When I do book readings, I always incorporate music or singing.

It's exciting to consider how art, in its ability to reveal, can be ahead of the artist.

I didn't want to give the white reader an opportunity to think of racism as imaginary - a sentiment that is already a central barrier in addressing the problem.

Children's books have great potential to reveal new possibilities to readers, because the intended audience is at an age of genuine learning.

Music is my first love, where my artistic journey began.

As a person of color, I know race can't be stripped from admiration or preference.

As much as I believe in the capacity for art to create change, and as much as being an artist is physically and emotionally challenging, there is ultimately something a bit comfortable about making art in the comfort of your own home.
