Sister Daniels Character Analysis

Curtis's grandmother and Grandma's enemy at Christ Temple Church. Though the church still allows her to serve food, Grandma started the rumor that Sister Daniels's apartment is infested with roaches, so they no longer ask her to cook for the congregation. Sister Daniels loves to gossip and make people gasp when they hear her information, which leads to her telling Grandma about Long and Tate assaulting Bri before Bri has the chance to do so herself. Bri begins to feel more kindly toward Sister Daniels when she starts to get involved romantically with Curtis, who lives with his grandmother since his mom is in jail. Sister Daniels doesn't seem to hold it against Bri that she and Grandma are enemies when she finds Bri in her living room with Curtis.

But.

She put us through it in the first place.
