Ms. Unique Waterfall

Unique Waterfall is an Illinois native who grew up on the South Side of Chicago, known as the wild hundreds. Born and raised in the Altgeld Garden Housing Projects, writing was an escape from the reality of living in public housing. The oldest of her siblings, Unique was an outgoing but cautious child who always had something to read in her hand. Whether it was a book, magazine, or a newspaper she was constantly reading and writing. Unique is an avid lover of the arts and the Harlem Renaissance era, this love is what fueled her desire to write poetry. Writing was something that she only did for herself as a release from the pressures of everyday life she never shared her writings with others. But encouragement from her family and friends she started to share some of her writings online. Unique started brain storming writing a book and soon the novel’s “2 Sides 2 The Rainbow” and “2 Sides Part 2” was born.
