Elaine Welteroth has never been a stranger to storytelling built on sharing one's truth- whether she's injecting a political consciousness into a legacy magazine like Teen Vogue, or creating collages in her childhood home that reflected her experience growing up as a young mixed race girl in the mostly-white suburban town of Newark, California. She will do whatever it takes to capture Simeon's heart, even if it means sacrificing her virtue. But Isidore will not give up her claim to the title-or him-without a fight.
