Writing Is The Only Place I Can

I Don't Trust White Critics' Judgment About Most Things That Deal With Black Life, Particularly When A Black Person Is The Creator.

I Have A Big Mouth, And Over The Years, As The Eldest Of Five, I Have Had A Tendency To Speak When No One Really Cared.

You Know, One Of My Fears About Living Alone So Long Is That You Get Used To Doing Everything Your Own Way.

I Don't Let Negative Criticism, For The Most Part, Bother Me.

I Was Tired Of Chasing Ghosts, Hollow Men Who Were Outside My Comfort Zone, Men Who Had Nothing To Give Me Except A Rush. It Was All I Asked For, And All I Ever Got.
