I'm Trying To Find My Own Version

I Like To Choose Compassion Over Judgment And Curiosity Over Fear.

Sometime In My Second Year At Brown [university], I Took An Acting Class. And The Lightbulb Went Off For Me. I Fell In Love With It. I Realized That Everything I Was Afraid Of About Myself, All My Fears, Could Be Used In That World.

I Felt Like It Was A Courageous Show [black-ish] From The Beginning. We Are A Black Family - We're Not A Family That Happens To Be Black. But The Show Is Not Even About Us Being Black. The Show Is About Us Being A Family. That Is Groundbreaking - On Tv, The Black Characters Either Happen To Be Black Or They're The "black Character," Where Everything They Say Is About Being Black. I Think That's The Genius.

Here Is My Wish And My Desire And My Pledge As Well: That We Remember Our True Nature And Our Womanhood. That We Own And Know That We Are More Than Our Bodies And Yet Our Bodies Are These Sacred, Beautiful, Rhythmic Houses For Us.

I've Always Been A Curious Thinker. And Now, As An Adult, I Can Articulate It.
