#2 My father, James Mane, was a hustler and an alley cat. He was always ahead of his time, and I never saw him hold a nine-to-five job. He was shaped by the streets.

#3 My mother, Vicky, was a very smart and resourceful woman. She graduated from Jess Lanier High School in 1975 and went on to get an associate’s degree at Lawson State. She met my father, Ralph, in 1978. They fell in love quick.

#4 I came from a family of alcoholics, but I loved my granddaddy, Walter, and my grandmother, Madear. I was close with them. They spoiled me.
