If it weren't for the unconventionality of my desires, my mind might never have been forced to reckon with my body..

I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment..

The nationalism I seek is one that decolonizes the brown and female body as it decolonizes the brown and female earth.

It's over. Absolutely, completely, eternally over.
