Bri is as real as it gets -- she's bold in her choices, expresses her feeling with a no holds barred attitude and represents when she steps up to the mic. But she also makes very real teenager mistakes that took me right back to my younger days and the things I did when I thought I had all the answers. She learns, as many of us do, that the love and guidance of the ones we keep close doesn't always reflect what we need, or what we *think* we need. Ultimately the truth we speak -- or rap -- is born from that realization, as it is for Bri in On the Come Up. And I LOVED that there was an LGBTQ bestie who was loved and accepted by both male and female friends to the point where it didn't even feel like an issue, which is why it comes at the end of my review.
