My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman.

I really do hate to sing.

Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.

I thought of singing and acting as a living-making. I was able to take care of myself and a few of my friends.

A little nepotism never hurt nobody, honey. If you got it, use it. Press on with it. Remind them of it.

I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.

The naked female body is treated so weirdly in society. It's like people are constantly begging to see it, but once they do, someone's a hoe.
