There is a list of things I'm not allowed to discuss at the dinner table! I am extraordinarily passionate about the Black Death, which is not something most people are into.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Maybe if I'd had more direct contact with death, I wouldn't find it so fascinating and I wouldn't write about it so much.
I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
There's one more thing I want to say. It's a touchy subject. Black beauty. Black sensuality. We live in a culture where the beauty of black people isn't always as celebrated as other types. I'd like to help change that if I can!
I would say that in my black readership, more of my readers tolerate the horror aspect of my work, you know. 'I don't usually read this kind of stuff, but.'
Most people don't like to talk about violent historical death.
The death of my daughter is a subject I talk about briefly because there is nothing more tragic.
My composition often goes toward the black middle class or the black super-wealthy or strong historical black figures.
I'm interested in seeing artists whom I respect who are very focused on the Black Lives Matter moment, bringing that into storytelling in a way that really amplifies the beauty and the humanity of people of color, and does it without having to wave a big sign that says, 'This is what we're doing.'
Being black, I'm involved in the reparations movement. It's focused toward the African-American audience. We could begin to heal.
I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.
