"You ain't stupid, Yvette. You're just in love with a man. When you in love with a man, he can make you feel high. So high you just be in outer space. But a man can also make you feel low. Real low. And he can keep you there. Keep you down. If you let him. Don't even worry about feeling used. It's just temporary. Everyone gets used. Men use women, women use men. Just face the fact you're going to be used. But if you feel so used, you ain't got nothing left, if the man ain't giving you the energy you need to love his ass -- even when he's acting like a bastard, then you need to let it go. If you ain't got nothing to give yourself or your baby then how you going to have it to give to him." - HITS DIFFERENTLY WHEN U HAVE A CHILD

She’s like 15/16 years older than Tyrese, so could’ve been a teen mom. That’s what the role gave, and she brought it!

[@on2wheels378]

It was implied in the film.

[@KawaiianKing]

You can also tell how youthful she was in her character, she had Jody and his bro at a young age so you see her trying to live what young days she couldn't as a adolescent with kids through her n Melvin new relationship

She really shouldve been nominated for an award for Baby Boy. She killed it.

When she says she wanted to impress her friend(John Singleton) and that she wanted him to be proud of her. I absolutely love that.

[@kingtyson713]

Baby boy resonated deeply in our community until this day.

[@cinemeleon2808]

She gives such incredible insight into John’s directing style. She is one of the only ones I have heard really talk about his directing; and she does it in such a captivating yet simple way.

[@itsnoahonfire]

I remember the summer of '01 it was my cousin's birthday and we went to see Baby Boy. I was 15 and he was turning 16 and we cracked up the whole movie! Meanwhile my brother and his friend (our ride) decided they didn't wanna see the movie and stayed in the car smoking weed the entire time. We got in the car and weed smoke was all in our lungs. We got a contact on the way home. Good memories!

[@billymincey3246]

She played that movie absolutely real well I Salute her 100

[@shawn4ever77]

The way they adlib these iconic scenes is pure genius from Singleton. Miss Johnson & the cast were terrific. I'm pretty sure the same techniques were used on 'Poetic Justice' between Lucky and Justice.
