The black artist is dangerous. Black art controls the 'Negro's' reality, negates negative influences, and creates positive images.
I write to tell the truth about the black condition as I see it. Therefore, I write to offer a black woman's view of the world.
The words loved me and I loved them in return.
Art... reacts to or reflects the culture it springs from.
...I write to keep in contact with our ancestors and to spread truth to people.
I shall become, I shall become a collector of me. And put meat on my soul.
