I'm a storyteller.

You know, the minute I could hold a pen or pencil, you know, I just wanted to make art and listen to stories and tell stories.

And growing up, you know, some people in the black community, if you tell stories, you're a liar.

To lie is to tell a story.

So immediately it's like,

Well, I want to tell stories, you know.

Oh, I'm a liar.

But my mother, I would find out, wanted to be a journalist.

And she never got to see that through.

And so then she has this daughter who arrives after she had actually had a stillborn child.

And I'm saying, I'm going to write.

I'm going to be...

This is a writer.

I think that must have been really complicated for her.

And I have to share, too, you know, after she died and I was going through her office, I opened up this bookshelf.
