On August 1, 2014 Remy Ma was released from prison. She was locked up on assault, weapon and coercion charges. Yesterday, exactly one year later, she posted on IG to reflect on how her life has changed since then and to thank everyone who has helped her adjust. Hit the jump to see what she had to say.
Remy Ma looked back at a photo she posted 52 weeks ago. It was her very first selfie and the first time she slept in her own bed in six years. She reposted the photo with the caption,

Yet, by the grace of my merciful God, I was able to awake the next day at home, in my bed, and post my 1st selfie. At this moment I was so happy but still in shock that I was actually “free
She then posted a more recent photo of herself still in her own bed, thanking everyone who helped her adjust back into life and especially her husband Papoose for sticking by her side. She said,
“Here it is, exactly 1 year later and it feels great to say #ImAround. Thank you to everyone that supported me and helped make my transition back into society a warm, inviting, & loving feeling I am truly thankful.However, I would not have been able to be WHO I am & where I am today had it not been for my loyal, honest, dedicated, & loving husband and best friend…”
