I have almost like this superstitious thing that if I were to actually do an elective surgery to look younger, I would immediately get, my cancer would come back, or I would get Parkinson's, or it's almost like, recently I was thinking about, my dad loved that ancient fable, Appointment in Samara.
I realized there's nothing wrong if I am a black single mother for life. I've lived a great life as a black single mother. I had a great black single mother. It may not be my preference, but it's not a death sentence. It's not doom.
I was afraid that if I wrote that book, I was going to be a black single mother for the rest of my life. But also, as I wrote this book, I realized there's nothing wrong if I am a black single mother for life. I've lived a great life as a black single mother. It may not be my preference, but it's not a death sentence, it's not doom.
