Why Aesha Ash is Wandering Around Inner City Rochester in a Tutu Growing up in inner city Rochester, NY, Aesha Ash was just one of the neighborhood kids. She'd imagine people driving by, judging her by her black skin.

“They’d never know that I was dreaming of becoming a professional ballet dancer. No one would think, Some day she’s going to make it into New York City Ballet,” says Ash.

Stand off Video. Film from an undisclosed location. A bunker, if those weapons are loaded like at Kent State. How many magazines are people seeing? Loaded mags are heavy as lead usually is. You can tell if weapon you pick is loaded by the weight. They want a body count to perpetuate the operation.

I am poor, homeless and dying soon so I am amusing myself while I wait.
That’s being blunt, but communication is something we talk about. I mostly talk to animals and just vent my spleen here. They get me.
They get me, and all of us. They have studied us for much longer than we have studied them.
