As a general rule, I tend to collaborate with artists whose work I admire.

I do use art as a site of protest, particularly in relation to dominant narratives.

In poetry, I didn't have to provide resolution. I could ask hard questions without feeling responsible for the answers.

I have always considered the aesthetic of a project, including press photos, as a means to further the message of the art itself.

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 are receptive to talking about gender creativity, confirming the importance of the book as a means to instigate this dialogue at an early age.

I tend to focus less on genre as a starting point and more on idea or intention and let the idea dictate genre.
