庄子曰：“贫也，非惫也。士有道德不能行，惫也；衣弊履穿，贫也，非惫也；此所谓非遭时也。王独不见夫腾猿乎？其得枏梓豫章也，揽蔓其枝而王长其间　To the streets, Raq Thomas is cold, hard and fierce — a successful and deadly woman taking names in a man’s world. She is tough, resolute, ruthless, but Raq still is capable of love. Great love. The sole recipient of that affection is her son, Kanan; he is everything to her. As much as she cares for him, though, there are many instances where one wonders if she loves him for who he is or if she loves him merely as an extension of herself. The middle child of three, Raq also carries the heavy burden as the earner for her two brothers. She is the sun, and everyone else in her universe exists in her orbit.
