On Being a Black Woman in Art...

“Being an artist was never really a choice; writing and the performing arts were introduced to me young and have been integrated into my lifestyle since childhood. Being a Woman who is an artist is a part of who I am. Being a Black Woman Artist means my art gets to be free and substantial in a way that is unique to the Black experience. Womanhood and Blackness in art don’t conform to conventional expectation, they exceed it.”
