I always say that I'm a human being, and I'm a woman, and I'm a black woman, and I'm a writer, and I'm a poet, and I'm a dancer, and I'm a singer, and I'm a mother, and I'm a grandmother, and I'm a great-grandmother. And I'm a teacher. And I'm a friend. And I'm a lover. And I'm a fighter. And I'm a survivor. And I'm a healer. And I'm a human being.
