I happen to know at least a hundred Sudanese refugees in the United States, all of whom were taken in by white families and white churches, and they all tell me''Naima, you were blessed to be raised by Black Americans.'

Race means family and all black people whether they like it or not, are family.

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!

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.

My sons are very protective and loving towards me, but I don't know what's in their secret minds about me.

As for feminism, I am a womanist more than I'm a feminist.

I was adopted my black Americans, I feel that I'm a 'Hybrid'. When I'm around Africans'I suddenly feel very black American. And when I'm around black Americans'I feel very North African. North Africa and black America are both the creators of Kola Boof.
