Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-43) The Capitol Coffee Connection with Maxine is an inspiring journey from her childhood in St. Louis as one of thirteen children where she worked in a segregated coffee shop, to her Los Angeles stories working at a dress factory, the phone company and then with small children and families at Head Start - all before entering over 40 years of public service. Maxine remembers her mother’s unconditional love; her incredible teachers; her friendship with Nelson Mandela; and she shares her love of Hip Hop.
