First Lady of BMF: The Tonesa Welch Story

All a bit predictable and full of the usual pantomime villains and girls who stick together and fight back against their abusers.

It's nothing that you haven't seen before but I guess as a true story it's worth watching ( even though it might not be accurate) I enjoyed it though and it's a good time filler.

The acting isn't great but the plot moves along nicely.

All about the easy money and the good life gone wrong and seen for the folly it is.

Her neglect of her children doesn't make it easy to like her but you can sympathise as you can imagine what it must have been like for a single mother back then.

This must have just been a money grab. The movie is trash. Meech barely in there this lady wants everyone to think she was behind bmf. If you was behind bmf why would you do that little time. This is unbelievable and not worth watching. She did 3 years and everybody else got football numbers. I would skip this movie it's a waste of time and contains BS that does not go along with the real bmf story. I know she was Big Tee girl and that's about it. She trying to play the victim and act like she was bigger than she was. I guess she felt like she made bmf. We know the truth it's been documented in multiple interviews with the guys that did many years in prison. To be clear Don't Waste Your time.

Some women are not ready to be mothers for a variety of reasons, including individual preferences, professional ambitions, financial concerns, and a perceived lack of a supporting partner. Tonesa was invited to a high-end lifestyle and accepted it without hesitation. She rapidly grew intrigued by "the game" and desired more. But, as a woman in a male-dominated world, she was told to remain in her place. As soon as the king fell, she resolved to take charge and put her thoughts into effect. She began climbing the ladder, taking over multiple territories, and she favor a new king to accompany her, Terry. She just didn't expect karma to bite her.

Watching this movie while writing this review. This ish is horrible :-D. I'm a big fan of the BMF series. There is nothing good I can say about this film other than it not being a series and having to watch it every week bwhaha. Writing in this script seems basic hell. Narration is amatuerish. This shouls be Vivica's first and last time directing a film. As in the previous review, don't bother watching this film unless you are extremely bored. OR possibly you enjoy watching fiims from a female that's scorned over 50 and made the weak attempt to one up him lol. Let's move this film over to Tubi lol.

As someone who works with young girls, I've seen how challenging it is to overcome the stigma of a criminal record.

What I like most about the film is that it's not just about what went wrong. I work with young girls who have no clue about what they'll do after they get released. The First Lady of BMF was able to pick herself up and rebuild her life. Further, she put her hands down to lift others out of their unfortunate situation. That's almost unheard of, and I wish more men would follow her example.

• Looking at you BMF

I strongly recommend young black & brown women watch this movie and learn - we don't need more glamorous drug dealers... our urban communities have far too many of them, either incarcerated or deceased.
