Waithe parents divorced when she was three, and she grew up on the south side of Chicago so she knows the story.

Don't have Showtime, yep...bummer.

Louis Armstrongs... SATCHMO...a fantastic read about black life. His was growing up in the Storyville region of New Orleans. He talks about laying in bed as a kid listening to gun shots and screams most every night.
