I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.

I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting, the 1960's, and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.

Anger is an appropriate reaction to racist attitudes, as is fury when the actions arising from those attitudes do not change.

Perhaps...I am the face of one of your fears. Because I am a woman, because I am Black, because I am a lesbian, because I am myself--a Black woman warrior poet doing my work--come to ask you, are you doing yours?

I have died too many deaths that were not mine.

Black women sharing close ties with each other, politically or emotionally, are not the enemies of Black men.

One pays a lot, we all pay a lot, for awareness.
