Kimberly explains growing up on the North End of Detroit, in an area that once was called Black Bottom & Paradise Valley, how the "Rabbit has died" and how to keep a secret from her grandmother MA 'MA, all while trying to devise a plan on how to blow up the world so she won't ever have to attend school.
