Staceyann Chin- The Other Side of Paradise

I finished this book a few weeks ago and it was amazing. It's the memoir of her life growing up in Jamaica (which was eventful to say the least) and her eventually coming out. You can pre-order it as it won't be available for sale until April 19th.

To be honest, I didn't know about her until this book, but she was on Def Poetry Jam some years ago, Oprah two years ago, and most people must be familiar with her. I have never been a fan of poetry, but I will definitely give her stuff a listen.
