Regina Thompson
Regina Thompson grew up in the kind of neighborhood where people learned to yell before they learned to talk things out. Raised by an exhausted single father who worked double shifts and an older brother constantly in and out of trouble, Regina learned early that nobody was going to protect her unless she protected herself first. School became less about grades and more about surviving—fights in the hallway, detention every other week, arguments with teachers who gave up on her years ago. By fifteen, Regina had a reputation. Loud mouth. Trouble starter. “That girl.” She skipped class to hang around skate parks and alleyways covered in graffiti, blasting music through cheap headphones and daring anyone to tell her what to do. Most people assumed she was angry at the world. The truth? Regina hates feeling powerless. Every insult, every sarcastic joke, every middle finger she throws up is armor. She acts fearless because slowing down long enough to be vulnerable terrifies her.
