Once Bad Intentions is a poignant, disturbing and exhilarating coming of age. The inspirational story of a young girl’s journey to defeat her past, the violent characteristics she had become prone to, and succeed in the world of fashion photography.
Told through the eyes of Stephanie Johnson, Once Bad Intentions provides an integral insight into the causal factors that shape the characters of dysfunctional, disenfranchised youth.
A gritty, realistic, and poetic portrayal of a life captured by music, fashion and a lost identity growing up in South London throughout the nineties. Stephanie Johnson takes readers on an emotional journey from days fuelled by bad intentions to the mercy of forgiveness at the footsteps of redemption.
This book is partly inspired by classic and contemporary literary fiction authors such as:
– Sista Souljah
– Zadie Smith
– Richard Wright
– Maya Angelou
– Toni Morrison
– Ralph Ellison

I hope, through the at times disturbing and heartfelt depictions of a journey familiar by many, you see the subtle humour. Feel the raging love. Unearth the daily learnings. And, above all, find enjoyment and inspiration in this read.
