and kids.” Nautica gasped, smiling.

“That is right! You ended up marrying the Oscar-winning actor, Tylas Winter, and just recently gave birth to twins,” Venus chuckles.

“Not recently. The twins are about to be four.” Nautica’s eyes widen.

“Has it been that long?!” Venus chuckles, nodding.

“Yeah, that’s why this final album has taken so long to be released. Between my personal life, Ryn being booked to do other musical projects, and Luna hosting gigs for reality shows, we have all just been doing our own thing, prolonging the final album, but it’s also since we decided this would be our final album as a trio, we really wanna put out a great body of work that can last the fans until we decide to reunite again as a trio.”

“So, is everyone going their separate ways?” Romeo asks, piggybacking on Venus’ previous statement.

“So, no. Ryn and I are still gunna do Shades of Brown and maybe release songs as a Duo. But Venus is out of the game, and we respect her decision. We fulfilled our contract with Atomix Records, and now, we will sign on as a duo until Venus feels ready to come back to the music scene.”

“So, you’re not replacing Venus?”

“Oh, God no! Nobody can be replaced…”

“We’re destined to be together.”

“We rose together.”

“And we shined together.”

“Nobody… I mean nobody! Can replace anyone from the unholy trinity.”

the art of sisterhood, the importance of black sisterhood. my love letter to my bestfriends.

Sisterhood by definition and quite simply means the relationship between sisters.

Prospective Lines foundation is community and togetherness. This project in collaboration with my bestfriends of over ten years is the very meaning of the lining of what prospective lines as a whole means. the art of showing up for those you love most. my friends are the true epitome of what being a woman means; loving, carefree, creative, full of life, full of laughter, full of endless amounts of joy and love. they are one of the highlights of my life, and life without them, would simply be unbearable. these ladies make loving them easy. Peace, Mia, Jill, Mariatu and Temi are the very essence of my heart. I have struggled to put into words what having a great friendship can do for one, and today I've finally got it. A great friendship fuels your soul and gives you life. That, and having God at the centre of your union. The cheat code for sisterhood in words - is simple and whilst there is no right or wrong way.

This is what I've nailed it down to, transparency, accountability, consistency, communication, commitment, understanding and honesty.

This project was my way to showcase our lifelong friendship in photographs. I wanted the shoot to reflect them and be fun and full of love. Our collective @ne6retias was established on the social media platform, Instagram in early February of 2023. We wanted to create a space to showcase our togetherness, our 10 plus years of friendship, the community we have built together and having a safe space to just be ourselves. That is everything that the Negretias Instagram represents as it's a mirrored reflection of how we've always been, just showeased on a broader platform for everyone to see. It is quite unique to see friendships that last out of secondary school. Especially close friendships. This project entitled,

'Negretias's (Berry's Version) being this weeks 'faces' highlight, on the launch of our site 'Prospective Lines' is the most special way to release my heart to the world. So to my very own Benny, Jilly, Mimi, Mari and Tem Tem. I say thank you. Thank you for this wonderful gift of friendship. For our sisterhood. For creating a safe space for me and giving me hope and support in every element of the phrase. Thank you for being my guiding light and sticking beside me for all of these years. I can only pray that God's love continues to shine through all 5 of you.

That God strengths you, protects you and makes you happy. All I want is happiness and love for all of you. I want you to win in everything you do. You are all so hardworking and I admire you all so much in different ways. I love that we all bring something special and authentic to our sister circle. With that being said, the 6 of us are, forever.

I'll be here to support and celebrate you forever. to pour into you when you most need it and even when you don't. I love you all day, all night for the rest of my life! Negretias world forever and ever and ever and after that! Here's to you my loves.

the love of my life is, the love of my life 🫀

Feminine Energy isn't about being weak. It's about tapping into qualities like intuition, empathy, and creativity. These traits have helped Black women lead movements, create art, and drive change throughout history.

I will always say this to you: When Black Women embrace their feminine energy, they become unstoppable. They tap into their creativity and intuition, finding new ways to solve problems and make a difference. And they build connections that bridge gaps and bring people together, no matter their background.

The Power of Black Women Supporting Each Other: United We Win 👑

(Black Women in Hollywood, Essence. 2024)

In a world where black women have historically been marginalized and pitted against each other, it is crucial now more than ever for us to stand united and support one another. The notion that there is only room for a few at the top is a fallacy that has perpetuated division and hindered our collective progress. It is time to recognize that there is an abundance of talent, brilliance, and strength within our community, and by lifting each other up, we can shatter barriers, redefine success, and create a new narrative of solidarity and empowerment. Together, we can break through the glass ceiling and rise to new heights, leaving no black woman behind.

🪄 The Magic Behind Supporting Each Other Includes:

👑 Embracing Sisterhood:

As black women, we understand the struggles and challenges we face in various aspects of life. By supporting each other, we foster a sense of sisterhood that allows us to connect on a deeper level. Through embracing the concept of sisterhood, we find common ground and create a safe space where we can share our triumphs, challenges, and knowledge. Together, we uplift and empower one another, ensuring that no one is left behind.

👑 Breaking Stereotypes:

When black women succeed, we shatter preconceived notions and pave the way for future generations. Our collective achievements inspire others to pursue their passions, regardless of societal limitations.i

👑 Collaboration Over Competition:

Rather than viewing one another as competitors, we choose collaboration over competition. We recognize that our individual successes do not diminish the accomplishments of others. Instead, our achievements collectively contribute to a stronger, more vibrant community. From sharing techniques and experiences to supporting each other's businesses, we foster an environment where everyone can thrive.

👑 Leading By Example:

When we support one another, we become beacons of inspiration for young black girls and women who aspire to become successful in all areas of life . By showcasing our unity, we demonstrate the power of collective success. We encourage future generations to embrace their talents, chase their dreams, and support their fellow black women in their respective endeavors.

As we stitch our efforts together, we have the chance to showcase the power and harmony of black women upliftng one another. By celebrating each other's victories, we reinforce the belief that there is more than enough room at the top for all of us. Let us continue to uplift, empower, and inspire one another, for when one of us wins, we all do.
