Born and raised in Baltimore, Weatherford recited her first poem to her mother while she was in the first grade. Her father, a high school printing teacher printed some of her poems on index cards.
Her first book, “Juneteenth, Jamboree,” was published in 1995. Since then she has written for children and adult audiences, touching on subjects such as AIDS, slavery, civil rights and now jazz.
Her latest book, “Becoming Billie Holiday,” is a poetic novel for young adults. It was published in 2008. Weatherford’s poems trace Holiday’s journey from Baltimore where she scrubbed marble steps and worked at a brothel to her arrival in New York. Then known by her birth name, Eleanora Fagan, by the time she arrived in New York, the Harlem Renaissance had just given way to the Great Depression. Fagan began to sing and by the age of 25, she fronted the era’s hottest bands and was known to the world as Billie Holiday.

McGee reportedly called her ex-husband on March 18 and told him that she planned to “hide out” from photographers.
Fearing that McGee might take their son and flee to Australia to see an alleged boyfriend, Modica also asked the court that child visitation arrangements be modified.
In the court documents, Modica went on to accuse his ex-wife of falling “more into stripping, pills, alcohol” over the years, as well as exposing their son to her X-rated “performances” in their home.
“There have been pornographic shoots there and live web cam pornographic broadcasts from her home,” he claims.
“I will not continue to expose him to the kind of life Michelle desires and seeks: full on, pornographic, party all the time,” he said.
Modica charges that McGee, who he refers to as a “stripper and pornographic performer”, is mentally ill and refuses to take prescribed medication for bipolar disorder.
