When I Get Onstage, I Automatically Feel

A Woman Is More Than The Sum Of Her Parts. So I Had An Opportunity To Present Some Work At The White House. I Chose Not Just To Talk About The Sky, The Planet, Love Or Heartache. I Wanted To Actually Be There, To Place A Mark On That Moment.

I Could Hear Music Playing In The Background Of Works By Certain Authors, Like Poe And Shakespeare. And I Discovered Nikki Giovanni When I Was In Eighth Grade. Her Writing Has A Musical Energy With Pulse And Rhythm, Almost Like Jazz Or Hip-hop.

Music Shouldn't Be A Chore Or Feel Like Any Kind Of Burden.

I Like A Man Who Smells Good. Puts On Cologne; Lotions His Body. It Keeps Me Wanting. I Like Feeling That Way.

Saturday Night Live Is A Show That I Think I Could Have A Lot Of Fun On, Just Being Different Characters And Maybe Singing, Too.
