Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea: A Philly Jawn

By Eboni Ferguson

When Philly raised you and poetry saved you, what's left to run from?

Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea is what happens when love crashes into survival in a city that loves you back. Until it doesn't. A story that's raw, lyrical and unapologetically human.

Yana and Dom never stood a chance. Or maybe they always did. Raised in the aftermath of addiction, abandonment and the weight of the game, Yana fights for identity and softness in a world that dares her to harden. Dom, navigating the blurred line between hustling and hope, is learning to make his own rules, and break some he swore he never would.

Told in dual points of view, with rhythm, sharpness and soul, Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea is a love story stitched with grit. It's about mothers who couldn't protect you, brothers who almost killed you, and the kind of love that doesn't promise ease. Only real.

It's about what we carry.
What we survive.
And what we dare to build anyway.
