The Fit Is My Main Focus, I

I Never Went To College And I Was Raised In Arkansas So There Wasn't A Lot Of Academic Language Being Thrown Around My House. We Weren't Idiots, But I Didn't Have That Access To Academic Feminism. I Had To Realize, On My Own, That Feminism Is Not Just About How Far Ahead You Can Get In A Job And It Isn't About Not Wearing Makeup. It Isn't About Not Watching Your Waistline. I Had To Recreate The World Entirely.

Even Talking, I'm Super-loud. I Could Never Have That Kind Of Meek, Little Wispy Whimsical Lavender And Lace Voice. It Comes From My Body. There's No Way I Can Fight It.

I Said To My Teacher, 'i Can't Be A Singer Because I'm Not Pretty Enough, And I'm Fat.' And She Looked At Me And Said, 'tell That To Nell Carter, Babe.' That Changed My Life Forever!

I Know What I Want! And I Just Go For It.

I've Belched A Lot More Since I Had Gall Bladder Surgery. I Don't Know Why.
