I write for myself, and my goal is bringing that world and that experience of black Americans to life on the stage and giving it a space there.
From Romare Bearden I learned that the fullness and richness of everyday life can be rendered without compromise or sentimentality.
There are always and only two trains running. There is life and there is death. Each of us rides them both. To live life with dignity, to celebrate and accept responsibility for your presence in the world is all that can be asked of anyone.
Life don't owe you nothing.
All of art is a search for ways of being, of living life more fully.
