I've spent my whole life in Chicago being asked where am I from, so that I have a sense of displacement that also is very psychologically disorienting.

There are things coming from me that I felt I wanted to talk about. My search for my own blend of spirituality, my acknowledgement of my sexuality, my being the single mother of a young man.

I like to have my privacy. I don't like people knowing what I do in my free time. I am also a very shy person, but I understand that people want to know more.

Our goal should be to achieve joy.

Human sexuality has been regulated and shaped by men to serve men's needs.

For things to have value in man's world, they are given the role of commodities. Among man's oldest and most constant commodity is woman.
