The story that I thought

was my life

didn’t start on the day

I was born 

Amal Shahid has always been an artist and a poet. But even in a diverse art school, because of a biased system he’s seen as disruptive and unmotivated. Then, one fateful night, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. “Boys just being boys” turns out to be true only when those boys are white. 

The story that I think

will be my life 

starts today

Suddenly, at just sixteen years old, Amal is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it? 

With spellbinding lyricism, award-winning author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform activist Yusef Salaam tell a moving and deeply profound story about how one boy is able to maintain his humanity and fight for the truth in a system designed to strip him of both.

Beautiful, Versatile Boot
Size: 8.5, Color: Cyprus Tan
Versatile boots for business wear. The calf profile is sleek and slim so they are wearable under straight cut pants but also look beautiful paired with a midi skirt and sweater. I am 5’6” and 145 lbs. These stop right below my kneecap and have just enough room in the calf to slide up my leg but stay in place. I am usually a size 8 and originally purchased an 8 in these boots but found the toe too short and narrow. When I sized up to an 8.5 the toe bed was comfortable and roomy. Heel is just high enough to give a dressed up look but is still comfortable to walk in.

Slyvia boot is a great looking pair of boots
Size: 8, Color: Black Leather
These are a great pair of boots that run true to size. Genuine leather as they do conform to fit. Hell height is perfect on these boots and are wearable 6 to 8 hours easily with no pain. I make sure to condition the leather on my boots before wearing and after every 2nd to 3rd wearing stuff the bootsto store them.

Buttery soft, comfortable and the perfect height!!!
Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather, Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather
I ripped these out of the box as soon as they arrived lol 😂 I knew they were the black knee high boots that I wanted to have as a staple in my Fall closet. They did not disappoint! The stitching is impeccable, they are buttery soft from top to bottom, they are the signature San Edelman design, the heel is perfect – it’s not clunky it’s sleek, but it’s not too high so you can wear these with pants and dresses and skirts. They are VERY COMFORTABLE!!! They are pointy - but I sized up a half so they are not squeezing my foot at all. I can move my toes around and there’s enough space for socks if I need to wear them. I am in ❤️!!!

These boots were made for walking…
Size: 9, Color: Chocolate Brown
Stylish black suede boots with an adorable chunky heel. The fit is true to size. They look elegant yet dangerous! They were also, surprisingly, very comfortable!

My favorite boots ever!
I searched forever to find the perfect camel boots and could not be happier with this purchase. So happy, in fact, that I bought another pair in a different color! They’re really soft and the perfect heel height to still be comfortable. They are so classy and definitely a staple for me for work. Love!
