“I have always enjoyed storytelling, especially narratives told through the voices of the African diaspora. Their influences are so diverse, so vast. I love incorporating elements of fiction and fantasy into their realities.”

“There are many repercussions directly linked to the trans–Atlantic slave trade, including the destruction of sacred land boundaries and familial ties, as well as the systemic racism people of the African diaspora presently experience throughout the world.”

“It’s supposed to be a trial. But no such thing as a trial if you got one drop of Negro blood in you. Having that one drop means you don’t have a voice. It means yes, you live and walk and breathe like a man, but you not a man. You not equal to men who don’t have that one drop. You tainted by that drop of Negro blood. Dirty. And tainted, dirty men don’t get a fair trial.”

“There was a time you when you were not a slave, remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it, remember... You say there are no words to describe this time, you say it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent.”
