Wow does the title understate her story. Not only is she tearing down boundaries with her weight and transcending her own stereo types but she went from an impoverished inner-city kid, whose family and neighborhood was riddled with poverty, drugs, gangs, violence, all interconnected within the "stark gray housing projects" to a privately schooled professional musician and educator. What an impressive story, truly heartfelt.
