After hosting the 2nd Annual Prodigy Literary Awards with rapper and author Mack Mama I was intrigued by her style and grace. We both identified that we had not known of each other prior to her being nominated for and winning Best Blog Talk Radio Host, but after reading TALES OF AN ORIGINAL BAD GIRL, I know Mack Mama and Natoka.This autobiography started with a bang. The opening paragraph introduced me to her heroine addicted parents and I was immediately hooked, as the woman I knew as Mack Mama could not have been a crack baby. The book then took me through a tale that introduced me to jail, 50 Cent, drugs, and sex. I was often like "get the bleep outta here. How'd she endure that?" My emotions ran wild and I knew what prompted Mack Mama to work diligently to be all that she is: author, rapper, blogger, radio show host, and mentor. Oh, and easy on the eye. The book comes with many pictures--evidence of her tale.This was an excellent book and I have a new found love and connection to this phenomenal woman. This is definitely a must read for all women struggling with crime, sex, drugs, and men. And equally a guide to young girls on how to grow into women.Read galley provided by the author.
