Diana Levine came to my house two weeks ago and asked me a few questions. She then cut her questions and pieced together some if my answers into this interview: My Words. Enjoy!

For those who didn’t make it to There Will Be Words at Urban ReThink on August 9, 2011, here is the story I read aloud: Once, a long time ago, during a dinner among second-tier friends, I admitted that I didn’t like animals. I had said it casually and as quietly as please pass the [...]

Recently, I won an accolade–Orlando Weekly’s Best Local Author. “How did that happen?” my boyfriend asked me. He can be romantic at times, but this wasn’t the day for that. “No offense or anything,” he continued, holding the new Orlando Weekly in his hand. “But who voted for you?
