I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.

My work as a doula also extends all the way to the end of life. I sit at the bedsides of people who are passing on in hospices or nursing homes, for the people and families who want that kind of thing.

We literally just finished making this gown 20 minutes ago. I love it. It's my favorite color.

It's just that little box in the middle of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Most of the time I go I don't even leave that apartment. I have just enough: a little bed, a little kitchen with two pots. I make some tea and I look out the window or just lay down.

I have an organization called BLIND [Beautiful Love Incorporated Nonprofit Development], so named because even though my interest is in the black community, because that's where I grew up and that's where I'm most skilled in fixing things, it doesn't end there.

No one chooses to raise children alone.

Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good.
