personal message

I feel we as artist are the keys to unlock the doors to the future. Art is a coded language. We should not confuse industry and artistry. One must approach his or her art forms with a loving, open heart. Your art is your off spring, your child, and a life that should be valued. This is why I have so much passion in my work. I am often asked why don't I perform as much or why I don't write as much as I once did? I respond, I had to raise my children. Though I have no physical children, I had to raise my art forms. I don't write for an audience. I write and create, to make us better. I write so that a homeless man can one day be comforted by his heart and not the bottle in his hand. I write so that "Brenda's Got A Baby" doesn't become the new "Negro National Anthem." I write so that 12 year old homosexual boys and 12 year old homosexual girls can realize that being gay is not the "In Thing" to do. I write for my crack fiend mother and my alcoholic father who were never there for themselves. I write so that your children don't grow up like me. I write because I am a teacher first, a fan second, and a profit never. as artist are the keys to unlock the doors to the future. .
