Stephanie “Queenie” St. Clair, Was Basically The Real Life Fish Mooney From Gotham

Apparently not alot of people have warmed up to the created for TV show character Fish Mooney, played by the beautiful Jada Pinkett Smith.

In poor urban areas, “the home lives of gang girls are marked frequently by breakdown and dysfunction, at worst resulting in physical and sexual abuse”. Many girls who do not have a loving home or support structure seek it outside of the home in hopes that the gang will be their surrogate family.
