Description: "A rare authentic glimpse into the electrifying arts scene of New York City's East Village during the vibrant 1990s...a chronicle of a movement through the eyes of one young woman working to cultivate her voice while making peace with her difficult and often abusive family.   Her rise to prominence as the spoken word artist known as Cheryl B brought with it a series of destructive girlfriends and boyfirends, and a dependence on drugs and alcohol that would take nearly a decade to shake"--P.
