It's so nice to get flowers while you can still smell the fragrance.
The best thing about living... Is the chance to keep on doing it!
Malcolm X made me very strong at a time I needed to understand what I was angry about. He had peace in his heart. He exerted a big influence on me.
music became my refuge and then my salvation.
My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman.
I was unique in that I was a kind of black that white people could accept. I was their daydream. I had the worst kind of acceptance because it was never for how great I was or what I contributed. It was because of the way I looked.
