Departing from her home in Charleston, she finds herself overwhelmed with tears as she embarks on a new journey to Chicago. The energy and vibrancy of the Windy City resonate with her free-spirited and defiant nature.
Chicago offers her a sense of liberation that she never experienced in the more refined and traditional surroundings of Charleston. This shift to a place that embraces her outspoken personality allows her to explore her identity, leaving behind the constraints of her previous life.
