I really feel a sense of responsibility first as a creation of a force that I call God, that's bigger than myself. And because I'm black, I feel the responsibility to that. I feel the responsibility to my womanness. But more importantly, I feel a responsibility to my humanness.

Skilled in every trick, a worthy heir of his paternal craft, he would make black look like white, and white look black.

Qui facere assueret, patriae non degener artis,
Candida de nigris, et de candentibus atra.]
