You have to be taught to be second class; you're not born that way.
I thought of singing and acting as a living-making. I was able to take care of myself and a few of my friends.
I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.
My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman.
After I got over the terrible pain of having something of mine taken from me, I began to think how bad everybody else must be feeling. It wasn't a nice time.
The best thing about living... Is the chance to keep on doing it!
