I wasn't allowed to use people's real names, such as my siblings and my children's father, but there's nothing fabricated or untrue in my autobiography.

I have never turned a trick in my life, and I just resent the American definitions of ’sex slave’ and ’prostitute’ so much. I was a mistress!

My autobiography is one of the truest, most frankly written books ever published in the western hemisphere.

Even though I couldn't speak English, there were many times that my black-American parents could read my mind and I could read theirs.

In 1998, I was trained by the SPLA [Sudanese People's Liberation Army ] in London how to pretend to be a geologist.

I was born to an Arab father and I was born Islamic.

I warn black Americans'don't get too mixed. A little is fine, but not to the point where you're out of the family.
