Houston was born and raised in Chicago, she attended Kennedy-King College where she honed her creative skills and created the stage play 227 in 1978. The play would eventually become the sitcom 227. Before finding success in Hollywood, she faced many set-backs, including being excluded from writing the first episodes of 227.
