In my experience when I do try to avoid something, it makes its way into the work anyway. To be in front of it and just make friends with it is easier for me.
Morgan ParkerI don't think that there are as many black women or women of color becoming psychiatrists, so we can't find them and then we feel looked at and studied and that's part of what is damaging to us. It's hard to find therapy that is actually a tool for your own liberation. I think we can be really distrustful.
Morgan ParkerI guess the only thing I'd say is it ['There are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncรฉ?'] shouldn't be read as "Beyoncรฉ is not beautiful."
Morgan ParkerI think that fear came from, "Okay, I'm going to have Beyoncรฉ in the title, and people are just going to think, it's Beyoncรฉ poems. It's light and fun." I was kind of super-conscious of that. It's kind of like this weird trick I'm playing, where you're like, "What an interesting, fun cover, and then the name Beyoncรฉ." Then you open it, and it's just about my depression. All of it belongs together.
