During Raisin one of my castmates, Joseph Edward, who played Bobo, asked me a more potent question, “Why don’t you have anyone in your life? You seem really smart. You’re a nice woman. Why don’t you have someone in your life?” Joseph and I had a great friendship of transparency and respect. “I don’t know.” I almost cried when he asked me that. It was a question that seared through my soul. One that I refused to even ask myself. By this point, I was a few years from my fibroid surgery. I was alone but not lonely, or so I thought. I was good if I didn’t think too deep.
