I Like People Who Take Responsibility For

I Talk To Myself Out Loud At Times, And Feel Embarrassed When People Overhear Me.

As A Kid I Didn't See Black Cowboys On The Screen. What That Said To Me Was That There Were Things I Couldn't Do Or Be Because Of My Color. What We See Others Like Us Do Gives Us Permission To Expand Our Own Horizons.

Sometimes I Feel Like I Have Walked Into The Middle Of A Movie. Maybe I Can Make My Own Movie. The Film Will Be The Story Of My Life. No, Not My Life, But Of This Experience. I'll Call It What The Lady Who Is The Prosecutor Called Me. Monster.

My Life Is Not Packaged, Not Tidy. There Are Leftover Strands And Jagged Edges That Cut Even My Friends.

I Want Young People To Be Hesitant To Glorify War And To Demand Of Their Leaders Justification For The Sacrifices They Ask Of Our Citizens.
