Nakima Jones is done staying quiet.

She doesn’t want to wear ‘sexy’ shirts to work, to have her young son plead with her to change out of the tight shirt that’s her uniform as she leaves for work. She is done worrying about her looks, fretting about whether she looks sexy enough to attract attention – and tips.
