Butter Pecan

Black Lives Matter! Really? Not through the eyes of the badge. Butter Pecan is a fictional story I wrote after reading about the death of a beautiful young black woman. While embarking upon a new journey in a new city, she was pulled over by Texas law enforcement. Sadly, she was arrested and would later be found dead in her Texas jail cell. Her tragic death made headline news. I watched as the media gave me a glimpse into this young ladies life. A tiny little bit. Just enough to make me curious about who she really was and then poof! She was gone. Another African American murdered by the Police had taken her place. That’s what prompted me to write Butter Pecan. Instead of a snippet, I want to give you the story of a life lived. The story of someone who, like her, was loved. A person who mattered. A father, son and husband. Welcome to the world of Sincere Fleming. A man born BLACK!
