What comes of [Fake Deep, 20??] is what becomes of black women speaking against misogyny. In this compilation, there is a poetic sense, a pro-black sense, for the search, discovery and adherence to individuality. If woman has limits, it is because she has imposed them on themselves, the individual woman living on her own accords cannot meet any obstacles created by male device that she cannot conquer, that she cannot overthrow. In the "Fake Deep" that discuss the "wolves in sheep's clothing" the man who appears understanding, educated and enlightened upon first introduction and reveals him true self as just another common man chasing his phallic potency. This man has left " a smoking trail of manipulated and broken women;" his "tools of manipulation" states that women are "disposable," objects to be objectified without conscious objection. "Boys will be boys is the learned justification to excuse the recklessness."

"He is the one who is taught that women are pieces of art to be lured at by the male gaze."

The strength of these women come in the most poetic, afrocentric, "afrocentrosity" to pledge any man uncertain, any man without authenticity, to cower and fall back to his previous position of wait and prey, perhaps for a weaker, more ignorant, more subservient prey. If men are animals then they prey on the weak as a Lion would the Gazelle in a hunt in the Kalahari; inasmuch male misogyny has gained momentum with every female enablement, every woman who panders her flesh because it is the easier way to get through life, these women have found that to stay true to oneself, you must resist anything, anyone who attempts to exploit you or condone exploitation of female flesh. If a woman wants to know if a man respects her for her mind, she should keep her clothes on to be sure. Cecile Emeke and her company of poetic crusadesses have outline with art, with film, in art and film, the hallmarks of what it means to be free, be an individual, be black and remain true to all notions that calloused wounds from misadventure.
