First Lady of BMF: The Tonesa Welch Story

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.

This is a very long, drawn out movie for no reason. EVERYTHING was stretch. The acting, the scene set ups, directing, the script/dialogue...just not good what so ever. Currently still watching because it's like driving past a car accident....you just gotta get that good look to see exactly what happened. But this ish is horrible. Jess & Leon, & the Harvey actor (God Bless him) did what they needed to do...but the main chick...this was just not the role for her. I thought 50 cent was involved that's only reason why I clicked play...but nah. This ain't it. And First Lady of BMF?! Not with this!!

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.

She literally told the world she was stupid and didnt care about her kids. Pawning them off on her parents. Was a gold digger and took all the credit. This was the worst. I didnot know kellie played the mom. Leon always do him. Dude play Meech can only play thug roles. Love him. She truly never had her kids. I know whomever wrote this had to ask her did she really want to put thisout to the world. She the smartest and dumbest one. And the hardest out of all of them. She know everything but didn't know her son and nephews were in the game. She made Tee look so damn young and dumb. Terry, i get it.
