Every generation gets a defining literary opening line – “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” or “As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams…” And for the generation alive and online in 2015, that honor inarguably goes to “Y’all wanna hear a story about why me & this bitch here fell out????????”. The first tweet in A’Ziah King aka A’Ziah Wells aka Zola’s infamous 150-odd tweet thread has it all: high drama and the promise of more to come (“It’s kind of long,” she continues, “but full of suspense”); an implicit trash-talking challenge couched in streetwise slanguage; and a completely irresistible eight (8) question marks.
