"A woman-of-color who writes poetry or paints or dances or makes movies knows there is no escape from race or gender when she is writing or painting. She can’t take off her color and sex and leave them at the door or her study or studio. Nor can she leave behind her history. Art is about identity, among other things, and her creativity is political."

Sometimes I still wonder if I made the right choice by coming to Temple instead of Pratt. Feels like I would be a totally different person with a different life. I don’t hate Temple. And I actually like what I’m studying now. But it’s those “what-ifs” that really get me.
