I also have been called that terrible "N" word straight to my face and not known what to do about it because it was just in like 1993 that someone called me that.

By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.

When I’m rested, I’m at my best.

I wish all men were like dogs.

My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.

I learned up less is more.The makeup used to wear me and now I wear the makeup.

I've become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore.
