It Ain’t Just Ice Cube And Dr. Dre: Did You Know They Were From Compton?

The very hilarious actress, TV personality, and now love and relationship author, was born in Palmdale, California, but was raised in Compton. As she likes to put it, “I’m just a little black girl from Compton.” But she didn’t have the easiest time growing up there. Back in ’85, she saw her mom shot by an ex (her mother survived), and her younger brother was shot and killed in 1993. According to reports, she got into comedy by cracking jokes and doing routines for her mother in an effort to help lift her spirits after her brother’s death.
