The Essence of an Affair

By Khalilah Smith

Sonya's life would have appeared to have fallen out of a fairytale. Born and raised in West Oakland, she grows up to become the wife of one of the biggest names in the NFL, Eric Jackson. She has her Master's degree in Psychology, four beautiful children, and at heart she is still "Sony" from West Oakland. She still runs with her same crew, which includes her sister Mya, two cousins, Bri and Alisha, and childhood friend Kim. On their annual trip to New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival, Sonya meets Charles Knight, the franchise player for the New Jersey Nets. A night of conversation and a weekend of flirtatious gestures make Sonya question herself, her relationship and life as a whole. Have you ever wondered what makes a person have an affair? Take this journey to find out the true "Essence of an Affair," and see how love, betrayal, and two high profile athletes could lead to a tragic situation.
