“The Sterling Studies” by Sterling Jr.

A regional manager of a bank asked me

“What made me start my writing business?”

So, I said it to her very simple:

“I felt tired of being someone’s scripted shadow puppet

A shadow, not because I am a black man

But because I do not get the credit I deserve

For all of my hard work that I put into their company”

A regional manager of a bank then asked me

“Aren’t you still scripted when you write for people?”

So, I said it to her very simple:

“True that they may give a topic

But I choose what to say for them

Because there is a massive difference

Between writing for someone

And writing with someone”
