When these men get to star model and author Baje Fletcher however, the game gets flipped on them and she's taking no prisoners in the process.

"If everything I have today is taken away from me, I know how to pick myself up and start all over again because I came from nothing." Baje concludes, "Everything I have now is a blessing.
