Foxy Brown

My family never missed a visit in eight months, ever. I cried coming out. I didn't cry coming in. There's a big difference. I believe that God put me there for a reason, Incarceration is serious.

I'm a child of the Women's Movement. I always believed that I could do anything. That women didn't have to be limited in any way.

I devoted my career to building an affinity with my fans who have supported me unflinchingly and no barbed wire fence or prison wall will stop that.

The Foxy character and Inga Marchand are two different people. My fiance calls me Inga. No one around me calls me Foxy. I go to church every Sunday. I go to Bible study every Friday night. I'm saved.

I was falsely arrested twice, slandered and defamed.

The only crime I'm guilty of is being a young black woman.

Being in jail, it's humbled me in a way I never imagined.

I love Harlem, it's like a second home to me.

My purpose is far greater than my pain.

I've never stabbed, hurt, killed, stolen, anything, but I went to jail for a year. What is that? My pastor said to me the fact that I'm not living under a bridge as a crazy woman, talking to myself, is amazing.

My life needed to be saved. Not just Foxy. That's my character. That's my work. Inga is a person.

I'm cut from a different cloth. I would never moon someone. I was raised in a good family.
