Fatima is an only child

Fatima is an only child. She was raised by her grandmother, Madea Simmons. When Fatima was 6 months her mother committed suicide. Her mother, Carla was rapped at a young age, and when things became too much, she overdosed on pain medicine trying to get rid of her mental and emotional pain.

When Madea found out she pressed charges on the young man. His father was a famous athlete who offered her $2 million to drop the charges and leave his family and son alone.

Madea knew no amount of justice or money could bring her daughter back, so she took the money. She thought at least the money could help her raise Fatima.

Being a single parent, a second time was not in her dreams, but this time hopefully would be better. With the $2 million she bought a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home in a good neighborhood. She started her business, Carla's Country Catering, named after her daughter. She also used the money for Fatima's education, such as private school during her high school years, undergrad, and then grad school. Then she put the rest in savings for her and Fatima later down the road.

When Fatima turned 16, Madea thought it was best to explain to her what happened to her mother. Fatima took it better than Madea thought, but that helped her to decide what she wanted to be when she got older.

Fatima is friendly and down to earth. She doesn't play about the people she loves, but she also isn't the one to play with.
