Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “You Got Me Twisted”?
Gloria Dotson-Lewis: “You Got Me Twisted”, as well as my first, “Ninety-Nine Problems”, was inspired by a small group of girls I use to mentor. I wrote a short story for them to open up dialogue about various teen issues.
