Description

Composer's Note:

"Breaking Point"I have been asking myself these questions of who I am As a person,As an individualAs an artist.And asking, "What does it mean to become me?And what does it mean to become "black'?Because I've been black my entire life."Thinking myself an imposter in my own skin. Tearing myself across the rigidAnd the beautiful -The harsh dissonance from my bodyAnd the spiritual lyricism in my soul.But I have decided not to limit myself -To be part of one thingAnd everything at the same time.Because I am me,I am me.And I will not allow myself to retreatOr shrink inside.Because I have hit my breaking point -No return.
