Bound together by our beliefs, we are like minded individuals, sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of color lines.

We're all driven to premieres or nightclubs and seen the rope separating those who can enter and those who can't. Well, there's also velvet rope we have inside of us, keeping others from knowing our feelings.

In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.

By age seven, I used to comb my hair for performances, just pull my hair up into a bun. Granted, it wasn't a very intricate hairstyle. Still, to be that responsible and disciplined at age seven is unusual.

You've made love to my mind, now you gotta take me from behind.

I'm fine the way I am. There's nothing wrong with me.

It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down.
