There's no idea in the world that is not contained by black life. I could write forever about the black experience in America.

It ain't nothing to find no starting place in the world. You just start from where you find yourself.

All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.

I write for myself, and my goal is bringing that world and that experience of black Americans to life on the stage and giving it a space there.

I've lived a blessed life. I'm ready.

All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.
