Like usual Tameka is getting accused of plagiarizing. A girl who wrote something in Huffington Post who is also author Aisha Curry Pretty who penned “Pretty for a Black Girl”, is claiming she basically took her entire article.
Here's what she had to say : “My heart sank into my stomach. All the hard work, all the sleepless nights I had endured was playing back in my head as I read this article written by a woman I didn’t even know. Why did I feel so connected to this article?
Suddenly, it came to me. It was my work! It was my work, my voice, but in her words. I was frozen. Tears began rolling down my face as I read line after line after line. I couldn’t believe it. The idea that someone could gain notoriety from an issue that I first brought to the forefront is mindboggling. People were praising her for tackling an issue that had never been exposed. Hello?!? I wrote the book on it and started it years ago. The only difference between her article and my book is she used ‘dark-skinned’ and I used ‘Black.”I cannot and will not say she stole my idea, because you never should assume. However, I will say that It seemed like one heck of a coincidence and everything I touched on she did.
What did Tameka had to say? Plain clear and simple :
“Tameka has never even heard of the book you referenced nor does she believe you even deserve a response.”
